Darry turned and looked at me. "Who was that on the phone?" I asked Darry. "It was the hospital," Darry said slowly. "Is everyone okay?" I asked worriedly. "Yeah they are," Darry answered. "Then what did they want?" I asked. "They called and asked to come by and pickup Johnny Cade," Darry said a little confused. "I thought he was dead," I stated. "Well apparently he did not die," Darry said. "You coming with me?" Darry asked. "Yeah," I exclaimed. We got into the truck and drove to the DX.
"Come on, Soda, you need to come with us right now," Darry said, pulling in to the the parking lot. Soda jumped inside. Darry told told him the story on the way to the hospital. Soda looked just as shocked as me and Darry had been. We pulled into the hospital parking lot and got out kinda slowly. When we walked in the nurse showed us to Johnny's room.
Johnny's room door was closed. We all just stood there silently. Then Soda and Darry looked at each other, then at me. "Go on in, Pony you need to go and talk to Johnny," Darry said pushing me inside and closing the door behind me.
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath before reopening my eyes. I slowly walked over to the bed that was on the other side of the room.
"Pony?" I heard a soft voice say. "Is that really you, Johnny?" I asked. "Yeah man, its really me, man. Come on over here," Johnny said. I walked over to the bed and looked at Johnny. It was really him."How ya been, man?" Johnny asked. "Huh? Oh, I'm fine. What about you?" I asked. "Just fine," Johnny said with a grin.
asked. "I was not dead like you thought," he answered. "I'm so glad you're okay," I said. "You ready to get out of the hospital?" I asked Johnny. "I sure am," he said happily. "Did Darry and Soda come with ya?" he
asked. "Yep, they sure did," I replied.
"You know you're being released to Darry?" I asked. "Yeah, they asked me who I wanted to be released to," he responded. "Isn't that up to your parents?" I asked Johnny. "It would be if they did not get taken to jail for childabuse," he replied. "They got put in jail for real?" I asked. "They sure did," he answered with a proud grin.
"I can't believe it," I said, shocked.
"Hey, Johnny Cade," my brothers greeted Johnny. "Hey, guys," Johnny greeted back. "You ready to leave?" Darry asked. Right then a doctor came in pushing a wheel chair. "You ready to go, Johnny?" he asked. "Sure am," he exclaimed.
The doctor and Darry helped Johnny into the wheelchair. Then Darry had to sign a couple of papers. Then we were finally able to leave. Soda pushed Johnny to the truck and I walked next to Darry. "You okay?" he asked. "Yeah, just happy and relieved about Johnny," I said. We loaded in to the truck. Johnny sat next to me in the truck. Me and Johnny were laughing and talking all the way home.Ok, I think that's about right. It wasn't terribly short. Being long isn't everything. Just take your time.
