Now the bunnies are telling me to stop rambling and let you get to the story..so ON WITH THE SHOW!
"Love is Friendship set on fire."
Chapter 6
Sam sat in the corner of the hospital waiting room sobbing quietly to herself. This is all my fault. All my fault.
"Mr. Curtis?" A voice asked. Looking up, Sam saw the doctor. Darry stood walking to him as Sam and Ponyboy followed.
"Yes?" Darry asked, swallowing hard.
"Your brother is going to be just fine. The bullet missed all of his organs. It simply went through the flesh in his right side. He will need to keep that wrapped for 8 weeks. He will need to be out of work for that long as well. He's basically going to have 8 weeks of being a couch potato. " The doctor laughed trying to lighten the mood as Darry exhaled the breath he'd been holding.
"When can we see him?" Darry asked.
"We just removed the bullet so it will be a while before he's fully aware of his surroundings, but you all may go in one at a time now." He said smiling, he turned to walk off and stopped. "He's been asking for a Samantha..maybe she should go in first."
Sam smiled, more tears rolling down her cheeks. Darry gave her a gentle pat.
"Go on Sam." He said pointing her in the right direction and giving her a gentle shove. She smiled as she walked slowly down to his room. She placed her hand on the door and took a deep breath trying to compose herself before she walked in. She released the breath and pushed the door open. He was sitting up in the bed, looking at a magazine, which was upside down. Sam giggled and he looked up at her.
"Sam!" He exclaimed, holding out his arms. Sam smiled at him as she walked forward, wrapping her arms around his neck as she sat on the bed softly.
"Oh Sodapop.." She said softly, burying her face in his neck and crying. He rubbed his hand up and down her back gently.
"Sam..shh..what's wrong? Don't cry."
"You jumped in front of a bullet for me Soda! You could have been killed!" She said, resting her forehead against his, and closing her eyes.
"Baby, I couldn't let anything happen to you. I love you." He said softly. She opened her eyes and looked into his eyes. Her hand slowly found its way to his neck and rested there as her lips collided with his. She let out a soft moan before pulling away.
"I love you too Sodapop Curtis." He smiled at her as he reached up and wiped the tears off her cheeks.
"Please don't cry. I don't want you to be upset. I'm going to be fine." He told her, holding both her hands in his. He sighed as they sat in silence just enjoying being together for a while.
"How's Steve?" Soda finally asked.
"Apart from a black eye and hurt pride, I think he's okay." She said softly.
"I meant..you know..is he here?" Soda asked. Sam looked up at him.
"No," She shook her head, " He's not. He refused to come. He left after the ambulance came and got you and didn't say were he was going. I'm sorry Soda."
He looked down at their intertwined hands and sighed. "I really didn't expect him to be here anyway."
"Your brothers are here. And so are Dally, Two-bit, and Johnny." She said trying to cheer him up.
"Great. Thanks." He said meekly.
"They really want to come in and see you, so I'm gonna go and let them come in, okay?"
"Please don't leave Sam. I need you here." He pleaded, like a small child who was afraid of the dark.
"They won't let more than one person come in and there really worried about you." She tried to reason with him.
"Sam..please..I just want to be with you." She looked at him, and nodded.
"Okay. I won't leave. I'll stay with you as long as you want me too."
"Your in for a long trip then, because I want you with me forever." Sam smiled before kissing him gently on the nose.
"I think I'm up for the challenge."
