Chapter 9:

Ponyboy POV:

I woke up and I realized I was in a hospital, except I don’t remember why. Just then a doctor came in, he said hi and told me that I had been in a car accident and my friends had brought me in. he told me I had visitors and that he’d send them in two at a time. Dally and Steve were first.

“Hey kid, how ya holding up?” Dally asked.

“Fine I guess. The doc said I had to have a few cuts stitched up and I have a two broken ribs, which hurt like hell.” I told them.

“Yeah the doc told us. You’ll be ok though.” Dally said and left.

“Hey, listen I hope you don’t think I’m as annoyed with you as she was. I mean I do hate it sometimes when you tag-along but I would never hurt you… on purpose.” Steve said before leaving. Two-Bit and Johnny were next.

“Hey Pone, how ya doing?” Two-Bit asked.

“Fine.” I told them.

“You sure gave us a scare when we looked back to find you bleeding on the ground.” Two-Bit added.

“Sorry, I’ll try to be more considerate of your feelings next time.” I joked.

“Thanks. I gotta go though, get better kid.” He said and left.

“I’m sorry.” Johnny said.

“Why would I hate you?” I asked.

“Cause I told everyone that Amy did it. I know you asked me not to but I couldn’t take it anymore! I mean the beatings were bad enough but hitting you with her car? I couldn’t just let that slide!” he said.

“I know, and I’m not mad. I’m actually glad you told.” I told him with a smile.

“I should probably go now. Soda and Darry are pretty anxious to see you.” He said and left. I was alone for about 2 minutes before Darry and Soda came in. Darry came to stand right by my bed while Soda just sat on a chair near the corner of the room.

“Hey buddy, how ya holding up?” Darry asked.

“I’ll be fine.” I told him.

“Why didn’t you just tell us? We could have stopped it from going this far.” Darry said, sadness in his voice.

“I dunno.” I said, looking at my hands. Earlier a nurse had helped me into a sitting position.

“Don’t lie t us Ponyboy! I know why you did it! You did it for me! I’m the reason why you’re so beaten!” Soda cried, standing up from the chair. I looked up from my hands to find him pacing the room, and Darry looking at his feet. I looked back at my hands.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t think she’d do anything worse than the beatings and I thought that if Johnny could handle it from his dad that I could handle it.” I said, tears coming to my eyes.

“But we try to keep it away from Johnny, we don’t want him getting hurt, and we certainly don’t want you getting hurt.” Darry said.

“Especially for my happiness. I’m happy being single and hanging out with you and the gang.” Soda said as he made his way over to the other side of the bed.

“Promise us that you’ll come to us if you need anything.” Darry said. I nodded.

I got out of the hospital three days later, Amy never came back and Soda was happy. Darry started hanging out with the gang more but otherwise everything ended up being the same it always was.
