Hello again and welcome to Unexpected One! I hope you like it please enjoy and PLEASE REVIEW! Disclaimer: I don't own The Outsiders.
Emma's POV*
Dally and I drove to the hospital. We went into the waiting room and saw that the others were already there. Soda stood up and walked over to me. "Emma, how are you?"
"I could be better." I responded. "Just...worried."
"I know how you feel." Soda told me.
"With your parents?" I whispered to him. He just nodded at me. I turned to the rest of the gang. "I actually thought you guys would be with Sophie right now."
Ponyboy said, "We were waiting for you."
I nodded and went over to the secretary's desk. "How can I help you?" She asked.
"I'm looking for Sophie Manchester." I told her.
The secretary looked at me. "Room 213 on the 3rd floor." I nodded.
I walked back to the others. "Come on." I said now walking towards the elevator. We all got into the elevator and rode quietly up to the 3rd floor. We exited the elevator and spent about 5 minutes looking for room 213 until we found it. We all walked into her room and I walked over to her side. "Hey little sis. We miss you" I said quietly.
Two-Bit came up next to me and said, "yea, we miss you kid. And the cooking fails you tell us about Emma." I rolled my eyes and playfully smacked Two-Bit in the arm. Just then, Dr. Jordan came in.
"Mrs. Manchester?" The doctor asked.
"My mom's not here, she's working." I told the doctor.
"Then can I talk to you about Sophie?" The doctor asked again.
"Um, yea sure." I said following the doctor into a private room. He sat at one end of the desk while I sat at the other.
"Well, you know the injuries that your sister has." The doctor said and I nodded. "Sophie's condition is actually getting worse."
"What do you mean 'getting worse'?" I asked him shaking a little.
"It turns out that one of Sophie's ribs punctured her lung. We rushed her into surgery to stabilize her. But we lost her for a few minutes on the operating table, but we started her heart again." The doctor is explaining to me. I gasped at her condition.
"Will she be all right?" I asked a little scared.
"Honestly Ms. Manchester, I'm not sure. There is a chance that she could flatline again and there is an 75% chance that she could go comatose." The doctor told me.
I felt tears come out of my eyes. "Can I go?" I asked. He nodded at me and I walked out of the room back towards the gang. When I got back to the room, I told the guys everything the doctors told me. When I told them, everyone was staring at me in disbelief.
"Are you- are you serious?" Ponyboy asked. I nodded my head slowly. I then heard a knock on the door.
Dally walked towards the door. "Tim, what are you doing here."
"Just checking up on my two favorite greaser girls." Tim told Dally in an upset voice.
"Are those tears I see in Tim Shepard's eyes." Two-Bit joked walking up to him.
"Shut it Two-Bit." Tim warned and Two-Bit backed off.
"Emma, how's your sister?" Tim asked approaching Emma.
"Not good. There's a chance she could go into a coma." I told Tim, not letting my eyes leave my sister's unmoving body.
"Shit." Tim mumbled under his breath. "Those Socs have gone too far." Tim said storming to the door. "When I find out who did this, I'll kill him." Tim had anger and hate in his eyes.
"I know who it was, I was there." Emma told Tim who immediately looked at me.
"Who." Tim commanded.
"It was Bob's gang, but Eric did this." I said motioning to my sister.
Tim clenched his jaw shut and stormed out of the door. "I'll find that bastard." Tim muttered to himself but loud enough for all of us to hear before he left. Tim wasn't even out the door when I heard a sound I would dread. Sophie's heart monitor.
"She's flatlining!" I heard a doctor yell to the nurses as doctors and nurses all ran into Sophie's hospital room.
"I'm sorry but you all need to leave." a nurse was trying to usher all 9 of us out.
I ignored her. "No Sophie!" I was crying by Sophie's side. Dally then grabbed my arm gently and pulled me out of the room. I was sobbing into his chest.
"Never thought O'l Dal could get a broad after Sylvia." Tim muttered to Two-Bit.
"Yea Emma changed him for the better." Two-Bit told Tim, with Two-Bit's humor gone.
Doctor's POV*
"She's flatlining!" I yelled as I ran down the hall with the nurses all behind me. The nurses eventually got all 9 of the greasers out of the room. "Get the crash cart!" I yelled to no one in particular.
"Set at 100." the nurse said.
I nodded. "3..2..1, clear." I shouted as I am trying to restart Sophie's heart; nothing.
"Set to 200." The nurse said.
"3..2..1, clear!" I yelled as I once again put the paddles to Sophie's chest. "Set to 400." I yelled at the nurses. They nodded to me. "3..2..1 clear!" I again put the paddles to Sophie's chest. After a few seconds, I heard the sound of Sophie's heart monitor. I sighed and put the paddles away. After we stabilized Sophie, i went outside to talk to her family.
