I was nervous at that moment and steve came walking from the bathroom and
sat next to me. I felt as if something inside was missing but I thought
nothin of it. A head nurse had walked up to the three of us, and stood in
front of Darry.
"Darrel Curtis?" She announced catching Darry's undivided attention
"Yeah that'd be me." He said standing up to see her scanning a clip board.
"Is Ponyboy gon' be alright?" I asked the head nurse standing next to Darry.
Steve sat there with his arms crossed, he had already fallen asleep. It was quite rude, but we let him sleep. The nurse had said it was okay for us to see Ponyboy, but she never answered if he was gonna be okay. We walked into the room, and Darry and me saw Pony on oxygen machines and plasma I.V's
"He Pon' " Darry said looking at his half consious brother.
"D...Darry..." Ponyboy mumbled under the rushing air of the oxygen mask
"I'm here Pony, don't give up on me..." Darry said graping one of Pony's hands and griped it tightly.
"W....Were i..is s...soda?" Pony boy asked Darry.
"I'm right here Ponyboy and I'm not going anywhere" I said. Gosh I was worried...I had never seen Pony like that. He was pale and expresionless, To tell the truth I was scared.
"I..I...I'm t..tired....I wanna get some sh...shut e..eye'' Pony said as he began to dose off.
"Sleep tight little buddy." Said Darry looking a bit relived he was okay.
"I'll stay here, you go get to the gas station and work, okay?" Said Darry looking in my direction.
"Sure, if anything happens...you tell me you dig...." I said standing in the door way.
"Sure Soda-pop..." Darry said
Six hours later, when my shift ended, steve went home, but i rushed to the hospital. I wanted to see Ponyboy. When I arrived, there whole gang was there except steve of course. I was suprised when i saw Dally... but I pushed my way through and was able to sit next to Darry who was next to Ponyboy. Who happened to be wide awake. I was happy to see that... but Darry, and the whole gang looked angry.
"What's the matter Darry?" I asked watchin him scowl.
"Those god-damned socs!" I heard Darry slure
"What about the socs?" I asked Darry, hearing Dallas swearing under his breath.
"They jumped me..." Ponyboy added.
What, what when?!" I said sternly
"Last night was the last night they were playing a movie at the drive in. I wanted to see it, and Darry wouldn't have let me... So I left on my own to go see it. When the movie was over it was about 4:00 am. I was walking home and the socs pulled up in thier blue mustang. Gosh was it shiney, but then five socs surrounded me. Then three more walked out of another car, A ford thunder bird....And they jumped me soda...they jumped me..." Ponyboy said while his eyes started to tear. He grasped a sheet and whiped away his tears....
"How did you get back?" Asked Johnny.
"I crawled, and dragged myself back home...I climbed in through the window and passed out on the bed. And that's all I remember..." Pony said looking toward me.
I had clenched my fists...and i gritted my teeth. I sure was steaming... I was about to make them wish they weren't never born. I looked to Darry with fire in my eyes, then to Ponyboy..."I'm gonna make them pay!" I growled as I stormed out of the room red with anger
"SODA WAIT!!!" Darry yelled to me as i began to run.
"I'll make them pay. And I ain't comin back till I do" I yelled out with clenched fists.
