Eva, and Gene

Eva's Prospective

I stared out the window, as my brother, and I drove to our new home. Our aunt was in the passenger seat, since she insisted that my brother drive, since he knew the roads, from his time visiting. Our mother died last year, and our dad, who we called Colonel, was stationed in Germany. Since we couldn't go with him this time, he sent us to move in with our aunt Allison.

"Eva, you, and I will go shopping for some school clothes, what do you say?" My aunt asked, turning in her seat, to face me.

"What about Gene?" I looked at my brother, who was shaking his head violently, he hated shopping.

"He already has clothes, your dad said they went shopping, before he shipped out," She had a sweet smile, "I told him to hold off buying you new clothes, because I wanted to take you shopping, since I don't have any girls of my own."

"I guess it will be nice to have some bras, that aren't too small for me," I smiled at my aunt, she was really easy to get along with.

She suddenly turned, and leaned out the window, when we passed a group of teenagers, "Keith Matthews!"

A boy, who I had only seen in pictures, walked up to us, after my brother pulled over, "Hey mom," he grinned at my brother, "Hey Gene."

My brother grinned. They usually spent every summer together, since they were both boys. I had always been a moms girl, so I always stayed home, where I could be near my mother. That wasn't an option anymore, but my aunt came to visit for a week, whenever she drove my brother home at the end of summer.

Sorry, let me describe myself, and my brother. My name is Eva, as you already figured, mother was a Evea Garner fan, and that's where I got my name. I am also sixteen (twins), I have long wavy caramel hair, green eyes, tan freckled skin, and stood about 5'8. I am pretty creative, when it comes to anything artistic, and know more about cars then my brother.

Gene, was named after Gene Kelley, because mom was really into the classics. Which probably weren't really classics to her, at the time she got into them. He was a minute older, had short caramel hair, green eyes, tanned skin, and wear glasses. He was very protective of me, especially after mom died last year, and found out I slept with a teacher. My brother was into horses, pool, and he loved reading.

"Keith, this is Eva," My aunt introduced.

He smirked, which made me a little nervous, "Hows your teacher?"

I smacked my brother on the back of the head, "Gene, you told him!"

After my moms death, I had kept to myself a lot, eating mostly in My science teachers classroom. He had listened to me, and had made sure I was alright, after I told him about an incident. He was twenty-five, and probably, the most smartest person I knew. We ended up sleeping together one day, after I stayed behind to help him clean some beakers. I made the mistake of telling my brother, who told father, and ended up getting my teacher fired.

"We all make mistakes," My aunt smacked my cousins arm, and turned to me, "Why don't you two hang out with Keith, and I will go home to get dinner started."

Gene, jumped out of the car, and walked over to the other three boys. He probably knew them from his time visiting.

My cousin opened my door for me, with the goofy smirk on his face, "Come on Eva, I'll introduce you to my friends. We were on our way to the DX, to pick Pony's brother up, and then we'll hang out at there house."

My aunt had already driven away, so I couldn't really go anywhere, since I never been here. I stood between my brother, and cousin, as my cousin introduced his friends.

"This is Dally," My cousin started to introduce the other two, but was interrupted.

"Hey TwoBit, you never told me she was a looker," He had an elfish face, blue eyes, and hair so blonde it almost looked white. He didn't wear gel, like my brother, and the other boys did. I almost wanted to brush his hair, it looked so soft. He was wearing a black leather jacket, and looked like someone, who you wouldn't want to mess with.

"Hey that's my sister, leave her alone," My brother warned.

"This is Ponyboy," My cousin continued, and turned his attention to another boy. He had brownish-red hair, greenish-gray eyes, and had long hair, which looked to be gelled back. He rested his hand on the smaller boys shoulder, "This is Johnny."

Johnny was shorter then the others, had jet black hair, a tanned face, with black eyes. His hair was brushed to the side with gel, but fell in his face, since it was long. He didn't really look anyone in the face, and kept his head down.

"I thought we were going to the DX?" My brother asked, looking at Pony.

"Wait, why do they call you TwoBit?" I was looking at my cousin, who smiled even wider, if possible.

"Because I can't seem to keep my Two Bit's to myself, probably why I am always in trouble," He answered, as if it should make since.

