Where Have You Been All My Life?
AN: Oki doki! This is the 8th chapter of WHYBAML! Whoo-hoo. The story is coming to an end, and I have to admit that I'm gonna miss writing about the Outsiders. but I will, eventually, write another story about our favorite gang. If you have no clue what I'm talking about or why I'm not going to write another Ousiders story for awhile, then just go to my profile. It is all explained there. Well, on with Chapter 8!
Disclaimer: Not mine. All I have is Ann, Todd, and their parents. And the guy in the suit. But that's basically it.
WHAT BIG BROTHERS ARE FOR
Ann could not believe what was happening. Todd was back! Her brother was here, and when she needed him the most. Not only because she had no family besides him, but because the guy in the suit wanted to take Ann away. Said guy cleared his throat to get everybody to pay attention to him. Everyone ignored him, thinking that maybe he would just forget it and go away. He didn't.
"Excuse me, but I have some things to talk over with Miss Mele. so if you would all just wait outside--" the man was cut off by Tim.
"You wanna talk to Ann, then your just gunna have to deal with us, cuz we ain't going nowhere," Tim gave the man a dangerous look.
The man fiddled with his tie. "Okay then. Well, as I was saying before, you will be coming to the girls home as soon as the hospital lets you out and--"
This time the man was cut off by Todd and Curly, who said with matching alarmed faces, "What?"
Two-Bit chucked, "Get a load of this dumby. What's with the suit? He looks like a walking turd in that suit. And he ain't got much sense either. Thinks Ann's gunna go to a girls home. Ha!"
The man loosened his tie and gulped, "I'm authorized to take her in. She has no family and is forced to go to the girls home by law. I--"
Todd stopped theman once again, "What do ya mean she has no family? Who the Hell told you that bullshit? I'm her big brother and I'm gunna take care of Ann. That's final! Now get the fuck outa here!"
The man looked nervous, "I'm only doing my job and I can't just--"
Dally shot out of his seat and yelled at the guy, "You heard him! Get lost!"
The man started to quickly head out the door. He turned around, but only to be shouted at by Two-Bit, "Beat it Blondie! You ain't wanted here!"
That's when the man wimpered and ran out the room. Everyone was quiet, until Ann started laughing. Nobody was quite sure what she was laughing about.
In between laughs, Ann said, "Two-Bit, I think... I think that was the first time you ever... Ever told a blonde to get away from you."
Two-Bit grinned and said, "He wasn't really my type."
Everyone laughed some, and then Ann turned to Todd.
"What are you doing in Tulsa? When'd ya get here?" Ann asked.
"Well, I got your letter, and as soon as I could, I hopped on a few trains and made my way back home. And I just got to the Shepard's house a few hours ago. I wasn't sure were you were staying, so I thought I should start with them. Then they told me all about the burning church and showed me the article in the newspaper. I couldn't believe my eyes! My little sister, a hero!" Todd said with joy.
"I have a broken leg from a beam falling on it. I think I'm gunna get out of here soon. Todd, can you go and ask them all the specifics? They won't tell anybody anything important. Only family. They won't even tell me anything!" Ann told him.
Todd smiled and left the room to go ask a doctor questions. Angela stepped foward and looked Ann up and down.
"It's been awhile, Ann," She said.
"Yup. It sure has been, Angie."
"Well, don't think we're friends, cuz we aren't."
"That thought never crossed my mind, Angela."
Angela glared at Ann, becasue Ann had won one of Angela's little competitions. Angela used to always try to get the last word. That was only one little game though. Angela would always try to make anything and everything between herself and Ann a competition. It was slightly pathetic, but Ann enjoyed beating Angie at her own games. It was amusing for her. And Angela was still doing it, 2 years later.
Todd came back into the hospital room a few minutes later. He said that the doctor told him Ann would be out of the hospital in 3 days. She would have to go back to the hospital in a month so the doctor can check how her left and broken leg was doing. One thing Ann knew was that she would be drinking ALOT of milk until then.
The other thing she knew was that Todd was back and that he saved her from losing all her friends, new and old. I guess that's what big brothers are for.
AN: Yeah.. That's it for now. Ann will be out of the hospital in the next chapter. REVIEW! ... Please?
