SODA'S POV
It was now Friday. Alex had gotten hit on Saturday. She was getting worse every day. I was in her room alone visiting her. She was awake, but barely.
"How are you feeling?" I signed.
"Not good. I need to tell you something." She signed.
"What is it?" I signed.
"The doctors say I might not live to see tomorrow." She signed, sadly.
My eyes widened and my heart sank. "So you're telling me that you're dying?"
She nodded. "I can't die. I want to live."
I noticed her eyes were getting glassy and a tear silently slid down her cheek. Followed by another and another.
"The doctors say I could be dead in a few hours. I'm not ready to die. Not yet." She signed.
"You're not going to die." I signed to her.
A few tears fell down my face. She couldn't die.
I left soon after I heard the news.
ALEX'S POV
I started to think about death. Did it hurt to die or did it feel like falling into a deep sleep? I wouldn't know until I died. Maybe I was going to die peacefully in my sleep.
I began to cry. I didn't want to leave my brothers or friends. I would miss them. Would any of them miss me?
The rest of the day seemed to go on forever.
NO POV
The Curtis's were on their way to the hospital with Dally, Two-Bit and Steve at 7:30. They hoped she wasn't dead yet. They wanted to see her one last time before she was gone. Especially Soda.
When they got there, Alex looked worse than before. She barely had any color in her. Her eyes closed, but she was breathing short breaths. She wasn't asleep. She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the six boys.
"Hi." She said slowly and barely understandable.
Everyone was surprised that she could talk. Her brothers forgotten she had taken speech therapy when she was a kid.
Soda quickly signed to his twin "I'm so glad I could hear your voice for the first time, Allie."
She smiled weakly.
"How are you feeling." Darry signed.
"Not to good. I feel awful." Alex signed.
"Don't worry. You'll feel better soon." Dally signed to her.
"I wish but I don't think so." She signed to him.
Alex then took a deep breath and quickly signed "I love you. I'll never forget you."
She let out her last breath and closed her eyes.
"Allie? Alex?" Soda said. He shook his twin gently.
When she didn't respond, he started to sob hysterically. Ponyboy started to cry. Darry stood there, fighting tears. Two-Bit, Steve, and Dally all looked horrifyed.
"I'll get the doctor." Dally said and bolted out of the room.
The three brothers thought they would never live to see this day.
Alexandra Curtis was dead.
That isn't the last chapter, don't worry. Virtual cupcakes to all that review.
Until next time...
:D