"Yeah, call him TwoBit, when we're not at home," My brother started leading me, towards our next destination.

I studied my cousin. He was about six foot, had auburn hair, with side burns, and gray eyes. He always seemed to be smiling.

When we reached the DX, I spotted two boys, talking with a group of giggling girls. They left the group of girls, when they spotted our group coming towards them. They each shook my brothers hand, and then turned to me.

"I am Steve, and you are?" Steve was about my brothers height, had a lean body, brown hair, and brown eyes. I noticed Pony roll his eyes, and realized that the two didn't get along. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder, and gave me what he thought was a charming smile.

"I'm Eva Johnson, please take your hand off of me," I stepped to the side, causing me to bump into the best looking guy, that I ever seen.

The good looking guy grinned at me, as he took my hand, "I'm Sodapop, you can call me Soda, see you met my brother?" He looked like he belonged in movies, that's how good looking he was. He had silky dark golden hair combed back, dark brown dancing eyes, and a goofy grin which made him all the more hotter.

I nervously tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, and looked down at the ground, after realizing I had been staring, "Yeah, my cousin introduced us already, and my brother talked about you three a lot when he came home. You have an older brother, Darry, right?"

"Yeah," He reached his hand up, tilted my head, so I was staring at him again, "Gene, you never told me you're sister was this cute."

"We should introduce you to Evie, so you wont be stuck with all the guys," My brother was getting annoyed, not liking other guys checking me out, he is a brother after all.

TwoBit was laughing at my brothers expense, probably getting a kick out of the whole situation, "Gene, wouldn't you rather her hang our with out gang, instead of Shepard's, or worse, the Soc."

"Why do all the girls fall for him?" I heard Steve ask.

I just ignored them, when I noticed the help wanted sign in the window, "You're job is hiring?"

"My dad doesn't hire secretary's," Steve commented/

I stared right at him, "I wouldn't think so, he already has you right?"

The others laughed, while Steve just glared, "I know a lot about cars. I could take a whole car apart, and put it back together."

"So can I," I crossed my arms, and gave him a challenging look.

"I'll love to see this," Soda was grinning, which I was trying to ignore.

"Alright, if you could take a part TwoBit's car, and put it back together then you're hired. I'll tell my dad your interested in a job here," Steve reached his hand out, and shook mine.

"Wait a minute, why does she have to destroy my car?" My cousin asked, after realizing we were talking about his vehicle.

"How about Buck's, old jeep. If she could put it back together, he might probably let her keep it, he did win it in a bet," Dally suggested, obviously thinking this was an easy bet,.

"Alright," Steve, and I said in unison.

The Curtis House- Two Weeks Later

"Still can't believe you put his car back together," Soda was sitting beside me on the couch, as my brother, Johnny, Dally, Pony, Steve, and TwoBit, played football in the street.

"My dad is a mechanic in the army, he puts tanks together," I answered trying to ignore the butterflies in my stomach. "I read one of his books, that showed how to put vehicles back together, kind of worked out Buck, had a jeep. Dad thought it was something we could do bonding, so when he was working at a shop with his friend, he taught me to build cars."

"You're not like other girls," He was now looking at the television, the others were still heard from outside.

"Yeah, I think I hear a stranger calling me," I stood to leave, a little annoyed at his words, since the last time someone said that. It was just because I was like a kid sister to them, when I actually liked that said person.

He grabbed my wrist, as he stood behind me, "I think it's great you're into cars, and-"

"Yeah cars, just like one of the guys," I cut him off, pulling my arm from his grasp, "I am going to go home, and write in my diary," I covered my mouth, in a mocking matter, "I mean my journal, because that's what guys write in, right?"

He reached again, and this time used both hands, "Not like one of the guys," he cupped the side of my face, as he looked down at me, "You're every-"

"We need to go home now," My brother, and cousin, were standing in the doorway, "We're going to the nightly double, need to change into something warm."

I looked down at what I was wearing, a denim skirt, with black leggings, and one of dad's old military training shirts, with boots, "If I get any warmer, I'd be on fire," I stepped away from my brother, and walked over to my jacket, which also was my dads at one time. It had badges, and our last name on it. It use to belong to my grandfather, who was part of the Airborne unit.

