The Day Comes To An End

Arianna's POV

Where am I? I heard my voice echoe. Is this heaven? Well i didn't go to church much i'm probably in hell...great. But then again, i feel like i've been in this place before. I saw things alittle bit more clearer. I was in my old hangout, back in my town with my band. It was Mason; the drummer, Zane; the guy who plays the electric guitar, and me who is the lead singer and plays the base. I was up on stage, it was only me and my band and Two-Bit too; we were there alone. Two-Bit was sitting, just watching us. This looked familar as if it happened already.

"C'mon Ari, let's git started." Mason said picking up his drum sticks.

"Yeah, sure" I just played along until i figured out what was going on. I grabbed me base and took my poistion. I cued everyone and i started off...

On The Other Side

I'm tired of everyone I know
Of everyone I see
On the street
And on TV, yeah

On the other side
On the other side
Nobody's waiting for me
On the other side

I hate them all, I hate them all
I hate myself
For hating them
So drink some more
I'll love them all
I'll drink even more
I'll hate them even more than I did before

On the other side
On the other side
Nobody's waiting for me
On the other side

Here we go

I remember when you came
You taught me how to sing
Now, it seems so far away
You taught me how to sing

I'm tired of being so judgemental
Of everyone
I will not go to sleep
I will train my eyes to see
That my mind is this blood as a birch on a tree

On the other side
On the other side
I know what's waiting for me
On the other side

On the other side
On the other side
I know you're waiting for me
On the other side

And after the song was over, all i hear is Two-Bit clapping very loud from his seat. I got off the stage and walked up to Two-Bit.

"What gave you the inspiration to make that song?" Two-Bit asked

"My folks" i simply said.

Then everything around me was blacking out. What's going on! I turned and turned trying to understand what was going on. Then i see my self back at the lot, where Eric cut my ribs and where Nichole got shot. I was lying on the floor, same poistion as i was when i got stabbed, except i wasn't cut up. And the weird thing was that it wasn't Nichole that was reaching for my hand this time, it was Soda! I grinned crazily, my hand was about an inch away from Soda's hand. I leaned in closer but then i hear a shot. I saw Soda go flying backwards. I get up and start running towards his body, but his body is moving away from me.

"Soda! Soda"! i was yelling like crazy. "Soda!" Then after that i blacked out again.

"Is she alright. Damnit! Why is this happening!" I heard a loud voice.

"She'll be fine. Just like the doctor said." I heard a stern voice say.

I opened my eyes slowly trying to grasp everything that has happened. When my eyes were fully open i see Two-Bit, with tearing coming down his cheeks. And he was standing in front of a nurse, i think he was arguing with the nurse. And on my other side i see Soda and he's covering his face with his hands.

"Hey Two-Bit, lay off. She's just trying to make you less nervous." I said weakly. Then everyone's eyes went towards me. Two-Bit ran at me pushing the nurse aside. He squeezed me so hard i had to shove him alittle to give me some air.

"How you feeling, kid? You had us scared to death!" Two-Bit said grabbing a chair and setting it next to my bed.

"My ribs hurt, and my head hurts, and my throat hurts a bit too."

"I figured. You kept yelling Soda."

"What!" I said perking my head up. I thought i was dreaming, i hope i wasn't talking in my sleep.

"You were singing your song. Umm what was it called again...oh yeah. "On The Other Side"

"Did i sing it loud?"

"Loud enough only that me, soda, and the doctor could hear you." I almost forgot Soda was sitting next to me. I turned to him, his eyes were a bit red.

"What's 'rong with you?" I asked him.

"What's 'rong! I'll tell you what's wrong. You run off on me at the DX, you get stabbed in the ribs, Tim is sayin' your his gurl, and you were yellin' my name constantly while you were unconscience!" he wasn't yelling but he wasn't whispering either. He was talking loud with a soft voice.

"Hol' up a minute. Tim is sayin' what?" my eyes widened.

"Did you do anythin' with him?" Soda asked sternly.

"Uhh no. I just met him at the lot...besides, why do you care anyway! You have your little fan club to care 'bout!" I yelled.

"Uhh I'll leave you two alone." Two-Bit said heading out the door right behind the nurse.

"I don't have a fan club! Those girls at the DX came by to ask for directions. So i played nice and pointed the way, and when i did they asked about my muscles. They lifted my shirt and They started to feel my muscles for like a second. The key word here is "They". I swear i wasn't flirting with them! And you can ask Steve if you don't believe me!"

"Yeah, sure" I just stared at the clock on the wall.

"So what 'bout you and Tim, huh?"

"Nothin'. I just met him like i said before." I kept staring at the clock.

"Oh yeah, that so unbelieveable..." he said sacrasticly.

"I don't like him!" I bursted out. "The only person i think i ever liked in this stupid town is you!"

Soda froze for a second "Are you serious?"

I took my eyes off of the clock and i turned red. "Yeah" I stared right into his eyes, and he was staring right back. He leaned closer to me, then our lips touched. He kissed me softly for about a minute...and after that he stayed with me for the whole time until vistor time was over. He gave me a good-bye kiss and then he left. I sighed resting my head on my pillow. I was lonely again, i decided to check up on Nichole. There was a rule in the hostipal that patience that are in my condition are not allowed to leave their rooms. But i didn't pay attention to that. I figured Dally is still in there, he probably didn't listen to the nurse when she said visting time was up. I found her room, since Two-Bit left me her room number before he left with Soda. I walked in and i found Dally rubbing Nichole's hand gently.

"What are you doin' out of your room? There's a rule ya know." Dally said.

I gave him a smirk "Yeah, and there's a rule that says visitin' time is over at 9 P.M." I pointed at the clock on the wall. He gave me a grin.

"How you doing Nichole?" I asked

"My arm feels like it's goin' to fall off." she said looking at her wrapped up arm.

"I had the same feelin' when the jerk cut my arm up with the busted bottle."

"Oh, was that why you had your arm wrapped up before?"

"Yep" I was looking around the room and then i couldn't hold in my secret. "Soda kissed me!" I totally forgot Dally was in the room.

"What!" they both said

"I don't know. It just happened. It was so awesome." I said with a sigh.

"Aww how cute!" Nichole squealed.

"Yeah, Soda is always good with the ladies." Dally said grinning. I stayed talking to Nichole and Dally, it was real fun. But then the nurse came in and ruined our fun, she asked Dally and me to leave. Dally kissed Nichole good-bye, and then we left. Dally walked me to my room to make sure i made it there safely.

"So what's goin' on with you and Nikki?" I asked curiously.

"I don't know. It might go somewhere or it might not. But the truth is i like this broad alot, man." he said smiling at me.

"Well good luck with that. Anyway I'm tired, I'm goin' to bed." I yawned.

"Alright. Me and the rest of the gang will probably see you guys tomorrow. The doctor says you two will probably be able to leave in the mornin'."

"Thank God! This place gives me the creeps."

"Yeah, well see ya 'round." He said walking down the hall. I entered my room and layed on my bed and fell into a deep sleep.