"So?" Emma asked me as soon as I stepped out of the room.
"We got Emma's heart beating again, but she slipped into comatose. I'm sorry." I said walking back towards my office.
Emma's POV*
I felt tears come out of my eyes but I quickly wiped then away. I then walked back into Sophie's room, with the others following. I pulled up a chair and sat next to Sophie's bed. Tim, Darry, Sodapop, and Ponyboy were leaning up against the wall. Steve, Johnny, and Two-Bit were sitting up against the wall, and Dally was kneeling next to me holding my free hand.
"Emma, she's alive." Dally said trying to reassure me.
"But she's not awake!" I snapped. I widened my eyes as I realized what I just did. The others were staring at me too. "I'm sorry." I whispered to Dally. "I'm just worried."
Dally flashed a grin at me. "Don't be sorry, I'm not blaming you." I let out a small smile.
"Don't worry. Sophie will be avenged at the rumble." Tim also reassured me.
"Tim, can you promise me something?" I asked looking at him.
Tim cocked an eyebrow at he which almost made me laugh. "Depends."
I looked back at Sophie. "Make sure you kick the Soc's sorry butts tonight."
"We all will." Steve said standing up. "No one messes with a greaser." It was now 5 pm. I stood up.
"I'm going to the diner to get some food, you guys want anything?" I asked standing up.
"We all should eat before the rumble." Darry said standing up. "We all can go to the diner. Is that ok Emma?" Darry asked.
"Well, I should get out of this room for a change." I said, shrugging my shoulders. I walked over to Sophie and kissed her on the forehead. "I'll be back soon." All 9 of us then began walking towards the diner.
We then walked to the diner and went to where we would usually eat. We all sat down at the two booths and waited for the waitress. We were all talking about the rumble when this man walked up to us. We all looked at him. Most of us didn't recognize who he was, but Johnny, Ponyboy, Steve, Two-Bit, and I recognized him as our principle. "Uh, hey Mr. Stark." I said nervously and I looked back at Dally who looked at me confused. 'Principle' I mouth back to him. Dally was trying to hold back a laugh. I glared at Dally for a second.
'You 5 are in serious trouble." Mr. Stark crossed his arms.
Steve scoffed. 'Why?"
"You five have missed the past 2 weeks of school." Mr. Stark almost yelled.
"And…" Two-Bit waited for him to continue.
"And if you don't come back on Monday, I will hold you back a grade and Keith will be expelled due to the fact that he is 19." Mr. Stark told us.
"Expelled! I can't get expelled!" Two-Bit almost yelled.
"If you don't come back on Monday, then you will be Mr. Matthews." Mr. Stark said walking away. Two-bit sat back down huffing.
"Guess we have to go to school on Monday." Johnny said.
" I guess." Ponyboy said.
"I hate school." I said.
"I think everyone does kid." Steve said. After we all quieted down after the principle incident, the waitress finally came over chuckling a little bit.
"Watch it Marcia." I growled at her.
"What can I get you to drink." Marcia said ignoring me.
Tim spoke up. "9 pepsis." Marcia nodded and walked away.. Tim looked at me. "How do you know that Soc?"
I looked at Tim. "She served us the last two times." I told him. Just then, Curly and Angela burst through the door.
"Tim! We have to go!" Curly yelled.
"Why?" Tim asked crossing his arms.
Angela was panting. 'Something to do with the Brumly Boys."
Tim groaned and got up. "I'll see you guys at the rumble."
Marcia then delivered the pepsis to us when the 3 Shepard kids left the diner. We all ordered burgers an d fries and ate in silence. Darry and I paid then we finally walked towards the lot. "Pony, Soda. If the fuzz show, you two need to beat it out of there, got it." Soda and pony nodded. "Emma, go back to our house and lock the front and back door." I nodded and we all went our separate ways.
I finally got back to the Curtis' house. I opened up the gate and went inside the house. The first thing I did was to lock the doors. I then turned on the T.V and went to get some cake. I cut a bite and set it on a plate. I walked back towards the couch and ate the cake. "Soda's cake." I mumbled to myself. "He adds too much sugar."
Dally's POV*
All 7 of us approached the vacant lot where we joined the Shepard Outfit and the Brumly Boys. Tim approached Darry and shook his hand. "Darry."
"Tim." Darry said, shaking Tim's hand.
I walked to Tim. "What did the Brumly Boys do?"
"Picked a fight with a few members of my gang." Tim said pointing to a small group of the Brumly members. I nodded his head.
"What weapons are allowed?" Ponyboy asked.
Tim looked at Pony and said, "the usual; blades and other objects found lying around." Ponyboy nodded.
I turned my attention to the two youngest members of the gang. "Ponyboy, Johnny, stay close to me; if you get in a jam, holler and I'll get you out."
