     I woke up to a steady tone of beeping. I blinked a few times, I could only see from one eye. I ran my fingers down my closed eye, it was more swollen than a hive of bees stinging you in the same place. "Where am I?" I mumbled weakly. I rushed into a panic, "Wh-where's the gang? The letter! Where's the letter?!" A woman rushed into the room, she had a white outfit on.

     "Now, calm down sweetie..." She said softly.

     "Don't tell me what and what not to do!" I scowled. "Where's my friends?! Where's my letter?!?!" I shouted uncontrollably.

     "It was in your pocket. I found it, so I gave it to a um... A... Sodapop Curtis! He came by earlier," The woman explained.

     I perked up, "You what?!" I froze, I was completely shocked. At least it got to him... I thought. I nodded slowly and relaxed.

     "Oh yeah, he left you something..." The lady added. She handed me a teddy bear with a tag. I took it from her and opened the tag. Inside it said, 'To my dearest. ~Soda'. I smiled and sighed. I kept the bear in my lap. "So sweetie, what happened to you? You look horrible!" She said. A wave of pain hit my head. I winced and sighed.

"I... Uh... Nothing," I replied oddly. My head felt like it was going to explode.

     "Well, something must've happened... Did you get into a fight? Did you have a bad fall?" She asked.

     "I said nothing...!" I snapped slightly. I scowled at the thought of what really happened. "Where am I?" I asked again.

     "The hospital, hun..."

     "Wha- how? Why?!" I became confused quickly. Did I pass out? Why?

     "It's nothing to worry about..." The nurse said. "May I ask again... What happened?"

     I scowled, "My mother..." My mom was actually pretty cool until she got into drugs. It eventually took her over and she's never been the same since. She became a neglectful, abusive, careless monster. I looked up, the nurse was stunned.

     "Are you a-" She started.

     "I'm a greaser..." I interrupted. Another nurse poked her head inside the door.

     "Uh, someone is here to visit you... Said to be your cousin..." She said softly.

     A fire sparked inside of me. "Tell him to leave!" I snapped. "He only wants to brag! A-AND-" Everything suddenly turned black again as soon as I yelled. My head had been hurting ten times worse per second. Now I was out cold...
