Chapter 17

Angels POV

I woke up to Darry, Soda, Pony and Mason around me I was a bit confused but I realized why I was in the hospital for. I was shot from behind.

"How long was I out and were Steve I want to talk t him." I was saying

"About 8 hours and I'm right here." Steve said coming into the room

"Can I talk to him alone please?" I asked everyone

"Sure." Darry said as everyone but Steve left the room.

"Hey Steve I wanted to thank you for saving me and being there for Soda and everyone else." I said

"No problem." He said

"So when do you think that they'll let me out of this place?" I asked with a laugh

"I don't know." He started then he added "maybe never they seem to like you here."

We both started laughing so hard the doctor came in to see what was going on.

Darry's POV

As everyone went back into the room I was stopped by Dr. Collins.

"Darry can I talk to you it's about Angel." He said

"Sure what is it?" I asked

"There is no way to tell you this but Angel may never walk again." He said as I looked in on my sister in that hospital bed.

"So you mean that even though everyone though Johnny may never walk again and he was able to because of therapy Angel may never get to do that." I said in disbelief.

"Well we could try one or two sessions but it may not work for her." He said

"NO we'll just let her know she may never walk again." I said trying not to cry while I thought about Angel on her wedding day being pushed down the isle in a wheel chair.

"Angel everyone I have some news." I said once I went back into the room.

"What is it Darry." Angel asked me

"There is no easy way to say this to you Angel but you may not be able to walk again." Then I heard her crying and I told everyone to leave even Soda I told him to go home and get her bed ready.

"Darry I don't want to be in a wheel chair even if it kills me." She said

"Angel I know that it's had for you but that's what life nay throws at you at times but I will carry you to the car and I'll get you a wheel chair for school use only. Is that ok with you." I said

"Ok Darry can we go now please I hate this place." She said

"Yes we can do you want to go out to dinner?" I asked her

"No I just want to go home." She said as she looked at me though those eyes that make you wan to cry when they look as glassy as they do right now.
