Chapter 8

Soda's POV

We've been waiting for the doctor to come out and tell us when we can go in to see Steve for about 20 minutes and I was getting real anxious. I was just so worried about Steve, he was all that was in my mind. Pony called up the rest of the gang to let them know what happened so they should be heading here. The doctor came out and called my name and told me that only I could go in because I was the one who brought him here. I run down the hall to Steve's room and carefully open the door.

"Who's there?" I here Steve ask

"It's just me man, how ya feeling?" I ask as I walk over to him and sit down in one of the chairs next to him

"I'm feeling just dandy Soda." He says sarcastically and I laugh at his response

It goes quiet for a moment and then I ask, "So who did that to ya?", I point to his wound

"O-oh it was my dad........" he then looks away from me

"Why'd he do that?!? Was he drunk?!? He had to be drunk!!"

"Yeah he was drunk and he uh came home and started callin my name so went out of my room to find him. When I got down there he p-pushed me to the ground and started punching and kicking me. I tried to fight back but he was to s-strong and then he went and got I knife and started cuttin me with it, I assumed he was upset about something and he was just takin his anger out on me. But eventually the cuts got even deeper and he ended up, well he ended up stabbin me......" Steve responded shamefully

"Oh Stevie, I'm sorry he did that to ya, I swear I'm gonna kick his ass when you get outta here!" I say angrily

"D-don't! It'll only cause more trouble and more beatings!"

"I won't let him do that ever-"

"Hey y'all, I hope I didn't interrupt anything." Two-bit said as he walks in with the rest of the gang

"Nope you didn't Two..." I tell him

"How are ya feelin Steve?"

"I'm in pain but that's about it."

"Hey as long as you ain't dyin!" Two-bit laughs out

"Say uh where's dally at?" Steve asks

"He got jailed again for fighting." Darry responds

"Do ya know when he'll be out?"

"No, we haven't found out yet."

We all talked for a little while longer until we all left Steve and headed home. When Pony, Darry, and I got home I went to me and Pony's room because I had a lot of things to think about. Once I got into our room I flopped on the bed and just stayed there.

'I felt really bad for Steve, he didn't deserve to get be beat! His beautiful face was all banged up, I m-mean h-his face was all b-bangs up. I'm not gay or anything, it wouldn't be right to like him. A-and I don't like him.......do I? Oh great might like my best friend this is just wonderful.'

That's the end of chapter 8! I'm sorry it took so long, I've had a lot of things to do in school and I didn't have time to write but I promise to be more active!
