When It Use To Be Simple

Thank you for the great reviews! Sorry it took so long to update!!
Thank you to the person (there was no name) who said that they just stopped crying!! (LOL! That was great!)
Roxy: Yea. I think the name rocks, too (Jaedyn). Jaedyn isn't really a part of the gang (although the gang likes him, and he likes them, too). Soda is still quite close with the gang and Pony, but really close to Jaed, too. (And more so now that Dakota is gone). These questions aren't stupid, I actually appreciate them so I know the vibes you guys get, so thanks. Jaedyn would be a greaser in a rumble, because he despises the socs. like the greasers do. He gets treated like a greaser and sometimes a little worse, because the socs. think that he should be like them and get offended (or maybe jealous?) that he doesn't. I think that was all of the questions. If not, feel free to "yell" and ask them again. I'll try to answer them A.S.A.P. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!
All: Thanks again for the GREAT reviews, I just love to read them and see what you guys think. And, same goes to you all as Roxy; if you have any questions please ask!! I am sorry (again) about the long wait! I'd be right ticked with me, if I were you!
Chapter 9:
Darry
The doctor kept Jaedyn in the hospital for another week, Soda had been by his side since he woke up (after we found out he woke up, anyway). The doctor and all the rest of the gang, and even Jaedyn, had tried to convince Soda to come home and get some sleep, but he was too stubborn. He cares about Jaedyn a lot, and was hurting deeply because Dakota was gone.
Today Jaedyn was getting out, and I insisted that Jaedyn stay with us. He had accepted, but only if he wouldn't be any trouble.
Soda was bringing Jaed here now, as a matter of fact, and the rest of the gang and I were trying to tidy the place up as best as we could. Just as the place became spotless, Soda and Jaedyn walked through the door.
"Hi guys." They said, simultaneously.
"Hi." We greeted back.
"Can I get you guys anything?" Pony asked as Soda and Jaedyn sat on the couch.
"I'm good, thanks." Jaedyn smiled.
"Me, too." Soda said with a yawn.
"Soda, go to bed. You've barely gotten any sleep!" Jaedyn said with worried expression on his face.
"I'm fine. And neither have you!" Soda pointed out, and tried to stifle another yawn unsuccessfully.
"I've gotten more then you, Soda. Please get some more sleep!" Jaedyn begged and when that didn't work he added, with a puppy dog look, "For me?" Soda sighed as he got up and made his way to his room.
"So do you know when your parents are going to trial?" Dally asked.
"Yea. Tomorrow, actually. They wanted to have it soon, but they wanted to wait until I got out of the hospital. I'm a witness. Yuck." Jaed closed his eyes and leaned his head against the back of the couch, "I just want to get it over with. I want them to suffer like Dakota did. How evil is that?"
"Not evil at all." I assured, "They deserve it."
"Thank-you all for everything you've done for me. I really appreciate it. Whenever you want me out of here, seriously, just say the word and I'll be gone."
"Don't worry about it." Pony said, "We enjoy you staying here." We all nodded our agreement.
"But still, thanks."
"Anytime." Two-Bit grinned, "I think Mickey is going to be on!"
We all got quiet and turned on Mickey. Before the first set of commercials came on, Jaedyn was asleep. I smiled and got a blanket to cover him up with, then kicked Dally and Two-Bit (who were up until this point sharing the couch with him) off, and then we lay him down and put a pillow under his head.
What do you think? I am (Once again) really sorry about the long wait! I'll try to update all of my stories more often! Hope you enjoy! PLEASE keep up your great reviews, and feel free to ask questions!!
