Yes, it's been awhile since I've updated, but I've been super busy. I would like to say that I am sorry if the characters are a little OC sometimes, but it's called FanFiction for a reason…

Chapter 8: The Great Escape

Ella/Kate's POV

I sat in my room bored out of my mind. I've never been so bored, ever. The nurses and doctors come and go, always giving me dirty looks every time.

I wish Ponyboy would come and visit me, even though the last time he did he got mad, but that's okay, he didn't mean it. He was just mad that he got shot, that's all. Soon he would realize that he loves me as much as I love him.

"Hello, Miss."

"Hello? Who are you?"

"Officer Black. I am here to escort you to the jail." Jail? I didn't want to go there. If I did I would never be able to see Ponyboy again…

"Do I have to Officer?" I asked.

"Yes you do ma'am. I'm sorry, but you are a wanted criminal."

I decided it was best to go willingly. So I got up and let the officer cuff me and escort me from my room. We walked out through the lobby and Ponyboy was standing there.

Pony's POV

I had gone for a walk with Soda and when we made it to the lobby, Kate was being escorted out of the hospital by an officer who seemed repulsed to be so close to her.

When she saw me, her face lit up.

"Ponyboy, oh Ponyboy!" she screamed and everyone turned to look at me. I stared dead ahead at her. She waved like an idiot. I looked away and saw Soda clench his fists. While Kate left the hospital screaming my name hysterically, Soda and I turned and left to go back to my room. I felt sick and relieved at the same time.

Ella/Kate's POV

Why didn't Pony wave back to me? Was he still mad? I needed to know. I couldn't go anywhere with Ponyboy mad at me….

I stopped walking in the middle of the parking lot and the officer walked into me.

"Ma'am, please keep walking." He said while nudging me forward.

"I'm sorry officer." I said.

"Well, it's okay, just keep walking." He must have misunderstood me.

I brought up my left foot and slammed it down on his foot, and as I planned, he released his hold on me. I whirled around on him. I found a week spot in the handcuffs and used it took free my wrists.

By now, the cop figured out I was trying to break away and he drew his weapon.

"Awe! How cute! You think you're going to shoot me." I squealed and lunged at him. I got his gun and held it to his head. He reached for his radio to call for help.

"Uh huh. I don't think so." I said and I shot him. I turned and ran.

Read and review! I want to thank Glee Clue Rock 1251: thank you for offering to help me! :)
