Thanks again for all the great reviews!! Sorry it took me so long to update!!
Sodasgurl: I am sorry about your grandpa. Two years ago my grandma was on life support, but I didn't go in to see her during that time. I didn't want to see her like that. She is a strong lady, though, because she pulled through and is still with us today. I assumed that the gas tank thing would blow up, but I wasn't sure how bi the explosion thing would be so I didn't know whether or not it would be realistic for Soda to pull through. Thank- you so much for all of the positive comments, and if I need help I'll be sure to contact you via e-mail or whatever. Thanks again!!!!
burnin' church gal: I'm sorry it was mean! I'm glad you like it anyway.
All: Thanks for all of the positive reviews!
Chapter 4: Conscious
Dally
Hello sexy. She has to be the hottest chick I've ever seen!
She giggled when she saw m eyeing her, and whispered, "Hello, handsome."
I nodded at her and all of a sudden she started screaming! Why is she screaming? Then I woke up and saw Soda sitting in the hospital bed with sweat running down his forehead. I could tell by the look in his eyes that he was scared, and I was extremely surprised that his screaming hadn't woken anyone else up.
"Shhh. Soda, it's okay." He turned towards me and I saw that he had tears streamin' down his cheeks.
"Dally?" he was surprised to see me, but very grateful.
"That's right, buddy." I looked closer at him and saw that he was shaking, "Come 'ere." I wrapped him in a tight hug, holding him close to my chest to try to stop his shaking body.
After a couple of minutes of me saying comforting words to him and holding him close, he calmed down a bit.
"Thanks Dal." He said, graciously, with a hint of embarrassment in his voice.
"Don't worry 'bout it, Sodapop." I said still holding him close. I wasn't sure if it was for his sake or mine. I didn't know that the gang would do without Soda. He was important to all of us.
"How are you feeling?" I asked, then gave a slight chuckle, "Or is that a stupid question?"
He looked up at me and gave me one of his famous Sodapop Curtis grins that drove girls out of their minds, "Not a stupid question," he assured me, "But, I honestly don't feel to great," he admitted, "I'm sorry for waking you up, Dally."
I rolled my eyes. It was such a typical Soda thing to say. He always seemed to be worrying about someone else when he needed the attention most, "Don't fret about it, man." I said, "I have to pee, anyway. So it's a good thing you did." I only half joked. He grinned at me again, then pulled away from my tight grip so I could go to the washroom.
When I came back, he was fast asleep. I gave a tired grin, then followed his example.

I opened my eyes to immense sunlight, and was greeted by a groan. I looked over to see Darry stretching his stiff and sore muscles received from a night of sleeping in a hospital chair. I was glad that the doctor's had decided to let us stay. Actually, we had forced them to let us stay.
"Just woke up?" I asked. Darry jumped at the sound of my voice, then turned and gave me a tired nod.
"And you?" he asked.
"Yep. Everyone else is asleep." I noted looking around the crowded hospital room.
"Should we give them a wake up call?" Darry asked, the teasing tone evident in his voice.
"Boo!" Two-Bit shouted, and Darry and I must have jumped five feet in the air.
"Glory, Two-Bit. Give a guy a heart attack." Steve said, glaring at Two-Bit from his spot at the end of Soda's bed.
"Yea." Pony agreed, "Do it again and I'll smack ya."
Two-Bit grinned then looked at Dally who was still fast asleep, "Once more?" he pleaded.
Darry shook his head, "This is a hospital. If you do it again you might actually give someone a heart attack. Not to mention get us kicked out, and I, for one, would like to be here when Soda comes to." Darry looked at Sodapop, and shook his head, "He looks so young and innocent." Darry said.
"Yea," Pony nodded in agreement, "I think we all do when we're sleeping. Even though he's not really sleeping."
"Wonder if his condition's improved." I said out loud.
"I think it has." Dally said as he stretched, "Physically, anyway, mentally.."
"How would you know?!" Darry snapped, "You just woke up!"
"Yea. and I just woke up a couple of hours ago, too. 'Cause Soda was screaming."
"What?!" we were all startled, 'cept Dally.
"Yea. He was freaking out, so I calmed him down, and he went to sleep. I think they'll move him out of ICU soon."
"I hope so. Sorry I yelled at you, Dally." Darry hung his head.
"'S'all right, Dar. You're just really defensive over him right now. We all are."
We all nodded.
"Can I wake him up then?" Pony asked, anxious to see for himself that his brother was indeed conscious.
"I think he needs his sleep." Darry said, "Did he happen to mention any names of who may have done this?"
"Not that I heard." Dally said, looking at Soda's now restless form. He started to toss and turn in his sleep.
"I think we should keep it down." Two-Bit suggested. We all nodded, and became content with watching Soda sleep.
Once again I am sorry it took so long for me to update. I haven't had any computer access since Thursday. Hope you like it so far!!
