Ponyboy laid in the hospital bed hooked up with several machines next to him. You could see many cuts and bruises around his face and arms. You could also see blood in gauze on the back of his head. He had an IV in his right arm inserting pain medications. But the worst thing was the tube in his mouth going down his throat to help clean out his lungs and help him breath. If it wasn't the beeping from the heart machine you would have thought he was dead.
Darry and Sodapop went and sat down in the chairs next to the bed each grabbing on of Pony's hands with Darry on the left and Soda on the right. Darry kept thinking about what he had told Ponyboy last night.
"I thought we lost you like we did Mom and Dad."
Now in seemed like they might actually be losing him.
Two-bit, Steve, and Dallas all quietly left the room telling them that they would be back in the morning.
