She was bored. Nothing to do. It was too hot to do anything outside and she couldn't do anything with anybody because she was home alone. Home alone… home alone… She thought. "Well," She said out loud. "Better take advantage of this moment because it sure as hell won't come again for a while…"

Unbuttoning her shorts, unzipping the zipper and locking her bedroom door, Jennifer did what any normal, maturing, hormonal teenager would do. She started masturbating… and it was grand.

oOoOoOo

"Where's your sister?" Two-Bit asked as he met Ponyboy, Sodapop, Steve and Johnny at the DX to head to the Curtis'.

"House." Soda answered. "She's been home since we all left this morning."

After the five started getting a move on at home, Steve spoke up. "Wait… so she's been home all day by herself. What has she been doing?"

Soda and Pony shrugged. "How would we know and why would we care? She's old enough to make her own decisions."

"How much ya wanna bet she's doing something she's not supposed to be?" Two-Bit asked as he elbowed quiet Johnny.

"Man, I don't care." Johnny said sourly.

"Two-Bit, stop talking about my sister like that or else Darry's gonna find out and get onto ya." Soda said as he shoved his hands down his pockets.

"I'm just guessing!" He laughed.

oOoOoOo

"Alright Curtis! You can go!" Mr. Daniels yelled to the eldest of the Curtis brothers.

Darry carefully scaled his way down the ladder and off the roof, removing his gloves and gathering his things. "See ya tomorrow boss!" He called as he got into his red pick-up truck.

"See ya Curtis!" Mr. Daniels called with a wave. Darry returned it and started his way towards his house; wondering what was for dinner and how Jennifer was doing.

oOoOoOo

Little did the guys know Jennifer was doing just fine. She was enjoying herself a little too much. This wasn't her first time pleasuring herself. She's done this plenty of times; in the shower; over at friends house (don't ask); home alone; sometimes even when the gang is over. She was pretty good at hiding it when there was people over, being super quiet and nonchalante. But when Jennifer was alone, she got into it; heavy breathing; moaning and groaning; fingering and rubbing; everything. Sometimes, she doesn't just use her hands. Not getting into detail with that, the front door opened. But Jennifer was too busy to notice.

oOoOoOo

"What's for dinner tonight Sodapop?" Ponyboy asked his brother as him, Soda, Steve, Two-Bit and Johnny walked in and took their rightful places in the living room: Two-Bit and Steve sprawled all over the floor, Johnny on the couch and Ponyboy at the kitchen table to do homework while Soda waltzed into the kitchen the start cooking.

"I don't know… I was kinda thinkin blue corn and maybe some green mashed potatoes. How 'bout that?" He asked, sliding off his shoes.

"Why not?" Ponyboy replied when suddenly, the eldest Curtis came through the door.

"Hey Superman!" Two-Bit called.

Darry hung up his jacket and, too, slid off his shoes. "Hey guys, where's Pony and Soda?" Darry said.

Steve pointed his arm up and towards the left. "Soda's starting dinner and Pony's doin… who cares?" Steve let his arm fall onto the floor and create a nice flopping noise."

Darry walked to the dining room and saw his youngest brother starting homework. He looked into the kitchen and saw Soda starting dinner. "Hey Pone." He greeted.

Without looking up, Pony answered his brother. "Hey Dar, how was work?"

Darry walked into the kitchen. "Same old, same old," Soda turned around and saw Darry. "Hey Pepsi-Cola."

"Sup Darry!" Soda yelled.

Before anyone could talk, the quietness gave away a hidden noise. The sound of someone panting; something they didn't hear due to the noise. "You guys hear that?" Two-Bit asked as him and Steve got up from the floor.

The breathing picked up, getting a little more noticeable. If the guys hadn't stopped talking, they would never have noticed it.

oOoOoOo

Without even noticing it, Jennifer's breathing started getting shorting. She was now fingering herself… something she discovered how to do not too long ago. Jennifer thought she was alone, but she thought wrong, so when she gasped at sudden pleasure; she didn't do anything, only continued. If she knew the guys minus Dallas were in the house, she would've either stopped, or finished silently; but no knowing they were there, she continued on as if no one was there. Small, quiet moans escaped her lips and her breathing was fast and heavy-something the guys definitely heard now.

oOoOoOo

The gang was all staring at each other, many ideas and thoughts racing through their mind as to what could be causing those noises. They had plenty of ideas, but one word was all on their mind: Jennifer.

"Where's Jennifer?" Darry asked as he walked out of the kitchen.

"Jennifer!" Soda yelled. Nothing. "Jennifer?!" Still nothing.

"Check in her room…" Steve warned quietly.

Ever since Soda and Pony started sharing a room, Jennifer had taken over Soda's old room.

Ponyboy got up and walked over to their only sisters room. Everyone watched cautiously as Pony knocked quietly on her door. When he got no response, he knocked a little louder and harsher. "Jennifer?" He called through the door.

Still nothing, so Ponyboy put his hand on the doorknob, but backing away from the door when he realized it was locked. "What's wrong Pone?" Soda asked, strolling out of the kitchen.

"It's locked." He confessed, a little confused. He wasn't the only one.

Darry walked over to the door and tried to open it, but failing when he too felt that it was locked. Instead of banging on the door and screaming for an answer, Darry put his ear against the door and heard the noises; the moaning, the gasps and groans, the panting. "Oh my god…" He said quietly as he backed away from the door.

"What is it Muscles?" Two-Bit asked.

"Does anybody know how to pick a lock? Like… now?" Darry asked. He didn't want to interrupt his younger sister if she was pleasuring herself, but if a boy was in there with her, he was dead.

Steve stepped forward. "Step aside boys and let the professional work his magic."

