Chapter 6
--
After breakfast, and after I got dressed, Me,Pony, and Two-Bit headed over to the hospital to visit Johnny and Dal. I sat on the bench waiting for the bus,watching Pony and Two-Bit engage in a conversation that was probably best to stay out of. We normally never took the bus over, we could afford it, we usually just liked walking, even if the bus was quicker.
As soon as we walked into the hospital, I stiffened up and got very nervous. I never liked hospitals. They always made me nervous. I could tell Pony didn't like them either. His face was turning really white.
As we made our way down the long, narrow hallway, I gripped Ponyboy's hand, squeezing it tighter as we walked down the hallway. As we got to Johnny's room, I didn't know what to expect.
I thought maybe it'd be nicer than what I'd thought. But one look around the room, and I knew I was wrong. His room wasn't filled with get well cards, or balloons, or flowers, like I'd expected. There were only two cards. One from the gang, and one from the kids he saved. Other than the very small vase of flowers, and the cards and hospital stuff, nothing was in his room.
It was weird seeing Johnny in a hospital. I didn't know which was weirder, seeing Johnny in the hospital, or seeing Two-Bit looking serious. If I didn't know that it was Johnny, I would've never believed what I was seeing.
His skin was burnt, and was blistering. It wasn't a very pretty sight, but then again, no one was pretty in the hospital. I looked towards Johnny, and tried to not cry.
"Hi" I whispered so quietly, I didn't even know I was speaking.
"Ponyboy, the book...can you get another one?" Two-Bit and I look towards Pony direction, not knowing what Johnny wanted.
"He wants a copy of Gone With The Wind, so I can read it to him." Pony explained.
"I'll get him one." Two-Bit said, as he went down to he hospital gift shop. When Two-Bit left the room I walked over to the edge of Johnny's bed. He was barely awake. I touched his face lightly, and watched, as he didn't even flinch.
"Johnny," I said softly, tears forming in my eyes. "Johnny. Johnny, don't die, Johnny, not now. We need you. We can't get along without ya Johnnycakes. No one can. Not me, or Pony or Soda, or Darry, Two-Bit and Steve, or even Dallas. Hell, 'specially Dallas. We need you. Please Johnny,don't die."
Pony gave a glare towards me, half sad, half angry. " Dammit Misty, Johnny, won't die."
"I hope so, Pone. I hope so." I said sadly. I wanted to believe Pony, but I knew Johnny wasn't going to ever be he same, and that he probably wasn't going to get better. I gave Johnny a kiss on the cheek, right after that the nurse came, and told us to leave.
Mrs. Cade was out in the hallway, yelling some sort of crap at us, the nurse, and some of it was at Johnny. The three of us, were all mad at Mrs. Cade, and we knew part of this was her and Mr. Cade's fault. Pony, and I watched, as Two-Bit was telling Johnny's mom off, and told her to go straight to hell.
After visiting Dallas the three of us stopped by the DX for some Pepsi's, and then headed home.
---------
Rumble day's were always exciting, and everyone was always tensed up. Darry, and Sodapop both had the afternoon off, and use it so that they could get ready for the rumble. On rumble days, we we all had our own way of showing our greaser pride. All the guys would wear their tuffest clothes, and put lots of extra grease on their hair. Steve would usually come over and him and Soda would play some games, and then they'd just do a lot of acrobatic stunts, while the others horsed around.
Girls weren't usually in the rumbles. I've been in the past few, however. Then again, I wasn't exactly defined as a "greaser girl". Normally, most greaser girls would put on their skimpiest clothes, and go out and be the dirty minds that they are. The more "politer" greaser girls would usually sit on top of cars and watch the rumble, cheering for their boyfriend,family member, brother's, etc.
I was planning on fighting in it tonight, however Darry had different plans.
"Mist, Pony, I don;t want the two of ya fighting tonight. You've both been/are sick, and I don't think neither of you should fight."
It didn't really bother me as much as it did to Pony. I could hear Pony begging Darry, to let him fight.
"Please Darry, I'll be fine! I ain't sick!" Darry gave in and let him go to the fight. I was gonna beg him too. But Justin came in and had completely different plans for tonight.
"Hey Mist"
I grinned towards Justin and said playfully, " Ya finally gonna join in the rumble?"
"Nope. Neither are you." I eyed at him confused, as he waited for Darry to leave, before he explained.
"There's this really tuff party on the edge of town. Me, my sister, and Dani are going. Hopefully, you to. It's supposed to be the biggest one of the year. Ya in?"
"I don't know.. I don't think I'm supposed to leave..the house"
"Shoot, Darry said not to go to the rumble, but this ain't a rumble."
"yea, but still.." I was unsure of what to do. " Wait, you got Dani to go?" I was shocked that she was going to a big "bad" greaser party.
He kept staring at me "Are you in?"
"Well...I guess.." He grinned, as we headed out the door to the party. It felt weird not tellin Darry where I was goin, but I was hoping it'd be worth it.