"Ok Dal." Johnny said and Pony just nodded his head.
"Speak of the devil." Ponyboy said pulling out his switchblade.
I then heard the Socs coming up yelling 'greasers'! All of us greasers either pulled out a blade or they had a busted beer bottle. The Socs climbed out of their cars and had the same things in their hands.
"Who's starting?" Johnny whispered to Ponyboy. Ponyboy just shrugged his shoulders. Eric then stood forward (Eric was the one who choked Sophie) and said, "I'll take anyone." Tim's eyes then shone with anger. Tim looked at Darry who motioned him forward. Tim nodded his head and walked toward Eric. Eric and Tim were now less than an arm length away from each other.
"What pleasure is it to fight the leader of the Shepard Outfit." Eric joked.
"I only start when someone seriously hurts someone I care about." Tim growled.
Eric only laughed. "Wait you mean the one in a coma!"
Tim's eyes brightly shone with anger towards Eric. "How do you know about that."
"I have eyes and ears everywhere." Eric said while crossing his arms.
Tim then heard something run across the street towards the lot. Tim looked over his shoulder and surprisingly, saw a blonde wolf join the greasers side. The wolf let out a threatening growl at the socs. That distraction was the one that caused Eric to punch Tim in the face, who happily punch back, and the rumble has started. Tim then reached into his back pocket and pulled out his switchblade and attempted to swipe at Eric and successfully got him in the arm.
Autumn's POV* 2nd person
"The guys shouldn't be doing this alone." I thought to myself. I then smirked and set the cake down in the kitchen and opened the front door. I transformed into my blonde wolf form and took off down the road to the vacant lot. When I got there Tim and Eric were talking. "I know who's starting." I thought to myself. I then ran up to the greasers and stood next to Dally and I let out a threatening growl at the socs.
'What are you doing here!" Dally whisper-screamed.
"Fighting for my sister." Autumn growled.
"You promised that you wouldn't come." Dally said to me.
"Yea, well deal's off." She growled at him. Dally sighed but before anyone could do anything, Eric punched Tim in the face which started the rumble. Autumn then ran up to a soc who didn't look that strong. She snarled at him and jumped on him causing him to fall down. Autumn was standing on his chest and growling dangerously close to his face. She then dug my claws into his chest making the soc scream out in pain. She was then hit in the side with a rock. Autumn then scratched the soc's neck and jumped off of him. She then stalked towards the soc who hit me with a rock. He kept on throwing rocks at me and Autumn dodged them all. The soc then pulled out his switchblade and threw it at her. In slow-mo, Autumn transformed back into her human form, grabbed the blade from the air, and threw it straight into the soc's shoulder. He fell back to the ground screaming in pain. She transformed back into her wolf form and ran back to the greaser side to try and help someone else. She then saw Steve trying to fight off two socs who both had switchblades. Steve didn't look too good. She thought he was about to pass out. Autumn ran up to the two socs, let out a blood curdling howl and attacked one of the socs, bringing his to the ground instantly. She also knocked the blade out of his hand. She helped Steve force back the two socs.
"Emma?" Steve asked looking at me.
Autumn nodded her head and howled. Steve just chuckled at me.
"Look at them run!" I heard Two-Bit yell.
"Get outta here!" I heard someone else yell.
Autumn transformed back into my human form and yelled, "we won!" All 8 of us all hung out in a group for a few minutes thanking the others gangs who came to help.
Emma's POV*
"Emma, when did you get here?" Tim asked limping over to me. I helped steadying him and said, "I arrived right when you got punched by Eric."
Tim smirked at me. "I beat him though."
I rolled my eyes at him. "I saw."
Curly and Angela arrived and helped Tim while I walked back to the others.
"Emma why are you here?" Soda asked.
I stiffled a laugh. "I can't actually believe that you guys thought that I wouldn't have joined the fight."
Dally crossed his arms. "Yea but why in wolf form?"
I once again shrugged my shoulders. "So I could get here quicker...and because it's more intimidating."
I then turned my attention to Steve who was swaying in his spot. 'Steve? You ok buddy?"
He didn't answer me, instead, he passed out and fell to the ground. 'Steve!" Soda yelled running to his best friend.
"Lets get back to the house." Darry said as he hoisted Steve onto his back. All 8 of us then walked back to the Curtis' house. We laid Steve on the couch to see the extent of damage done to him. Steve has a mild concussion, busted ribs, and a bloody arm from a switchblade. She rest of us weren't that bad. All of us had busted knuckles and lots of cuts and bruises. Soda, Two-Bit, Dally, and Ponyboy all had a split lip. Johnny and Ponyboy had a couple of bruised ribs, and my hair had some blood specks in it, and couple of bruises and cuts and a switchblade cut on my thigh. Nothing that peroxide won't fix.
