Danny's POV
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I wasn't particularly happy today. Dally was making me go to the Shepard's house with him. I hate going to the Shepard's. I didn't mind Tim Shepard or Curly but it was always as boring as hell. Dally and Tim always went to some bars and I stayed at the Shepherds house with Curly and every so often the bitch herself, Angela Shepard. I hated Angela, luckily she was never at her house when I was there.

We borrowed Two-Bits car to drive there. Dally drived while I just sat there fiddling with the radio. I always did that if I was annoyed with something, like I was when I had to go to the Shepherds.

" Okay, Danny , you can stay here with Curly while Tim and I go clubbing." Dally told me. I just rolled my eyes at him. He just grinned and drove off with Tim.

After they left I just sat on the lawn watching clouds go by completely zoned out.

" Hey Danny baby, were have you been hiding." Curly grinned.

" Obviously I haven't been hiding well, 'cause your here." I grinned back.

"I'm going to guess that your as bored as hell here."

" You guessed right."

" If your bored how about you come to my room with me."

" I've got nothing better to do so sure."

" Good." Curly grinned and pulled me by the arm to his room.

Curly's room was quite small and messy. All it had in it was a bed, drawers, junk everywhere and two of his buddies. Curly let go of my arm and sat down on his bed.

" So Danny how old are you?" Curly asked.

" Thirteen." I replied.

" So were pretty much the same age."

" Sure, two year age difference. What's your point?"

" Come over here and I'll show you."

I walked over to were Curly was sitting and sat beside him. He placed his arm around my shoulder and pulled the elastic out of my hair.

" You should wear your hair down more often. You look pretty with it down." Curly grinned.

" Thanks..." I mumbled.

" Even with your hair up your still pretty damn hot." Curly grinned and leaned in closer and I pushed him away.

" Too bad you don't have a boyfriend Danny."

" Johnny. In other words my boyfriend. I have a boyfriend."

" Like I said, to bad you don't have a boyfriend, no boyfriend to get mad at me for doing this." Curly leaned in and kissed me.

" What the hell is your problem Curly! I have a boyfriend and I don't think Dally would want you messing with me!"

Curly just ignored me and pulled my shirt off and pushed me down on his bed and began kissing me again.

" Get the hell away from me Curly!" I yelled and punched him in the shoulder. Curly just ignored me and tried to pull of my pants but I kicked him in the stomach and pushed him into the wall.

" What the hell is wrong with you Curly! You...you...damn perverted freak!" I yelled at Curly. Curly just grinned and one of his buddies pushed me into him. Curly wrapped his arms around me so I couldn't move. I tried to move but he just tightened his grip. When I tried to kick him one of his buddies held on to my legs so they couldn't move. I gave up trying to get away. I just broke down and cried.

" Crying ain't going to help you Danny." Curly said. He loosened his grip on me and pushed me to his bed and tried to force me to have sex with him.

about an hour later...

" Were are you going Danny?" Curly yelled.

" Out of here!" I yelled back.

" What am I going to tell Dally? He won't be happy that you are on the streets this late in the night."

" Just tell him what you did. I'm sure he will understand why I left!" and with that I left. There was only one place to go. Pony's. It took me about 2 hours to walk there but at least I was away from Curly. I went up to Pony's house and knocked on his door. Darry answered the door.

" Danny? It's 2:00 am. I thought you and Dally were at the Shepherds? Where's Dally?"

" Some were with Tim."

" How did you get here then?"

" Walked."

" Jesus crist! Are you insane or something!"

" Look I didn't come here for a lecture, I need to see Pony."

" Why do you need to see Pony?"

" Look something happened while I was at the Shepherds and I really need to see Pony." Just thinking about what happened made me start to cry.

" Danny, what happened? Are you okay?"

" I just want to see Pony."

" Sure Danny, sit down and I'll get him."

I sat down on the couch and waited for Pony.

" Hey Danny, whats up?" Pony yawned and sat beside me.

" You know how we went to the Shepherds right?"

" Ya."

" Well Dally and Tim left so it was just me and Curly at his house."

" Ya...but what happened." Pony asked. I just sat in silence and thought of what happened and began crying again.

" You okay Danny? Curly didn't beat you up or anything did he?" Pony asked. My silence answered his question.

" He didn't did he? Did he beat you up?"

" No he didn't beat me up."

" What did he do then?" Pony asked curiously. I looked at Pony with tears still running down my face.

" Wow, I have never seen you this upset Danny. In all the years I have known you I don't think I have seen a single tear fall on to your pretty face." Pony flashed a smile in my direction. Like his brother Soda, his smile is contagious. I grinned back at Pony and he came and gave me a hug.

" Look at the little love birds! Pony l-o-v-e-s Danny!" Soda laughed. I was laughing myself a bit. Pony was blushing a lot. Soda can and sat with Pony and myself.

" Hey Danny, Pony. Pony does Darry know you have a girl with you this late at night." Soda grinned.

" I don't have a girl with me, Danny is the only one here." Pony laughed. I playfully punched Pony in the arm.

" So what happened?" Pony asked curiously. I explained everything to Pony and Soda.

"Rape."Pony said. I just looked at him blankly.

" There is a word for what he did, rape."

" Oh. Well I hate rape!"

" Most people do." Soda sympathetically said.

" Soda, Pony, Danny, you guys should get to bed. Danny you can stay over here tonight. We'll call Dally in the morning to tell him were you are." Darry came into the room and said.

" I'm going to stay with Danny, okay Darry?" Pony asked.

" Fine just don't stay up all night talking."

