Author's Note:
Ok, just to clear some things up... I am asking for people's suggestions only because I want my readers to enjoy my writing. What is the point of writing if no one will read it? I write so that my readers will enjoy it. And if I don't like their suggestions, then I won't take them. It's not Dally's Chick who persuaded me to want to write something about what else the socs did to Jenny. I was thinking about writing it myself, and I saw her suggestion, so I decided to ask the readers. And also, don't worry, Jenny will not be raped in this fanfic! I like writing the story line of Ponyboy wanting to find out what happened to his girlfriend...It's not only for the readers.. I enjoy writing things like that.
As for the readers knowing what is going to happen, don't worry. I will add surprises here and there, and I will write more than just those short summaries. They are just ideas, and I will not do exactly what they say. Thank-you. And on with the story...

Chapter 4-The Hospital- Jenny's POV
I looked at Ponyboy closely. He looked terrible. He still had blood on his face, and he had a big cut on his right cheek, and he had a bruise on his left temple. His forehead was all scraped up, and I wanted to make everything go away for him so badly, but I knew that I couldn't.
We both gasped at the same time as we met each other gaze.
" Are you okay?" we both said at the same time.
" I am fine! What about you?" I said quickly before he could talk about me anymore.
" My side hurts pretty badly, and my face is a little sore, but I'll be okay after a while" Pony said.
" I am so... so sorry." I said almost in tears.
" Sorry? For what?" he asked.
" For this. All of this. It wouldn't have happened to you if I wasn't a damn soc." I said irritated with myself.
" Okay, first of all it is NOT your fault. And secondly, I don't care what you are.. I still.. I umm.. well.. I love you Jenny." he said.
I wanted to cry. I was so happy.
" You do?" I asked stupidly. This was the first time he told me that he loved me and I asked him if he did.
"Yes." he said as he chuckled a little.
" I love you too Ponyboy, and I was planning on telling you tonight, but then this whole mess happened." I said.
" I'm sorry." Pony suddenly blurted out.
" There isn't anything to be sorry about Pony." I said.
" Yes, there is. I didn't protect you the way a boyfriend is supposed. You could have gotten killed tonight. I don't know what I would have done if-" he suddenly stopped what he was saying and he gasped.
It took me a while to finally realize what he was looking at. The two hickeys that were on my neck. I put my hand over them feeling ashamed.
" Jenny? What did they do?" he asked me firmly. He sounded mad. And Pony usually never sounded mad, at least not to me.
I felt tears forming in my eyes.
" I'm sorry.. This was all that they did Pony. I'm okay. This and ruining my new shirt." I said trying to make a small joke. But Pony was not in the mood.
" Jenny.." he began to say.
" I feel like I have betrayed you.. I don't know why.." I said feeling a tear roll down my cheek.
" Betrayed me? Jenny, you can't help what they did to you." he said gently.
" Thank you." I said as I cried silently.
Ponyboy reached up and wiped a tear away.
" I'm sorry that I couldn't help you tonight." Pony said.
" Pony? How about we have no more sorrys tonight okay? It was you against 5 socs who were all twice your size. There wasn't anything that you could have done. It makes me love you even more that you tried though." I said smiling.
" You're welcome." he said as he smiled back. It was good to see him smile again. He deserved it.
" I will make this date up to you, I promise." he said. Gosh but he could be so sweet sometimes.
" Okay, I'm gunna remember that." I said. I leaned down over him to kiss him. He winced as my lips touched his.
" I'm sorry! I forgot that you were hurt." I said.
" No more sorrys remember?" he smiled as he leaned in to kiss me again.
" Hmm mm." A voice said from behind us.
We bother turned to face the voice. It was Darry, and Soda, Steve and Two-bit were all standing behind him.
" Visiting hours are over." Soda said in a doctor's voice.
I blushed and then I laughed when Soda did his impression.
" Darry? I aint gunna stay here all night am I?" Pony asked. I felt bad for him, I knew how much he hated hospitals.
" Sorry little buddy, but you have to." Darry said.
" No, I promise I am feeling better now." Pony said pleading with Darry.
" Okay.. okay.. I'll go talk to the doc." Darry said as he left the room.
" Okay. Thanks." Pony said.
Darry came back within 3 minutes.
" Sorry Pony, but they said that you gotta stay for at least one night. they gotta make sure that you are going to be alright, and that everything is okay for sure. " Darry said.
By this time the gang was all gathered around Pony's bed.
" Ok.. then Two-bit take Soda and Steve home. I'm going to stay here with Pony tonight." He said.
" But Darry? We can't afford it and you have work tomorrow.." Pony began to say.
" Yeah, but no one else can stay with you, and I am NOT leaving you here alone tonight.." Darry said.
" I'll stay." I quickly volunteered.
" Are you sure that you can?" Darry asked me.
