A/N: Sorry if these chapters might be boring. It's been years since I wrote for this story so I got to get back in the game.
Chapter 14 - Mr. Dad
Darry didn't even have to tell me to go straight to my room. I went straight to it. Right when I closed the door before I could lock it, it opened. I thought it was Ponyboy but it turned out to be Darry instead. I half rolled my eyes thinking of what lecture I'm going to get now.
" What happened with your foot?" Darry asked kneeling down to look at it.
I wanted to tell him not to worry about it and leave me alone but I felt like the pain was getting worse.
" It's my ankle." I mumbled.
" You twisted from last nite?"
" Yeah I tried to climb on some jungle climbing thing." I lifted up my pants and pulled my sock down. Damn my ankle was swollen like a rock and purple.
" That looks bad An." He said taking off my shoe and sock.
I knew the fight that happened was pushed behind us for a while, I know it will get brought back up but as long as there was no more fighting it was fine with me.
" Well we can't go to the doctor's, we don't have the money." I said.
Darry had half a grin on his face.
" The one thing mom and dad always cared about was our health. They covered our health services, so no won't really cost me anything, just a small tax pay."
" Well I don't need to go, just some rest." I said trying my hardest to sound calm. The thought of hospitals freak me out. I haven't stepped foot in one since mom and dad passed away.
" Oh yes ma'am you need to go. I don't want your ankle to fall off." Darry joked.
It was quiet for awhile.
" Darry I'm sorry." I said softly.
" We'll talk about it in the car on the way to the doc's. " He said patting me on the head.
" Damnit" I muttered.
" Get ready." He said getting up leaving my room.
