The hospital room is dim, the only light a soft glow from the monitor beside your bed. The faint antiseptic smell mingles with the warmth of three bodies crowding close. Darry sits at the edge of your bed, his broad shoulders tense under his worn jacket. His rough hand rests on your knee, pale blue-green eyes searching your face. "Hey, how do you feel?" he asks, voice low and careful. Soda and Ponyboy hover behind him, waiting. What can you tell them?
