Courtney's POV
I have been home for three days now and I just wasn't the same anymore. If anything I was just like Johnny. I was scared of everything. I would jump when someone slammed the door and I would even jump when someone in the gang snuck up on me. The worst part is I don't even know who raped me. Darry and Soda were at work while Ponyboy stayed home with me to make sure I was alright.
"Come on Courtney please eat something." Ponyboy asked as I laid on the couch watching Mickey Mouse.
"I'm not hungry." I said. I felt so broken that I didn't want to do anything including eating.
"Please Baby girl."Ponyboy said as he kneeled in front of me.
"Please don't call me that anymore Pony. I-I just want to be left alone." I said with tears in my eyes and turned so my back was facing him and I heard him get up with a sigh. I then closed my eyes and tried to get some sleep.Ponyboy's POV
I was so worried about Courtney I mean she doesn't even want to be called baby girl anymore? Why though? We always call her that. She wasn't eating and jumps at everything like Johnny maybe worse. I was starting to get worried and I know Darry and Soda were as well. What were we gonna do? I sighed as my sister fell asleep and went over to the phone. I decided to call Soda. I mean I know he's at work, but I need to talk to him.
"Hello?" I heard Steve answer.
"Steve? Is Soda there? It's Pony." I said.
"Yeah hold on." Steve said and I could hear him call Soda.
"Hello?" Soda said.
"Soda it's me Pony. Listen I'm worried about Courtney." I said.
"I know, we all are little buddy." Soda said.
"I mean really worried Soda. She hasn't eaten anything for the past three days, she jumps at everything, even more then Johnny and she said the strangest thing before she fell asleep on the couch." I said.
"What's that?" Soda asked.
"She doesn't want to be called baby girl anymore." I said as I looked over at my sleeping sister.
"That is strange. Well I'll be home in a little while and then we'll figure something out. I had a feeling something was wrong, but just brushed it aside. I guess it's our twin thing." Soda said with a slight chuckle trying to lift the mood.
"Okay. I'll try again to see if I can get her to eat something when she wakes up but I'm not having any luck." I said and hung up.
I decided to read my gone with the wind book until Courtney woke up. By the time she had woken up I was halfway through the book.
"How you feeling?" I asked.
"Fine. I'm gonna go shower." Courtney said and went to our room to grab some clothes and went into the bathroom to shower. Even though, it was almost dinner time I decided to whip up some eggs which I was hoping she would eat. I then looked at the clock Darry and Soda should be home soon. As if on queue Soda and Darry walked in.
"Hey Pony. Where's Courtney?" Sodapop asked and I pointed to the bathroom.
"Soda told me you can't get her to eat anything?" Darry asked.
"No. All she does is lay on the couch and either sleep or watch tv. I'm hoping she'll eat the eggs I made her but I doubt it." I said and put the eggs on a plate. Just then Courtney came out of the bathroom in some shorts and a white top and blue flannel over it.
"Hey Dar, Hey Soda." Courtney said with a slight smile.
"Hey baby girl." Soda said. I think he was testing to see if what I said was true.
"Please don't call me that anymore." Courtney said sadly.
"Why not?" Soda asked.
"Just don't! Okay!" Courtney said yelling at Soda which was shocking because she never yells at Soda and I could tell by Soda's face that he was a little upset.
Courtney then ran to our room and slammed the door. I walked over to our room and was about to knock when I heard crying. I decided to leave her alone for a bit.
"Hey little buddy she probably didn't mean it." Darry said trying to comfort Soda.
"What's wrong with our sister?! I know she's hurting. I can feel it. Why won't she talk to me? Why won't she talk to us?!" Soda yelled and had tears in his eyes and I just sat on his other side as Darry and I side hugged him. How could we help our sister if she wouldn't let any of us in?
