The Curtis Sister

Chapter 6

School for the past week has been dragging and I haven't been wanting to go but if I don't I'll never hear the end of it from Darry. If I could just drop out like Sodapop I would but I know Darry won't let me. I mean I was a Sophomore.
Luckily the day went by and I was getting ready for another work day. As I was coming out of the school I saw Daxtyn. I froze and he looked over at me with a smirk. I ran down the school steps and in the direction of work. I didn't know if he was following me or not but I didn't look to find out. By the time I got to work and I was just about to go in I was turned around and my back was slammed against the wall.
"Hello my love. Why you running away from me? I'm your boyfriend and you shouldn't be running from your boyfriend." Daxtyn said.
"You are not my boyfriend and never will be again!" I yelled at him. He then slapped me on the cheek.
"Don't you ever raise your voice at me! You belong to me!" Daxtyn said through gritted teeth.
"Go to hell!" I said and he slapped me again this time hard enough to cause me to go flying to the ground.
"What is going on out here?" I look up to see my boss Aaron Matthews.
"Nothing. Remember what I said Courtney. And watch your back." Daxtyn said and walked away.
I wiped my tears and my boss helped me up.
"Are you alright?" Aaron asked
"I'm fine just some boy trouble that's all." I said and walked into the diner.
"Are you sure you can work?" My boss Aaron asked
"Yes I'll be fine." I said and went to clock in.
"What happened?" Katie said worriedly as I clocked in.
"Daxtyn." That was all I had to say and Katie understood.
"Courtney I really think you should report this." Katie said.
I could then feel tears come to my eyes. I've done that before and it didn't help.
"Don't you think I have? As soon as my brothers saw him hit me when we were dating my brothers called the cops. They wanted to do more than that but Darry and my brothers couldn't risk it because they would either be sent to jail as well or put in a boys home and me a girls home. Daxtyn was put in jail but he must of got out on good behavior or something because he's out now and making my life hell!" I said with tears in my eyes.
"Courtney." Katie said.
"Maybe I deserve it. Maybe I'm supposed to be with Daxtyn and let him use me as his punching bag." I say and fall to the floor in tears."
"No absolutely not! You deserve better." Katie said and hugged me.
I wiped my tears there was no use crying about it now. I got up and left to go wait some tables. It was going to be a long day. The day seemed to pick up around 6 and around 10 my boss said that since it was slow I could go home which I was fine with. I clocked out and was going to walk home when Katie stopped me.
"Maybe you should call your brother to come get you." Katie said.
"I'll be fine." I said with a slight smile even though I probably just told her a lie. I wouldn't let Daxtyn scare me though.
I know Darry would be mad that I was walking home alone at night but I just need to be alone right now to think. How was I going to get Daxtyn to leave me alone. Even if I dated someone else he would probably still bother me. I thought as I continued my walk home. I was so lost I my thoughts that I didn't see someone behind me. I was knocked out of my thoughts when someone grabbed me. I went to scream but they covered my mouth as. I kicked them in the knee.
"Ah!" the guy said groaning in pain and I took the opportunity to run home. I was almost there when I was tackled to the ground.
"Sodapop!" I screamed calling for my twin brother but the guy gagged me and banged my head against the floor. The last thing I saw was a black snake tattoo similar to the one Daxtyn has and then I blacked out after that.

Sodapop's POV
I was watching Darry pace back and forth as Pony was already asleep because it was a school night. He was worried about Courtney since she normally calls him if she's going to be working late but she hasn't called.
"She hasn't called. She always call if she's going to work late." Darry said worried.
"I'm sure she's fine Darry." I said even though I was a little worried about my twin sister. I had a feeling something was wrong though but I didn't want to admit it.
"Sodapop!" I heard faintly but loud enough to hear. I sprung up from the couch and out the house followed by Darry.
"Hey!" I yelled and the guy ran off.
Once the guy ran off and I was  closer with Darry not far behind my eyes widened.
"Courtney!" I yelled and kneeled by her with Darry. Her uniform was ripped again, and her bra was exposed,her face was bruised but that's all I could see. Darry picked her up and brought her inside the house with me following behind. Why does this keep happening? Why does our sister keep getting targeted in particular. Once we were inside Darry set Courtney down on the couch.
"What are we gonna do? Courtney keeps getting attacked." I say worried.
"I don't know little man, normally I can fix her right up but it looks worse than that. Call the hospital." Darry said with a worried look on his face. I dialed 911 as quick as I could and before I knew it we could hear the sirens outside.
"What's going on?" Pony yawned coming out of the room he and I shared with Courtney.
"We're taking Courtney to the hospital. She was attacked." Darry said just as EMT came in with a gurney and lifted our sister up.
"We can have one family member in the back with her." The EMT said.
"I'll go. I'm her twin brother." I said worried for my sister.
"Pony and I will meet you at the hospital." Darry said and with that I got into the ambulance with my sister who I prayed was alright. We couldn't lose her like we lost mom and dad. Please let her be alright.
