Dear Diary,

    I'm not exactly sure if I should be worried, or mad, or upset, or all three. Ponyboy, Johnny, and Dallas are home, but they're all in the hospital. I don't know what happened, but I'm going to have to have a word with whoever landed my brother and my buddies with a bunch of doctors. Knowing Darry, he'll probably make sure that person needs his own doctors, not that I'd stop him. If I'm honest, I just want my brother back home. I want things to go back to the way they were. I wish Darry had never hit him, I wish Pony hadn't been stupid enough to stay out that late, anyway. I wish Sandy was here, too. I hope her letter gets here soon. I wish our parents weren't dead, I wish I were smarter, I wish Darry could get to college, I wish things were different. But at the same time, I'm scared I'd be a different person if none of it happened. I'm just gonna go to the hospital, now. See you later.
