Chapter 6 "Some even fall to earth"

I knocked, and I walked in when I heard a light, "Come in."

"Hey, Johnnycake, how are ya doin'?" I asked, even though I already knew the answer.

I pulled up a chair to his hospital bed, "I'm doing alright."

"Glad to hear," I say cheerfully.

"I can't wait to get out of here, though," Johnny said.

"I know, you will soon, Dally said that the doc said you will be able to leave in a few days," I told him.

He smiled, "Good, because I don't know how much longer I can take this hospital food, it's disgusting."

I laughed, it's rare to have Johnny say something like that.

"So you're doing alright, huh? Do you remember anything?" I asked.

"Um….what do you mean?" Johnny asked.

"I mean, do you remember anything that happened to you?"

"No not really," Johnny said quietly.

"Come on, you have to remember something," I said.

"Well I don't."

"Alright, sorry, I didn't mean to make you mad."

"It's alright-it's fine, I just don't want to talk about it," Johnny said.

"Yeah, I know, sorry I brought it up."

Even through it's the reason why you're in the hospital, I thought.

It was quiet for several minutes before Johnny asked, "So how's the gang?"

"Fine, I haven't seen Ciara for a while, but she's probably with Emmanuel, or Tyler somewhere. I haven't seen Scar either, but she told me that she would be helping out her siblings with the house."

"Good….do they think my ole man did this to me?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah, why? Isn't that what happened," I asked, a little concerned that he was worried about that.

"Not exactly," Johnny whispered.

So he did know what happened, I thought, then he better tell me.

"Well, speak up, what happened?" I asked a little too eagerly.

"It wasn't my ole man that beat me."

"Then who was it?" I asked.

"It was yours."

"What?!" I yelled.

"Ray, calm down, I'm fine, see I'm alive."

"That doesn't matter…..well it does but-UGH! How could he do this to you?!" I yelled.

"Ray, first calm down," Johnny commanded.

"Okay," I paused, "I'm calm now. Tell me everything that happened. Did he tell you anything?"

"No not really, he didn't tell me anything, he just….did it."

"How dare he! How could he do this to you? I hate him, I just hate him so much! Why would he do this, it's like he doesn't care about anyone-which he doesn't but still! He shouldn't take his anger out on you, if he should hate anyone it should be me. And he does, he absolutely hates me, so why you? I just don't get it, he-"

I was interrupted by Johnny piercing my lips with his. I was shocked at first, but I gave in and kissed him back. We separated several seconds later.

We looked at each other, then I said, "You now, you could have just said stop talking."

"Yeah, but you weren't going to listen to me. I had to stop you somehow," he said grinning at me, and I cracked a smile.

"I still hate him," I said.

"Don't you dare start up again, or I'll do it again," Johnny warned.

"Well, will it be bad if I say, I want it to happen again?" I asked.

"No," he said flatly, "cause I do too."

I smiled and said lightly, "Good." Before I kissed him on the lips again.

The kiss lasted a whole minute, which for me is long, especially since it was my first. We then talked for a half hour before I said, "Do you want me to get food from the cafeteria?"

"Can you get food from the DX, or something, I can't stand another night with their food."

"Okay, I'll be back," I said.

I walked to the DX, and I was able to get free food from Soda and Steve, for me and Johnny. Then I walked back to the hospital. I walked to Johnny's room to find a nurse taking Johnny's blood pressure.

She left and we ate in silence. "This is for sure better, than hospital food," Johnny commented.

"Yeah it is," I said.

"How do you know?"

"Excuse me, but I been in a few hospitals myself," I said.

"I bet," Johnny laughed.

"You calling me clumsy?" I asked, acting offended.

"No, well, maybe," Johnny teased.

"Oh, shut up," I said, playfully.

I left at 7 when it was getting dark, tomorrow was Friday, so I was planning on coming back to see Johnny. I saw Ocean at school the next day, we talked at lunch, and I told her what happened at the hospital between me and Johnny.

I did go to the hospital after school, and Johnny was sleeping. So I sat there watching the TV in his room, and reading comics that Pony brought in for him. I woke up when I was half way through the comic.

"Hey," he mumbled, and smiled weakly.

"Hi, nice to see you are finally awake," I said.

"The doc said I get to leave today," Johnny said.

"Really?! That's great!"

"Dally's coming to pick me up, were going to surprise the gang."

"Oh, they'll be surprised alright!" I said, rolling on the nurse chair towards the bed, "So…just to make this clear, you know what happened yesterday, right?"

"What do you mean, what happened yesterday?" Johnny's face turned serious.

"You mean you don't remember?" I asked, starting to panic.

"Remember what?" Johnny asked, with a confused look on his face.

"Great just, great, you don't remember do you?" I got up from my chair.

"Ray-"

"I can't believe this…." I started.

"Ray-"

"Maybe, I dreamed it, yeah that's it…"

"Ray-," Johnny yelled.

"What?" I asked, and turned towards him.

"I remember, I was just joking," he said.

I took the extra pillow from the chair and hit him with it, "How dare you lie to me," I teased.

He blocked the hits with his arms, "Stop," he pleaded, while he laughed.

"Never," I refused.

He took the pillow from me and threw it across the room.

"You're no fun," I yelled and crossed my arms.

"I'm okay with that," Johnny said.

I 'pouted' and sat back down in the chair.

"I was joking," Johnny told me.

"I don't care," I pouted.

Dally came over a little later, around 3, and Johnny got dressed. Then we left the gang were back at my house, so me and Dally walked in first, and Johnny stayed behind.

"Hey guys," Pony greeted.

Dally nodded his greeting and I did too.

"What took so long?" Steve asked.

"We went by the hospital to see Johnny," I said.

"Really?! How is he?" Soda asked, getting the rest of the gang's attention.

"He's alright," Dally said.

"We have a surprise for you guys," I said as a smile appeared on my face.

"What is it?" Two-bit asked getting excited.
