The Curtis Sister

Chapter 13

Courtney's POV
It's been a week since I was in the hospital and I started remember more and more about my attack. I didn't really talk much anymore and I could tell it was hurting my brothers, especially Soda, and the gang that I wasn't my usual happy, tough self. I just didn't know what to feel anymore. I felt so broken and wondered if I would ever be the same again. I sighed and decided to change into some light blue jeans and a black t shirt and a red flannel. I decided to come out of my room even though I really didn't want to. But, I know my brothers are worried and it pains me that they are worrying about me.
"Well look who finally decided to join the living." I heard Two-bit say.
"Lay off Two-bit." Darry said.
"How ya feeling kid?" Darry asked, but I didn't answer and did something unexpected. I hugged Darry and buried my head into his chest as I cried. I didn't have to look away from his chest to know that the gang had shocked looks on their faces.
"I-I feel so broken D-Darry." I cried into his chest.
"Courtney." I heard Darry say. I then looked up at him with tears in my eyes.
"The nightmares they won't stop. I keep thinking back to that night. I-I keep remembering different things. Stuff I couldn't remember before." I said with tears in my eyes.
"Courtney. Why didn't you tell us this before?" Sodapop said getting up from the couch and walking over to me. I released my grip from Darry and hugged my twin brother.
"Because I was scared. I still am Soda. I-I feel broken and I'm so scared of everything. Heck I'm probably worse than Johnny now." I said and cry as I hug Soda.
"Shh it'll be alright. We'll get through this." Sodapop said.
"Soda's right Courtney. You got Darry, Soda and I plus the gang." Ponyboy said coming over to me.
"Thanks." I say and hug Ponyboy.
Just then the phone rang. I decided to go sit on the couch by Soda as Darry answered the call. I really needed my twin brother right now.
"Soda?" I said.
"Yeah?" Soda said.
"I'm sorry." I said placing my head on his shoulder.
"For what?" Sodapop asked curiously.
"I'm sorry I didn't come and talk to you. I mean we're twins and I just felt so broken that I didn't want to talk to anyone." I said.
"It's okay. I understand. I mean I kind of figured something was wrong since we're twins and all." Sodapop said.
"Why didn't you say anything?" I asked curiously.
"Cause I know you needed space, but promise me that's from now on you'll come to me if you need to talk? Or Ponyboy or Darry? Or just someone. You had us scared and worried." Sodapop said with tears forming in his eyes. I lifted my head off his shoulder and wiped his tears.
"I promise Soda." I said and held my pinky out and he held his out and we did our famous twin pinky promise. I then wiped my tears and watched Mickey Mouse with my favorite twin brother.

Darry's POV
"Hello this is Darry Curtis?" I said answering the phone. Who would be calling? I mean the whole gang is here already.
"Yes, Mister Curtis this is Lieutenant Johnson. I was calling because we may have found your sisters rapist." Lieutenant Johnson said.
"That's great. Who is it?" I asked anxious to know who attacked my sister that night.
"Unfortunately, I can't say over the phone. Would it be possible for your sister to come down to make an identification?" Lieutenant Johnson checked.
"Yes we'll be right down." I said not bothering to ask my sister. Maybe this is what she needed. I said and hung up the phone. I then walked into the living room where the gang and my siblings were.
"Who was that Darry?" Sodapop asked.
"That was the cops. They may have found who attacked Courtney." I said and Sodapop and Ponyboy looked at our sister who was biting her lip nervously. A habit that she had when she got nervous or scared. She never really grew out of it.
"So who was it?" Ponyboy asked.
"The cop wouldn't say. We need to go down to the station so that Courtney can make an identification. But if you're not up to it sis we won't go." I said.
"No, I want to. I want to see who attacked me." Courtney said.
"Alright. You guys staying here?" I asked the gang and they just nodded.
"Soda and I will go with you." Ponyboy said. I nodded and we got in the truck to head to the station. Courtney held Soda's hand the entire ride there. The two have always been close being twins and all. They didn't even have to say anything to have a conversation because they always knew what the other was thinking or how the other was feeling. Once we got to the police station we headed inside to to face the bastard who attacked our sister.
