~Darry's P.O.V~

I wake up to yelling. It's sounds like Pony. I get up and head to where the yelling is coming from, the living room. There is Pony kneeling next to the couch with Soda on it.
"What is going on, in here" I said a bit annoyed.
"Darry, Since I woke up Soda has been like this and he had not moved all day. When I try to get his attention he just lies there. I don't know what to do." Pony says.
I walk over and kneel next to the couch I try to get soda to snap out of his dase.
"Soda come on baby speak to me" but nothing.
"Is he ok Darry" Pony asks.
"I don't know Pony. He's never been like this. I'm not sure what to do." I say as I turn my attention back to Soda then I hear a loud bang.
I turned around and see Pony on the floor out cold.
"Oh my god Pony are you ok" he did not move. Now I'm freaking out first Soda and now Pony. I try to keep my composure. I pick Pony up and lay him on the other couch. Then I run to the kitchen to grab a cold washcloth for him. I get back into the living room and put the washcloth on his forehead. What should I do. I think I'll call Steve he might be able to get Soda out of whatever this is and help me with Pony Too. I run to the phone. It rings a few times and then Steve picks up. Thank god.
"Hello" he said in a raspy voice.
"STEVE, oh my god I'm so glad you picked up I need your help."
"Calm down Darry what ya need." He speaks soothingly.
"I need you to come over and help me.Soda is laying on the couch and has not moved or spoke all day, I don't know what is wrong with him and it's worrying me. Then Pony passes out for no reason and I don't really know what to do. Can you please come over to help me?" I say rather quickly.
"Sure thing Darry I'll be there in a few"
"Thanks again Steve."
Next thing I know Steve is bursting through my door. He is a mess. His shoes are untied, his jeans are sagging and he has on an old dirty t-shirt with holes in it. His hair is also a mess.
"SHHHHHHH"
"Sorry Darry, what can I do to help" He says slightly out of breath, he must have run here.
"Well can you try to snap Soda out of whatever is wrong with him I gotta try to wake Pony over here" Steve looks over at Pony with a shocked face then at Soda with a worried face. He walked over to Soda while I went over to Pony.
"P-Pony come on baby can you wake up for me" but nothing I feel his forehead and it's burning hot.
"GREAT! just great"
"What's wrong with him Darry"
"Pony has a fever" as soon as I said that Soda jumped up and ran over to where I was with Pony.
"D-Darry what's wrong with him, will he be ok"
"Umm... yeah he'll be fine what about you mister laying on the couch not saying a word or anything. I was worried sick about you, he was worried sick, you got him sick." I said very angry.
"I-I'm sorry Darry It just hit me this morning, I can't believe they aregone." I knew what he was talking about he was thinking of Mom, Dad, Johnny, and Dally. We have lost so many in the last few years. I can take a toll on you. It's taken a toll on all of us.
"I know but you can't scare me and Pony like that."
"I know I'm sorry but we can't think about that now we need to help pony, what happened"
"Well I woke up to pony yelling at you because you were just laying there he was really scared. I told him I did not know what was wrong with you and he passed out cold. Now he has a fever."
"Ok we should probably get him in bed and try to wake him up"
"Good idea you and Steve get him in bed and I'll get the stuff."
I went got the medicine and stuff like that and then went into Pony and Soda's room. There I saw Steve sitting in the desk chair half asleep.
I guess he has not got a lot of sleep lately with him and his dad always at it and with losing part of the gang. Soda was on the floor next to their bed that Pony was in, he was stroking Pony's hair. Pony looked so weak and in pain.
"How is he feeling"
"Real hot dar"
We tried to wake him up but Pony did not budge. We then decided to let him be and try again later. I look over to where Steve is. He is asleep in the desk chair, almost falling off.
"Soda help me put Steve on the couch he looks real tired"
"Ok dar"
We get Steve on the couch and he stirred awake. Then Soda spoke once more.
"Go back to sleep Steve you need it."
He fell back asleep instantly I guess he was tired. After that I went to check on Pony again. I walk into his room and sit on the edge of the bed.
"P-pony, sweety can you wake up for me." I was super worried about him. I just hope he does not get as sick as the last time. When ever he gets sick it's not a little one day sickness, it's a full blown disease. Then pony started to stir. He was mumbling and I could not really understand him.
"Pony are you ok, what's the matter."
".......i....i-it hurts Darry" he said in a low voice.
"Where does it hurt Pony can you tell me so I can help you." I was not sure if he would answer because he was so out of it.
"........mmmm head..........."
"Ok do you want medicine" but I got no answer he was fast asleep again. This is gonna be a long day. He was so weak. It hurt me that he was sick. All I wanted to do it keep him safe. I wish none of this ever happened to him. The next day and a half was the same Pony mumbling stuff about hurting, Johnny, Dally, Soda, even mom and dad. I really hope he'll wake up soon he has not ate or drank anything because he is so weak he will only be a wake for a matter of seconds. I fell asleep in the desk chair, hoping he will wake up soon.
I wake up hours later to soda shaking me. I jolt awake standing up.
"I'm up, I'm up." I say.
"Sorry Dar, Pony's awake." Soda says.
I walk over to him sitting up on the bed.
"How you feeling little buddy." I say running my fingers through his hair.
"I'm feeling great actually, a little hungry." Pony said looking down at his hands.
"Well we will see what the thermometer says."
I take his temp and it's back to normal. He then pulls me into a hug and Soda joins in.
"I love you guys" I say hugging my bothers extra tight.
