Chapter 7

(Soda's POV)

It's been a few hours since the operation. I can barely keep my eyes open for more than ten minutes. The doctors took me off most of my medication so I just have to take four or five different pills. They're watching me like a hawk to see if I'm going to have another allergic reaction or something. The nurses told me that my immune system would be down for a couple of days because of the allergic reaction. Which means that I'm going to be able to get sick easier…great. I have to stay here until everything returns to normal. I want to go home so bad. I hate it here, I feel so helpless. I can't do anything by myself, I can't even take a shower. Golly, I hate that. I can't sleep right either. When I wake up I still feel tired, it's like I stayed out partying all night then going to work on no sleep. I just want to leave.

I close my eyes and go back to sleep.

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O

"Soda…" said a voice ringing through the darkness of my dream, "Hey Sodapop."

I open my eyes to see my best buddy Steve standing over me.

"Hey Steve." I gave him one of my famous grins, "How's it goin'?"

"Fine Soda." he answered smiling and laughing lightly, "And you?"

"A little tired." the side that had stitches gave a sharp stab of pain along with my other injuries from before. "And a bit sore." I closed my eyes then opened them once the pain was gone. "How's Darry doing?"

"Fine, he's home with Pony." said Steve, "Two-bit drove 'em. He was going to try to come visit you after Darry was set at home. They tried to come see you before they left but, you were sleeping."

"Okay." I said, "Golly, I just want to leave here. I'm tired of bein' trapped in here. If my ankle wasn't still busted I'd walk right out of here." I felt my chest tighten and my eyes get blurry with tears. I just pushed them back. I had no reason to start crying… not any more. I've noticed that I have changed, it's kind of scary. "They're controlling me. I can't do what I want to anymore. It's like I'm a helpless baby. I can't even see the people I want because of the huge chance of getting sick from the germs they can give me."

"Did they tell you when you can leave?" asked Steve.

"At the end of the week I think." I sighed and my side gave another painful stab. I could feel my eyelids getting heavy with sleep.

"Well that's not a long wait." smiled Steve, "Well I should get goin' Sodapop."

"Alright." I said with my eyes barely open, "Tell Darry that as soon as he can to come see me?"

"Sure. Get better buddy." said Steve, "I'll come see ya tomorrow after work or during my lunch if I can."

"Okay." I fell asleep as soon as he closed the door.

I'm sorry that this chapter. I'll try my best to make the next one longer. Please R&R!!
