Thanks again for all the great reviews!! This next chapter is full of a lot of fiction 'cause I'm not an expert at what would actually happen if you.. Never mind. I think you'll get the picture and I don't want to ruin it for you. Even if this chapter is rather fake, I hope that you will like it, anyway!
Chapter 3:
Two-Bit
"My name is Doctor Harksplee, and I am one of the main doctors taking care of Sodapop. Now, how much do you know on his case so far?"
"Nothing!" Dally said, exasperated.
"Nothing?" the doctor repeated.
Darry looked rather annoyed, "No. We don't know anything at all!"
The doctor seemed startled at Darry's sudden outburst, but continued, "Well then where should I start?" he thought a moment, "Sodapop works at a gas station, DX, or something, right?" We all nodded, "It seems that after a customer, whom he was helping, started to drive away they threw a match at one of the gas tanks.." We all gasped, "Yes. Luckily, Sodapop was quite a distance away by this time. Although, the damage that was done is still near fatal, and.."
"Is he okay?!" Pony asked. He obviously couldn't wait any longer to know how Soda was.
The doctor sighed, which obviously didn't mean good things, "It could have been worse." He said, "As soon as he got here we sent him up for emergency surgery, and right now he's in ICU. Sodapop is on a ventilator, which is breathing for him on account that both of his lungs are collapsed."
Steve interrupted him this time, "But he's going to be okay, right?"
"We'll know whether or not he'll make it after 48 hours. You see, while he was in surgery we fixed his internal bleeding, which there was a lot of. There is a chance that the internal bleeding will start up again between this 48-hour period. If it does, there will be nothing we do. After that he is in the clear for that aspect, but he still won't be completely out of the woods."
"Do you know who threw the match?" Dally asked. If the doctor told him who, I knew Dally would probably go kill that person, and all of us would be right behind him.
"We have no clues at this point. We'll know better if.." The doctor sighed at our worried expression due to his poor choice of words, "I mean when. Sodapop wakes up. He should be able to tell us who it was, unless he gets amnesia, which is definitely a possibility do to the extensiveness of his injuries."
"Do you think it was on purpose?" I asked.
"The police are not ruling out anything at this point."
"Can we see him?" Darry asked.
"For a couple of minutes at the most. Although I warn you it is not a pleasant sight, and he is unconscious." Doctor Harksplee warned, "He's in ICU room number one, down the hall and to your left at the nurses station." We thanked him and immediately went to find ICU room number one.
Johnny
We walked into ICU room number one, and even though we were fore warned we still weren't prepared for what we saw.
Soda was completely pale, and had a tube that went down his throat. He had one of those IV things in his arm, and he was even attached to a heart monitor.
"Hey Soda." Darry said, even though we didn't know for sure if he could hear us, "How're ya doin', little buddy?"
We all went by the bed, and looking at Soda's various injuries.
"Who would do such a thing?" Two-Bit asked. We all shrugged.
"I don't know." Dally said, "Everybody loves Soda. But I honestly can't see how this could have been an accident. I mean throwing a lit match out anywhere is dangerous, but at a gas station. I mean come on!" Dally's face was red, he was so mad.
"Who ever did this will pay." Two-Bit promised, and we all nodded our heads in agreement.
What do you think? I don't know exactly what would happen if someone did that, or anything really about the injuries and stuff. I made it all up, as I'm sure you all could tell. Hope you like it!! I'll try and update soon!!!!
