Ponyboys POV
I woke up to a bright light in my face, I was confused about what was going on, until I remembered the surgery. Then I thought that that bright light might mean that.. im dead? I freaked. I guess I started whimpering because someone came next to me and told me to relax and that I was alright.
"Easy kid, you know you might have forgotten things, but your mind is still there somewhere.. So what was this nightmare about Ponyboy?"a sarcastic voice met my ears
I looked at the kid in front of me. I forgot his name.
"I wasn't having a nightmare, I thought I died"my voice sounded strange
"well it would have been no surprise if it was a nightmare"
"why's that?"
"Cause you always have one, ever since you were little. It drove me crazy, Soda was always worried about you.. They even brought you to a psychiatrist once"I was getting evil vibes from this kid, I don't think he liked me much.. I wonder what I ever did to him?
Soda? Was that one of my brothers? I think the handsome one.. I think.
"What was your name again?"I asked timidly, this kid gave me the creeps.. I didn't like being alone in the room with him
"Jesus kid, your memory really blows doesn't it?"
I shrugged
"my names Steve"he said in a pissy way
I wanted some one to come in the room.
"Where is everybody?"I asked softly
"Sodapop went to get some food, he'll be back soon"
good.
"Is that one my brother?"
"Psh, Yeah and my best friend"
well sorrrrrry.
Right then that handsome kid came walking in my room, no his name is Soda. Sodapop. He looked happy to see me, it made me wanna smile, this kid was always happy looking. I tried to flash him a smile but my lips were too bruised and it hurt to move them so I just laid there instead.
"Hey Ponyboy!"Soda said coming next to my bed
"hi"I said quietly
My body was starting to ache and I suddenly didn't feel too hot, I wanted to sleep to make the pain go away.
"You alright?"my brother asked nervously
"I don't think so"I said truthfully
Then a shot of pain surged through my body, I couldn't move, couldn't think, all I could think about was the pain. My whole body stiffened and I shut my eyes tight, their was a ringing in my ears that grew louder. I clenched my jaw shut and gripped the blanket tightly. Some ones hand met mine and I grabbed it, digging my fingernails into the persons palms.
"Calm down, Pony what's wrong? You need me to call a doctor?"Sodas voice met my ears
I couldn't talk because my jaws were clenched shut tight, instead I squeezed his hand harder, I didn't want him to leave me. In a few more seconds the pain died down and I loosened a bit, I finally let go of Sodapops hands. They were a little black and blue from me squeezing so hard. My teeth felt like they were gonna fall out and I was covered in a cold sweat. I had no clue what just happened.
"What was wrong?"Steve asked from the corner, he actually looked concerned
"I'm not sure"Soda answered
"you alright Ponyboy?"he asked soothingly
"now I am"my voice was hoarse
"you know what happened?"
"I don't know but a sudden pain sorta shocked through me, I couldn't move"my voice sounded scared
"it's alright, I'll ask the doctor about it later"I nodded
"hey ya'll!"another kid walked into the room, he sounded real happy
"hey pal"angry kid, no Steve, said to the boy
"how are ya Ponyboy? Any memories come back yet?"the boy asked cheerfully, his happiness made me sick. I wasn't feeling too hot.
I didn't remember this kids name either, I called him sideburns for now, I didn't feel like asking him his name.
"I'm fine"I said weakly
"you don't look it"he said, his face getting a little more serious
Soda looked from sideburns to me with a sympathetic look in his eyes, I liked Sodapop he seemed real easy to talk to.
"You don't think he's coming down with a fever now do you?"he sounded worried
"I don't know Sodapop"Sideburns answered
It was weird, they were talking about me like I wasn't in the room.
"I don't think I can handle him getting sick now too"Sodas voice broke a little and it made my heart sink. I didn't want to hurt this kid's feelings
A small pain came from my stomach I winced a bit, then pulled up my gown to see what was hurting me. I saw the stitches, it scared me, like metal imbedded in my skin. I guess that was from the surgery. I ran my fingers over my stitches carefully, tracing them and crying quietly to myself, the other boys didn't seem to notice. They were still talking about me like I wasn't in the room, I lost my memory, that doesn't mean im deaf. They all sounded worried, talking about how I looked feverish, now that they mention it I feel hot myself and my body was aching. Finally Sodapop walked over to me and placed a hand on my forehead. His hand felt like ice, either that or my head really was hot, Soda pulled his hand away cautiously.
"Oh man"he turned around and put his hands on tom of his head
"what's wrong?"Steve asked
"he's burning up, he might be real sick guys" I felt real bad for Soda, I wanted to remember, just for him.
I felt my eyes starting to droop with fever, I guess I really was sick.
"Hey Ponyboy, you wanna hear a story about your childhood, hell it might even jog your memory a bit"Sideburns walked over to me with a smile on his face, I couldn't say no
"sure"I said drowsily
"well it was the time we all had a sleep over at my place"Sideburns began
"aw, come on Two-bit"Steve groaned but Soda started laughing looking a little more happy
I made a mental note that Sideburns real name was Two-bit, I was gonna miss the name I came up for him.
"Anyway, see your parents were going away, out in the country somewhere to visit your Aunt Becky I think. Darry, you oldest brother went with your mom and dad, but you and Soda didn't want to go, so your mamma sent ya'll to stay with me at my house for a few days"
"which was a mistake"Steve butted in
"you were younger then Ponyboy, at least ten, Soda was thirteen and Steve came over with Soda for the heck of staying over. We stayed up real late that night but Steve finally fell asleep, never had been able to pull an all nighter. So we all decided to play a little prank on him, I got a womens bra and underwear, and we dressed him up in it. Now that alone was hilarious, but we needed to do something more, so we brought him to a drive in movie. Then we dumped him off their, he woke up after we started driving away and you should have seen how red he got. He walked the whole way home like that, people were calling him girl names for weeks"Two-bit was laughing hard right now
This I wish I remembered, but I didn't
Steve was red "I never forgave you for that Two-bit"he growled
"awe cheer up Steve-o"Two-bit said jokingly
Two-bits story only made me more depressed, I hadn't really realized that I had been good friends with these people. Suddenly I wanted to remember all the good times, the bad, I was a greaser. We fight against socs. I want to know the action the drama, everything that has ever happened. But I couldn't.
I felt real sick I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer and my body was covered in a cold sweat. I shivered uncontrollably but I was hot, real hot, I thought the bed was going to set fire I felt so hot.
"Jesus Ponyboy"Soda said
But he got blurry, and like my past he slowly disappeared.
How's that? Don't forget to review! Sorry it took me a while to update!
