I woke up, but kept my eyes closed and just listened. I could hear
Soda and Darry talking. It seemed that he had just arrived.
"How is he? Has he woken up today?" Asked Darry
"Yeah, he was up for a bit, and the doc came and checked on him. He's still got a really bad fever the doc said his temp was 100.9."
"Wow that's pretty darn high. Did they find out what's wrong with him yet? Is it just the flu or what?"
"They still haven't told me anything. I don't think they got the results yet."
Then I heard the door open and close. "Hey guys, how's the kid?" said a voice. I chose then to open my eyes. I opened them slowly and blinked a few times before everything came into focus. I looked around. Soda and Darry were sitting beside me. Steve and Two-Bit came walking over to the other side of me and sat down at a table in the room.
"Hey guys, what's up?" I said quietly
"Pony! Your awake!" Said Soda
"No, I'm still sleeping Soda." I joked
Darry ruffled my hair up and I tried to brush it back down with my hand.
"Hey Kid, you know that's not gonna help any. I don't think you can ever get that hair to look good again!" Laughed Two-Bit
I grabbed an extra pillow from behind me a tried to throw it at him. But it didn't get to him. I was pretty weak and didn't have the energy to throw it far. Two-Bit just laughed at me. Then he pulled out a deck of cards. "Anyone want to play some Poker?" He asked
"Sure!" Said Soda, Steve, and I all together
"What about you Darry?"
"Nah, I don't feel like losing right now."
Steve helped Pull over the table to my bed so I could play too. Soda came around to the other side and sat down. Steve delt out the cards, and we began to play. The first round lasted pretty long. But in the end Two- Bit won like usual. Thinking about what play to make with my cards was giving me a headache so I decided to sit the next round out.
"I'm gonna sit this one out guys." I said
"Ok, you alright Pony?" Soda asked
"Yeah I'm fine, I just don't wanna loose to you cheaters again, that's all" I lied
"Ok have it your way." He replied and messed my hair up again.
I glared at him, but couldn't hold it and my face broke out in a smile. Then out of the blue my head erupted with pain. It hurt so badly. It felt like I was being hit with a hammer in the head over and over again. Darry looked at me and could see then pain in my face.
"Pony, what's wrong, you ok?" He asked, his voice was full of brotherly concern
I started shaking uncontrollably. Everything went black, but this time I was still conscious. My whole body was in pain. I could feel myself shaking and jolting on the bed. I could also hear voices.
"Pony! Oh my gosh, what's wrong!?!" It was Soda
"Steve go find a Doctor, quickly!" yelled Darry "Two-Bit help me hold him down!" he continued.
I heard the door slam closed. Good Steve was getting the doctor. I was so scared. My body hurt so bad, I didn't know what was wrong with me. I couldn't take it much longer. I would have cried out in pain or even screamed but I couldn't. I was no longer in control of my body. It was the most frightening thing to ever happen to me. I was trying to stay conscious though. For some reason I thought that I should. The last thing I heard was the door slam and a rush of feet come into the room. I knew it was the doctor. I felt better. I could slip away now; he could take care of things now. And once again I slipped off into more blackness.
