One morning I woke up in a cold sweat. I was gasping for air, when I
scanned the room. I calmed down and looked at Ponyboy and sat at the edge
of the bed. I yawned as I looked toward the clock. Whoa I thought as I
stood up and stretched. I began to walk to a chair were I had laid out my
shirt for today. I slid the sleeves on and had the shirt cove my shoulders.
I buttoned up the shirt as I walked out to the kitchen. I patted my stomach
as it growled. I'm hungry I thought as I heard a familiar voice speak.
"Hey there Soda-pop, why you up so early bud?" Asked Darry with a slight grin.
"I had a bad dream.It scared me somethin awful" I said with a plain blank expression on my face, somewhat looking desperate for food.
"Really what about?" Asked Darry.
"I'll tell ya later, and aren't you supposed to be cooking you're the first one up." I said, now sounding desperate for food
"Sure soda.I better get started on breakfast I guess." Darry said while standing and walking to the kitchen.
"Yeah good idea Dar'" I said, while my mouth watered as I itched for some crispy bacon
"Sure. 'eh Soda-pop?.." Darry said in a questioning voice
"Need somthin Dar?" I said doing flips and cart wheeles all over the living room.
"Please don't flip in the living room... you could break somthin.. and go wake Pony....Breakfast will be ready soon...and hurry cause i gotta get to work...." Darry said facing the stove while he was cooking...
"Sure...Darry I'll get Pony...but hurry with breakfast im wasting away waiting for you to finish cooking." I said ducking his playful punch.
"Just hurry Soda-pop." He told me with a grin in his face.
I went back into me and Pony's room, Pony was layin there all spred out on the bed snoring in a low tone. I walked over to him and shook him by his shoulder. He wouldn't wake up. I began to worry and I began to shake him more violently. "Wake up Poyboy." I said shaking him as hard as I could. I looked closer and he was bleeding from his mouth, and he wasn't snoring he was gasping for air.
"DARRY!!!" I yelled with a sign of distress in my voice.
"What's wrong, what happened?!" Darry yelled as he ran into the room.
"It's Pony he's bleedin from the mouth. And he's gaspin for air!!" I said almost bawling. But I held back, cause I knew Pony wouldn't have liked that.
"How did this happen!!!" Darry yelled in a panic
"If I knew i would have said something..." I said about to tear my hair out.
At that moment there was a knock at the door. I was carrying Ponyboy down toward the door, suddenly the door swung open. Steve walked in with a cigarette in his mouth and a grin on his face. "Hey Sod....." At that point his grin left his face.
"What happened to Ponyboy!!" Said Steve
"I dont know i went to wake him up this morning and...he was like this..." I said with my voice getting shakey
"Bring him to the car!" ordered Darry
I didn't waste time I rushed him over, and told Darry that I was driving. Darry took the back seat while steve and I sat up front. I drove kinda fast, and we were pulled over. I told the police what was wrong and we were escorted to to the emergancy room.
"Will he be okay?" I pleaded with the nurse, while Darry paced back and forth.
"I'm sorry sir that information is not available at this present time..." The nurse told me...I was near panicing
Two hours had passed by. I was sitting in a chair leaning against Darry's shoulder. Darry looked in a trance, as if he felt we lost Ponyboy. My heart skipped a beat, I jumped and I thought that was impossible...Ponyboy was fine...at least I hoped so....
