Steve's POV

I'm literally bawling my eyes out in front of Dallas Winston!! He's crying to!! To make him cry you have to be something special..and that's exactly what Shelby is, special.

"Baby no. Please please. For me. You have to." I squeaked between sobs.

"I'm sorry!! It's all my fault!! I should've drove faster!!" Dally yelled pounding the steering wheel.

"No Dal it's not your fault. It's Evie's for stabbing her....but mainly it's mine. I should've known Evie was crazy the first time if met her." I assured him.

"It's not your fault Steve. How were you suppose to know she's a psychotic bitch? And besides..Shelby's not dead. She's just in a coma or something." Dally said pulling into the hospital. We beat the rest their but they were right behind us. Greg turned in and his truck was on two wheels. We rushed Shelby inside and explained what happened. The doctors took her back and we tried to follow but they wouldn't let us.

"LET ME GO!!" I yelled. We all tried to push through.

"That's our sister in their!!" Two-Bit yelled. Everyone was yelling something and cussing the doctors and nurses out.

"IM GOING BACK THEIR WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION!!!!" Greg spat. Then an older looking guy, but he still had a full head of greasy hair, grabbed Greg's shoulders.

"She's gonna be okay. Just calm down son." The guy said. It was like the guy hypnotized him because he instantly calmed down.

"Doc Bentley I'm glad you're here. Please take care of my baby." Greg pleaded.

"You know I'll do everything I can for her. I know this is hard but please go sit down I'll let you know something as soon as possible." Doctor Bentley told him.

"Ok." Greg grabbed my shoulder and guided me to the chairs.

"Who's Doctor Bentley?" I asked Greg after a long period of silence. He gave me a crooked grin.

"He's the only greaser doctor. He was a drunk when he was younger. When he was a junior he was 19. One day he woke up and realized he wanted to do somethin with his life. He started payin attention in school, became valedictorian, and got a scholarship. He got his medical degree and he's a damn good doctor. Him and Uncle Larry were good buds growin up. We've always seen him. He's the only doctor I trust. He's what inspired Shelby to be a doctor. She comes and helps him and he trains her." Greg explained.

"He was a drunk....like Two-Bit." Pony chimed in.

"I could be a doctor....Timber can be my first patient." Two wiggled his eyebrows at her.

"Not now. And if that's the case I better be your last patient." Timber scowled him.

"So you wanna be my last patient?" Two-Bit smirked.

"Well uh maybe uh I kinda hoped so, we'll talk about it later." She blushed. Someone cleared their throat. We turned towards the sound. It was Doctor Bentley. We all stood up.

"Before you ask, Shelby isn't ok. She's alive but we don't know for how long. She's in ICU. I'm not suppose to let you see her but I'm going to. What was shot in her is slowly killing her. I'm not giving up on her. There's still hope. Follow me." As he said that me heart sank. Why her?! Why not me?! She has such a bright future ahead. I just hope she gets to live it.

As we were walking I notice Doctor Bentley was wearing Mickey Mouse socks.

"Hey doc are you a Mickey fan?" I asked. He looked surprise.

"The biggest fan. I wear somethin Mickey everyday." He chuckled.

"What other kinda greaser stuff ya got?" Two asked.

"I blade in one pocket and a bottle of whiskey in the other." I like this doctor. He digs ok. We got to the door and he opened it for us. What I saw made my heart shatter. I swear I heard it. Shelby was whiter than the sheets. She was paper thin. Wires were all over her. I ran to her and grabbed her hand.

"I'm sorry baby." I cried. I looked up at her and I started thinking. What would I do without her? She's the first person I've ever cared about this much. If something does happen how will I move on? But most of all....even like this she's still as beautiful as the day I first saw her.