"I know, I am," Soda mumbled behind me, helping slip on the jacket, "Want to walk to the movies, we could grab something to eat at the Dingo?"

"I have a jeep, Buck, actually sold it to me when I fixed it." Just because I offered to buy it, instead of him just giving it to me, "I'm starving."

"I'll go with you guys," My brother started walking with us, until my cousin stopped him, "I want to introduce you to Bonnie's cousin, we could double if you take her cousin."

My cousin said his goodbyes, and promised of meeting up at the Nightly Double, before getting into his car with my brother.

I smiled as I let Soda drive my car, as I scooted closer, "You know I ate a big lunch, during our lunch break today. Mr. Randle sure does get a lot of pizza, doesn't he?"

He turned the opposite direction as the Dingo, and drove to the abandoned lot, which I had been to once for some party. He parked the car, and then turned to look at me, "Never met a girl like you before, except probably in my dreams."

"You say that to all the girls," I rested my head on my hand, as I faced him, "I never met a guy, who was so good looking, and nice at the same time," I was playing with the collar, of his denim jacket, "It's rare."

"I want to know you," He scooted in closer to me, and I could feel his breath against my neck, "Everything."

I closed my eyes, when his lips pressed against my neck, "Soda?"

"I want to take things slow," His lips started up my jawline, as his fingers gently held the back of my neck, "But it's really hard for me to be patient, when I have you right here."

"What about the other girls, who swarm around you at work," I held his face in my hands, as I stared into those dancing eyes of his, "They would hate me."

"They're not you, they don't even stand close," He leaned in, and caught my lips, with his.

"Soda, we need to stop," I turned to face the window, not meeting his eyes, I brushed back the tears from my eyes.

He looked concerned, as he wrapped his arms around me, "What's wrong, Eva?"

"I can't tell you, my brother, and dad don't even know how broken I really am." I got out of the car, and sat on a old pulled out car bench near a pit where they make fires to keep warm at the parties.

Soda knelt in front of me, and wrapped his arms around my waist, "Why do you think you're broken? I won't tell anyone else, I promise."

"I was raped on the same day, as my mothers funeral. Some lieutenant, who my dad knew from the military raped me, and –" I tried to hold back the tears, so I could tell him my secret, knowing I could trust him, "-he was suppose to be my dads friend. He offered to go get some ice, since a lot of people were at the house after the service, and my dad offered my assistance since I knew where to go. He raped me in the front of his car, and then got the ice, and acted like nothing happened. He then went on to talk about how many ways, he knew to kill another person, without getting caught. So I was to scared to tell anyone," I couldn't stop, as my body shook with tears, "I told my science teacher, and he allowed me to eat in his classroom, he let me make the decisions of his actions. Then Colonel

got my teacher fired, while Colonel, is still working with the Lieutenant." The other guys already knew I was talking about my dad, when I said colonel.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Soda sat beside me, and wrapped his arms around me, "The police could have done something."

"I just wanted to forget everything, and planned to not trust any other guy, until my teacher. Then when I went to his house to apologize for him being fired, his pregnant wife opened the door. I told myself I wouldn't trust another guys again, and then I meet you," I stared straight into Soda's eyes, and smiled when he smiled, as he cupped my cheek, "You make me forget for a little bit, and believe everything you say."

"I never lie to anyone, I am not about to start with you," He stood to his feet, and pulled me up by my hands, "Let's go, or the others will think we eloped, or something."

I smiled as he kept a hold of my hands, even when he started driving, "You really are great."

"As long as you think so," He parked in front of a drug store, and looked at me, "We'll walk the rest of the way, yeah?" He leaned against the front of the car, as he waited for me to join him, then pulled me against him when I finally did, "I want to take things slow, and I know you only been in town a short time, but I want you to be my girl."

I wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling his head down to kiss him, "I want that too."

"So she goes for the movie star looks," Dally said, from beside us, with Johnny, Steve, and Pony, right beside him. "Getting protection?" He glanced at the drugstore, and winked at Soda.

I tensed, as I stepped out of our embrace, and stood next to Steve, "We were just parking the car, thought it would be better walking the rest of the way." We have become fast friends, since I proved him wrong, about girls not being able to work on cars. His girlfriend was real nice too, she stops by during her lunch breaks, and brings Steve drinks.

