When I could see clearly once again, I was in a bright green room. But there was no sight of Darry. I looked over to my side, though, and saw Soda sleeping on a bed. Are we in the hospital? I thought to myself. I was still confused as to how we got here, but mainly worried about Darry. He could have been the most severely hurt out of all of us, just because I couldn't wrap my arm around him.
"Psss, Soda, wake up!" I whispered.
"Huh?" Soda responded, still rubbing his eyes from the bright lights.
"I think we're in the hospital."
"Why?"
"I'm not sure, but I think we got into a car accident" I paused for moment, "do you know where Darry is?"
"No, how would I know?"
I turned back and stared at the ceiling. So, this is what it's like staring at a different ceiling? I wondered.
A nurse suddenly walked in, followed by a doctor, coming to see if we were awake. At least I was, Soda wanted to go back to sleep.
"Oh, you're awake!" the nurse exclaimed.
"Do boys know how you got here?" the doctor asked.
"Uh, no, not really" I answered anxiously.
"What happened?" Soda blurted out immediately.
"Well, you got in a car accident, and were brought here, but you boys weren't hurt too bad, just a couple of bruises and scratches." the doctor began.
"Another boy was with you, the one driving, who was that?" the nurse asked
"Our brother, Darry! Is he okay?" I asked, excited to hear how he was.
The nurse looked away to the doctor, gritting her teeth nervously.
"I'm sorry boys, but… he… he has a severe concussion, and he's still sleeping" the doctor hesitantly said.
I gasped and looked at Soda.
"Will he be okay?" Soda asked, fumbling with his gown.
"We don't know yet, but anyways, there are two guys outside by the names of Steve and Two-Bit, do you know them?" the nurse asked.
"Yeah, let them in" Soda immediately answered.
The door burst open, and Two-Bit rushed over to me with Steve to see how we were doing.
"Are y'all okay? What happened? Where's Darry?" Two-Bit spit out questions at me and Soda.
"Yes we're fine, we just got in a car accident. Darry's got a concussion and hasn't woken up yet." I replied.
"Can we go visit Darry?" Steve asked the doctor.
"Well, I guess so, but only because you are his family."
"Can they come too?" Two-Bit asked motioning towards us.
"No, they need to get some rest, at least for 5 days, and then we can send them home."
"Alright, fine" Two-Bit said.
"We'll go visit him and come back with the news, see y'all" Steve yelled on his way out.
"Thanks, Steve" Soda hollered as loud as he could, but we were both still weak.
