Thank you for reviewing:
tenshikoneko03- Thanks for reviewing! Yeah I sometimes wonder about Two-Bit too.
Not-that-kinda-gurl- Thanks! But I LOVE your stories!
Mrs. Benji Madden- I don't know if they die yet. Well I kinda do, but if you want for info, I put a hint there.
Zuc- Your review was fine, it didn't even look like you forgot stuff! Lol
TheAngryPrincess13- Thanks! I'm going to try to get your character in again sometime soon. In the next chapter or so.

Foalan14- Thanks! Glad you like the story!
Demon Kairos- I agree, I thought the Outsiders would be another boring book I'd have to read for school, but I actually liked it! Thanks!
Sorry I wasn't more specific when I said put a star if you want to know if they die or not. I meant the star thing when you press 'Shift 8'. But anyway, not everyone said they wanted to know so I can't say anything, however it was part my fault and some people got confused- so I'm giving a hint. If you don't want to know, don't read it.
HINT: Someone will die. Maybe two people will die, but most likely one person will die. I've thought about making Dally and/or Johnny die, but I'm not quite sure yet, but I pretty much know their outcome.
Also, I lied. In chapter 20 I think, I said there would be 3-5 chapters before the end, maybe not. Probably more. I might leave a cliffhanger at the end of the story, or I might continue, or I might have a sequel. I don't know yet.
Chapter Twenty-four
Jenny's POV
"I'm worried about her." I told Soda, watching Gail on the couch.
"Why? Gail's tough, she can take care of herself." Soda said rapping his arms around me from behind.
"Dally hasn't been around here for the past couple of days and now he's gone. Gail has been sitting around crying her eyes out in front of the TV. She's been watching a lot of soap opera's and she keeps yellin at the TV, 'Don't trust him! He doesn't love you!' and 'I agree, love bites.'"
"Well, she has been complaining about, 'the damn hormones' a lot" Soda said mimicking Gail's voice.
I laughed. It was hard not to with Soda around. Soda swung me around and kissed me.
"God, you guys make me sick." Gail said bitterly as she walked passed us.
I shook my head. "I swear, next time I see Dally, I'm gonna kick his ass."
"Dally's just confused right now, he'll come to his senses."
"He told me he never wanted to hurt Gail in anyway." I argued back.
Soda was about to reply when the phone rang. Soda left my side to answer it. I didn't stop him since the only person that really calls our house is Darry, and usually to tell Soda to get back home.
"Hello?" Soda asked. "Hey Dar! What? When? Ok see you there."
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Pony and Johnny are in the hospital."
"What happened?"
"I don't know but we need to go now." Soda said urgently.
"Ok I'll go tell Gail." Soda grabbed my arm.
"I don't think that's such a good idea." Soda said nervously.
"Why not?"
"Because… Dally's at the hospital too."
"What?" I exclaimed. "I'm gonna beat the tar outa him! Gail come on, were gonna go visit Pony and Johnny at the hospital!" I hollered.
"What if she sees Dally?" Soda asked quietly.
"She won't."
(At the hospital)
"Where are they? Where's Ponyboy Curtis?" I heard Darry yell.
"Sir, calm down." The nurse said.
"Hey Dar." I said. "Where's Pony?"
"Yeah? Where's our little bro?" Soda asked.
"He's just down the hallway to the left." The nurse said.
Both Darry and Soda sprinted down the hallway to find Pony. Not that I didn't want to see Ponyboy, but I figured I'd give them some alone time for a bit.
When Gail and I reached the three brothers, they were hugging and crying.
"Hey Pony." Gail said, hugging him too.
"How ya feelin?" I asked.
"I'm ok." Ponyboy looked pale and tired. His hair was shorter and BLOND!
"Whoa, Pony, your hair." Soda said, just noticing.
"Aw, shut up Soda." Pony said irritated. "Hey Gail, I heard Dally was in room 202 so if you want to go see him-" Pony stopped.
Gail froze. "D-Dally's h-h-here?"
"Yeah, didn't they tell ya?" Pony said. Aw shit. I thought.
Gail glared at Soda and me. "A-and how is he?" I tried to wave may arm behind Gail's back to get Ponyboy to stop talking, but he didn't see it.
"He's ok, he broke his arm though." Pony said.
"That's it? I wish he could feel that pain I feel right now." Gail muttered angrily.
"Uh… How's Johnny?" I asked changing the subject.
"Not too bad. That guy over there, Jerry, he said Johnny broke his leg when some timber fell on it and he passed out when Dally threw him out of the burning church."
"Dally did what?" Gail shouted.
"Pony, why don't you tell us the story from the beginning." Darry said.
"Ok. Well Johnny and I came back from the movies-"
"Ok skip to the part after you killed the soc." I said.
"Ok, Johnny and me went to see Dally thinking he could get us out of this mess and he did. We ended up going to an abandon church in Windrexville for a while before Dally came. He took us out to eat and when we came back, we saw the church on fire. Probably from one of our cigarettes. So Johnny and me went to see what was goin on. We found out some kids were inside and Johnny and me went inside to save them. Yeah I know Darry, I don't use my head. After we got all the kids out Johnny pushed me out of the window. Apparently he wasn't behind me so Dally went in. Johnny got stuck under a piece of wood and that's how he broke his leg, Dally fell out of the window feet first (hence the 'fell out of the window') and some wood fell on his arm. They're both cut up a bit, but nothing that bad." Ponyboy finished.
We were all quiet. Gail lost some of the anger in her eyes.
Gail's POVI was still mad at Dally for walking out on me, but yet I still admired him for saving Johnny. Johnny. How is he?
"Where's Johnny?" I asked.
"I think he's in 207." Ponyboy said.
I walked towards the room. I needed to talk to Johnny. I knew Dally cared for Johnny more than anyone else in the gang. Dally protected him all the time.
I looked at the numbers on the walls. I was at 200. I could hear yelling from a couple rooms down.
"Jeez lady, leave me alone I'm fine!" I froze. That was Dally's voice.
"Nonsense! You need stitches!" The nurse yelled.
"Will you get off my arm? I don't need the damn stitches!" Dally yelled.
I sighed. How would I get to Johnny's room with out being seen by Dally? I walked slowly by room 201. I was gonna have to run past. I took a step forward and ran. Two strides later, I slipped and landed on my back right in front of the doorway or room 202. Dally's room.
"Gail?" Came Dally's voice. "Gail wait!"
I ran. I ran back down the hallway knocking the 'Caution. Floor is wet' sign and out of the hospital. I didn't want to see anyone right now. I just wanted to be alone.
Yes! I'm done the chapter, sorry it sucked but I needed to do this first before I get to the good part. Review!
