Ok I am SOOOOOOOO sorry its taken me so long to update, but I have been completely brain dead on EVERYTHING. But this chapter may be short…I'm just trying to update as much as I can. I know everyone's asking me to make Steve live, well you might find out in this chapter if he lives or not. I really hope I haven't lost my readers with my LONG delay….but I had my trip to Virginia…planning on going back to school to finish up, just a lot going on right now.

"Steve please wake up…" Soda whispered sitting next to Steve's bed. He sat there talking to Steve, hoping that he could hear him and just wake up. Son the door opened again and Tabitha walked back in

"Soda I hate to tell you this…but visiting hours are almost over…the Doctor Johnson wants you to leave soon…"

"I cant just leave him here like this…I mean what if something happens? I wanna be here for my best friend." Tabitha bit her lip as Sodas eyes filled with tears again and went to sit next to him

"It'll be ok Soda…they have me working all night…I'll keep an eye on him, and I'll call you if anything happens." Soda thought for a moment before nodding

"Alright…thanks Tabby." He said standing up slowly and walking towards the door where Darry was waiting for him.

"Anytime Soda." She said watching as they left before going back to work.

"You gonna be ok Pepsi Cola?" Darry asked glancing over at Soda as he drove. Soda shrugged and looked down at his feet. Not trusting himself to say anything the whole way home.

Once back at the house Soda went inside and threw himself down on the couch as Two-bit turned on the TV to watch Mickey Mouse.

A couple of hours later Soda was asleep on the couch when the phone rang, he looked up sleepily as Darry answered it and nodded a couple of times, as if the person on the other line could see him.

"Soda, its Tabitha, she has news about Steve." He sat up quickly grabbing the phone from Darry

"Hello, Tabby? What about Steve?"

Bum, bum, bum. I'm gonna end there, I decided not to let you know if Steve lives or not. Please review I want 5 more reviews before I update again. Again I'm sorry this chapter took me SOOO long to update. Anywho please review. Thanks