Everyone moved out from the front door as Steve picked up a bobby-pin; bending it into his desired shape and kneeling down in front of the doorknob. He shoved the pin in there and started to work; slamming the door knob when he got it unlocked. "You get it?" Johnny asked quietly.

Steve was still knelt down in front of the door when he nodded. Darry walked forward and put his hand on the doorknob. He jumped and so did everyone else when the door opened; showing an annoyed and obviously pissed off Jennifer holding the door open. She was the one who opened the door. Everyone looked at her; her hair was pretty messed up, her short button and zipper were undone-hanging down and showing a portion of Jennifer's panties; she cocked an eyebrow and adjusted her shirt so it wasn't revealing all of her stomach. "Does anybody wanna explain as to why my brother and his friend are breaking into my room?"

Everyone turned and looked at Darry whose eyes were wide and his mouth was hanging open. "He's the one who said he needed someone to pick a lock!" Steve said, bolting up from the ground and into the kitchen.

The Curtis sister looked up at her eldest brother, an irritated look on her face. "Darry? Is this true?" She asked.

"What on earth were you doing?" Darry asked; everyone still staring at Jennifer.

"Does it really matter? You were the one who was breaking down my door!" She screamed.

Darry took his sister by the arm and drug her into her room, shutting the door behind themselves. "Jennifer…"

"What?" She replied, crossing her arms and shifting her weight onto her left leg.

Darry leaned against the door and pointed to her unbuttoned and unzipped shorts. "Care to explain?"

The Curtis sister looked down and fixed her shorts. "What do you wanna know so bad that caused you to break my doorknob, huh?"

"What on earth were you doing that made you make all those noises?" He said in a tone so only Jennifer could hear.

"What noises?" Jennifer denied suspiciously.

Yeah she masturbates in a full house, but she'll never admit it. "The panting… the moaning… you know exactly what I'm talking about young lady."

"Okay! Fine! If you wanna know so bad, than I'll tell you! I was masturabting! There!" Jennifer uncrossed her arms. "Should I tell the rest of the house?!" She walked over to her door, heaved Darry off of it, and opened it. "Hey guys! I was masturbating, there!" She turned to Darry. "Are ya happy now?!"

Darry slammed the door shut again. "Jennifer Elaine Curtis, what is wrong with you?!"

oOoOoOo

"Hey guys! I was masturbating, there!" She turned to Darry. "Are ya happy now?!"

Darry slammed the door shut again. "Jennifer Elaine Curtis, what is wrong with you?!"

Everyone stared at Jennifer's bedroom door, confused and shocked. Soda dropped his spoon. "My baby sister was what?" He said out-loud.

"Shh! I wanna hear this!" Steve whisper-yelled, causing everyone to quiet down and listen to the conversation.

"What do you mean what's wrong with me, you wanted to know; so there's no reason to keep it a secret!"

"That's not what I meant! Why the fuck were you masturbating?!"

"Why the hell does it matter?! Everyone does it! When I had to stay here a few months ago almost everyday alone, yeah, I got curious. So what? Don't act like you've never done it! You're no innocent and neither is Soda or Pony!"

"You leave them outta this!"

"Oh, so you're gonna defend them and get me in trouble for something everyone is the house has literally done themselves? INCLUDING yourself!"

"They don't matter right now, all that matters is you! You're fifteen, you shouldn't be doing this kind of stuff!"

"And Ponyboy's fourteen and he's doing it!"

"How do you know?"

"Because I've walked in on him too many times," Ponyboy blushed a deep shade of red as Two-Bit struggled to keep his tears back. "So what difference does it make with me?"

Darry sighed. "Jen, I just don't want you to do this kind of stuff. I mean, I understand you're growing up, and this may sound stupid, but I just can't stand to see you growin up and doin this kind of stuff…"

"Darry, it's okay. I understand too, but you can't tell me what to do forever, you know what right?"

"But as long as you're living under my roof, I can still tell you what to do."

"Then I'll just like out in the yard."

"Jennifer…"

"Sorry," There was a pause. "But really Darry… you can keep me from somethings and prevent me from doing certain things, and there are things you can't keep me from doing. And technically, it's not my fault. Everyone gets these kind of feelings. It's our body's way of telling us we're maturing properly and we're all properly distinguishing hormones."

"Alright, stop getting all sciency on me Jen."

"Sorry, but I'm bein serious. I mean, you or someone was gonna find out sooner or later."

"True," Another pause. "Okay Jen, I understand. You keep doin what you wanna do, but try not to do it when me and your other brothers are here. And definitely not when the gang's here."

"I didn't know you guys were here! And also, I do sometimes do it when y'all are here… I'm just really quiet."

"Jennifer Elaine Curtis! I don't wanna hear about it anymore!"

Suddenly the bedroom door opened and Jennifer walked out. "Love you too Darry!"

Darry leaned in the bedroom doorway and watched along with everyone else as Jennifer went into the bathroom. "So… how much did you guys here?" Darry asked.

"Everything." Johnny admitted.

Darry simply chuckled. "Soda, continue gettin dinner done. Pony, finish up your homework. You guys, nevermind." Darry walked into his bedroom and shut the door.

oOoOoOo

"Time to finish what we started…" She whispered to herself as she turned on the shower, got in and finished her job well done.

Afterwards, while drying, the only thing running through her mind was the fact that Darry didn't want her growing up. The smile stay planted on her face as the thought of her older brother raced through her mind. He really did care about her, but what she was saying was also true. This was something Darry couldn't keep her from doing. But, all he wanted was the best for her, and that was something Darry could keep her from doing; but it was something Darry wanted her to do. So she just went along with it.
