Chapter 6 - The Aftermath
Don't worry! I'm not dead Burnin' Church Gal! Sorry for the lack of updates, but I joined a cheerleading squad and it's been taking up my time. But the season's over, so I'm gonna start writing again. And to all the people that sent flames to my email requesting a new chapter, well this is for you guys. I hope you'll continue to read this story, and thanx for sticking with me! Oh, and I hope you don't mind the turning of the story, since it's going to start leaning into a different genre.
The hospital scared me. It's clean smell made me feel like a prisoner. Soda and I had been sitting out in the waiting room for hours. All I could think about was, 'You're in for it now Pony.' I knew that Soda probably hated me for what I had done. When we got into the ambulance, Soda looked at me like he was disappointed. I can understand it though. I wonder what Darry thinks? How are we ever gonna pay the hospital bills.
One of the nurses walked up to us, and I got really nervous. "Are you Mr. Curtis' relatives?" she asked in a British accent. Soda nodded his head. "Well then, follow me." She started to lead us to a door. She stopped in front of room 216. "He has suffered a concussion and has lost a lot of blood, plus his nose was broken, but we've fixed all of that. He's in here, but he may be groggy, and mayn't be able to comprehend what you're saying to him."
She opened the door for us, and immediately the bright light of the room made my eyes hurt. That really annoying pain right behind your eyes that stays for days. Soda walked to the side of the bed and grabbed Darry's hand, as if he was keeping alive and if he let go, he would die. I walked to the other side and sat in a chair. I still felt horrible for what I did, and I knew I had to explain it to Soda and apologize to Darry. I walked up closer to the bed and tried to talk, but all that came out was a few clicks that my throat made.
"Pony." I looked up and saw that Darry was looking at me. He smiled. One of those real, genuine smiles that brighten a day. A smile he always used to give. I knew we were on good terms again. I was so relieved; I'm not one who likes to have long discussions with anybody. And I knew Darry was probably embarrassed about it all.
"Darry, you're awake!" Soda yelled. "Dammit, Soda, you don't have to break my eardrums!" "Sorry Dar." Without warning, we heard a sound from outside the door. "I'm sorry sir, but you can't go in there, only relatives may go in!" "But I'm his uncle's best friend's husband's son's best friend's cousin once removed!" We all looked at each other and said, "Two-Bit"
The door opened and sure enough, there was Two-Bit, with his half smile and the British nurse right behind him. Now that the situation wasn't so dire, I started to notice the nurse. Especially how pretty she was. She had long, straight black hair. Her eyes were kind of pale, almost colorless, as was her skin. She had a few wrinkles, but they made her beautiful. Her nails were the most obvious. They were nearly transparent, but it looked like she tried to hide it with dark red nail polish.
"Sir, you don't expect me to believe that story!" She yelled at Two-Bit. Her teeth were as white as paper. Her lips were cherry red, but they had no lipstick. Her nose was.well.a little odd. It was very small, probably the only really odd thing on her face. "Well, I can't let you be in here by yourself, so I'm going to just have to sit in here with you." "Really, how about you sit in my lap?" She looked at him with a disgusted grin and sat in a chair next to me.
"Roses." I said stupidly. "Excuse me?" she asked curiously. "You smell like roses." She smiled at me. I blushed and looked down. "Oh, it looks like Mr. Curtis has passed out again." I looked up again and saw that this was true; Darry had passed out and was lying at an odd angle. She laid him gently back onto his pillow and asked Soda to move away from him.
"He'll be like this for a while, and besides, visiting hours are over. You'll need to leave sirs." "Fine, but thank you for making sure he's okay miss." Soda said, waiting for her to give her name. "My name is Trinity Price." She shook our hands.
When we were out of hearing distance, Soda looked antsy. "What is it Soda?" "There was something strange about that woman."
~~Okay, hopefully the next chapter will be out soon! I'm tryin really hard. So I'll talk to yall later. And remember..KORN RULES!!
