Chapter Two: Pain and Memories
When I wake up. I am in some random bed, in some random room, in some random house. I start to panic but can't get up because my leg is too heavy. I start to scream.
"Emma, Meagan, Kate, help, someone help. Where are you? Help!" I scream with a mix of terror and pain.
The door open and a really cute guy walks in. But, I still try to drag myself out of the bed and out of the room.
"Stop, where are you going?" The guy says in a soothing voice.
"Where am I? Where are my friends?" I say confused.
"They're fine; they are taking a nap in the living room. You guys were jumped by 9 Socs 2 days ago and you broke you leg and got a lot of cuts on your stomach. Your friends weren't off too bad, just some minor cuts and bruises. But you, you looked like you were going to die. You scared the heck out of us. We were so scared that I carried you all the way to my house and then my oldest brother, Darry, drove you to the hospital. You were okay though. " He said with his beautiful voice.
When I pulled up my shirt I saw words written o my stomach but they were cuts I started to cry.
"Don't worry the doctor says it won't scar." He said in a convincing voice.
"I am Ponyboy Michael Cutis by the way." He said more relaxed.
"I am Kailey Anne Ahearn and thanks for saving us." I said gratefully trying to suppress the pain from my leg.
"You okay Kailey, does your leg hurt because the doctor gave us some pain medication for it." He said thoughtfully and worried at the same time.
"Yea actually thanks." I said happily.
When he got up to get the pain meds and water I looked around the room. I saw books and clutter everywhere. It kinda looked like my room. I saw clothes on the floor. What intrigued me was a picture of a toddler and two older kids and two adults near a lake. I wondered who these people where. The toddler looked like Ponyboy but the others I didn't recognize. Ponyboy came back with the meds and water. After I took the meds I asked Ponyboy a question.
"Ponyboy?" I asked.
"Call me Pony and yea." Pony said smiling.
"Who are the people in the picture" I said as I pointed at the picture.
Pony got up and grabbed the picture and said
"I am the toddler and the middle one is my brother named Sodapop and yes that is real name and this is Darry my oldest brother. These are my parents they died for months ago in a car accident. Now I live with Darry and soda." He said in a calm voice.
"Oh, I am so sorry. But, I know how you feel." I said
"What do you mean?" He said confused.
"You can't tell anyone this because the girls don't even know this. When I was three my parents were hit by a drunk driver. I was in the car with them. I was in a coma for 3 weeks. The state was going to pull the plug but, my brother made them wait. It used all the money that our parents left us. We were adopted by this couple that lived in Tulsa." I said with tears in my eyes.
I started to remember that fatal night.
My parents and I went on a vacation when my brother was at a sleep away camp. We were on our way home. We stopped at a right light at an intersection. The light turned green and I say lights. I thought they were shooting stars.
"Daddy looks at the shooting stars!" I said excited.
My dad looked and tried to stop but it was too late. The car rammed into us and I jolted out the windshield with my parents. We landed next to each other. I will always remember what they said.
"Sweet heart, we will always love you and watch out for you, okay?" My dad said with tears in his eyes and pain in his voice.
"No! Daddy don't leave me! Mommy wake him up."I screamed.
"Honey we will always love you and we will see you soon. We will love you and your brother forever." My mother said calmly but there was pain in her eyes. The next second hear eyes where emotionless. I cried until paramedics came and I blacked out. They say that when I was in a coma I talked about my parents and brother. I don't remember what happened in my dream.
I as awaken from my flashback when Pony hugged me. Almost immediately his shirt was drenched in tears.
"Pony, why is your shirt wet?" I said confused.
"You're crying silly." He said amused and filled with sadness at the same time.
I noticed he also let a tear slip but I didn't say anything. I started to get drowsy and said I wanted to go down stairs.
"You sure about that, you look like you're about to pass out.'' He said worried.
"I'll be fine" I said holding back a yawn.
I was halfway down the step when I passed out a started to fall backwards.
