Woot another chapter!!! I'm updating quick on this one! (don't get used to it guys because this isn't going to happen very often!) I own all the people you don't really read about in the book...so Read and Reiview!
Chapter 3-
Ponyboy woke up, to a not much different scene. Darry was talking to Patricia at the front desk, Miss Mathews was reading an outdated magazine, and Tiffany was just staring at the ground.
"Any more news about Two-Bit?" asked Ponyboy, stretching.
"Not yet." Said Miss Mathews.
Then Steve and Sodapop arrived. It looked like they had come right from work. They were both in their work uniforms still, and Soda had some grease on his hands and face.
"What's going on?" asked Steve. "Is Two-Bit all right?"
"We're not sure yet." Said Darry. "We're just waiting for Dr. Banks to come and give us some news."
"Is there a bathroom, I really need to get all this grease off of me." Said Sodapop. "We only just got of our shift!"
"Oh yes, down this hall and to your left." Said Patricia.
"Thanks." Said Soda, walking out of the room.
"Hey Tiffany." Said Steve.
"Hello Steve." Said Tiffany, not taking her eyes off the floor.
Tiffany had acted the same way when Johnny and Dally were in the hospital. She seemed so sad.
Then doctor Banks came into the waiting room.
"Is he all right?" said Miss Mathews, jumping to her feet, and running over to him.
"Well…we think all of the alcohol is out of his blood, but-" said Doctor Banks
"But what?!" said Tiffany, getting to her feet and standing next to her mother's side.
"We'll he's in a coma, and were not exactly sure how long he might be in it." Said Doctor Banks.
"What?" said Miss Mathews, she began to cry.
"But some people do come out of them." Said Doctor Banks rather hopefully.
Sodapop came back into the waiting room. He looked over at Dr. Banks and Miss Mathew.
"Is he all right?" he asked.
"He's in a coma." Said Doctor Banks. "You can come and see him, but only three at a time."
"Okay." Said Miss Mathews. "Tiffany and I will go…and Ponyboy would you like to come?"
Ponyboy was surprised that Miss Mathews wanted him to go and see Two-Bit with the family.
"Are you sure you want me to-" asked Ponyboy.
"Of course we do." Said Tiffany. "Come on lets go."
Dr. Banks lead the three down the hallway and into a familiar room. Room 113.
NO! Not this room. It can't be! Thought Ponyboy.
"Is something wrong Pony?" asked Tiffany looking over at Ponyboy. Ponyboy turned very pale, but he shook his head no, and walked into the room.
The room was like all hospital rooms, dull and boring, but it seemed even more depressing to have Two-Bit in there, with out his smile, and his laughing eyes.
"Okay so here is Keith, he can't-" said Dr. Banks.
"Two-Bit!" said Tiffany.
"I beg your pardon?" asked Dr. Banks.
"It's Two-Bit, not Keith! He hates that name!" said Tiffany.
"Oh, ummm, right." Said Dr. Banks who seemed rather taken aback. "Okay so here's Keith, I mean Two-Bit. He can't hear anything you say though."
"But it's worth a try!" said Tiffany, going over to her brother's side and kneeling down next to him. Miss Mathews followed.
Ponyboy just stood there in the middle of the room. He didn't want to be there, not for another second.
"P-P-Ponyboy, you c-c-can come over." Sobbed Miss Mathews.
"Johnny." Whispered Ponyboy.
"What?" asked Tiffany, tears streaming down her face.
"Johnny, this…this was Johnny's hospital room." Said Ponyboy.
"Are y-y-you sure?" cried Miss Mathews.
"113." Said Ponyboy. "I have to go."
Ponyboy left the room, but Tiffany grabbed his hand.
"Please Ponyboy, don't go, I want you to be here and so would Johnny." Said Tiffany. She didn't have the crying voice like her mother did. She actually sounded normal, except tears were coming out of her eyes.
Ponyboy looked down at Tiffany, and almost said no, but agreed to come back into the room.
Miss Mathews was bawling her eyes out, onto Two-Bit's bed. Tiffany put her arm around her weeping mother and started to cry too. Ponyboy watched the two, not knowing what to do. It felt so awkward, sitting there watching two people crying over Two-Bit's body.
He's going to be all right. Thought Ponyboy. He's just gotta! We can't loose another person, not again.
