I do not own THE OUTSIDERS - And thank you guys for the fantastic reviews! Appreciate them! -
CHERRY'S POV
Bob had left to God knows where. My heart froze, will he do something stupid? Oh gosh. My parents had arrived. I looked in the mirror for any signs of nervousness, after that, I went downstairs to greet them. They said they're Hi's and Goodnights. While they were sleeping, I took a quick peek outside my window. Maybe Bob was home. From my window, you could see Bob's house and stuff. But unfortunately, no car was parked there. Bob, please don't do anything that could hurt me…
PONY'S POV
I heard a my name….Somebody yelling for me…A familiar voice…Johnny? My eyes suddenly opened, Johnny?! Rain started to pour over my body. My body started shaking violently. I felt really dizzy and nauseous. I won't make it…No…But I won't give up…I can't…I won't! With all the strength I had, I was able to cry out something….
"Johnny!!!" I yelled…The only reply I got was the sound or heavy raindrops.
"Johnny!!!" Again no reply. Before fainting, I yelled out again.
"Johnny!" After that, I felt my head hit the mud puddle in front of me. Was I going to die?
DALLY'S POV
Damn kid! Where did he go now?!
"Johnny!!!" I cried out. But I could tell that he was far from me. The rain stopped and in the darkness, I called out for Johnny.
"Damn it Johnny! Say something back!!!" But I heard nothing. Johnny was lost somewhere in the woods. Suddenly, I heard a familiar cry. It was Johnny.
"Dally! Come here quick!!!" I heard him yell at me. My heart began to race, what happened now? Quickly, I ran to his voice and prepared to what was going to happen, I found Johnny crouched down grabbing something…A log?
"Johnny what the hell are you holding?!" I asked mad.
I felt him glare at me, "Dally, I'm holding Ponyboy! Get the others!!! He's bleeding badly!"
Ponyboy? He found Ponyboy? Jesus Christ, the kid's dying!!! Johnny's plead broke my thoughts. As fast as I could, I ran back to the others. They were all still in the shack talking about some Socs and beat ups.
"Guys! Johnny found Ponyboy! Hurry Steve! Get your ass in the damn car and follow me!" Everybody's eyes went wide with surprise. Steve shook his head realizing what happened and swiftly turned the engine on. I really didn't care if the others followed me or not, but I led Steve to where Pony was.
"Johnny, carry Pony to the car!" I said helping Johnny. I felt another set of hands carry Pony. Sodapop. But right now it's not the tome to think about that, time to the hospital. When everybody got inside the car (Yes, everybody was able to fit inside) we sped off to the hospital. Luckily, no police cars stopped us on our way there. Darry was now carrying Pony, he ran inside and called a nurse.
"Ma'am, we need someone fast. My little brother is dying," Darry said almost breaking down. Wow, never heard him so….Sad. Not even in his parents funeral. I sighed at what I was going to think. Darry really loves Pony. T
The nurse looked at Pony. She immediately called other doctor people to take him away to a room. Soda and Darry followed, but one of them said. "Sorry, you can't come in, we're about to do an operation on him."
We all froze, an operation?
"Why?" I asked sternly.
"You see, he has a bullet stuck in his chest. We need to this now. So if you please….Stay and wait." The guy went to the direction where Pony was taken. We all had wide eyes, Pony was shot? Then I remembered what Johnny had said before….Those sons of a gun….I looked over at Soda, he had his mouth slightly open and Darry was kind of breathing hard.
"Dally, he's gonna make it…Right?" Johnny asked me crying. I sighed, chances are…No…But I half smiled at him.
"Sure he will Johnny, he's been like this for at least 3 weeks now, he won't give up now."
Everybody else listened attentively at what I had said. Two-bit had tears forming in his eyes, Steve was just looking down at his feet. Soda stood up and left the hospital, Steve followed him outside. What now?
"Steve, I gotta do this!" Soda yelled at him.
"Wait a minute. Who's stopping you?" Steve said back folding his arms.
"Wait…What?" Soda asked surprised.
"I'm gonna help you do it. Now let's go, I know where Bob Sheldon lives." I let out a snort. Is this really Steve? We all looked at Steve as if he were a weird creation of nature. He grimaced at us.
"What?"
"It's just that….Are you doing this for Ponyboy?" Johnny asked him.
Steve got into the car with Soda, he sighed and nodded.
"Yes…." They drove off….Wow, at least we all know he had a soft spot for the kid.
BOB'S POV
When I returned home, it was pitch black. I cursed at myself at how loud my car was. Now the whole neighborhood would wake up. Again I cursed at myself, my parents are gonna kill me…As quietly as I could, I parked the car and slowly got out. While walking to my house, I felt hands grab my arms and drag me somewhere. In a car? Who the hell are these people? I tried to scream or something, but then I felt my face being punched.
"Shut up you damn Soc!" I heard someone whisper loudly. It sounded kind of familiar. Where did I hear that voice?!
I kept struggling to get out of their grasp, but they were too strong. Are these greasers? Wait a minute…Ponyboy's brothers? Damn it! This time I tried kicking, but instead…They slammed me against the car's door. I couldn't see anything because it was dark, so there wasn't anything different in my vision, but I heard a ringing noise in my ears. Before I knew it, I fell unconscious…..
