When It Use To Be Simple

Chapter 6:
Ponyboy
Soda drove twice as fast as he usually does. We pulled into Jaedyn's driveway in a record breaking three minutes!
There were already several police cruisers there.
"Oh no. Oh o. Oh no." Soda muttered as he ducked underneath the yellow police tape stuff that said, 'police line do not cross.' A police officer came over to us before we could reach the steps.
"Excuse me. You're not allowed back here. Can't you read?" he asked none to politely.
"My best friend lives here." Soda said, "What happened?"
"I can't tell you anything right now, except that your friend is at St. Aleck Memorial Hospital."
"Is he okay?" Soda asked, his eyes were pleading for more information.
"I don't know. It doesn't look good. you'll have to go to the hospital to find out more."
Soda nodded as he blinked back tears. He turned towards the truck, and Darry stopped him before he got into the driver's seat.
"Maybe I should drive, little buddy." Darry said gently.
Soda didn't argue. He got into the truck silently and fifteen minutes later we were walking into the hospital. Soda had been silent the whole way.
When we got to the secretary's desk, she looked at us as though we were scum. Until she saw Soda.
"May I help you?" asked the forty-some year old lady as she batted her eyelashes at my brother.
Two-Bit snickered as quietly as he could muster.
"I'm here about my friend and his little brother."
"What are their names, sugar?"
"Jaedyn and Dakota Marchant." Soda looked directly into the secretary's eyes. No one could lie to such an adorable face, and Soda knew it.
At the mention of Jaedyn and Dakota's names, the secretary paled.
