Chapter 21-Please remember
Soda held up a picture of his parents in hopes of sparking a memory. He looked deep into his brother's eyes, searching them for some sign of remembrance. Only two words were going through Soda's mind right now. Please remember. Please Remember.
Pony opened his mouth slowly. "Sorry."
Soda nodded. "You don't remember mom and dad? How about Johnny and Dally? Do you remember them?"
Pony shook his head. "Why aren't they here then?"
Soda wasn't sure exactly who Pony was asking about but it didn't matter. "Don't worry about it Pon."
Soda sat back down in the chair and sighed. All night after Pony woke up and all yesterday and all yesterday night Soda spent every moment Pony was awake showing him pictures and whatever he could trying to make Pony remember. Nothing had worked so far. Pony had asked him some questions every now and then but Soda tried not to bring up anything that may upset him. Darry as well.
Steve came over and placed a hand on Soda's shoulder. "Sorry buddy. But we have to leave for work now anyway."
Soda shook his head. "I can't go Steve. I just can't!"
Steve sighed and whispered. "Come on buddy. We already talked about this last night. You gotta go to work so we can pay for the hospital bills. Darry didn't want to go to work either but he did. Darry said for you to go. It'll be alright. Two-bit is here. He won't go nowhere till we or Darry get back. And there's lots of good Doctors. He'll be fine."
Soda slowly and reluctantly stood up. He walked over to Pony's bed. "Hey listen Pon. I have to go to work okay? But I'll be back as soon as I can. But Two-bit'll be here okay?"
Pony nodded. He still had no idea who this boy was. What did it matter if he stayed or went. Pony did try really hard to remember. He could tell all these people wanted him too. But he just couldn't. It seemed almost like a part of him didn't want to. Every time he thought he was going to remember something he just couldn't. He figured some pretty bad things had happened to him.
Soda and Steve left leaving only Pony and Two-bit in the room.
After awhile of sitting in silence Two-bit finally spoke up. "You know what kid? This blows. Wanna play some poker or something?"
Pony looked confused. "What's Poker?"
Two-bit laughed. "Jeez kid. You have some things to learn."
Two-bit walked over to the bed and sat at the foot end. Pony did not sit up straight but did move his feet out of the way as Two-bit pulled out a deck of cards and started instructing.
After a few games of poker Two-bit stood up and walked to the other end of the room. "Hey kid do me a favor? Tell me if anyone's coming okay? This is a no smoking zone."
Two-bit lit up a cigarette and only inhaled once before Pony spoke up. "Hey-um- uh- you! Someone's coming."
Two-bit quickly put it out and barely had time to hide it in his pocket before a nurse poked her head in the door. She looked around the room strangely as she smelled the air. "Is everything okay in here? Do you need anything."
Two-bit smiled largely. "Everything's fine."
Pony nodded. "I'm fine."
The nurse nodded and left. Two-bit started laughing. "PHEW! Thanks kid. That was close."
Pony sniffed the air curiously. "That smell-. It seems so familiar." He looked to be thinking really hard.
Two-bit watched in anticipation. But soon Pony put his head in his hands. Two-bit came over quickly. He placed a hand on Pony's shoulder. "It's okay kid. Don't get upset."
Pony looked up. "I'm not upset. My head just really hurts. I feel like I was almost remembering that smell though."
Two-bit nodded. "Maybe I should get a nurse."
Pony shook his head. "Naw, I'm fine."
Two-bit didn't look convinced. After all he remember the last time Pony told him he was fine. "Sure?"
Pony nodded. "Ya, so did I like those things?"
Two-bit pulled his hand out of his pocket and looking at the remains of his cigarette. "These?"
Pony nodded.
Two-bit laughed. "Kid I never seen anyone go through as many as you."
Pony and Two-bit both laughed as there came a knock on the door. The nurse stood in the doorway. "Ponyboy, you have a visitor, a pretty young red head, says her name is Cherry. Want me to send her in?"
Pony looked at Two-bit then nodded.
