CHAPTER 10

Francesca's POV

To be honest I didn't want to leave the hospital. Ponyboy is my best friend and I wouldn't be able to live if anything happened to him.

His dream was always to be an Olympic athlete but this is the second operation on the same ankle which means he may not be able to do track anymore. The poor kid doesn't ever get what he wants, I feel his life is always being led by those older than him, he doesn't know how to stand up for himself when it comes to the people he loves.

I hope he gets better soon...

Darry's POV

Once the doctor had finished telling us how Ponyboy is, everyone but me was shocked. You see it hurt me to know he's going through all this pain again but I knew this was going to happen. The first time he was told he wouldn't be able to do track ever again but he pushed it and tried to show everyone that he could do it.

I knew if his coach kept pushing him that he'd have to have surgery again and this time he may not even be able to walk properly anymore. I don't want him going back to track but it's his dream and I'm not going to stop him.

It'd kill me to see him hurt again but Ponyboy is so stubborn when it comes to things like this. If he has a goal, he'll complete it and if something tries to stop him he'll keep pushing until he's at the end. That's my kid brother for you.

Once the doctor had finished talking I shued everyone out the doors and into the cars. We all hopped in the cars/vans and set off for my house. I swear I'm missing work for these imbeciles.

Soda's POV

Once we got home all I could think about was Pony and how he was doing. He'll be fine I thought to myself, he's done this before, he'll do it again.

Francesca walked in the door and headed for the kitchen before I picked her up and pulled her into a long, passionate kiss. She smiled into the kiss which made me chuckle to myself before she pulled away.

"Awwwe, why'd you do that" I whined. She then jumped down and walked in the kitchen shouting behind her, "because Dally just walked in"

I looked over to the door and saw Dally walking through it. Wow she obviously knows when her brother's present.

Everyone else walked into the house and sat down, all scattered around the living room. Darry had to go back to work so he left once everyone had got outta his truck, damn that guy never seems to relax.

All the seats were taken when Francesca walked back in the room with a piece of chocolate cake, so she sat on the floor before I lifted her into my knee. She turned around and wiped some frosting on my nose before cuddling up to my chest and watching Mickey Mouse with the rest of us.

Francesca's POV

"I've got somewhere to be, I'll be back later to pick you up Frankie" Dallas said before he walked out the door. Seriously if he gets in anymore trouble with the fuzz then I'll be sent to some girls home or somethin'.

Soda picked me up off of the floor and sat me down on his knee. I nearly dropped my chocolate cake but I managed to catch it before it fell on the floor, I then turned round to Soda before wiping some frosting on this nose and cuddling into his chest.

I loved the sound of his steady heartbeat. He took his finger and wiped the frosting from his nose before tasting it and wrapping his arms around me. This made me feel safe, the warmth of his body is amazing against my skin, I can't believe he's mine.

About an hour later Steve, Two and Johnny left to go watch a movie or something, Dally still hadn't come back and Darry was still at work.

Me and Soda were nearly falling asleep on the sofa before the phone rang. Soda jumped up to grab it whilst I scooted round the sofa trying to get comfy.