Soda playfully shoved Dally, as he stood beside me, wrapping an arm around my waist, "Let's go to the movies."

"That was a sweet Mustang, I loved the paint job," Steve started, as we started walking, "What do you think?"

"Think they had too many flames painted," I smiled as Steve made a face, like I was crazy.

Soda laughed, already use to the two of us, not agreeing about the cars, "You think Gene, will like Bonnie's cousin?"

"If it's not the talkative one," I answered, already met Bonnie's two cousins, my first week in town.

"Yeah, that Ginger, sure can talk. Reminds me of a female TwoBit," Pony added, causing the others to laugh.

"Shelia, and I are back together," Dally announced, as he lit a smoke.

I dragged Soda into the snack bar, while the others went to get seats, or catch up with some friends before the movie, "Looks like dinner is cola, popcorn, and licorice."

Soda wrapped his arms around my waist, and kissed me in front of the other costumers, "You have any idea how hot you are?"

I looked down at what I was wearing, and rolled my eyes, "Yeah, just call me G.I. Jane," I mockingly saluted, before taking my items.

He grabbed the popcorn from my hands, and tossed the box of chocolate raisins, on top of the popcorn, and grabbing a soda, "Don't mind sharing do you?"

"I don't even share with my own twin, but I like you better," I teased, handing the cashier my money, before Soda had the chance. I noticed his confused look, and then smiled, "You could use the money on flowers, or something for me later, my hands were free."

"Fine then," He smiled at me, as he lead the way to the benches, where the others were seated, "Didn't think you were into girly stuff, it's nice to know for the future."

"I guess I got it from my mom, she loved gardening, and painting," I sat beside my brother, who was sitting next to Angela, Tim's younger sister.

"Where is Bonnie's cousin?" I whispered, while Angela chatted with Bonnie, while my cousin talked to Johnny, and Pony.

"Two Bit, was just trying to keep me from beating up Soda, but I explained that I was lucky that it wasn't Dally, or Steve," My brother grinned, as I rolled my eyes, "I agree, but if he hurts you, you-"

I quickly kissed his cheek, before turning back to Soda, "I hope it's not a beach movie."

It was a beach movie...

A Month Later

Dear Eva,

How are you doing? Is Tulsa agreeing with you, you're father told me you moved in with your aunt, and uncle. I hope they know what a special girl you truly are, like I was honored to learn on one of the worse days of your families life. I saw this glass figurine of a ballerina, and I asked your dad for the address to write you, so I may send it to my favorite girl. I can't get the time we made love, out of my head, you were so soft. I see your picture, whenever I see your father at his office, and he said you are taking shop at your school.

I am coming home next month, and actually have some family in Tulsa, you're dad offered for me to stay with your aunt. We could be together again, and continue our relationship. After I found out you're teacher took advantaged of you, I wanted to wring his neck. No one causes harm to 'My Girl'. I will see you in a couple months, need to visit my own parents for a little while first, so just be patient.

Yours Truly,

Lieutenant Author Wiat

P.S. I understand you are young, and are probably dating, which I don't mind since you should do so. I just hope you call you're relationship off, by the time I return home, and eventually to you.

My hands were shaking as I held the letter in my hands, sitting on my bed with the figurine beside me. I didn't even noticed, when my aunt came into my room, and jumped when she reached for the figurine.

"Eva, are you alright?" My aunt was looking down at my gift, then at my letter in my hand, "Your dad wrote you?" She set the ballerina on my dresser, and smiled, "That's beautiful, your dad-"

I had come to trust my aunt, from her times of visiting, and living here with them. I handed her the letter, as I buried my head in my pillow, "It's not from my dad."

"You're dating a friend of your dads? He seems awfully worried about, and what that teacher did to you," My aunt was patting my back, "Are you afraid about ending things with him? Or Soda?"

"He's not my boyfriend, he raped me the same day, as my own mothers funeral," I screamed, as she reread the letter, "How can he think it was a relationship, haven't even heard from him, and thought I was safe. He-"

"Does anyone else know?" My aunt was now laying beside me, as she pulled me into her arms.

