Darry's POV (it's ok to be scared...)
Due to being a good person, I'm going to bleep out some of the swears cause Darry is a liiittle upset...ARE YOU F***ING KIDDING ME?? THEY ARE BOTH IN THE F***ING HOSPITAL?? FIRST THOSE B****Y SOCS F***ING CAUSING THE EXPLOSION, NOW PONY HAS F***ING LOST IT. AND NOW, I'M NOT TOO SURE IM EVEN F***ING SANE. JUST- JUST- UGH!!! GOD D*** EVERYTHING!!
Two-Bit's here. What does he want.
"Darry? Are you ok?"
WHAT DOES IT F***ING LOOK LIKE??? THE TWO ONLY PEOPLE LEFT IN MY FAMILY ARE UNCONSCIOUS IN THE F***ING E.R.! OF COURSE NOT, YOU LITTLE C***!!
"I'm fine. Just a little tired."
"Well, visiting hours close soon so you better wrap up... Whatever you've been doing..."
"Of course. I'll meet you outside."
I turn and look at Ponyboy and Sodapop. My two kid-brothers. I'm worried about Soda, he was caught in an explosion! But he is unconscious from impact, the doctors can fix that.
Ponyboy though. He looks so pale and lifeless. I still can't believe he at all of Soda's prescription sleeping pills at once. The doctors are trying to clean it out of his system, but until than, he is doing what sleeping pills make people do. Sleep.
I try to calm myself as a nurse walks over to me and tells me visiting hours are up. I thank her and walk outside to my car. Two-Bit is sitting on the front.
"Yea, I'll stay with him. Be home in a day or two. Bye mom. Yea, yea. Love you too." He closes his phone and stands up.
"So, I'm staying at your place for a while to help you around the house and if there's a problem I can fix it. You dig?"
I just nod, get into the car, and drive off to my place, with Two-Bit in the passenger seat.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Narrator's POV
The next week is rough. Neither of the younger two Curtis boys have awoken, and it's all over the papers.
"Boy caught in explosion. Him and suicidal brother both in hospital."
"Local kids have bad parenting? Both in hospital."
"A devastating turn of events! Two local brothers in hospital due to family issues."
Darry frowned as he read these. "I hope child services don't read this..."
"Hmm?"
"Two-Bit my two 'children' are in comas. I barley got to keep them last time. I don't want them to be in a boys home, they're the only family I got."
"Right, right. You need anything?"
"A beer."
"Darry, you've had three in the last hour."
"I don't care. Get me another one."
"Darrel Curtis you are drunk. Go to bed it's almost one in the morning."
"Maybe I don't want to go to bed." I said, stumbling as I stood.
Two-Bit sighed. "Come on. Let's go."
"My house my rules. Now you go to bed ya grumpy cat."
"... Question mark?"
"GO!"
"Ok, ok jeez I'm going."
"That's right, to bed with you Sodapop."
"Umm... Soda isn't here."
"Yes he is Ponyboy."
"... G'night."
"Night."
And with, that I passed out on the couch.