" Okay we won't." Pony lied. We stayed up almost all night talking.

" Hey Pony, don't tell anyone about what happened okay? Mainly don't tell Johnny." I told Pony.

" Why not?" Pony asked.

" I don't want everyone to know, I only really trust you with this little issue. Promise you won't tell anyone Pony?" Danny said through some tears.

" I promise." Pony said and comforted Danny as she cried on his shoulder.

Curly's POV

I was playing cards with my buddies John and Nick when Tim was yelling something about Dally and himself going clubbing and Danny staying here. I wasn't listening but John was.

" Who's Danny? Why is he coming over?" John asked.

" Danny? You know Dally, Dallas Winston, Danny is his sister. When ever Dally and Tim go off to the bars or whatever he leaves Danny here till he comes back."

" Danny's a girls name?" Nick laughed.

" No, it's short for something. Not sure what it's short for though."

" Is she hot?" John grinned.

" I dunno, I guess. Never really take the time to notice girls I don't have a chance with, no point."

" No chance with huh? So she comes over here you two alone and you have never done anything or notice if she is hot?" Nick laughed.

" Bet you I could get her to have some fun with me if you catch my drift." Nick laughed. Nick was drunk and didn't know what he was saying. But if I knew Nick he might actually try something to go through with that.

" Bet you Curly could before you could." John grinned. I didn't want to tell them that I couldn't do that to Danny, but I also didn't want to seem like a wimp to the guys.

" Ya I probably could." I grinned. It was just talk, not like they were going to get me to prove I could.

" You think so? Well lets see you try when she comes over." Nick grinned. I didn't know what to tell them. I couldn't do that to Danny but I would rather not look like a wimp to them.

" Well I dunno..." I mumbled.

" You scared you can't?" Nick laughed. I wasn't taking that shit from Nick, no matter what.

" No, I can get her to do it. It will be easy. No girl can resist Curly Shepard." I grinned like it was no big deal, even though it was to me.

" I think she is outside, I heard Tim leave. We'll just go up stairs and wait for you guys." John grinned and went upstairs with John. I walked outside hating myself for what I was going to do.

" Hey Danny baby, were have you been hiding." I grinned.

" Obviously I haven't been hiding well, 'cause your here." She grinned back.

"I'm going to guess that your as bored as hell here."

" You guessed right."

" If your bored how about you come to my room with me."

" I've got nothing better to do so sure."

" Good." I nervously grinned and pulled her by the arm to my room.

" So Danny how old are you?" I asked.

" Thirteen." Danny replied.

" So were pretty much the same age."

" Sure, two year age difference. What's your point?"

" Come over here and I'll show you."

Danny walked over to were I was sitting and sat beside him. I placed my arm around her shoulder and pulled the elastic out of her hair.

" You should wear your hair down more often. You look pretty with it down." I grinned. That is a cheesy line I just used, ashamed that I used it.

" Thanks..." She mumbled.

" Even with your hair up your still pretty damn hot." I grinned and leaned in closer and she pushed me away.

" Too bad you don't have a boyfriend Danny."

" Johnny. In other words my boyfriend. I have a boyfriend."

" Like I said, to bad you don't have a boyfriend, no boyfriend to get mad at me for doing this." I leaned in and kissed her. It felt odd to be kissing Danny, but good.

" What the hell is your problem Curly! I have a boyfriend and I don't think Dally would want you messing with me!"

I just ignored her and pulled her shirt off and pushed her down on my bed and began kissing her again. I no longer felt bad about this. I was sure she was kissing me back, she was just acting tough to prove she was.

" Get the hell away from me Curly!" she yelled and punched me in the shoulder. I just ignored her and tried to pull of her pants but she I kicked me in the stomach and pushed me into the wall. God she can kick hard.

" What the hell is wrong with you Curly! You...you...damn perverted freak!" She yelled at me. I just grinned and Nick pushed her into me. I wrapped my arms around her so she couldn't move. For some reason she broke down and cried. I know I should have felt bad about making her cry but something about having her head resting against my chests kept the thought of her liking this in my head.

" Crying ain't going to help you Danny." I said. I unwrapped my arms from her and she fell on to my bed. I went over to her and started the sex. She wanted to do this I kept telling myself to the point that I almost believed it. It's Danny, If she didn't want to she wouldn't have let me. Who am I trying to kid? Danny hates me for this, she knows there is no point in fighting back, she's out numbered. I looked over and noticed my 'friends' cheering me on as Danny had tears streaming down her face. I caused those tears I thought to myself. I caused the hatred in her for me. I could have ignored John and Nick and not have done this to Danny. I can't pass the blame of this on them. I caused the pain, hatred, tears and fear. I could see the fear in her eyes. I could never imagine Danny being afraid of me, I couldn't.

" Curly Shepard, you have done some horrible things in the past, but I didn't think you could sink this low. I hate you Curly, and I always will now." Danny whispered under her tears. I stopped when she said 'I hate you'. I stopped long enough for her to punch me in the face and kick me off of her. She grabbed her clothes and put them on. Nick walked over to her and she said something in a hushed voice that made Nick leave her alone fast. She made a quick glare at me as she headed for the door.

" Were are you going Danny?" I yelled.

" Out of here!" she angrily yelled back.

" What am I going to tell Dally? He won't be happy that you are on the streets this late in the night."

" Just tell him what you did! He will understand why I left!" She yelled and ran outside down the street into the darkness of the night.

" I'm sorry Danny." I whispered to myself. John and Nick came over and were going on and on of how awesome that was. I couldn't listen, I couldn't believe what I had just done.
