Dally's P.O.V.

We all rush out of the house and drive to the gas station we even pick up Darry from the supermarket.As we get to the gas station we see Darry bag, and a bloody Marianna laying limp next to the bag. I rush over to her as Soda slowly falls apart spiraling into tears. I look down to her pale face, and her tips of hair now red along with all her clothes. I lay down with my head on her bloody chest and hear nothing, I check her breathing to see that she isn't. I look at the boys and yell, "we need to get to her a hospital now!"

Marianna's P.O.V.

I walk toward to bright light, and step into it, I look around and release I'm dead. I see somebody who could be Soda's twin walk over to me and whisper, "Soda's in love with you."

"Um, who are you?" I ask her.

"I'm his mom," she smiles.

I look at her oddly and ask, "I hate to ask this but, am I dead?"

"Sweetie, you are but, they're trying to revive you, see," she says pointing down and I look down to see myself dead on a hospital bed. I start to cry but, then I get pulled back into real life, I keep going back and forth between dead and alive until I fully wake up. I look to see a nurse saying, "Marianna Rose Gomez, was legally dead for three minutes."

I look up at her and ask, "can I see the gang?"

"Tomorrow, we need to give you an x-ray, it looks like you could have some injuries. We gave you stitches when we reviving you," she informs me.

I get pulled into a room and go under X-rays, I sit there for a few minutes until a nurse comes in to announce, "looks like you broke your left arm in three different places, sprained your left wrist along with both your ankles."

"Great," I mumble under my breathe just loud enough for the nurse to hear.

"Sweetie, it could've been worse, you almost died," the nurse soothes.

"I know but, can I please see my friends. Please I really need them right now they're like my family and they're all I have," I half plead, half cry.

"Ok, let me calls them," she responds to my plea and walks out.

I hobble to my room and wait until I hear the door open. "Awe look at you, you're so broken," Soda cries.

"I thought we lost you," Dally said teary eyed. Yes, I call him Dally now, he earned it.

I reply with a smile but, my walls have only slightly come down.

"So we're back to this," Darry states the obvious even though we were never past it.

I nod and whisper, "we were never past it."

Soda looks at me with a sad face and asks. "why are your walls up? More importantly why are they up so high. We might never be able to get them down."

"I have to keep them up but, I did beg to see ya'll I promise," I tell them honestly.

"We believe you," Dally swore.

"Yea, we really do," Johnny piped up agreeing with Dally like always.

I smiled and winced in pain as I moved my ankle.

"You okay?" Darry asked seeing my pained face.

I nodded yes in response.

"Do you need anything?" Two wondered.

I shook my head this time even though I did need something, I needed my life back. I looked up at these boys I've grown to love and out of no where my walls break and I loose it, "I miss my life, I miss everything. I love you guys but, I can't take it, I'm in pieces. I can't handle the pressure! I don't know what I am going to do with my life, I miss Cherry! I even miss Randy even though we never truly loved each other, we had fun!"

The gang looks at each other not knowing what to do but, then Dally sits next to me and pulls me into a gently hug as I sob into his chest. He stokes my hair and whispers, "it's okay, shh Marianna I got you."

I hug Dally tighter and release that, I was looking for the wrong life, I'm meant to be a Greaser and with that my walls broke and weren't planning to get rebuilt.
