I was waiting at the hospital with Darry for the guys to come from work or school. I was working on the forms for Soda and Steve to take their GED prep course before they actually took the test. They still were not happy I was making them do this. The forms were pretty easy and I had to write a check to pay for the class but it was not that much. Darry had fallen back asleep which I was very happy about. I knew he had only a few days left at the hospital and he could come home and rest there. He was not allowed to do any physical work for a long time which was about six weeks with his cast on. I knew we were going to fight about him going to physical therapy but I was making him go. I was going to be working and running the house for awhile but it was nothing I couldn't manage.
About Two hours later
Ponyboy was the first to come to Darry room. He looked like he had a long day at school. He greeted me and Darry. He said he had two midterms this week. I asked him if he had been studying and He relied yes. I know he is always good about it but I was making sure. The midterms were in chemistry and whatever math he was taking. Then Steve and Soda came in from work both smelling like the DX. I wished they would have taken a shower first. I ask where Two-Bit was and Pony told me he went home to check on his mom and sister. Then I told the guys what all was going on with Darry and that they had to help out more if they could.
Soda and Steve were going to start their GED prep course next week. We were discussion the details and Darry had woken up. He was glad that they were able to go back and get this. Darry had asked where Pony had went, and we assumed he was in the restroom, so Soda went to go back sure. Soda came back and said Pony was busy with something and he be back in a little while. I want more details and I had a feeling Pony was going to be in trouble again. I figure Soda was going to cover and Steve was going to as well. Then I notice Steve and Soda both left to go talk.
Soda POV
I motion for Steve for follow me out of the room. I want to tell him what I found out about Pony. Both Steve and Pony were getting along much better lately, so I thought he might give me some advice on what I should do. I told Steve I had found Pony making out with a nurse. I was hoping she was young and not going to get in trouble for being with Pony. As I was telling Steve this I notice Pony coming our way.
He asked what we were up to. I told him we were going on a walk. He did not look like he believed us at all. Steve ask Pony what he was up to and he said he was walking around and had went to the restroom. Then I saw the nurse Pony was with smile at him and he waved at her. I knew had to talk to him about this. I asked him who that was and he relied a friend. I told Pony I had seen them earlier making out and he said it was no big deal. Steve ask him how old she was and Pony said 18, she was in her first year of nursing school and was doing her internship at the hospital. I asked him if he was going to keep seeing her, and where they had meet. He said they meet at the hospital one day but he was not going to start a relationship with her. It was because he did not think it would work out.
I knew there was something more to the story but I figure we get back to Darry room before we all were going to get into trouble with Danielle and Darry. Steve was thinking the same thing because it was almost supper time and we had to get home. We had work in the morning and Pony had school as well. I hope I can figure out what going on with my brother again.

The guys walked back into Darry room but said nothing about what was going on. I guess there are not going to tell me anything. They had brought Darry some supper and he was eating it. I told him I was going home with guys for the night. I needed to pick him up some clothes and make sure the house was pick-up. He was coming home soon, so I wanted to make sure everything was alright.
The guys all said goodbye to Darry. I was saying good bye and He leaned and gave me a kiss goodbye and all the guys cheered. Steve and Soda were riding in Steve car and Pony was riding with me. I could tell Pony did not want to ride alone with me for some reason but I wanted to find out what was going on at the hospital with him.