I ran into the bathroom and grabbed the medical kit. I then wrapped all of the injuries in gause and peroxide the best I could. But Steve's injuries were more hard to treat. I had to take off his bloody shirt to see the damage done. His whole stomach was covered in black and blue bruises. I then poured peroxide on all of his cuts and stitched up the deeper ones. I then had Soda fetch an ice pack from the freezer. He gave it to me and I set it on Steve's side to help with his broken ribs. I then sat on the floor leaning up against the couch. We all didn't eat anything and we were all staying up until Steve woke up.
It was around 2 in the morning when I heard a low moan. I sat up from Dally's shoulder and went to check on Steve, and sure enough he was awake. I motioned for him to be quiet. I then placed a hand on his shoulder and helped his lay back down. "How bad?" Steve asked quietly.
"Pretty bad. Mild concussion, 3 broken ribs, and lots of cuts and bruises, I also had to stitch up a few deeper cuts." I said motioning to his body. Steve once again winced in pain. "Try to go back to sleep." I said walking back to Dally. Steve surprisingly listened to me and went back to sleep. I woke up again around 8 and went to the kitchen to find Soda making breakfast. I mentally rolled my eyes when I saw the food coloring. "What's for breakfast?" I asked walked towards Soda.
Soda grinned at me and said, "purple eggs and green bacon."
I rolled my eyes and said, "I'm hiding the food coloring tomorrow."
Soda knew I was joking and whined, "no, please don't." I smirked at him and walked away.
"Breakfast!" Soda yelled waking up the whole house. I heard many sleepy groans and people walking to the family room. I laughed quietly and walked back towards the family room where Dally was still asleep. I smirked on how I got an idea to wake him up, but I needed Two-Bit's help, and he quickly agreed to help. I filled a cup of Ice cold water and gave it to Two-Bit. Darry then came into the living room but stopped at the sight of me, Two-Bit, and a sleeping Dally. Darry then rolled his eyes and walked away and come back with one of his shirts and jeans for Dally. Two-Bit was trying not to laugh. By this time, the other 5 were in the doorway waiting for Dally's reaction. Two-Bit then threw the water on, Dally waking him up instantly.
Dally's eyes flew open and he jumped up and glared at Two-Bit, as all 7 of us were laughing hysterically, but Dally was glaring at Two-Bit. "I'm gonna kill you Matthews."
"Don't kill me, it was your girlfriend's idea." Two-Bit laughed, pointing to me. I then smiled innocently at Dally as he looked amused at me. Dally then walked up to me and began chasing me throughout the house. He then caught me again in the living room and began to tickle me.
"Dally pl-please st-stop-p!" I said through laughs. Dally just smirked at me and continued tickling me. I continued laughing as Dally finally let up and let me get up. I was panting and Darry handed a dry pair of clothes to Dally to change into. When Dally came back, we all headed to the kitchen to eat purple eggs and green bacon.
"Emma did you hear anything about Sophie?" Ponyboy asked.
"Yea, um my mom said she's actually getting better, but not anywhere close to waking up." I told him.
"The good news is that she's getting better." Darry said while taking his plate to the kitchen.
"Yea, but it could be months before she wakes up." I pointed out. "Steve, how are your ribs?" I asked changing the topic.
"Yea, you scared me pretty bad for a couple of minutes buddy. Hell, you scared all of us." Soda said patting Steve's back.
"Yea um, still hurts, but the ice helps." Steve told me.
"That's good. Do you think you'll be fine to go to school tomorrow?" I ask.
"I have to." Steve pointed out. I shrugged my shoulders. I then stood up. "I should get home." I walked to the door and said goodbye.
As I continued walking, the houses kept on getting nicer and nicer as I walked towards my house. When I got home, the front door was open. "My mom never leaves the door open." I muttered to myself. I walked through the front door and turned on the light, it looked like a tornado blew through the place, and I was getting a little freaked out. "Mom?" I called out, but no response. I walked into the kitchen and stepped in something red and sticky, blood. A single tear came out of my eye that I quickly wiped away as I got a whole lot more scared, so I pulled out my switchblade. I then walked to the family room where I saw something on the wall that said, "I warned Sophie..." There was also an arrow pointing at the ground, but under the arrow was something on the ground. My mother, dead on the ground. I freaked out and ran back to the kitchen. I dialed the Curtis' phone number. "Please pick up." I mumbled to myself. After a few rings, I heard Darry's voice on the other side. "Darry! Something happened! Can you please get over here, I'm freaking out!" I shouted really scared. Darry asked what happened. "It's my mom!" Darry said to hang on and wait for them to get there. I quickly said ok and called 9-1-1, then I ran outside onto the porch, waiting for the gang to get here. I only had one suspect on my list...Jack and the White Tigers.
