Ponyboy Curtis

~Ponyboy~
"Nurse! Help me! She won't wake up!" I yelled holding Grace in my arms.

She collapsed when I dragged out of the room. This was not happening, I wasn't losing both of them on the same night. The nurse told me to go home and visit tomorrow. I did as she said.

I walked home, I couldn't ride with Dally because he had left, I knew he was about to do something reckless. I got home and slowly walked inside. The gang was fixing up their wounds. Darry looked at me. "Where you been Ponyboy?" he asks.

I didn't say anything. I was still trying to believe if Johnny was dead or not. He had to be though, I couldn't just imagine Grace collapsing like that. "T-The hospital." I stuttered. "Johnny's dead... and Grace collapsed, she's in the hospital right now she isn't awake." I said walking slowly into the house a bit more.

"What?" the gang asked.

"Johnny's dead, a-and Dally's gone. He's gonna break. He can't take it. Just like Grace couldn't take it." I said crying.

The phone rang and Darry went to answer it. Soda, Steve, and Two-bit walked up to me. "What happened to Grace?" Sodapop asked.

"W-When Johnny died she broke down in tears. S-She couldn't move, she couldn't breathe. I dragged her out of the room so she'd stop looking at Johnny's body, b-but when I did she collapsed, s-she won't wake up." I said looking straight toward.

"Guys... Dally's in trouble. The cops are after him. We gotta meet him at the park." Darry said.

We all ran outside headed to the park. We were only a few feet away when we saw the cops surrounding him. Dally pulled out s gun, it wasn't loaded though. The cops quickly took their guns out and begin to shoot. "It's not loaded! He's just a kid! He's just a kid!" we all began to scream.

The cops didn't listen. There lied Johnny. Crawling his way to his. We quickly got him up and brought him yo the hospital. There was no way we were losing three people on the same night. His body was heavy. I wasn't helping much with carrying him, I was too weak. We finally got to the truck and brought him in. The nurses and doctors took him to the operating room and the gang and me sat in the waiting room.

"A-Are we allowed to see Grace?" asked Two-bit.

"No, not till tomorrow." I replied shaking my leg.

Sodapop layed his hand on my leg to stop my from shaking. "It's gonna be okay." he reassured me.

I was worried about Grace, and Dally I guess. Mostly Grace though. She was the love of my life, and I may never get to tell her that.

~Grace~
I woke up in a bright white room. I didn't know where I was. Everywhere was blurry. My vision finally started to even out, I was in the hospital. "Grace." I heard a voice call from the hallway.

I quickly got up yo see who it was. I walked out, but I didn't see anyone. "Hello?" I asked.

The hallways were empty. It was impossible for the hospital to be empty. There were no patients, no staff, no anything. I saw a blurry figure down the hallway walking towards me. "Who's there?" I asked raising my hand up to block the brightness of the white to see the figure better.
