Chapter 25:
Mally POV:
It had been one whole month since I was kidnapped and mommy's and daddy's wedding was in two months. I couldn't wait for the wedding, mommy and daddy had made me the flower girl and Mason was the ring boy. Ever since I was kidnapped Mason and I weren't even allowed in the front yard without an adult but we could go in the back. Mason had become much more protective of me also, even though he is only about a year older than me.
"Mally, come and eat dinner!" mommy called.
"What's for dinner?" I asked, as I sat down at the table.
"Pizza." Mommy said as she put the pizza on the table.
"Where's daddy?" I asked as I grabbed my second piece.
"He had to stay at his office later today." Mommy said.
"Oh." Was my response. A few minutes later there was a knock on the door.
"I'll get it!" I yelled, mommy was cleaning dishes so it only made sense. I opened the door to see two officers standing in front of me.
"Hello young lady. Is your mommy home?" the lady officer asked. I nodded and yelled for mommy to come to the door.
"Hi how may I help you?" mommy asked.
"Are you Angie Shepard?" the man officer asked.
"Yes."
"We're gonna need you to come to the hospital."
"Why? What's going on?"
"Your husband has been in a car accident." The man officer said.
"What?"
"A drunk driver ran a red light and crashed into your husband's car." The lady officer said.
"Mally I want you to go get your coat and grab my wallet and my car keys off of my dresser ok?" she told me and I ran to do as I was told. Half an hour later we were in the hospital waiting to see how my daddy was and mommy was calling all my uncles. All that we knew was that the car accident had been a pretty bad one. The officers had told us that daddy's car had been flipped a couple times because of the speed that the other driver was going.
Darry POV:
The whole gang had come over for beer and everything except for Pony, Angie and Mally. Apparently Pony was working late and Angie had a lot of stuff to finish around the house. We were all laughing and having a great time when the phone rang.
"Hello?" I asked into the receiver.
"Darry?" it was Angie and she sounded like she was on the verge of tears.
"Yeah."
"You gotta get to the hospital."
"Why, what's going on?" I asked. everyone was still talking and laughing so it was a little hard to hear her.
"It's Ponyboy. He was driving home from work when a drunk driver ran a red light and smashed right into him. The officers said that because of the speed that the drunk was going it caused Pony's car to flip a couple times. We're not sure how bad off he is but it's gotta be bad cause none of the nurses wanna tell us anything." She said before breaking down into tears. My heart sank as soon as she said 'and smashed right into him.' This was all to familiar, these were the exact same words that I had heard from the cops when mom and dad died.
"We'll be there as soon as possible." I told her before hanging up. The gang had stopped talking and were waiting on me to fill them in. I turned around and knew how pale I must have gotten cause everyone looked scared and worried.
"What's wrong Dar?" Soda asked me. I hated this, I had to be the one to tell him and Pony when mom and dad died and I was in that position again telling that his little brother was in a car accident similar to the one our parents had.
"Honey? What's wrong?" Kayla asked.
"That… That was Angie. Sh… she said that um…"
"That what?" Dally asked.
"Pony's been in a car accident."
"What?!" Soda demanded.
"How bad?" Johnny asked.
"Angie said that all the cops told her was that the impact of the crash caused Pony's car to flip a few times." I told them before we all rushed out of the house and to the hospital.
