Nothing is Safe: Chapter 3
Soda's POV
When we got to the hospital, Pony was wheeled into the E.R. right away. We were all sitting in the waiting room to find out if Pony was going to be ok. "Do you think he'll live?" I asked Darry between sobs. "I hope so, little buddy." He said back then put his head down. Then Johnny spoke up for the first time since the accident. "Pony will pull through this." He said. "I hope so…" Two-Bit said. Just then Steve came walking through the doors into the waiting room. "Hey." He said. "What's going on? I saw you guys take off, so I followed ya here." I noticed that he started to look around. "Hey…where's the kid?" he asked. I looked up at him with tear filled eyes. He must of understood, because all he said was, "Oh." And then he sat down. I was just about to open my mouth and explain to him what happened, when I saw a doctor coming towards us.
Darry's POV
When I looked up from the ground, I saw a doctor walking towards us. I was hoping he had news about Pony. "Darrel Curtis?" he asked. I stood up and walked over to him. "That's me." I said. "Hi, my name is Dr. Carter." He said. (for those of you that watch ER, that's where I got the name from cuz I couldn't think of one) "Hows Pony?" I asked. "He's going to be fine. He just has to stay here for the night so that we can watch him." He said. I sighed with relief. My brother was going to be alright. "He lost a lot of blood, but he's doing just fine. He needed stitches from his mid arm section to just below his shoulders where the cuts were the deepest, and we had to bandage his wrists to stop the bleeding." Dr. Carter said. "Can we go see him?" I asked. "Yes, but only family right now." He said then walked away. I looked at Soda. "C'mon," I said, "we're goin to see Pony." Soda got up without hesitation and followed my to Pony's room.
Ponyboy's POV
When I woke up the last thing I remembered was being in the alley. I looked up at the white ceiling. "Where am I?" I asked to no one in particular. "You're at the hospital, Mr. Curtis." A lady said. "Really?" I said trying to get out of this daze I was in. Then I remembered Soda and Darry. "Are my brothers here? Can I see them?" I asked. "Dr. Carter just went to go tell them how you were, they'll probably be here soon." She said. As soon as she finished her sentence, Darry and Soda came into the room. "Hey guys." I said. "Hey Pony, how ya doing?" Soda asked. "Alright, I guess." I said. "Well we're glad you're alright Pony." Darry said. "We were worried sick about you." "Is everyone ok?" I asked. "Yeah, everyone is alright, honey." Soda said. "Just a few cuts here, a few bruises there." Darry said. Then I remembered something else. "What about Two-Bit? He ok?" I asked. "Yeah he's fine. Just a lump on the back of his head is all." Darry said. "He was awfully worried Pony. He kept on blaming himself for this entire thing." Soda said. It wasn't his fault, I thought. People get jumped all the time. We can't really stop it from happening. That's just the way it is. "We kept telling him that it wasn't his fault, but he just wouldn't listen." Soda said. "Can I go home?" I asked suddenly. "The doctor said you couldn't go home tonight but you can tomorrow." Darry said. "They just want to keep you over night to watch you, plus you need to rest anyways." I then felt how tired I was. "Alright." I said. As soon as they said bye and left, I fell asleep.
