Soda's POV

As I slammed down the phone and ran out to grab the nearest doctor, an immense wave of pain shot from my hand and coursed through my entire body. I fell to the ground as a nurse and doctor rushed forward, helping me up and asking me what was wrong. "My brother! He flatlined! Gah!" I was cut off by another wave of pain as I let out a yell, quickly biting my tongue afterwards. I led them to Ponyboy's room as the doctor quickly grabbed a set of defibrillators from the wall and followed me in. As I slammed into the room, I saw Ponyboy's face already turning a sickly shade of white. "Doctor" I screamed, "Hurry!" As the doctor nervously charged the paddles and slammed them down violently on Ponyboy's cold skin, yelling "Clear!" as the nurse held back a screaming Darry, Two-Bit and the rest of the gang, who had just arrived. The doctor slammed the paddles into Pony's frail body over and over again, to no avail. As I screamed his name over and over, I couldn't believe it. My little brother was dying right in front of me. I screamed "Damn it Pony! Don't die on me!" just as the paddles slammed down on Pony's cold body, his body shook and his eyes fluttered open. "S-soda? Wha's goin' on? " He mumbled groggily. "Pony!" I shouted, as I embraced him in a tight hug hoping to never lose him again, as I heard shouts of, "He's alive" coming from the gang, who were all just beyond the doors. "Soda, I feel so numb, and what I can feel, I wish I couldn't." Pony whispered. I heard all the pain in his voice, and I felt like crying for the little guy. I hadn't cried since mom and dad died, and even then, I hid when I did. I needed to stay strong for Pony. "Don't you worry one bit Pone. You're alright, and that's all that matters. Just go to sleep for a little while, and I'll be right here when you wake up. We all will. Darry, the gang, everyone." "Alright." Pony said, as he slipped back into sleep, a satisfied smile on his face.

Soda's POV

As I sat next to Pony, who was still sleeping peacefully, occasionally stirring in his sleep, tangling his IV cords. As I stood up to untangle the mass of cords that he had wrapped around himself once again, the doctor walked in with a serious expression. "Mr. Sodapop Curtis, I have some information regarding your brother." A shiver went up my spine as I jumped upward. "What do you mean by that doc? Is my little brother alright?" I nervously asked. "We checked his vitals and injuries, and he seems to be in a stable condition, but there is one thing about your brother that we regret to inform you about, Mr. Curtis."
