Stoned again?

Arianna's POV

I woke up early that morning. I couldn't sleep much since Dallas told me that today would be my release day. Me and Nichole could finally go back to the neighborhood. I checked my side and i saw the bandages still wrapped around me, the doctor told me that he would take off the bandages before i left and all that would be left is the stiches. I wanted to take a long hot shower before i left so i slowly lifted my head off my pillow, next thing i know i see Sodapop coming in my room.

"Hiya Sodapop!" I said cheerfully.

"Hey. How you feelin' today?"

"I'm so excited to go! I wanna leave this place already."

Soda chuckled and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "I talked to the doctor and he said once the nurse takes off your bandages you can leave."

"When is the nurse comin'?" My eyes widened.

"Soon. I hope."

"I hope so too."

Ten minutes later a nurse came into my room "Good Mornin' miss."

"Are you the one who will take my bandages off?"

"Yes I am" She turned to Soda. "You must leave. She will meet you after the bandages are removed."

"Meet me in the lobby then when you get the bandages off 'kay?" Soda said stopping in front of the door.

"Alright. It might take awhile longer 'cause I wanna take a shower when they take off the bandages."

Soda rolled his eyes with a grin on his face, then he left the room. After i got unwrapped and got cleaned up I walked out of my room jumping with joy. I ran to the lobby and saw Soda at the other side. I ran as fast as i could to him, he opened his arms. I jumped on him and gave me a squeezing hug.

"I wanna go home now." i said still hugging him.

"Alright then. Let's git goin'."

I hopped back to the floor and froze for a minute. "Hold it. We have to wait until Nichole could leave her room too. We'll leave together."

"Okay. Let's go to her room then."

Nichole's POV

I got up from my bed. I looked around my room and saw Dally sleeping on a chair that was right next to my bed.

"Hey Dal" I was rubbing his hand gently.

"Mmmhmm? Oh hey" he said streching his arms. "Ready to leave this place?"

"Yep! I wanna go home."

"Git dressed and we'll get outta here."

"Alright" Dallas left my room for a few minutes while i took a shower and got dressed. When i opened the door Arianna and Soda were with Dally.

"Hey you guys!" I said

"Let's start on home already." Arianna said pulling on Soda's arm.

"Hey Soda, aren't you suppose to be workin'?" I asked

"Yeah. But Steve said he'll cover for awhile, atleast 'till Arianna got out of the hospital." Sodapop said smiling at Arianna. They looked cute together.

Arianna then had a frown on her face and looked down at her feet. "Two-Bit couldn't come 'cause he got stoned right?" she said

"No, no. Nothing like that. He's probably out gettin' somethin' and lost track of time, that's all." Soda said trying to cover for Two-Bit.

"Yeah, sure" she didn't believe one word he said.

"C'mon, before the doctor decides that you guys aren't ready to leave yet." Dallas said taking out a weed.

"Yeah, let's git movin'." I said grabbing onto Dallys' arm.

Arianna's POV

We got in Dally's car which he said he "borrowed" from Buck. I didn't know who Buck was so i just told myself that Buck was a friend of Dally's. We stopped at the DX to drop off Soda. I decided to leave with him. Before Dally and Nichole drove off a girl came by to greet us.

"Hey y'all!" she said

"Hey Ash! Good seein' ya." Soda said shaking her hand.

"Hey Ashley! How's it been?" Nichole yelled from the car window.

"Hey Nikki! How are you? Heard you got shot."

"I'm feelin' better. Just got out of the hospital."

"Thats good!"

"Hey, who's she?" I whispered to Soda.

"That's Ashely. Steve's sister."

"Hi, I never met you before. Who are you?" she asked me.

"I'm Arianna. Two-Bit's cousin. Nice to meet you." I smiled at her sweetly.

"My name is Ashley. So your with Two-Bit? I never knew he had a couisn..."

"Yeah, i hear that alot." i mumbled.

"We'll see you guys in awhile." Dally yelled from his car, and then he drove off.

"I'm gonna go look for Two-Bit. See what he's up too." I said giving Soda a good-bye kiss.

"Hey, I'll come along with you. The gas station can get boring." she said.

"Hey Ari, how you feelin'?" Steve finally came over.

"I'm fine. I'm gonna split. Bye!" I said walking ahead.

"Bye Steve, bye Soda!" Ashely yelled and then caught up to me. As i started up the block i saw a familar face up ahead. I got a little closer and I got the guy's face more clearer. It was Tim Shepard.

"Hey baby" he said to me. I just walked passed him while Ashley just looked at me.

"What's the matta?" he yelled. I just ignored him.

"Why don't you say hi?" Ashely whispered to me.

"He almost started a rumor about me and him. It's disgusting." I said walking a bit faster. It was too late Tim stopped me and Ashley.

"I saved your life and you don't bother to say hi?" he said giving me a smirk.

"Yeah, thanks for the rescue. But i'm in a hurry." I said walking passed him again.

"You lookin' for someone?" He said catching up to me.

"Yeah, Two-Bit. Have you seen him?" I stopped walking.

"Try lookin' 'round the lot. I think I spotted him there late last night gettin stoned wit some otha greasers."

"Thanks Tim" i said and kept on walking with Ashley right next to me.
