~Chapter 34~

Popo

Soda P.O.V

Two-Bit was standing behind Joey.

My jaw dropped and Joey fell to the ground dead, and Ash gasped and hid her face in my shoulder. Two-Bit fell next, and Darry suddenly appeared behind us, and he rushed to Two's side. We were frozen there, not believing what had happened, and Darry looked up at us. "Soda, give me a piece of your shirt!" he yelled, and I snapped out of it and ripped off a piece of my shirt and gave it to him quickly. Ash followed me over to Two-Bit, and Darry wrapped the cloth around his waist, and Ash was about crying now. I didn't know what to do,help Darry with Two-Bit, or comfort my fiancée. Pony and Johnny suddenly appeared, and they both hugged Ashley tightly, and I was grateful for them.

"Get him to the truck!"

Darry and I lifted him carefully to the truck, and he moaned a little when we set him down. "Sorry Two," I said, and noticed his eyes were starting to close. "Stay awake buddy, you gotta stay akwae okay?" I said, trying to calm myself down inside. Ash was crying now, and Pony and Johnny helped her in the truck and Darry and me hopped in and started driving. We had to be going at least 85mph on the highway, and I regretted doing this. I knew Ash did, that's why she was crying, she thought Two-Bit getting hurt was her fault. I leaned back and put a hand on her cheek. "Ashley, calm down oaky? Two-Bit will be fine, it wasn't your fault." I tried to say, and she just shook her head and laid her head on Johnny's lap, and Johnny looked like he wanted ot cry too.

"Stay calm guys, you gotta stay calm."

They both nodded and Johnny swallowed back his tears. I turned my attention to the road, and hit the dashboard when I remeberd something.

"Steve!"

Steve P.O.V

I covered Sammy's mouth as a guy walked past our bush.

We were hiding in a nearby bush, and I didn't see Sodapop anywhere. I was starting to panic, I didn't know what to do. There was Socs everywhere, and Sammy was crying now, which I didn't know how to handle. "Shh..Sammy, if you don't wanna die, please stop crying." I begged him, and he slowly stopped the tears running down his small face. I sighed, "Im sorry Sammy, I just don't know how to take care of a little kid." I explained, and he nodded. "I know, your dumb." I smiled a little at that. " I guess I deserved that." I whispered, and he smile now.

"But seriously, we gotta be super quiet okay?"

Sammy nodded and I looked out the bush again, seeing a fat guy walking around the building and start yelling something at a guy that I had fought earlier. "You let them get away?!" he yelled, and the guy backed up, a scared look on his face. "It wasn't my fault!" he yelled back, and the fat guy ran a hand over his bald head. "Well who the hell's fault was it then?" he asked, and the other guy just stood there, not having an answer. The fat guy started walking towards our bush, and I covered Sammy's mouth again. The guy lit a cigarette, and smoked it a couple of times. "Cant believe this…" he mumbled, and I wanted to yell something at him, but I knew that would be the dumbest thing I've ever done.

"Jeezz…"

He threw his cigarette in our bush, and it hit my arm, burning it a little. I bit my lip, but I was used to it by now, my old man did It all the time. Sammy's eyes got wide, but I just waited until the guy walked away to wipe it off my arm. A mark was already there, adding to my collection, and Sammy looked at me worriedly. "Didn't that hurt?" he whispered, and I shook my head. "Not anymore." I said quietly, and he just looked at me for a few seconds before looking out for more Socs.

Hurry up Soda.
