I was going to start class to finish up my degree and Pony would be going to college classes with me. Soda and Steve were still not happy with be about getting their GED. I told them they could always go back to high school and decided to drop the issue. I knew they were going to fight me the whole way on getting their GED. I told them if they had passed I would put down a payment on any vehicle they wanted. I told Pony when he turned sixteen he could do the same if he passed all of his college class with A, which I think he will.
Darry was planning something big for our date night but I was not sure what to expect. He was not the best at the surprises. I hope it was something special but that was still a day away. I woke up and got breakfast ready for everyone. Steve and Soda had work today along with Darry. Pony was going with me to get books. He seemed excited but I think part of it was just to get out of the house. He was still grounded for fighting. He did not seem to upset but he knows better. I hope he will talk to someone soon. I was going back again next week.
I decided I was done thinking and got out of bed to get the day started. I went to the kitchen to start breakfast. All the guys were still asleep. I was hoping this day was going to be good. I work on the stock market after breakfast and the guys have left for school and work. I knew today was going to be a regular day until I got a call from Darry work. Apparently Darry had got hurt at work but his supervisor was not specific about what had happen. He just told me Darry was in the hospital. The first thing I did was call Soda and Steve and told them to me at the Hospital. Then I hopped into my truck and went to Pony school. I had to go to the office and wait. I also ask for Two-Bit as well. He was old enough to leave on his own. Pony looked scared to death for getting called down to the office and Two-Bit walked in like this was his second home. Pony did not look any better when he seen me. I went to him and told him Darry had got hurt at work but did not know much more than that. I went to the office person and sign Pony out and Two-Bit sign himself out.
They both climbed into my truck. We speed down the road towards the hospital. I was scared and I did not know what was going to happen. I had beat Soda and Steve here but from the looks that Pony and Two-Bit they were not surprised. All three of us raced into the hospital to find out what was going on with Darry. I knew what ever was going to happen I had the rest of the gang. They were all going to be there from me. Soda and Steve ran in a few mins. after us. and to my surprise Tim also showed up and so I now I knew something bad was going on.
