Nothing is Safe
Chapter 2: Going to the Hospital
Darry's P.O.V
As I was walking home with Soda, I heard a noise that sounded like someone running behind us. Just as I stopped and turned around, Ponyboy came crashing into me. "What's the rush?" I asked frustrated. Then I saw the scared expression on his face. "Pony what's wrong?" I asked concerned. "Do you have your blades?" he asked. "Not with us Pony, why?" Soda asked. "Get them fast!" he yelled then took off for the house. "Lets go Soda." I said then took off after Pony. As I was running to the house I kept wondering why Pony looked so scared and why we needed our blades.
Soda's P.O.V.
As soon as we got to the house, Darry, Pony and me went right into the kitchen. As soon as I grabbed the box on top of the fridge, Pony took his blade and then ran out the door. I grabbed my blade and gave Darry his then ran out the door after Pony. We caught up with him in a matter of seconds. "Pony, what's going on!" I asked while we were still running. When Pony turned the corner into an alley, I stopped and found out my answer. I ran into the fight and jumped on a soc that was fighting with Johnny. When he jumped up from the ground he cut the soc across the stomach. As I let the soc fall to the ground I looked around and saw Pony being held down on the ground by two socs, while a third one brought out two blades and started to cut him. 'Where did all of them come from' I wondered seeing an increase in socs. I started to run over to Pony when I heard him scream, but a soc tackled me to the ground. As I got back up and saw the socs running, I saw Pony on the ground bleeding really badly.
Pony's P.O.V.
As I turned the corner and jumped into the fight, a soc shoved me into a wall then threw me to the ground. He started to punch me a couple of times then took out his blade. Since I had mine in my hand, I stabbed him in the leg. He screamed in anger and pain and then two of his buddies came over and held me down. "Your gonna pay for that, Greaser!" he shouted. I saw him take out a second blade, and as he started to slice his two blades down my arms I screamed in agony. I tried to stab him back when he stopped, but my arms wouldn't move. Instead my blade fell out of my hand. As they started to run off, I kicked them. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Soda come rushing over. "Pony…" he said horrified. "Soda..." I said back. "Darry, get over here quickly!" he shouted.
Darry's P.O.V.
As I was looking around at the damage that had happened, I heard Soda call for me worriedly. As I ran over to him I saw why. My baby brother was on the ground bleeding out of two gashes in the middle section of his arms. I kneeled down beside him and scooped him up in my arms. "We have to get you to the hospital." I said. "Darry…" he said. Just then he passed out. "Soda, go get the truck." I said. "Ok." he said. As Soda ran off for the truck, I saw Steve and Two-Bit come walking over. I guess that Steve had seen the fight and came to help. "Come on Pony, hang in there…" I whispered to my brother. "What happened to…." Steve and Two-Bit started to say. They couldn't finish their sentence because the truck had stopped at the alley with a loud screech. Soda jumped out of the car and helped me put Pony in the truck. After we got him in the back seat Soda and me jumped in and sped off to the hospital. Soda was in the back seat to make sure nothing else bad would happen. Just as I thought that nothing could get worse, Soda said the worst thing possible. "Darry, he's not breathing!"
