Yada, yada, yada. You've read it all before. If you need a reminder you wont find in this disclaimer. Its in last chapter's if you wanna knoe.



Two-Bit turned my head with his hand to face the other way. I sobbed into his jacket uncontrolably. Why Ponyboy? Why? I wanted to scream but I couldnt. Two-Bit held me a bit tighter and gently rocked me. "Ponyboy is gonna be fine. He'll be okay. I promise," Two-Bit whispered.

A cop came over and said, "Miss, I need to ask you a couple of questions."

"Look, she cant talk right now. She's too upset," Two-Bit snapped.

"Bring her down to the station tomorrow, then, Matthews."

"Okay. I will." The cop walked off and thankfully left us alone. The cops sped away with Kevin in the backseat of one of the cars. Sodapop came over to us.

"Me and Darry are taking Ponyboy to the hospital. Dally, Steve, and Johnny are going back to our house. We want you two to go with them," Sodapop said softly.

"Okay. Call us once you know anything," Two-Bit said.

"We will. Rocky, here's your crutches." Sodapop handed me the crutches and run to Darry and Pony. Darry picked up Pony and they started walking back to the hospital. I slowly pulled away from Two-Bit and let my crutches support me. My legs were really weak and I was beginning to wobble. Two-Bit wrapped and arm around me and promised he wouldnt let me fall. The whole way to the Curtis house was silent.

Before I knew it we were at the house. Once inside, me and Two-Bit sat on the couch. Dally joined us after a minute. Steve and Johnny sat the kitchen table. Twenty minutes later, the quiet was shattered by the ringing of the phone. Steve jumped up and answered it.

"Hello?....Hi, Soda. Whats going on?....Uh-huh...yeah...okay. Bye, Buddy." Steve wiped some sweat off of his head with his hand. He was awfully quiet.

"Well? What is it?" My voice came out in a loud, high pitched sound. I thought I was screaming but I couldnt tell. "Hows Ponyboy? Spit it out, Randle!"

"Chill, Little One," Dally said gently as he pat my back.

"Soda said Pony is in shock, kind of delerious, case of exhaustion, minor concussion....he needs a lot of rest."

I nodded. "So he's okay?" I asked.

"He should be."

I closed my eyes and leaned on Two-Bit's shoulder. "Are you okay, Little One?" Two-Bit asked me. I wasnt. I was terrified. I ached all over. I was dizzy and felt sick to my stomach from Kevin kicking me so much. But I told him I was fine instead.

We all stayed at the house til the guys came home. When they came in, we all left to give them time alone. Two-Bit took me and Johnny over to his house to sleep. Two-Bit and Johnny were gonna give me the bed and sleep in the living room but I persuaded them to stay. I was real scared and feeling sick. I did not want to be alone under any circumstances. Two-Bit laid beside me in bed, Johnny took the floor. He's brave if you ask me. God knows what could be crawling on that floor of Two-Bit's. I soon drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Two-Bit and Johnny were nowhere to be found. I wasnt feeling sick anymore to my relief. But glory I still ached and was scared. I hollered for Two-Bit and got his kid sister, Sarah, instead. "Two-Bit'll be right back, Rocky," she said coldly.

"Whats with you?" I asked. Normally she was a sweet kid.

"Nothing. See ya." With that she disappeared from view. I sighed and Two-Bit appeared.

"Hey, Honey. Sorry I wasnt here when you woke up," he said.

"Dont worry about it."

He smiled. "Ready to go the station?"

"Ready as I'll ever be." I sighed. I grabbed my crutches and got out of bed slowly and painfully. Two-Bit must've noticed how much I hurt because he same and helped out of his room and to the car. Once we were in the car we zoomed off to the police station.
