Johnny Cade's little sister

Chapter 10

"I understand that Ponyboy but I'm not sure if we can take them."

"Darry, she can't leave.."

"I get that kiddo, but it's not in my hands.."

I could hear people but I wasn't awake. From the sound of it, it's Darry and Ponyboy arguing about something.

Where the hell was I? I think I'm in Ponyboy's bed. The bed dipped down and I felt someone press their lips to my forehead. Finally my eyes fluttered open and I saw Ponyboy looking down at me.

"Oh finally you're awake." he said and pushed back my hair.

I tried sitting up a little bit but there was so much pain in my forehead.

"What happened?" I groaned and pressed my palm to my head hoping to ease the pain.

"Well I was kinda hopin' you could tell me." Ponyboy replied.

Flashbacks of my father barging in my room as I was changing my clothes and forcing himself on me popped into my mind.

"Can they uhm.." I stuttered and nodded my head towards the door for the few people in the room to exit.

"Guys could we have a minute, please?"

Once they were all gone I looked Pony in the eyes and we started at eachother for moment.

"Please tell me what happened." He breathed out holding my hands in his.

"Well, I...I was changing out of my pajamas and walking around my room trying to find something to wear when he literally knocked the door down and.." I couldn't talk, I could feel the tears in my eyes.

Ponyboy nodded in encouragement for me to continue.

"I've never been so scarred in my life Pony. I wanted to die, I wish he would've killed me just so he would stop."

Ponyboy looked at me in confusion and I was crying now. I was trying to tell him but every time I tried, I just started to cry harder.

"Liz, please tell me." Ponyboy pulled me into his lap and wrapped his arms around me.

"He touched me... " I was in hysterics now. I couldn't stop crying and every second I was crying harder and harder.

Ponyboy was wrocking me back and fourth as I cried into his chest. He kissed the top of my head.

"Why does this keep happening to me."I whispered through my tears.

I looked up at Ponyboys face. His eyes were a bit red and his cheeks were wet with tears. He pursed his lips and hugged me tighter to his chest.

"They're never gonna hurt you again."

He held me for a little while in his arms, quoting paragraphs from the many books he's read. Including my favorite. We were sadly interrupted when all the boys waltzed in.

"So how are ya Liz?" Dally asked while taking a seat in Ponyboys room.

How was I? I was a damn mess.

"I'm okay.." I decided to not let them worry about me much more.

"Well, why don't we do somethin' fun. No more of this sad bullshit." Two-bit suggested.

For the rest of the night we all played a ton of silly games like, truth or dare, would you rather. I found a few new things about Ponyboy. He's only kissed one girl and prefers brunettes. Not much information but it's something.

Before I knew it, I was asleep with my head on Pony's shoulder while the boys were all arguing about something like which chick was hotter.
