I reloaded the gun. I could tell there was only one bullet left for me. "Ponyboy don't." I heard Curly. Which made me open my eyes again. Surprised he would tell me to not shoot myself. I thought he didn't care about anybody. "Goodbye." I simply said. I wanted this all to end already. I hated being in this situation just shoot already Ponyboy. Just pull the trigger.. It's not that fucking hard.

I heard running which made me panic and when I pulled the trigger I saw Curly push me back and I just blacked out.

I opened my eyes slowly and groaned from a splitting headache. I was in my room. Not in the dorms but my actual room at home. I didn't know what was happening. The room was pretty empty though obviously. I sat up. I wasn't really in pain just the headache was killing me.

I heard talking across the hallway. I looked at my clock which showed 5:29 am. So it was dark and why anyone would be awake at this time so I got up and when I stood on my legs I instantly fell. The talking stopped and I knew they would come toward me. It was probably Darry and Soda. I mean it wouldn't be a stranger in the house.

I remained on the floor struggling to get up. I guess my legs haven't been used in a while. What day is it? "Who's in here?!" I heard Darry say as he swings the door wide open. I gasp by how loud he was and damn he was scary. "Pony? You're awake??" He stood there in shock. "Yeah.." I managed. I was confused.

He helped me up and sat me back down on the bed. "Oh my god finally. Do you remember anything?" He sits next to me. "Well, no. I don't remember anything actually. Do you?" I asked. "Yeah. Someone named Curly pushed you for some reason, the bastard, and you fell and hit your head hard on something. Probably a tree but I don't know.. I'm still shocked that you're finally awake." He trailed off.

I furrow my eyebrows. Well shit. That's what happened? Why would Curly push me.. why. I wished I remembered what happened. "You were at the hospital as well until they told me you were fine to be on your own." He adds.

"What day is it?" I turned to him. "February 3rd." He bit his lip and ready to see my reaction. I went stiff. I wanted to scream but that would make my headache worse. I just freaked out instead. "Was I in a coma or something???" I asked quickly. "Yeah it's not that big of a deal though you're awake now." He tells me. What the fuck. That's scary. "What was the date when I got my head hit."

"Like December 16th." He answered. I gasp quietly. "Damn my head hurts. Where's Sodapop?" I ask him. "He's just in bed." Darry says. I nod. "I'm thirsty. Can you get me a root beer." I say as I try getting up but immediately sat back down when I knew I was gonna fall again. "No no. Water." He reminds me and walks out the room. I rolled my eyes.

That's still surprising to me. I've been asleep for fucking 7 weeks or some shit I'm just guessing but that's scary. I wanna see Dally. I miss him so much. I want to cuddle with him and hear his voice telling me how much he loves me. I laid back down with my head on the pillow. I only had my boxers on and it was cold so I covered myself with the blanket. Darry came in and gave me the glass of water. I drank it quickly and finished it.

"Are you sick or your head just hurts." He asks and I told him it was just my head that was hurting. He left and I just sat there on my own. I reached for books from my shelf. Almost fell off my bed but I successfully got one book. I took the dust out. My bookshelf use to be always cleaned until I moved out so it's all super dusty.

I read the book. It was about the holocaust and I really liked it. I read this already so this would be my second time. When it started getting brighter outside I tried getting up and I finally got myself to walking. Not that hard but I guess I just had trouble since I was basically 'paralyzed'. Not really.

This was like the time where I was jumped and got my legs and everywhere fucked and couldn't walk that much. I walked down the hallway into the living room. Steve was in the kitchen cooking something. I walked closer to him. "Hey Steve." I said and he jumped and turned around to look at me. "Ponyboy?" He says in shock. I didn't think he would react like that. Honestly I thought he would be 'oh hi pony. haven't seen you in a while.'

I guess he does care about me. I mean you would be evil to not. "Oh cool you're up." He says and I frowned. I thought wrong, it's just the same old Steve that will remain an asshole. Whatever. "Yeah I am. What're you cooking?" I asked and he wraps his arms around me. I blushed.

"Look Ponyboy, to be honest I don't hate you at all okay I'm actually really glad you're okay." He holds tighter. "Wow really that's really good to hear." I smiled. I was so happy Steve cared because I'm really done with all these jerks. I hug him back and closed my eyes. "I love you Pony." I heard and I opened my eyes again. "As a friend or...." I asked. "A friend obviously, shut up." He says. "Plus I have my eye on someone else." He lets go of me and folds his arms over his chest.

"Okay good. I have my eye on someone else too. Who is it?" I asked. "None of your business, kid." He flicks me on the forehead and I flinched. Dammit Steve... I sighed and just look around. He continues cooking. "What're you eating?" I tried looking. "That's also none of your business and I'm cooking for someone." Steve tells me. I glared at him with my suspicious cute eyes. He got uncomfortable. "Stop looking at me like that you're freaking me out." He says and I just laughed.

I decided to sit on the couch and turn on the tv. I missed this house. I started watching this thriller. Ahh, my favorite. Dally got me into his favorite movies as well anyway.

When it got a little brighter, Sodapop came out and gasped. "Wait PONYBOYY? You're alive?" He asks and I was confused. Was I gonna die or.. oh well. I smiled at him and we hugged for a long time. He told me how much he missed me and all that. That was shocking. Usually he had an attitude around me since I would always treat him like I was his mom I guess.

He backs away. We talked for a bit about how I was doing at my new school and other questions I didn't really like. Then he sat down at the dinner table and I see Steve give Soda food. Hmm. So he was cooking for him. Does Steve like Soda. Um. Hahaha..

I walk to sit next to Soda and smirked at Steve. He knew where I was getting at and he flashed me with a middle finger. The expression on his face told me to fuck off, I felt that. Sodapop started eating. "So, Pony, Darry told me that you'll be staying here for a bit and won't be going to school until next week." Soda tells me.

I nod. "Oh okay I can't wait then. I want to see this one person already."

Hope you enjoyed this chapter. I was gonna write Dally's POV the whole time while Pony was in a coma but I think it would be super boring and I wouldn't know what to do anyway since I don't really got much main characters PFFFF

Do you think anything bad is gonna happen when he goes back to school?

Do you think something happened to Dally and we don't know it?

What do you think happened to Curly?
