Chapter 21: Saying Goodbye

October 10th 1955

5 minutes later

Packard, Sammy and Sandra came over to the Hospital as T-Bones and Dash stayed home, They wanted to tell Luanne the great news. When they went to her original room they saw that Luanne was moved so they knew she wasn't doing well so they went to the room where people aren't doing well, When they arrived to Luanne's new room they saw she was connected to several IV tubes and she barely kept her eyes open but they wanted to tell her anyways

SH: There she is!

PC: Poor Luanne, She didn't do nothing...

SD: Not my poor poor baby.... I don't want her to die yet, She's too precious for this world

PC: Yeah, I was the one who did give her a home and a family

Luanne soon had the energy to speak up and move her head but she was weak in anything else, She looked up at the three and spoke but she only talked in a whisper because of how badly hurt she was now as Packard and Sandra gathered around her except for Sammy.

LP: Why are you here?

PC: We did it

LP: Wait, Really?

SD: We did it Lulu, We're driving the Rich Kids out of our city for good

Luanne smiled and chuckled but she noticed Sammy didn't join the crowd so she called her over, She noticed Sammy was sad about something so she wanted to talk with her to see if she was ok

LP: Sammy... come closer...

SH: Sure Luanne, I'm heading over there. What is it that you need? We're with you...

Sammy came closer and was at the right side of the bed, Luanne looked over at Sammy who didn't face her body nor her head towards her so she decided to get her to look at her to see if she would budge

LP: Please... turn to me.....

Sammy abidingly did so and knelt down near Luanne as she looked at her with a lifeless glare that seemed to shimmer her eyes a little bit, Sammy knew she shouldn't make Luanne sad in any way so she decided not to tell her what happened to Julie because it would shatter her heart

SH: Don't worry, I'm here for you Luanne....

LP: Is it true that I'll die?

SH: NO! Don't say that!

LP: Well, before that time comes... I wish to give out my last will...

Sammy knew Luanne was in very bad shape and she had to get it over with even if it would break Sandra and Packard's heart, Sammy nodded with a sad expression on her face which meant Sammy didn't want to bear any minute of it but she had to.

SH: ......... go ahead....... if you must.......

Luanne soon breathed heavily, closed her eyes and re-opened them to deliver what she had said because it wouldn't be easy to say to the friends she came to know.

LP: My friends, I will not be with you for much longer.... but I have came up with thought as I lay in bed at this hospital.... And before my time is up, There's something I wish to tell you all... Everyone that isn't me will know the blessings of old age...... Like Julie who hasn't shown up......

Sammy knew she had to break the news to Luanne even if it meant her heart was going to shatter into a million pieces at least, But she had to deliver the bad news solemnly and straightforward

SH: Well, We only won because.. Julie's dead

LP: what?........... Julie's dead?!

SH: Yeah.. We didn't want to tell you because.... We thought your heart would shatter into a million pieces..

Instead of crying, Luanne internally cried and had accepted Julie's death as a great sacrifice to the Greasers of Las Vegas. Though Luanne was depressed that her best friend and her parents died she knew she had to accept fate, She knew that life brings unexpected solutions to expected situations

LP: Well.... she lived a short yet beautiful life....... but she will be in hell with me....... As I was saying, You Sandra.... You will soon be old enough to meet someone just like you...... once you've given the last of your strength, You will be with me some day and so will your husband.... You Packard, You have supported me all these past few weeks of my newfound life with you even with having Angela as a companion.... And you gave me a family when I was an orphan... So I see you up in the heavens where I won't be.....

Luanne finally looked to Sammy, She had to be clear with what she had to say and she had to be sure Sammy didn't cry in the end

LP: And finally Sammy, You have sought and cared for me for many years..... Since you will live longer than most.... my last words to you are....... Stay Smiling Sammy..... Stay.........

Before Luanne could finish her sentence, She moved her head to the side and took her last breath... and died... As that happened, The Death of Old Major on the TV Luanne was watching played and it showed the animals crying. Sammy turned the TV off and started crying again but didn't want to lose hope on Luanne.

PC: no.........

SD: Not Luanne......

Sammy tried lightly shaking Luanne to try and wake her up and telling her she should wake up... nothing happened... Sammy tried not to lose hope but it felt difficult to manage, Sammy had to pull herself together to get Luanne back

SH: Come on Luanne....... wake up........

Soon, Sammy lost hope that Luanne was going to make it. She faced the facts again and laid her head on Luanne's stomach as she started crying, Sammy tried not to cry but she burst again and she knew there was no way to hide her pain anymore.

SH: No........... not Luanne too.........
