Dally's POV
It's been a month since the accident. Her school called and says she has one more week or she's out. The gang and her family stays here all the time. They even gave us some guest rooms we can use until a patient needs them. The other Steve and Jack have came by a few times. Caden stays and Ty, Paula, and Bryan come and visit everyday. When it's time to eat we all go to the snack room and eat lunch, except Steve, our Steve. He won't leave the room. He says he wants to be there when he wakes up. We all know she's gonna wake up but we're starting to lose our faith. Greg only goes down for awhile to grab his food but goes right back to her room. He takes Randle food too. I think the two have grown closer together. I've actually started to pray some since all this happened. Shocker right?? The Dallas Winston praying. I'm sure God doesn't listen to me because of everything I've done but Skylar told me he still listens. If it could help sis I'm gonna do it. The Doctor says we need to pull the plug but that's out of the question. He doesn't even ask anymore. He's just wasting his breath.
"Let's go get something to eat. I'm starvin." Two-bit announced. Everyone agreed.
"What do you want Randle?" Greg asked.
"The usual." He mumbled. Greg nodded. We headed to the snack room.
"How much longer do you think it'll be." I asked Greg.
"I don't know man. Hopefully less than a week." He answered.
"Maybe she's awake but is seeing how long we'll hold out." I shrugged.
"She knows we'll never give up on her, at least I won't anyway."
"I won't either man. She'll make it through this. She's a strong girl." I told him.
"Thanks Dal. Maybe today's the day." He smiled. He hasn't smiled this whole time. Maybe that's a sign of good luck. We were almost there when someone grabbed my shoulder.
"Who in the hell.." Someone cut me off.
"It's Doctor Bentley. Can I talk to you?" He asked.
"Sure. What do you want?" I questioned him.
"Follow me." He walked off. I followed him and we ended up in his office. He closed the door.
"Have a seat." He motioned to a couch. I sat down.
"What's this all about?"
"You're good friends with Greg and the rest of em right?" He asked me.
"Yeah real good." I leaned up getting curious.
"Do me a favor will ya?"
"Depends what it is."
"Talk some sense into them. You seem like a realistic guy. Shelby's NOT gonna make it. Do what's best for her, pull the plug." I stayed quiet for awhile. I can't believe what he just said!! I sighed leaning back and putting my hand on my forehead.
"Who do you think you are?" I asked calmly.
"Excuse me?" He asked confused.
"D-did I-I st-st-stutter?!?!" I yelled stuttering on purpose. I jumped up and stood in front of his desk and leaned towards him getting in his face with my hands on the desk. "I said WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!! Did you understand me that time?!?!"
"I'm a family friend and a doctor who is doing what's best for my patient." He stated matter-of-factly.
"Well let me tell you who I am. I'm Dallas Winston. The bad boy of Tulsa who can't do anything right. I never had a chance. But now I do. And do you know why!??! Because of that girl laying in that hospital bed. The girl you want to pull the plug on. Do you know why I have a chance because of her?! Because if she hadn't came to Tulsa I wouldn't of ever met Skylar. And I'm NOT pulling the plug on her and I'm NOT asking anyone to. Would you pull the plug on someone you cared about?! Would you want someone to pull the plug on you?! Have a nice day Doctor." I turned around and knocked some papers off his desk with my arm in the process. And just to make my point I slammed his door. I flipped the collar of my jacket and went to the snack room.
"Where've ya been Dal?" Skylar asked me.
"I had to take a waz." I shrugged.
"Ok." She said. I got a pack of white powdered donuts and a Coke. The breakfast of champions.
"Did Greg already go back up there?" I asked licking my fingers. We were all sitting at a round table eating.
"Yeah he went up there a little before you came in." Darry said after swallowing a bite of his granola bar.
"Guess we better head back to." I stood up and stretched my arms.
"Alright." Skylar said standing up. When I put my arms down I put one around her shoulders.
We walked back to Shelby's hoping that when we got there she was awake. And when we walked in guess what?? We saw something we haven't seen in a LONG time...........Randle was finally asleep. He was sitting in a chair by her bed holding her hand.
"He was out when I got here." Greg said.
"That's good. We all need more sleep. We have bags under our eyes." Sodapop said.
"You got that right." Ponyboy chimed in.
"Let's all get some sleep then." Blake yawned. So we did. We made pallets on the floor and brought in some cots and took a nap. A very much needed nap.
"GUYS WAKE UP!!!!!" Steve yelled. Everyone moaned and groaned. This better be good. "ITS SHELBY SHE MADE A NOISE AND SQUEEZED MY HAND!!!!" Steve exclaimed. Everyone jumped up instantly.
"Hey sis I know you have it in ya. Just open up your eyes. You can do it." Greg smiled holding her hand. She moaned again. We all looked at each other with hope in our eyes. She's gonna do it. I knew she would. She could survive on the streets of New York. If you can do that, you can do anything.
"Somebody go get the Doc." Darry said.
"I'm on it." Ponyboy ran to the door. "DOCTOR!!! OH DOCTOR!!!!"
"I could've done that." Darry said.
"But you didn't. I did."
"Whatever Pone." Darry answered. The Doctor came charging in.
"What is it?!" He asked breathlessly. About that time Shelby moaned. He looked at her with astonishment. His mouth a gap.
"Come on baby. You can do it." Steve coaxed her. She yawned.
"Come on." "Open your eyes sis." "A little bit more Minnie." "Let's go Benwilpott." Everyone was saying things like this staring at her. Then, her eyes fluttered open. SHE'S AWAKE!!! We couldn't help but cheer. Her eyes were open but she wasn't talking.
"Why isn't she talking? She never stops talking." Greg asked.
"Sometimes it takes awhile for someone to get back all their functions." Doctor Bentley said. Shelby's mouth was moving but nothing was coming out.
"What are you trying to say?" Steve asked her smiling.
"W-wh..." She struggled to say. "W-who a-are y-you??" Steve's smile dropped. He forced himself to smile again.
"It's me. Steve."
"You don't look like Steve Adair." She said slowly. She looked so confused. Well hell.
"Can this happen?" Greg asked.
"Sometimes after stuff like that happens people do loss some of their memory, usually they forget major parts of their life but it usually it comes back though." The Doc explained.
"Do you know who I am?" Greg asked her.
"Yeah. I know who you all are except him." She answered. Steve looked like he was gonna get sick. His face was pale.
"Shelby, honey, I'm your boyfriend Steve." Steve said hoping she would remember.
"No. You're not my boyfriend. My boyfriend is Caden Unger." Holy shit.
