Ponyboy was less than a week away from turning eleven. He was so excited. He was still just a kid so birthdays and christmas always made him extra hàppy. He was sitting on a swing at the park waiting for his friend curly. His two older brothers and their friends were playing a game of ball accross the field. Ponyboy didn't like to play when they got too rough.
He was happy watching his brothers and their friends from afar, when he was grabbed and a hand clamped over his mouth. 3 big soc boys that looked to be high school age threw pony into a nearby fountain and held him under the water. Pony's brothers turned to check on their baby brother when they saw the soc, but couldn't see pony.
All 6 greasers ran over to the playground. When they got there pony was lying on the ground. The soc had made a run for it. "Darry, he's not breathing" sodapop started to panick. Darry started to give his baby brother cpr. "Johnny, run back to the house with dally and call 911. Dal bring the truck back. Hurry"
Both boys ran as fast as they could til they reached the house. "Come on baby, breathe" darry spoke to pony. Finallt pony coughed up some water, but was still far from being out of danger. Just as dalky reached the park with darry's truck, an ambulance pulled up to the park. "Can anyone tell me how long he's been out of consciousness?" One medic asked.
"No, we were playing football when we ran over" two-bit answered. Darry was going into shock. "Ok guys, you've done a goid job, you got him breathing and he has a faint pulse" the medic said. "Will he be ok" soda asked, tears wetting his cheeks. "Honestly, i can't answer that question. We need to get him to the childrens hospital, who's riding with us?" Both darry and soda got in with pony while the rest of the guys followed in the truck.
At the hospital the doctor tending to the little greaser came out to the waiting room. "Mr curtis, your brothers brain was deprived of oxygen for some time. For a kid his size, it doesn't take much to cause some possible brain damage" the doc tried to explain. "Are you sayin our brother might be brain damaged?" Darry asked shocked to even think this was a possibility. "Only time will tell, right now he's in a coma and has some swelling on his brain".
Darry and soda stayed at the hospital all night with their baby brother. They held his little hands. And kissed his cheeks. "We love you baby" they both told him.
