Hey guys I thought I should make up for the long update by doing two in one night, so I hope you like it and please review, also suggestions are welcomed.
Pony's POV
As soon as I heard the names there was an uncomfortable ringing in my ears. I'd heard those names before, but where? Probably in one of my crazy dreams. What kinda name is Sodapop anyhow? I guess the kinda name Ponyboy is.
"I don't know anyone by those names," I said, my brow furrowing.
"Well they seem to know you, described you perfectly," Angel told me.
"I wanna see em," I said.
Angel nodded and opened the door. Two guys came bounding in. One was really big with black hair and a tight shirt on, his eyes cold, but seeming to gentle when he saw me. The other was a little shorter with lighter hair and a huge grin on his face.
The smaller one ran over to me and wrapped his arms around me in a tight embrace. I was surprised at first, but that surprise quickly faded into confusion and then fear. I didn't know these people! I pushed the guy off and scooted away.
"Get away from me!" I nearly shouted.
He frowned and bit the corner of his lip. He gave a quick glance at the other guy before turning back to me.
"Pony, don't ya recognize me?" he asked.
I shook my head, slowly inching away.
"It's me, Soda, your brother," he told me.
I shook my head again.
"I don't have a brother, I don't know who you are," I said, just then realizing that my breath was coming in short gasps.
Angel came up beside me and placed a protective hand on my shoulder, silently urging me to calm down.
"What do you want with Ponyboy?" Angel demanded, glaring through slits in her eyelids. She looked like a protective mama bear ready to do anything to keep her young safe. The bigger guy stepped forwards, eyes filling with glistening with tears.
"Pony, what happened to you?" he said.
"Who are you people?" I asked.
"We're your brothers Ponyboy, please ya gotta remember us!" the one named Sodapop pleaded, "Don't ya remember us and the gang? Two-Bit, Steve?"
The names sounded so familiar and yet…I couldn't remember where I had heard them. I guess that comes from memory loss. What if these guys were my brothers? What if they were my true family? It seemed so far-fetched, but there was something inside of me…I don't know what is it, but I got a funny feeling in my gut.
I bit my lip. I was so confused! I guess the two guys could see the struggle that I was having with myself cause the guy, Sodapop, nodded.
"That's it Pony, remember us, please remember us," he encouraged.
I licked my bottom lip just as the door opened. A woman in a white coat walked in, looking up from a stack of papers and giving a fake smile.
"Ah, Mr. Curtis, I see you've been reunited with your brothers," she said, looking at me the whole time.
Wait what? Mr. Curtis? So these guys were really my brothers? My thoughts were all jumbled and I felt more confused then when I woke up with no memory.
"No you're wrong," Angel said, "Their not his brothers."
"I'm sorry miss, but these papers say he is. Now I understand that he lost his memory some time back due to several hard blows to the head, so I'm sure you must be very confused Mr. Curtis," the doctor said.
All I could do was stare. Nothing made sense anymore.
"Well I'll give you sometime to get reacquainted, but tomorrow you are free to go back home with your brothers," she said, walking outta the room.
After she left there was a long stretch of awkward. No one moved, no one said a word. Finally the big guy spoke.
"This will all make sense once we get you back home Pony," he told me, he turned to Sodapop, "Come on Soda, we'll be back in the morning."
They left the room, leaving me and Angel alone. I looked up at my girlfriend to see tears staining her cheeks. I reached up and brushed them away. She sniffled and took my hand.
"Ponyboy please don't go away, you promised," she said, that last part coming out as a painful whisper.
I felt like my heart was breaking in two. I hated seeing Angel like this, but…what if those guys could help me get my memory back? My life back?
"Angel…I have to go with them," I told her, "they could help me get my life back."
"But Ponyboy…"
"Come with me. It would be perfect, if I could remember who I once was then I would have everything, including you. Please come with me!"
Angel squeezed more tears from her eyes and shook her head, her mouth moving wordlessly. She finally found her voice.
"I-I can't Ponyboy, my family is here, Tab, the gang, this is my life. I know that this isn't where you belong, I was just wishing on a star that wasn't there. You go home, you remember who you are, and maybe, someday, we can be together again," Angel said, her voice cracking.
I nodded, tears streaming down my face. I pulled her into a kiss, breaking away slowly.
"I love you Angel, and I always will," I whispered into her ear.
So there it was, hope you enjoyed. Please review and I have two ways this story can go, so tell me in the comments.
1. Ponyboy goes home and gets his memory back, and ends up forgetting about Angel.
2. Ponyboy goes home, gets some of his memory back and then runs away so he can be with Angel, and might end up coming home again.
Please let me know! love ya!
