Two-Bits POV

I walked into the Curtis' house early the next morning, but not early enough because Darry and Soda were both up and already getting ready for work.

"Thank god"Darry said when he saw me

"what?"I asked heading over to the fridge

"could you stay with Pony today? We would stay home but-"

"sure sure"I cut Darry off, watching the kid was no problem for me

"thanks a load Two-Bit"he said pulling on a shirt

Soda walked into the kitchen half asleep, at least im guessing because his outfit consisted of his work shirt, but no undershirt, boxers, and his converse.

"Nice outfit their buddy"I said laughing

"glory"he mumbled while heading back to his bedroom

I sat by eating a nice slice of chocolate cake and watching the Curtis house try to get ready in the morning, it was pretty entertaining. Soda was off his rocker today because each time he walked into the room he forgot something, and Darry was trying to tell Soda to get his head together. I just sat there and laughed, but they had time enough to stop and give me shut-the-hell-up stares. They finally got everything together, or so they hoped and were out the door and on their way to work. I put on tv and when Mickey wasn't on I went into Ponys room, to see if he was awake or not. I haven't seen the kid since his heart had failed that time, he's been too sick. When I walked into the room Pony was asleep but having a nightmare, he was sweating, shivering and shaking. I figured the best thing to do for the kid was to just wake him up, so I walked over to him and grabbed each arm. My hands fit all the way around his upper arms and that scared me, he at least used to be muscular over there. I shook him gently and he woke up after a few more shakes, his eyes opened with a terrified gleam in them.

"Hey Two-Bit"he managed to squeak out when he came around

"hey kiddo"I said patting him lightly on the shoulder

"you alright there?"

He nodded and got out of bed, and I followed him into the living room, he dragged his feet in a weird way like he wasn't strong enough to actually lift his feet up. And I guess he might not be, I mean still recovering from being sick and all. Darry told me that I had to give Pony his medication, that was suppose to be taken with food.

"Hey Pony you gotta eat something so I can give you your medicine"I said

"beside, food wouldn't hurt your body, your beginning to look boney"I added

"im not hungry"he said

"well I don't give a damn, your eating"I wasn't going to loose another member of our gang, especially Pony

Pony gave me a funny look with his eyes and for the first time I realized just how young Ponyboy was. I mean he was only fourteen years old and suffering through so much, I wonder what Pony would be doing right now if he lived in the country.. Away from murders and people dying, fights. Would he be healthy? Im sure of it. I could just imagine Pony living on a farm, tending horses and chewing on a piece of straw in his mouth. But that just wasn't the Pony I knew.

Ponyboys POV

Two-Bit had a thinking face on and was staring at me, but looking right through me.. I had to wave my hand in front of his face to knock him out of it. Then he got up and went over to the fridge taking out the last piece of chocolate cake and walking over to me.

"Eat"he said

"I cant" I replied

Believe me I would if I could, but I cant. From that piece of cake I had just last night I got a little bit sicker, I knew I shouldn't have eaten it. My medicine makes me not hungry but It was just so good.

"Before I shove it down your throat, eat it"he said a glare in his eye

"Two-Bit, I'll get sick"I said

"eating? When your more than half starved to death, it's gonna make you sick to eat?"he said, it did sound pretty lame but it was the truth

"I can still take the medicine"I said walking over to the counter and taking a pill out of a jar

"you sure? Darry said you had to take it with a meal"he protested

"but the medication I took last night made me not hungry already, and I have to take these twice a day"I said popping the pill in my mouth and swallowing it without water

"I don't know Pony.. This aint right"Two-Bit said looking down at the cake but then putting it back in the fridge

"trust me"I said

"id rather not eat than get sick again"

But my body did become very drained and it was hard to do anything that involved moving. Two-Bit kept giving me worried stares every time I stood up for too long and started to sway. I couldn't help it, the room just wouldn't stop spinning I felt like I was on a carousel or something, and it wont stop. I was standing up in the living room and Two-Bit was sitting down an watching tv when I started to sway again. Two-Bit noticed and got up immediately catching me just before I hit the floor.

"Pony what do you want me to do?"he asked

I just stared right now I was seeing two of him.

"Your too tired to even stand on two feet, and this damn medicine isn't helping either"Two-Bit said ferociously

He lifted me up and placed me down on the couch and then took a seat next to me, with a thinking look on his face.

"Were going to have to tell the doctor that he needs to find you different medicine. We cant have medicine that wont let you eat when your starved to death and need food"he took a look at me then added "and fast"

Now that I looked at myself more carefully my arms were very thin, my face was too and random bones on my body had started to stick out. Especially my ribs and collar bone, but I didnt know what to do.. I guess we did need to change my medicine.

Later that night

Two-Bit was still here and he was in the living room with Darry and Sodapop, they all thought I was asleep. But I was silently sitting down in the hallway listening to what they were talking about.

"Look ya'll I don't know if you've noticed or not but your brother is skin and bones"Two-Bit said and he sounded worried.

It was weird hearing this worried tone coming out of Two-Bit, he was usually never this worried about some one before. And that some one was me.

Soda and Darry were silent, so Two-Bit continued.

"You guys need to talk to that doctor about giving him medicine that allows him to eat"

there was a silent pause.

"Or your brother, my friend, Is going to die"

their was another pause and I felt my insides tighten. I don't wanna die.

I remembered Johnnys words.

"I don't want to die now, it aint long enough, sixteen years aint gonna be long enough"

I felt my throat get tight and my eyes started to fill up with tears. Fourteen years wasn't long enough. Not for me.

I got up to go back to my room and I guess I stood up a little too fast because the room started spinning again. I grabbed the wall to steady myself and made a banging noise when I grasped it, soon I saw Soda, Darry and Two-Bit looking at me.

"See"Two-Bit said

I was seeing doubles of all of them and the floor felt like it was crumbling beneath me, Soda grabbed me tight when I started to slide down the wall. It wouldn't stop spinning, it never lasted this long before and I was starting to get real scared. I just wanted to walk on firm ground, Soda and Darry were trying to talk to me but I couldn't hear them. I felt like someone was covering my ears, or it was like watching tv with the sound turned off. They all look panicked and I felt my eyes starting to go hazy and my head started to droop, it was too heavy to hold up. Darry picked me up and carried me to the couch, he placed me on it gently and Soda kneeled down next to me. His mouth was still moving buy I couldn't hear, he was stroking my heads but I couldn't feel him, pretty soon I blacked out.
