Someone was laying on the gravel as the fuzz and gang surrounded the person looking at him. I went closer to see who it was but Soda grabbed me by the arm holding me close doing the same to Pony. I peeked to see my fake dad lying there. I looked away not wanting to see anymore. It was weird how I felt safe in his arms but I guess it was because he is my brother. We started heading back towards the house when we all heard this kind of thud sound. We all turned around seeing Pony on the grass. Soda, Darry, and I rushed over to him.
" He's passed out cold." I said.
" Call an ambulance Two-Bit." Darry commanded.
We all waited outside for the ambulance to come then rode in the back of it all the way to the hospital with Pony. The rest of the gang was trailing us in Dally's car.
Know I was sitting in the hospital's waiting room with Dallas and Two-Bit. When the doctor saw Steve he insisted on getting him fixed up. I thought I did a pretty good job on fixing him up myself. I was getting pretty bored waiting so I put my head in my hand and fell asleep.
" Val wake up."
I woke up by having my shoulder shakened.
" Uhh?"
" Pony's been wanting to see you."
I got up from the chair following Darry down the hall. Pony was laying on the hospital bed asleep. When the door opened he opened his eyes slightly and smiled weakly.
" Hi Val."
" Hi Pony. How you feeling?"
Once it came out of my mouth I knew it was a stupid question.
" Could be better."
The doctor came in to check on Pony.
" Oh Valley, hows your leg?"
" It's been better."
" Well remember to come in on Monday."
" Yah,Yah I will."
The doctor took Darry aside to tell him some news. I heard that Pony would be able to come home and that he would come over and check on him. The doctor left as we all sat there in silence. I was so tired I passed out.
