Disclaimer: even though I wish I did, I sadly do not own the outsiders

Hey guys guess what I'm not dead! Sorry writers block took over all my stories I have an idea with this one though! Well, with that said on with the show!

Chapter 5 (wow I thought it was chapter 2)

"Soda grab the car keys. Now! We have to go to the hospital!" Darry barked while picking me up and placing me in the back of the truck.

A few seconds later the gang piled in and we rushed off to the hospital.

X.X.X.X.X.X

Darry rushed in Tulsa General not bothering to wait for the rest. He ran to the desk and said in a panicky voice, "Help please my little brother needs a doctor!"

"Please sir calm down, I will get Dr. Garret in the meantime fill out these papers" she gave him the stapled packet and a pen and ran off.

he sat down placed pony on a chair and started filling in the paper.

Patient Name: Ponyboy Michael Curtis

Patient Age: 14

Guardian Name: Darrel Shayne Curtis Jr

Guardian Age: 21

When he was finished he noticed the gang was there. He searched for Soda and saw him pacing. He stopped when the double doors opened showing a doctor. The doctor stepped out and said, "Curtis Family?"

We stood up and followed him to Pony's room. We stopped at a room with a wooden door with the numbers 324 on the top. The doctor opened the door and walked in with us following.

"Hello, my name is Dr. Garret. Now we have done tests but, we haven't got the results yet."

"What do you think is wrong?" Soda asked frightened for his brother

"we just think it is the common flu going around but it could be something else."

We were talking for a few moments when a knock was at the door. A nurse came into the room with papers in her hands.

Dr. Garret took the papers and read them. He then looked up and said, "It's nothing too serious just the common flu, like I said. Just let him rest and give him fluids. He sould be better by Tuesday."

"Thank you doctor." Darry said relieved that it wasn't serious

*time skip* next morning

Ponyboy came in then kitchen and sat at the table. Darry placed a plate of eggs on the table in front of pony and said, "only eggs today ok lil colt?"

"Yeah thanks superman."

A few minutes later the door slammed open and closed and opened again. Then the noise every morning came. The gang came in turned on the tv, radio and anything else noisy.

Two- bit and Steve came in the kitchen fighting over something idiotic, like always. Two-bit ruffled Pony's hair and searched for a beer.

After break feast Ponyboy went in the living room and snuggled on the couch watching Mickey Mouse. He suddenly shivered.

"Hey Pone you cold?" Soda

He nodded and Soda threw a blanket at him. he wrapped himself in it and drifted off to sleep.

When he woke up he started coughing, and coughing badly. He coughed on his hand and saw a red substance. It was crimson red, the same color as blood. This was definitely not the common flu!
