Chapter 8 is here. Hope you enjoy,

Fyi remember this is a song-fic, but you don't need to know the song to know the story.

Soda POV

That phone call took way longer then I thought it would. As soon as the call was about to be done, they said that an ambulance was on the way.

I hung up the phone and ran out the door.

I didn't know that the amount of time that phone call took would cost my brother's life.

Darry POV

After a few minutes, Two-bit and I just sat there, and cradled my younger brother, who had just died right in front of us a few minutes ago. He still had a little warmth in his body, but he wasn't breathing, and his heart wasn't beating, and it wasn't much warmth. It was just there because he was alive a few minutes ago.

I was sobbing now. Every now and then I would say, "I'm so sorry."

That and Two-bit and I sobbing we're the only real things breaking the silence. We heard a siren, but it was still pretty far off.

I put one arm underneath Ponyboy's legs, and since my other one was already under his back, I picked him up, and Two-bit stood up as I did so.

I started yelling at the ambulance, "Please, hurry up!" Not sure if they could hear me, but I just couldn't bear to see my youngest brother like this. He was still limp and very pale.

"Darry... " I turned and looked to see Two-bit looking between me and Ponyboy. He had more tears in his eyes.

After a few seconds, we saw the lights from the ambulance as it pulled up and stopped next to us on the side of the street.

Three men came out of the back of the ambulance. One of them came over to me and took Ponyboy out of my arma as the other two took out a stretcher. They put him on it and two of them put him in the ambulance while the third one said we had to follow in our own vehicle. We agreed as he climbed into the back of the ambulance, and the doors slammed shut.

That's when Soda just came over. I ran back to the house, with Soda and Two-bit following me, and got into the truck.

We were off to the hospital, to hear the news, that was yet to come.
