Upon the Stars: Sodapop Curtis x OC {Completed}

Chapter Twenty-Seven

     I woke up filled with pain. My body was sore, my wounds were burning. I sat up and looked around the room. It was my room. I sighed and looked at my blood filled clothes. I was still bleeding. I raced downstairs and into the living room. I looked in a cabinet and grabbed two rolls of gauze and some tape. I wrapped the gauze on/around my stab wounds and taped them. I winced and looked at myself. I looked mummified. I sighed and raced back upstairs. I quickly got dressed, bolted back downstairs, grabbed a lighter, stole most of the money from my parents, put everything in a satchel, and raced out of the house. I sprinted towards the hospital. Not for help, but to see Sodapop. I stopped and thought about it. I shook my head, "No..." Instead I started to head towards an alley in the greaser neighborhood. It took awhile before finding an alley. I picked up some large rocks and some branches on the way there. I sat down on the bench and made the rocks into a circle. I snapped a branch in half and started a fire. I looked through the money I stole and counted it. I had stole over three thousand dollars. This should pay for the hospital bills, I thought. I put everything back in the satchel and sprinted towards the hospital. I walked through the doors.

     "Hello, how may I help you?" A nurse asked.

     "How much is Sodapop Curtis, Steve Randel, and Summer Cade's hospital bill in total?" I asked. "I'm a friend!"

     "Two thousand five hundred three dollars and ninety-four cents!" The nurse exclaimed.

     I'd have at least about five hundred dollars left... I thought. "Um.. uh..." I shuffled through the money. I laid two thousand five hundred four dollars on the table. "Keep the change!" I said before walking out. Before the nurse could say a word I sprinted down the streets. I returned to the alley. I became surprised that no one started to stay there. I perked up remembering I need supplies. If the fire was still going and no one was staying there I can come back! Right? I sighed. I turned around and started walking towards Walmart. I entered the building and wandered around. Soon I got to the bed supplies. I grabbed a decent blanket. Again I wandered and grabbed a suit case, a toothbrush and toothpaste, food, a hair brush, a tin traveling water bottle, and two outfits. I made my way toward the checkout and paid almost one hundred dollars. As I left I packed everything neatly in my suitcase. I carried the case out and made it back towards the alley. No one. I laid the suitcase on the bench and opened it. I grabbed my blanket and set it beside me. I closed the suitcase and laid my head on it. I covered myself up with the blanket and fell asleep.
