"Wait, what do you mean 'touched you'?" Dally practically yelled. He regretted that immediately when he saw the fear on Johnny's face.
"Hey, kid, I didn't mean it like that. I just…Johnny you gotta tell me what happened."
"I - I was in my room and h-he came in and started yellin' and he hit me a couple of times and then he-he pushed me onto my and…I thought he'd just leave but he didn't!" Johnny was practically screaming now and Dallas found it unsettling, but made no move to stop him.
After a few moments of tension filled silence, Johnny continued, "He got onto my bed and I thought he was going to hit me again, but he climbed on top of me and h-he…" At this point Johnny was crying so hard, it took him a minute to continue.
When he did, he said "he touched me. You know what I mean, man!"
Dally hugged Johnny tight as he sobbed. After a few minutes, Johnny lifted his head from its position against Dally's chest when he heard Dally sigh heavily.
"Johnny, you don't have to go back there."
"No, Dal. The Curtis' have enough to deal with. They don't need this. It isn't their problem. Oh God, Dal, you can't tell them! You have to promise! Don't tell them please, Dal!"
Dally was a little surprised at Johnny's frantic pleads. "Okay, Johnny, I won't tell them."
Johnny quietly mumbled a 'thanks'.
"No problem, kid. But you can't go back there Johnny."
"It's not real cold out tonight, I'll stay in the lot."
"Johnny it's like 40 freakin' degrees out here, man! Are you crazy?"
"I can't keep stayin' at the Curtis house. I'm in the way there."
"Come stay with me at Bucks."
Johnny was surprised that Dallas had really made him that offer.
"Really, Dal?"
"Yeah, kid, I'm not letting you go back to that sick bastard."
Short and I am not pleased with this chapter. But if people want this continued, I will update soon with a longer and better chapter. Trust me, that's not the whole story about what happened between Johnny and his father and more details will be added if I continue this.
