The Outsiders Taylor story

Hospital again

Taylor's POV

I'm laying in bed, everything around me is either spinning or I am. I lay there quietly with no noise, just me and the silence. I have my eyes close, I feel better then I did yesterday. I feel someone touch my hand, I move my hand and I'm able to grip my hand a bit. I open my eyes, I see Johnny and Bri beside me. I sit up a bit in my bed, I get adjusted to the new spot I'm in. I look over at Johnny, he looks relieved.

"Hey."  I say. I look at Bri, she looks over at  me and smiles, I smile back as best as I can.

"Hey Tay! I'm so happy your okay." Bri said. She was happy just to see me awake and talking. Johnny still looked upset.

"What's up Johnny?" I ask. He looked up.

"Nothing, I'm glad you and Pony are okay." Johnny says.

"I'm glad too." I said I grab Johnny's arm and pull him into a hug, he hugs me back.

"I'm glad to see you." I said as I whispered into his ear. He smiles and looks at me.

"Me too!" Johnny says.  I smile back at him. He sits back beside Bri.

"What happened?" Bri asked. I'm a bit confused at first as to what she was talking about, but then I started talking.

"I was walking around looking for Pony, some Socs got to me first, then they brought me to a house. When I walked to the basement Pony was laying on the ground lifeless." I said. Bri nods.

"Did you get beat bad?" Johnny asks. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Pony got it the worst." I said.  Johnny nodded. But that reminded me. " Is Pony okay?" I asked.

"He was unconscious when we found him, he has some bruises and scraps, he should be fine before school starts." Johnny said.

"Oh..." I said. I knew he was in a bad state but I didn't think he would be unconscious, I knew he didn't eat or drink anything, he had hypothermia, I felt bed I couldn't help him but  I had to see him.  I sit there and stare. stare  at the wall as I think about what could of happened if they didn't find Pony sooner.

"Tay?" Johnny asked.  I snap out of it and shoot up towards Johnny.

"Yea?"

"The nurse said your able to leave! But  you will be in some pain." Johnny said. I nodded and tried to get up. Johnny got up and went over to my side. He wrapped an arm around my waist and I wrapped an arm around his neck.

"Lets see Pony." I said.

"Yea." We walk out of the room as we follow Bri. We walk in, Two and Soda are beside him. I look at him, he's unconscious still.  He doesn't look to well either. He has bad bruises on his cheek, he has some cuts on his arms. Johnny and I walk towards his bed, we sit down beside him. We can hear him breathing, I hope he wakes up. I get tugged by my shirt, I look up. Bri is standing beside me.

"Tay we have to go home, we can see him tomorrow or when he wakes up." Bri said. I nod, I got up, Johnny helped. I walked towards the door with Bri. I look back and wave bye.

" See you guys in a few." I said.

"Bye, Stay gold Tay!" Johnny said. I smiled and nod.

"You too!" I said. I turn back to Bri and walk out. I talked to Bri the whole way home. We got home, I went to my room and changed, she sat me down and gave me ice. She made supper while I was icing my cheek. She brought two bowls to the table and sat beside me.

"Tay, your going to school next week." Bri said, I was happy to be starting school, Pony might not be with me for the first few days. I'll have Johnny and Two-bit.

"Okay." I said. I ate my supper and helped cleaned up the house. I went over to the couch, I saw Pony's blanket, reminded me of the god times. We would watch tv together with that blanket, I remember this one time we went to the park, Johnny, Pony and I all squished together to watch the sunset with the blanket. We all fell asleep watching the sunset that night.

For me I guess that Blanket, it just means so much to me. I don't know! It's a thing between me and Pony, our blankets is our thing. Some people have a saying or a name they are given for us it's our blankets.Pony's blanket stays at my house, and he has mine. We always have each other's blankets, when he's at my place we have his blanket and when were at his we have my blanket. 

I snapped out of the memories it was making me cry, I grabbed the blanket and went over to the porch, I wrapped myself in the blanket and fell asleep.

Johnny's POV

I was with Tay all day today, after her and Bri went home, I stayed with Pony. He didn't look too bad, he had cuts and bruises. He hasn't woken up yet, he looks almost dead. I've been here for a few hours, I didn't want to go to my place. My folks are fighting again and how I'm a mistake. The gang makes me feel good and special.  I  sat with Two-bit, he was talking about how school was starting and it was gonna be his third year in 10th grade or something, I didn't pay much attention to what he was saying. I sat beside my buddy and I'm gonna wait till he wakes up. Two-bit eventually shut up. Soda and Steve went home, they work tomorrow. We have a few days before school starts, the fights are gonna be worst. I started to fall asleep after awhile of thinking.
