(At Two-Bit's House)

Two-Bit carefully pulls into the driveway of his house. He could see that the only light on was the downstairs bedroom, meaning his kid sister, Reese, was home. He turned his beat up car off and looked over at Bexley. He saw that she was curled in a ball with her entire body trembling. He wondered what's got her filled with fear?

She'd been jumped before with Ponyboy and she, although shaken up, was fine afterward. He would have to find out soon.

"We're here, Little Sister. We gotta get you cleaned up and into different clothing. I'll see if my sister will lent you some of her clothes. She's your size," Two-Bit said, keeping his voice toned down to not frighten her any more.

Bexley glanced up at him and softly nodded. "Okay..." he said, opening the door and stepping out of the car. He shuts the door before walking around the car to the passenger side.

He opens the door and reaches in to get her. "Let's go, Little Sister," he softly said, picking her up, "It's gonna be alright," Bexley relaxed a little bit, being in Two-Bit's arms.

He closed the passenger door shut with his back. He walked up to the front door, using his foot to knock on the door to get Reese's attention. It took the 15-year-old sister a couple of minutes to answer the door.

"Keith? What's going on? What happened to Bexley?" she asked, seeing the bad shape Bexley was in. "Socs got a hold of her. Mind lending her some clothes? I gotta call Darry and tell him where she is," Two-Bit answered, walking inside of the house, letting Reese shut the door.


They head upstairs with Bexley, taking her to the bathroom. Two-Bit set Bexley on the toilet after turning on the bathroom light. Reese went to her room to get Bexley a thing of clothes while Two-Bit gathered a washcloth to wipe off the remaining blood off of her.

"We need to see if you got any cuts on your abdomen," Two-Bit said, trying to lift her shirt up to check for any lacerations. Even though she knew that it was only Two-Bit and how he'd never do anything to hurt her, she cried out in fear and pushed him back hard away from her. "No, stop!" she cried out.

Two-Bit pulled his hands back as if she was fire. "Easy, Bex. It's just me... We gotta check for any cuts on your abdomen," he said. "No! No, please..." she sobbed, backing as far as she could without falling on the floor. Two-Bit's heart broke in two when he heard the of her voice.

Reese then came back, hearing Bexley's distressed voice. "Keith, why don't I handle this? You go call her brother," she asked, setting the clothes on the bathroom counter.

"Okay. I'll be right back," he said, getting off of his knees. He leaves the room to leave the girls alone.


(Bexley and Reese)

Reese shuts the door behind her so Two-Bit knows to stay out. "Bex? It's just us in here, okay? Keith went to call your brother. Darry, I think," Reese said, kneeling down in front of her.

Bexley looked at Two-Bit's kid sister, seeing the concern in her grey eyes. "O-Okay..." she replied, sniffling loudly. "Is it okay if I take a look to see the damage? Keith should've asked you before doing so," Reese asked cautiously.

She nodded. Reese was right though. Two-Bit should've asked Bexley if he could check her over before just doing it. Carefully, Reese helped Bexley get her denim jacket and shirt off.

Reese almost felt sick when she saw just how bruised up her friend really was. "Jesus, Bex... what happened to you?" she gasped, tears filling her eyes. Bexley couldn't hold back her tears anymore. She started sobbing again as she fell into Reese's arms.

"...R-Reese... she sobbed into Reese's shoulder, "I... I was..." Reese hugged her friend, pulling her close. "What's wrong?" she said softly. "I was... I was raped..." she sobbed, mad at herself for telling the truth, which is something she promised herself she'd never do.
