The Curtis Sister

Chapter 6

Darry's P.O.V

I'm sitting in the living room watching Kami sleep, when Pony and Soda both come into the living room. Pony sits on the arm of the couch by Kami's feet and Soda takes a seat on the floor.

"Is Kami going to be okay?" Pony asks with his voice breaking towards the end.

"Yeah, kiddo I think she'll be just fine. She's just a little sick right now. That's all." I reply.

I look back over at Kami and her pale face is scrunched up in pain. Soda looks back over at me sighing.

"Dar, do you think we should take her to the doctor?" Soda asks.

"We can't exactly afford it right now. If she gets any worse then we'll take her."

He nods satisfied with my answer. All of a sudden the door swings open and in trots Two-Bit followed by Steve, Dally, and Johnny.

"Honey, I'm home!" Announces Two-Bit.

"Don't let the door slam and be quiet would ya? Kami's real sick and tryin to sleep." Pony snapped

Johnny grabs the door before it can slam and all four of them stop dead in their tracks at the sight of Kami.

"What's wrong with the kid?" Dally asked.

"I don't know, but she's real sick. Passed out in the bathroom before you got here and cut her forehead open." I said.

"She's been sleepin since," Soda added.

The gang sits down on the floor. Kami begins to stir in her sleep. She opens her eyes and then shuts them immediately. A groan escapes her mouth.

"Kami, baby, what's wrong?" I asked.

"My head hurts real bad and I feel like I'm spinning." She replied.

Johnny whispers, "Hey Dar, maybe you should get her in her bed so she can relax."

I nod and walk over to Kami. "I'll go get you some aspirins." I softly say to her.

I walk into the bathroom and grab the aspirin bottle from the sink. I open the cap and dump two from the bottle into my hand.

"Here take these." I hand her the pills and pick up her water from the floor.

She puts the pills in her mouth and takes a small sip of water. She swallows them and closes her eyes again.

"I'll take you up into our room so you can sleep better. Steve can you help me?" Soda said.

Steve nods and gets up from his seated position on the floor. Soda picks Kami up with Steve supporting her. Kami groans at the movement.

"Sorry kid. I know you ain't feelin too good," Steve says.

I follow them up the stairs and open the door. Soda gently places Kami on the bed.

"Can you stay with me, Soda?" She asked.

"Of course honey."

Soda climbs into bed with her, and Steve and I walk out of the room gently shutting the door behind us.
