Hospital

"This is Brookhaven hospital calling for a Mr. Darrel Curtis?"

"This is he." A grunt voice replied. "What happened? Is everything ok?"

"We have a Ponyboy Curtis here. I'm sorry is there a mistake that can't possibly be his real name." The man's heart jumped in his chest.

"YES that's his real name I'm his guardian. Is he okay?"

"We need permission to do surgery on his back. He was burnt in a fire and we want to see if we can do anything before it starts to scar. Also we need you to come down to the hospital to fill out some forms." Darrel grabbed hold of the wall.

"Do the surgery... We'll be right down." Darrel slapped the phone back on the hook and yelled for his younger brother Sodapop.

As Soda ran into the hallway, he saw Darrel standing there with tears in his eyes. "Darry please say they found him and he is okay." Darrel just shook his head.

"We need to go to the hospital now come on and hurry up." He grabbed the keys to his truck and flew out the door with Soda in tow.

Hospital/ Ponyboy's POV

I could feel myself being rolled around on a stretcher. "Hurry up give him some Plasma" I tried opening my eyes. "Johnny? Did Dally get Johnny out in time?" I can't remember if I said it out loud or not.

"Hang on kid. Take a deep breath." A voice said. I think it was Dally but I couldn't be to sure. Everything seemed kinda tunnel vision. I couldn't fell anything, it was like I was floating on a cloud.

"Dally? I think Ima go say hi to Mom and Dad. I feel tired, like I am not really here anymore. I'll tell them everyone says hi." I closed my eyes and I could feel like I was not in my body anymore. I looked down and I saw these two EMT trying to get my heart rythm back in time it was going very slow. Almost as if I was dying. I could vaguely see the outline of my father reaching down towards me. His lips were moving and he was trying to say something. The closer I got the more I could understand him.

"Ponyboy! You need to go back, you're brother's need you so does your friends. We love you, your mother and I. We will see you when It's your time, and now is not it." I could feel tears running down my face as I got send back to my body.

"He's stablizing. Kid can you hear me? Squeeze my hand if you can." I squeezed the hand and heard a sigh of what I believe was relief. "You'll be okay kid, I'll make sure of it."

"M-my name is P-Ponyboy. Can you call my brothers for me?" I felt someone put a mask on my face. "Will do Ponyboy, you just hold on." I started to drift again but this time I felt nothing. Just felt there.

Soda's POV

When we showed up at the hospital i was bouncing off the wall. I was excited that they found Ponyboy but I was also worried that he was seriously hurt. They doctors said it wasn't life threating but it still was bad..

Darry was about as worse as I was, he kept looking at the clock, running hias hand through his hair. "Darry, do you want me to go get you some coffee? I could go get us a cup?" he looked at me bouncing up and down,.

"Pepsi, I really don't think you need the coffee, but sure I can go for a cup. I don't know how long we will be here. I'm almost done with this paper work, then I'm going to go see how they are doing with Ponyboy."

I got up and I went to the Cafeteria and got a coffee, and two pepsi's. Then I ran back to the waiting room, trying not to spill the coffee. I looked around for Darry but I did't seem him at all, so I went to the nurses station.

"Excuse me ma'am? Do you happen to know where Darrel Curtis went to? He was the man sitting over there doing paperwork." the nurse looked up at me and smile a sweet gentle smile.

"You must be his other brother, he is in room 213, Ponyboy just came out of surgery. Go down that hallway and take the first right you see. Have a nice day." She went back to writing on some charts.

"Thank you ma'am you have a nice night." I jogged down the corridor and turned into Ponyboy's room, Darry was sitting next to the bed and he was rubbing Ponyboy's hair. "Here you go Dare, Got you a hot coffee black, and Pony and myself a Pepsi for when he wakes up." Darry looked at me and took the coffee, and smiled softly.

"Well good news soda, Doctors say Ponyboy will be able to use his legs and his back wasn't that bad, he had wood shavings that they need to remove before they got infected. He is recovering and starting to come back to us." As soon as he said that Pony let out a small whimper and opened his eyes just to shut them agianst the light.

"T-to b-bright." he managed to spit out. Darry reached over and turned off the lamp and hit the nurse call botton. I smiled and went to give him a hung but Darry stopped me. I went closer and squeezed his hand.
