Hi everyone! I am having a great weekend! Angel and Jade were over, and
being silly, and we came to the conclusion that we are going to write
story TOGETHER! Yay! So you can start looking for that one too! I am
also on some weird kick to want to do a songfic... it's frustrating
changing the words and stuff, but you can expect a few of those from me
too!
Also! BIG NEWS! My sister-sister-in-law-law (LOL!), Jade has a penname
now! She is: "Take a picture" .... so everyone wait patiently for her
first story... I'm not sure what that'll be. But in the meantime, you
can preview her work... she wrote "The Color of Green" under Angel's
penname (Pixie Moon Angel). So go read that, and boost her confidence by
reviewing it so then she'll write more! (if you need persuasion, I'm
sure that it counts as the days good deed... LoL)
But that's all the news I have for now, so enjoy this chapter!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The ride to the hospital was bumpy. Angel drove fast all the time-
but she was way worse when she was nervous, or angry. And right then,
she was both. She, Heaven, and Taylor were jostled the entire way there,
which made it hard to apply pressure to Taylors shoulder. Even still, they
were all silent-much too preoccupied with their own thoughts to be
concerned with anyone else's.
When they got to the emergency room, they were not allowed to
go with Taylor right away, so the Marquin sisters spent an hour sitting
in silence, flipping through old magazines. After what seemd like an
eternity, they were allowed to see him.
As they walked in, they saw Taylor chilling in his room, watching
tv. His shoulder was tightly bandaged-but they only knew this because
his shirt wasn't on. "Is it just me, or is anyone else really hot?" he
asked as they entered. Angel pulled two chairs over to his bedside while
Heaven gave him a huge hug-being extremely careful of his shoulder.
"How are you?" she asked him. "I'm doing... better. It makes me feel
way better to have you here, though." She sat down in the other chair
and held his hand. Everyone was silent for a few moments, until Heaven
stood up. "Does anyone else want some coffee?" Angel and Taylor both
nodded. "Ok, well I'm not sure if you can have coffee, if you're on
drugs it might interfere with them." Angel and Taylor turned and looked
at Heaven blankly-she was the only member of their gang that knew stuff
like that. Other than Ponyboy, that is. "I'll be right back." she said,
embarrassed, and turned to walk out.
Taylor and Angel just sat in the awkward silence. After a few
moments, though, Angel decided she had something to say. "What were you
doing at the park?" she asked through gritted teeth. "You didn't say
park, you said drive-in!" Angel was obviously trying to remain calm,
but was totally unsucessful. Taylor didn't answer. "WHY THE HELL WERE
YOU THERE!? You could have been killed! HEAVEN could have been killed!"
She jumped out off her chair, causing it to slide backwards as she
shouted. "WHAT THE FUCK WERE YOU DOING THERE?"
Taylor looked at Angel, whose face was red from anger, her body
shaking from worry and stress. "LOOK, Angel! We DID go to the movies!
It ended. We had a half an hour, so we drove around for awhile. We saw
the park, got out and played some tag. That was IT! And then those
dead men walking strolled up in our territory with heaters. THE FIRST
THING I DID was make sure that I had my switch out, that Heaven was armed,
and that she was behind me! So you know what? You're right! IT COULD
have been her! BUT IT WASN'T! I'M in the hospital- not her!" He yelled
back defensivly as he grabbed her arm.
"But it wasn't her, and both you and I know it. I made SURE of it."
He paused. "Now, I understand that you don't like me dating Heaven, and
I know WHY you don't like me dating Heaven. Trouble seems to follow us
Winston boys, and you know it from personal experience. But I really do
like Heaven. I will not let anything hurt that girl, not ever. I took a
bullet for her to prove it to her, to everyone. So, I'm not asking
you to give us your blessing-it'd be nice. But all I want is for you to
understand."
Utter silence filled the room, making their ears ring. Angel
finally spoke...
"Alright. You win."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heaven and been standing outside the door listening for most
of their conversation. She was about to enter when she heard Taylor say,
"But all I want is for you to understand." She waited to hear what Angel
said, wondering if there was anyway Angel would say yes to Taylor.
"Alright. You win." is what she heard. Heaven couldn't believe what she
had just heard. She was so shocked at Angels response that she almost
dropped the coffee, so she decided just to walk back in.
"The doctors said you could have decaf, so lie if they ask you
what you're drinking." she said with a smile as she passed around the
styrofoam cups. Taylor grinned at her as he downed half the glass in one
gulp. She sat back down. Everyone was silent again.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After awhile, the doctors made Angel and Heaven leave. Dally
had just gotten there, so after a few moments of visiting with his
brother, and congratulating him on his first gunshot wound ("I bet it
won't be the last one you get, either." said Dally, in a strangely
proud way.), he decided to drive the girls home. The nurses were very
rude to Dallas-the last time he had been there, it was when Johnny had
almost died-he had put a hole in the wall. "We are only keeping him for
observation tonight, Mr. Winston, you can come back tommorrow and get
him!" said an especially pushy nurse.
After an exchange of rather harsh words between Dally and "the
fat heffer", as Angel called her, they left. On the way, though, Dally
was full of questions. "Who did it?" he asked Heaven. "The same guy who
jumped me at school-Bryan Phillips." Dallas shook his head as he smiled
evily. "Fucking punk ass soc must have a deathwish."
He dropped the girls off, and headed for the Curtis house.
Their couch had his name on it, and boy did he need it.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ok, so what'd you guys think? I'm sorry, it was ALOT shorter than the
last one, but it served its purpose-at least, I think so!
But anywho-r/r, and I promise more is coming, so just be patient!
