Sonny sat on the stairs of the school alone. He felt arms wraping around his neck. A soft kiss on his cheek. He turned his head to see Marty's chin rested on his shoulder.
"Marty!" He turned around and hugged her tight. "You didn't tell me you were gettin' out."
"I didn't know." Marty giggled. Sonny kissed her forehead and hugged her tight.
"Marty!" Frenchy yelled, running up to them. She jumped onto Marty and Sonny and hugged them both. "Marty, this is awesome! Why didn't you tell me you were getting out."
"I didn't know, hey, was Putz alright yesterday?" She asked looking at Putzie slowly walking up to the school. Frenchy shook her head. Putzie walked up the stairs and Marty hugged him tight.
"It's all ok." She whispered rubbing his back. He hugged her back tight.
"Hey Marty," Kenickie said jumping up the steps. He hugged her tight.
"We gotta get to class guys," Frenchy said. She wrapped her arm around Marty's back and Marty did the same to hers. They walked down the hall to there classroom, Putzie trailing behind them.
"Putzie!" Marty yelled to him,"Get over here!" Putzie jogged over to them and Frenchy put her free arm around them.
They all went through there day. Putzie refused to talk, they all tried but it didn't work. They went through there day normally. Then they got to lunch. Putzie's eyes were red and puffy. Frenchy and Marty fretted over him.
"Hey, Putz, come here!" It was Kenickie. He walked over to Sonny and Kenickie, Frenchy and Marty followed. He sat down and the rest of the gang talked. "You're going to the hospital after school, right Marty." Marty nodded.
"You guys know you don't have to come see Katie right?" Kenickie said.
"Kenickie, we wanna go!" Frenchy said giggling. They spent there lunch talking about everything.
They made it through the rest of there day slowly. Kenickie met up with Putzie at the end of the day like always. They walked home, Kenickie trying to get Putzie to talk.
They went to Putzie's house and watched tv for a half an hour. Kenickie stood up to go outside and wait for the bus,"No," Putzie said grabbing Kenickie's arm,"I wanna get her." Putzie stood up and walked outside.
"Putzie!" Katie yelled. He squatted down and picked her up.
"Hey princess, did you pratice for your play today?" Putzie asked.
"Yeah! It was fun!" Katie smiled at him. He smiled back at her. Kenickie and Putzie's mom came out and got into the car. Putzie carried her into the car and sat her down.
"Hey Katie, guess who left the hospital!" Kenickie said before kissing her head. Katie looked up at him,"Marty!"
"Yay!" Katie said smiling up at Kenickie and Putzie. Kenickie smiled down at her and rubbed her head. They sat silent all the way to the hospital.
They walked into Sandy's room first. Putzie sat down by the window. He leaned his head aganist the glass. Danny wheeled himself over to Putzie.
"Hey Putz, guess what," Putzie looked up sadly at Danny,"I'm havin' a surgery tomorrow and I'm getting out of this cast." He said signaling towards his leg. Putzie nodded and put his head back on the window.
Tears started falling from his eyes, 'That's how Jan died', he thought to himself. Danny scooted closer to him. "Putz, what's wrong?" Putzie shook his head.
"Putzie, come here." Sandy said softly. He walked over and sat down on the side of the bed. "You alright?" He shook his head again. She wiped tears from his eyes. She kissed his head and hugged him.
"Hey, we gotta go see Rizz alright." Sandy and Danny nodded, they all said goodbyes and Katie jumped on Putzie's back. He carried her down to Rizzo's room. Frenchy, Sonny, and Marty were all sitting in there. Putzie again sat down by the window.
He was still slightly crying. "Hey Putz," Rizzo said,"I don't get a hug?" Putzie stood up and hugged her. "Guess what," Putzie didn't respond,"I'm gettin' out of here tomorrow." She smiled at him and Putzie didn't respond.
Putzie sat back down and laid his head at the window.
"What's wrong Putz?" Frenchy asked hugging his neck.
"Just sad," Putzie mumbled. Frenchy sat down next to him and put an arm around him. The rest of the gang talked, Danny rolled himself into Rizzo's room and told everyone about his surgery.
One by one everyone left, the last people there were Putzie, Katie, Kenickie, and obviously Rizzo. Rizzo was holding a sleeping Katie.
"You feel ok Putz?" Rizzo asked. He just shook his head and Kenickie hugged him tight. Katie woke up and jumped onto Kenickie's back. Putzie's mom came in and they left. Putzie stayed silent the whole time, now he had to worry about Danny.
Like it? Thanks for everything guys!
