The Curtis Sister

Part 8

*Princess*

Darry asks, "What happened?"

I sniffle and say, "W- well, at the very beginning when I was at the girls home," I start from the beginning, "A couple came in and wanted to adopt, I refused to answer any of their questions and was a straight up brat, I thoughts it was weird when they still adopted me, there wasn't much I could do, Ralph, the guy, he packed my bag for me because I refused to come and practically dragged me into the car. 

I gulp down the lump in my throat and say, "H- he, beat me, he wanted me to dress like Soc's and wear makeup and shit, I refused but the beating got worse and he said if I didn't he'd beat the other girls too," Tears brim my eyes, "So I went along, I still got beat from time to time, but it wasn't as bad as before, I hated it so much though, h- his wife knew about it too but she's just push me around and slap me a bit. S- so, tonight, I was asleep in my room, I have both keys to the room so no one can come in, it was locked, b- but, the girls stole the spare key off me a- and," Tears brim my eyes again, "and Elaine put sleeping pills in my drink, I didn't drink the drink though because it smelled weird." I take a deep breath and they all look very concerned, "R- Ralph came into my room," They all freeze and there eyes are wide, "H- he got on top of me and started t- touching me,"

"Did he...?" Sodapop asks.

"N- no," I say, "I kneed him in the balls before he could get too far and shoved him off me, I climbed out the window and ran here." I chuckle but in a cold way, "The funny thing is, the only reason I didn't run away w- was because he said he'd beat the other girls, b- but they set me up."

I burry my face in Darry's chest, he strokes my back as I cry.

Darry says, "I'm gonna kill him."

I laugh a little and say, "C- can, I come home?"

He smiles a little and says, "Of course Princess, I can talk to the judge again to see if I can get you back."

I nod and yawn a bit and say, "I'm going to bed."

They nod and watch me walk to my room which is exactly the same as when I left it.

I change into my pyjamas and snuggle into my blankets.