"Only Soda," I calmed down a little, as she stroked my hair, "I was afraid my brother, or dad would get hurt. I also told my science teacher. My teacher didn't rape me, it was a mutual agreement. I didn't know he was married at the time though."

"We'll take care of this, I am going to tell your dad, next time he calls. Try to be home alright, you know he calls every, Sunday." My aunt kissed the top of my head, before getting back to her feet, "Your uncle is taking me out for valentines, want to help me get ready?"

I nodded, as I walked over to my closet, and pulled out a wrapped gift, "I was going to give you this on your birthday this weekend, but you could wear it tonight." I handed her the box, and smiled when she squealed. "I know blue is your favorite color."

She quickly threw the dress on, and took the matching flat sandals from the box to, before looking back at me, "It's great having another girl in the house."

"Eva! Soda's here," My uncle announced, causing my aunt to laugh.

"I'm back here Soda," I walked back to my bed, and laid down after my aunt left my room.

"Wow, I can't wait to show you off tonight," My boyfriend teased, as he closed my door, and sat beside me on my bed.

"I don't want to go anywhere," I was wearing a large ARMY shirt, and a pair of sweat pants, since I had been in my room since this morning, when I got the letter.

Soda placed his hand on my forehead, and was now concerned, "You're not warm, are you mad at me?"

"I got a letter from the Lieutenant," I handed him the letter, keeping my eyes closed, since I didn't want to see his face. Didn't want him to think I betrayed him, even though he knew the truth, but knowing that sometimes words weren't proof enough.

"If he comes here, we'll kick his ass, that son of a bitch!" He slammed his palms on top of my dresser, causing the figure to fall over, "Is this it?"

I looked at him, and nodded, "I didn't want it."

He tossed it out of the window, and then crawled onto my bed, pulling me into his arms, "I'm not giving you up."

"I thought you would be mad," I whispered, afraid of looking him in the eyes, "My aunt is going to tell my dad, this coming up Sunday. She wants me to be home, when he calls."

"Let's forget about that today, it's Valentine's Day," He leaned in, and captured my lips with his, resting his hand on my hip, "Just you, and me, we won't worry about anyone else."

I smiled as I ran my fingers through his hair, as he slid down my pants, "Just you, and me." We had ended up sleeping together, a week after he asked me to be his girl, and he was mine, as he told the girls at the DX, which didn't stop them from returning, "You surprise me every day."

A hour later...

"Eva?" Soda had his arms wrapped around me, as I rested my head on his chest.

"Yeah?" I placed a gentle kiss to his chest, as his fingers rubbed my back gently, "What did you need?"

"Happy Valentine's Day," He pressed a kiss to my forehead, before sitting on the edge of my bed, and reaching for his clothes.

I reached for my t-shirt, and sweat pants, before walking to my closet, "I had a whole outfit picked out for today, even have chocolate cupcakes, with our initials on top." I slipped on my blue sweater, and black skirt, with my black heels. I blushed when I noticed my boyfriend laying back on the bed grinning, resting his head on his arms, as he stared straight into my eyes, "What are you grinning about."

"You made me cupcakes, my favorite," He answered, reaching his hands out towards me, "You really do look like a movie star."

I rolled my eyes, as I stood in front of my mirror, and started putting my hair up in a french twist, "That's what all the girls say about you, you know?"

He came up behind me, and held onto my hips, "Then I guess we're perfect for each other." He kissed my cheek, before taking my hand, and leading me out of my room, "We need to get out of here, before I decide to throw you back on the bed, and ruin the surprise I had planned already.

I smiled as I entered the kitchen, let me get your cupcakes," I had put them in a tin, and decorated the it with a picture of his favorite car, "I thought you could use the tin, to hold stuff."

He took the tin, and grinned at the picture, as he wrapped his free arm around my waist, "I love it, you're gifts are at my house. First let's go on the picnic your aunt helped plan, the foods already in the back of the jeep." He walked me to the passenger side of my car, before climbing into the drivers side, and drove off. "We're going to the pond, I know a place where we could have privacy, use to go when I was younger."

"Sounds romantic," I smiled, as I rested my head on his shoulder, as he started to drive to our destination.

I had a great, Valentine's Day.
