Two-Bit POV
"Two-Bit?" I looked over at the door. There stood Darrel, Sodapop, and Kendra. Soda reached me first. He hugged me lightly.
"Hi Soda..." I said, hugging him back. He let go an Kendra was next. She hugged me and kissed my cheek. "Hi Ken." She didn't let me go. Darry grinned at me. I looked up at him. "Hey... Darrel." I whispered, thinking that he was still mad at me. Kendra pulled away.
"Are you okay?"
"No..." I said, truthfully, "My chest hurts like hell and it felt like I was being grinded against the bed... from a pressure on my chest... it felt horrible..." I guessed that Soda took notice to Darry's dace, cause he took Kendra and persuaded her to leave with him. She agreed only after she gave me a quick hug. They shut the door and I was alone with Superman. He sat down in a white plastic chair next to my bed.
"How are you?"
"Horrible... you?"
"I've been better..." he rubbed the back of his head, "That was a foolish thing for you to do..." he told me with finality.
"So...?"
"But... you did it for your sister..."
"You'd do tha same thing for Pony or Soda." I said. He chuckled.
"True. But... they can't get pregnant... unless there something I don't know about Ponyboy..." I chuckled at that one.
"Yeah..." I took a breath, then rubbed my chest. "Gosh, this hurts..."
"Two-Bit..." his voice shook, "They have to operate on you..."
"W...what?"
"If you want to... live..." He looked like he was going to cry. Man, he was acting more like a father than a friend.
"Darry..." I said, shaken that he had a few tears falling down his face. I haven't seen him in tears for a long time. "Don't worry..." He was wiping his tears away hurriedly. "If my mom is allowing the operation, I'm okay with it." He looked up at me. I smiled at him. "C'mon... be a big man." I flexed, making him crack a laugh, "At least you don't have ta wear a dress..." I looked down at the blue gown I was wearing over my boxers. "But if you wanna wear one, there's one in the cabinet... I think..." He was smiling. The doctor came in, with a clipboard. He looked professional. I grinned at him. "Heya, doc."
"Hello, Keith..." he greeted. I cocked an eyebrow, grinning at Darry. I had that look in my eye.
"Hey, doc, can you make Dar Dar here wear a gown-thingie too?" I asked, pointing to Darry. The doctor looked at Darry and smiled.
"Maybe it can be arranged..." he said, laughing. I like this doctor, he's weird. He walked over to the cabinet and took out a gown. I smiled as he handed it to Darry. Darry looked surprised. "Come on, son, put it on." I was laughing fully now, but kept it low. Darry looked at me.
"Only over my clothes." he said as he took it. He slid it on over his clothes; he looked so funny.
"It suits you, Dar." I said, grinning. He sat back down and looked at the doc.
"So... are you...?"
"We've got approval from his mother and sister." he said. What were they talkin' about? I just tried to smile and look pretty.
"I see... is it dangerous?"
"Unless his body rejects it, it's perfectly safe." Still, I had no clue what they were talking about.
"When will it begin?"
"As soon a possible. Of course, we have to put him to sleep." Still trying to smile and look pretty. Darry noticed and grinned.
"You look happy."
"Sure."
"So... if we can get Mr. Matthews on the roll away bed, we can get him to the operation room. " I hadn't noticed that a few nurses were in here too. Darry grew red, embarrassed that he was wearing the gown. He got up, gave me a quick hug, and stood aside. One nurse came to me with a needle.
"Ooooh... needle..." I said, grinning.
"Good luck Two-Bit." Darry said. I gave him a thumbs up as the nurse gave me the shot. In a few moments, Darry became blurry. They were moving me to a roll away bed, I didn't feel it. The pain stopped and I closed my eyes. I heard a muffled sound, like wheels rolling and knew I was moving. Then, I blacked out.
