Chapter 15: Darry's Brother's White Hospital Room;
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I do not own "The Outsiders" or any of the Curtis' Gang. :( Sad. The real owner of "The Outsiders" is my favorite author, the fabulous S.E. Hinton. I also do not make a profit from the stories that I write here on this site.
A/N: If you like it, love it, or even if you hate it, you know what to do. Tell me in a review. I would love it if you favored, followed, and/or if you gave me (a) suggestion(s). Thank you. :)
Little kissing scene, nothing to bad, but just be forewarned :)
Steve's POV
Darry was still in Ponyboy's room, so I took it upon myself to keep a passed out Soda company. And Evie. She came for, 'emotional support' or some other crap she had called it. But I was happy that she was here.
The next few days I spent with my buddy before he was shipped off to a foreign country to fight a stupid war would be spent in a boring, white hospital room.
Some goodbye party, huh, Sodapop? I thought humorlessly.
"Hey," Evie announced softly, grabbing my face to make me look in her eyes. "He'll be okay, the doctors even said so."
Because I so trust doctors and figures of authority.
She kissed me softly on the lips, the feeling of her warm lips lingering. I wrapped my arm around her and kissed her again. Her lips were warm and soft, like her, but the kiss was passionate.
"Mm... Ahem." Darry cleared his throat behind us. Evie jumped and then laughed breathlessly, a shy, embarrassed smile playing on her lips.
"Am I interrupting your make-out session in my brother's hospital?" He asked, cocking an eyebrow and smirking at our embarrassment.
"Sorry, Dar-Bear," I apologized. He mock-glared at me, but he barley managed playful. He just looked like a tired, overworked kid.
"Has he woken up at all?" Darry asked. "Or were you too busy making out?"
Evie sighed. "I think that my cue to leave." She kissed my cheek and grabbed her jacket before exiting the hospital room.
I almost yelled at Darry, but I watched him run a hand over his face and groan. He was stressed out, we all were, but he had two brothers in the hospital, so I decided to cut him some slack.
"He hasn't woken up yet, no," I informed him.
"Pony's be askin' for him. That kid was so drugged up I'm surprised he even remembered he had a brother," Darry chuckled hollowly.
Huh. Ponyboy Curtis high. What a concept.
"Between the gang and I and you, there'll always be someone in each of their rooms in case they wake up. Don't worry so much, Darry, we got it covered," I assured him. He smiled in relief.
I heard Dallas chuckle behind me. "Boy, somebody mark the date down, Stevie-boy's gettin' sentimental."
"Cut it out, Dal," I snapped at the same time Darry said he owed me one.
"Ain't that what I'm good for?" I grinned.
A/N: No more writers block! :) I hope to update Needle soon too! :)
