SODA'S POV
I was staring at the lifeless form of my twin Alex. My vision blurred and tears started to silently fall down my cheeks. One by one. Pony kept on saying it was his fault that Alex was here. He said that she wanted to go for a walk and he let her leave. He said he should have gone with her. And I kept on telling him it wasn't his fault.
"It is my fault. If I didn't let her take a walk then none of this would've happened." Pony had said when I told him it wasn't his fault for the fifth time.
We didn't know how she was. Only that she was in pretty bad shape. Me and Pony were sitting in plastic hospital chairs in Alexandra's room. They were really hard. A third chair was next to me. It was empty. It was Darry's. He was talking to the doctors now. It was the first time any of us left her bedside all day.
Suddenly, the opened and Darry walked in. He was really upset. I could tell. He sat down in the plastic chair and it seemed like hours until he finally spoke.
"She's lost alot of blood. She broke a few ribs when the car hit her. She has a concussion and she could be in a coma right now. She pretty broken." Darry's words hit us.
"Is- is she gonna live?" I asked, all choked up.
"Guys, the doctors say that there is a seventy five percent she's not going to wake up."
Now there was a longer silence. This time it was heavy. Alex might not live. My twin might not even live to see next week or tomorrow for that matter.
"What do you think of when you think of Alex?" I asked.
"Nice, talented." Darry said.
"Laughter." I said.
Alex loved to laugh. Her eyes sparkled when she did. Her laugh was so contagious. And she had this great smile that could make anyone smile. Just like me.
The hospital floor grew blurry and tears ran down my face. I looked up and saw Darry and Ponyboy crying. Darry...I thought I never would live to see the day he cried. I suddenly had the feeling she was going to wake up soon.
"She's going to wake up soon...I can feel it." I said through my tears.
Suddenly there was a slight stirring in the bed.
"Your right. She is waking up!" Darry said.
Her eyelids opened and revealed frightened eyes.
I signed to her. "Alex, your alive."
She gave a faint smile. She signed "I love you."
I smiled back at her and stroked her long hair and I watched as she closed her eyes and fell back to unconsciousness.
