Darry's POV: We went to the hospital to see how Ponyboy was doing, the doctor was with him, as we all waited in the hall. I should have told you Darry. Two Bit said to me. You knew he was sick? I said. I wanted him to skip out on the rumble, but he wanted to fight. He said. It's not your fault Two Bit. I said. Sodapop was a mess, he was super nervous, he loved Ponyboy. I tried to make him feel better, by talking to him. Last time we were here in the hospital for Ponyboy was the day he was born, you were almost three and I was six, you wanted to have a new baby brother. I said. Yeah, they were only in their for an hour, and he was born just like that. He said grinding. Later the doctor came out. How is he doc? I asked as we all got up. Ponyboy is fine, but he needs bed rest, he has a fever or 103, and he delirious. He said. Delirious? Steve asked. Yeah, he keeps asking for Johnny, and Sodapop. He said. That my name sir, and Johnny well...he was his friend. Sodapop said. Can we see him? I asked. Yes. He said as Sodapop went to the door. We saw Pony asleep, with a towel on his head, his face pale and red from the rumble. Soda ran right to his bed. Hey, Pony it's me Soda. He said. Soda, is somebody sick? Ponyboy said to him. Somebody's sick, you're alright buddy. He said taking some of the blankets off of him. I saw how Soda was taking care, it reminded me of mom, home when we were sick she stay with us until we got better, one time all three of us were sick at the same time, and she nursed us back to health for a whole week, and let us eat ham and eggs for breakfast. And seeing Soda take care of Ponyboy reminded me of her.
