Chapter 5- Love and Nightmares-Jenny's POV
I awoke to Ponyboy squirming in bed, and mumbling things in his sleep.
" Pony... wake up.." I said slightly shaking his shoulders.
" No.. leave her alone.. stop..." he said. Getting louder each time he spoke. By now he was trembling.
" Pony, come on, wake up..." I said again.
" No!!!!!" he yelled. He was sweating and kicking his legs.
I hopped off of the bed and tried to wake him up.
" Soda... Soda help.." he yelled.
I tried to hurry up and quiet him so that the nurses didn't have to come in.
All of the sudden he shot up in a sitting position. He looked around to see where he was. I looked at him closely, since it was dark, and I noticed that he was crying.
When he realizes where he was and when he also noticed that I was there he said, " Oh gosh!" and he put his hand to his head. I guess that he was embarrassed or something. I didn't know why, he had nothing to be embarrassed about. I saw that he was still shaking quite a bit.
I climbed back into the bed with him.
"I'm sorry." he said crying silently.
" Shh.. " I said gently. I sat all the way on the bed with him, and I slowly brought his head down, and I rested it down onto my chest. I ran my fingers through his hair trying to calm him down.
" It's okay... everything will be alright." I said in a soothing voice.
" I'm not supposed to cry." he said in a whisper.
" Why not sweetie?" I asked.
" Hoods like me.. their tough.. not supposed to cry.." he managed to say.
I gave a small heart-filled laugh. " I don't see any hoods around here. Just one handsome, sweet and intelligent guy. And don't ever think that you can't cry Ponyboy. Especially in front of me.. you can cry... it just makes me love you even more, and it doesn't mean that you're not tough.. you proved how tough you are tonight." I said still stroking his hair softly.
He didn't say anything. He didn't need to. He cried. And I wanted to cry for him, and for Darry and Soda, and for Johnny and Dallas. I wanted to cry for Steve, and for myself. But I didn't.. Pony needed me right now, and I was going to be strong.
I talked quietly to him for ten minutes until he went to sleep. I looked at my watch trying to read the time. It was 2:00 in the morning. I refused to let myself sleep. If Pony had another nightmare, I would be there for him.
I got a feeling that he often had nightmares. My heart ached for him. His parents were dead, his two best friends died, he just got stabbed, he had these awful nightmares, and he didn't deserve any of it. I made a silent promise that I would only make Pony's life better, and never worse. I slowly rested my eyes.....
~*~ That Morning~*~
I opened my eyes and it was getting light outside already. Oh, god! Had I fallen asleep? I had tried so hard to stay awake! I realized that instead of Pony being in my arms, I was in his. This suggested that he probably woke up again, and I hoped that it wasn't because of a nightmare. I looked up at his face, and to my surprise he was awake. My watch read 7:00.
" Good morning beautiful." he said to me.
Those words sounded so good in my ears. I loved this.. we were both getting over the " shy" part of our relationship.
" Hi." I said smiling. I wondered if he remember what had happened last night.
" Thank-you." he said.
" For what?" I asked wanting to make sure I knew what he was talking about.
" For earlier this morning. I guess that I kinda forgot to tell you that sometimes I get these really bad nightmares, and when I wake up I don't really remember them at all. They started ever since my parents died. From what Soda and Darry tell me, I can say some crazy stuff sometimes. What did I say?" he asked.
" Umm, well you asked for Soda a lot." I said. I didn't want to tell Pony everything else that he said. I didn't want him to hurt anymore than he already did.
" Oh, well Soda and I share a bed. I know it sound dumb, and it sounds like I am a baby, but whenever Soda is with me, my nightmares don't happen as often." he said.
" Pony, it's not dumb at all. I just wished I could have helped you the way Soda does." I said.
" You did Jenny. I didn't have another nightmare after you..." his sentence trailed off.
" Until after you were in my arms?" I said laughing.
" Yeah, it was... nice." he said smiling.
" How are you feeling?" I asked.
" Really sore." he said.
" Aw, poor baby.. I wish I could make it go away." I said. Then I leaned in and kissed him. He returned the kiss by wrapping is arms around me. His fingers were gently going in circled on my back, but strangely it hurt.
" Hmm mm." A voice said from the door way. We quickly broke apart. Why when we started kissing did people always have to walk in on us? They are going to think that that is all we do.
It was Soda, Steve, and a nurse wearing white.
" How are you feeling Mr. Curtis?" the nurse asked.
" Uh, my side hurts a little." he said. I knew that he was lying, and I knew that he was sore.
" Ok, well don't worry. That is perfectly normal. I'll just get you some pain killers for it. Does anything else hurt? Any headaches? Stomach pain? Anything?" she asked.
Knowing Pony like I do he probably had all of those things, but he will lie about it. He hated hospitals.
" Nope." he said.
She checked his heartbeat and his eyes, and she checked him for a fever, which thankfully he didn't have.
" Ok Mr. Curtis, it looks like you're all ready to go home." she said.
Pony smiled. I was so glad for him.
" Ok, well last night your guardian signed papers saying that we could release you to your other brother. So I am going to go get your medicine, and then you can head out of here." She said, as she hurried out to go get the medicine.
" Hey! Pon!" Soda said.
" Hey Soda." he said.
Soda was totally hyper. He was so glad that Pony could go home. Pony got dressed in jeans and a black t-shirt that Soda had brought him from his house. Soda, Steve and Pony were all sitting on the hospital bed waiting for the nurse to come with the medicine, and Pony also had to get one more shot before he left.
" Hey, I am going to go to the bathroom to get cleaned up little bit." I said.
" Okay." Pony said as he smiled.
" Gosh Pony! You guys just can't keep off each other can ya?" I heard Steve say while I was walking down the hall. I laughed to myself. It used to bug me that they made fun of us, but now I kinda think that it is funny myself. At least Pony and I had each other, Steve wasn't with any girl at the moment.
I walked into the nearest bathroom and I looked into the mirror. I looked so awful. My hair was a complete mess, and my mascara was practically all over my eyes! I still had a few cuts on my face, and they were marked with dried blood. How could Pony have called me beautiful this morning?
Then I remembered that when Pony was touching my back that it had hurt. I lifted up the back of my shirt and turned around to see what was there. I gasped when I saw. There was small bruises and red cuts all over my back. Then, I lifted up the front of my shirt, and again there was cuts and bruises. Oh.. god. What had they done to me? I knew that I wasn't raped, because everything on me was exactly the way I left it, and the cuts and bruises were only on my back and my stomach. And the only thing that was on my neck were two hickeys. But, if they didn't rape me, then how far did they get? What did they do when I was passed out? And why didn't I realize that I had cuts and bruises all over my back.. wouldn't I have noticed? Then again, I was so wrapped up in making sure Pony was okay that they must have hurt, but I didn't even notice. I put my shirt down. I couldn't tell anyone about this. Not Pony or his brothers, or the gang, and not even Cherry. I just couldn't. What would Pony think of me if I told him? I didn't want to know. I made my decision not to tell Pony. If he found out.. it would just make things worse.
I sighed and then I splashed some cold water in my face to wake myself up a bit, and to wash off the dried blood from my cuts. Before I knew it my knees had collapsed, and I was sitting on the bathroom floor crying my eyes out. What on earth was I going to do? I was so confused. And I didn't want to have to face Pony...
TBC....
:::::Author's Note::::::
I am not sure if someone who is stabbed can go home the next day, and I don't know if they can walk, but am going to assume that they can. I have never been stabbed, so I would not know. Sorry if I am wrong.:)