"Yeah, I'll just give Cherry a quick call, my parent's are out of town. They just left, and they won't be back for another month." I said. My parents owned a business and they often had to travel, they had to go to Asia for a month and a half, and its only been two weeks.
" Okay." Soda stepped in before Darry could answer.
" Alright, well here is some change so that you can call your sister. Thank you for doing this Jenny." Darry said as he handed me some change.
" I am definitely happy to do it." I said as I smiled at Pony.
" Pon, you better stay in this bed and don't be disruptive!" Darry said.
" Darry.. I got a bullet hole through my stomach, how disruptive do you think I am gunna be?" He said sounding upset that Darry didn't trust him.
" I know.. I am sorry Pony, I am just worried about you that's all." Darry said sounding genuinely sorry.
" I'll make sure that he's okay Darry don't even worry about him." I said.
" Okay, well.. we gotta go ya'll." Two-bit said.
" Bye kid. I hope you get better." Two-bit said.
" Yeah, me too." Steve said.
I didn't know if Steve meant it or not, but it was still nice of him to say it. Two-bit and Steve waited in the hallway for Darry and Soda.
" You sure scared us something awful Pony." Soda said.
" I know. I'm sorry." Pony said.
" Don't be sorry Pony, just be careful. It aint your fault. We better get going kid." Soda said.
" Bye Pon. Bye Jenny, oh and one of us will come by and pick you guys up sometime tomorrow morning. You should be able to come home by then." Darry said.
"Okay. Bye." Pony and I said at the same time.
" Oh and Pony?" Darry stuck his head back in the door. " We love you." he said.
" I love you guys too Darry." Pony said not sounding the least embarrassed. It almost brought tears to my eyes, they were all so close.
" Bye." I said one more time.
" I really do hope that you'll be able to go home tomorrow.. how are you feeling now?" I asked.
" Umm... they gave me lots of pain killers, so it don't hurt so bad now." Pony said happily.
" I'm glad." I said.
" Thank you for staying with me Jenny." he said smiling.
I touched the side of his face with my fingertips.
" There is no other place that I would rather be right now." I said.
" I love you." he said for the second time tonight. It felt so good to here him say that.
" I guess we have a lot of explaining to do to everyone tomorrow huh?" I asked him.
" Yeah, I'm not looking forward to it either. Hey, you never did finish telling me what happened to you after I uh.. passed out." He said.
" Nothing else Pony. I was just so scared, I don't remember much about what happened." I said. I really didn't feel like telling Pony how I was tied up, and I how I didn't remember them doing it.
" Are you sure?" he asked me again.
" Yeah." I said as I smiled at him.
" So.. I'd better go call Cherry before she gets to worried, it's midnight and I was supposed to be home by 11:30.. I'll be right back sweetie." I said. It felt good to call him that. He was mine, and I was proud of it.
I went right out into the hallway, and saw a payphone right outside the door. I stuck the change in that Darry had given to me and dialed my number.
" Hello?!" A worried Cherry answered on the very first ring.
" Cherry? It's me." I said. I hoped that she wasn't to mad at me.
" Oh gosh! Are you okay? Where are you? Where are you not here?" She asked quickly.
" I'm okay.. kind of.. I'm at the hospital." I said.
" Why?" She asked.
" Because, Ponyboy and I got jumped while we were on our way to the movies." I said.
" Are you guys okay?" she asked me.
" Yeah, we are okay. I didn't even have to see a doctor, but Pony got stabbed." I said wondering what she would think.
" Oh my god! Is he okay?" she asked again.
" Yeah, he can actually probably go home tomorrow. And, he has a couple or cuts and bruises, but besides that and he is pretty much okay. Darry and the whole gang came down here, but they couldn't stay for the whole night because they all had to work... so I said that I would stay with him. That's alright. Right?" I asked hoping that she would agree.
" Yeah, that is alright.. are you sure you're okay?" She asked me again.
" Yes, I promise Cherry. I am fine." I knew that she wouldn't let me stay unless I told her that I really was okay.
"Okay... do you need a ride home in the morning or something?" she asked.
" No, I'll stay with Pony until Darry or Soda comes to get us here in the morning, but I got to go Cherry, my time will run out, I am on a payphone. Bye Cherry, thanks." I said.
" I love you Jenny. Be careful. And tell Pony that I hope that he gets better." she said. Then the phone went dead.
I walked back into Pony's room. her was already fast asleep. I felt so sorry for him. I hated seeing him like this, but regardless I love him, and I will stand by him no matter what, through anything.
The hospital bed was a pretty good sized bed, so I sat on the edge of the bed next to Pony. I stroked his sore cheek. Then I pushed the hair back from his face and I intertwined our fingers together. Before I knew it I fell into a dreamless sleep, but I wish that I could say the same for Pony. But this was going to be the first night that I found out that Ponyboy had nightmares. And not just regular nightmares. He had terrifying ones...
