Chapter 10

            I heard a loud bang and woke up suddenly. I couldn't tell if it was from my dream or in reality. Just to be sure, I jumped out of bed, and ran into the kitchen. My mother was hunched over the stove. "Mom?" I called.

            She whirled around. "Oh, hi honey! I was just about done with the stir-fry. Would you like some before going over to Two-Bit's?"

            I grinned. "How did you know I was going to go to Two-Bit's?"

            My mom laughed. "Oh, dear, it isn't rocket science," then laughed again. I blushed and told her I had to change really quickly. I dashed into my room and tore off my day old outfit and put on black jean shorts (almost an exact replica of my other jean shorts), my loose fitting red t-shirt and a white sweatshirt. I made my bed and walked back into the kitchen. Mom had already set out the dishes, and they were filled with steaming veggies and chicken.

            I sat down and grabbed my fork. "Thanks for dinner, mom," I smiled at her. She smiled back. "No problem, honey."

            It took me a while to finish, because I was savoring every bite. When I did finally stop eating, I hastily put on my white sneakers and told my mom I was heading over to the Curtis'.

            My mom winked. "Ok, dear. Have fun. Will you be staying at Two-Bit's house again?"

            I blushed. "I don't know. Maybe."

            She raised her eyebrows and smirked. "Ok. Bye."

            "Bye mom!" I called and slam the screen door shut. I shoved my hands in my sweatshirt pouch and started a brisk walk to the Curtis'. I kept my eyes open for Todd or Parker the entire time, and fortunately they were nowhere to be seen. I could have sworn I saw Rudy, but I was probably mistaken.

            Shivering from the cool night air, I walked up the porch steps and knocked on the three boy's door. Steve opened it up for me and ruffled my hair.

            "Hey there, babycakes. What's up?"

            "Not much, Big Steve," I replied, "Where's the gang?"

            "Two-Bit's at home watching Madison, Johnny and Pony are at the movies, Dally is at Shepard's, Darry is at work and Soda's in the bathroom."

            "Wow. Full house tonight," I said jokingly.

            Steve laughed. "Yup, it'll get even fuller when Soda and I leave for Evie and Sandy in a couple minutes."

            I laughed. "Oh, ok, everyone leave when I get here. Then I'll see you guys later; tell Sodapop I said hi. I'm going over to Two-Bit's."

            "Alrighty. Bye Holly."

            I yanked open the screen door and skipped down the steps. I jogged on the sidewalk for a bit until I stopped to put my hair into a bun. I walked slowly, arms up over my head trying to get my hair perfect. I messed up a couple times, so I had to do it over.

            Suddenly car headlights blinded me temporarily. "Later, Holly!" I heard Soda and Steve scream. I laughed and yelled back to them, screwing up my hair again. I grunted and threw my head back, letting my hair fall backwards. I gently combed it into a high ponytail, and wrapped it into a bun. I smoothed my hair back once before walking on.

            I heard a speeding car behind me, and whirled around. Parker's trashy car came into view and I heard Todd catcall out to me. The blood drained from my face and I started to shake when he got out.

            His hands were shoved into his baggy jean pockets and his black sweatshirt displayed a logo of some new rock band. His light brown hair flickered in the wind as he came up to me. I meekly tried to back away but my legs felt like cement.

            I swallowed and felt my jaw shake. Todd stopped until he was a foot away from me and withdrew one hand from his pocket. He caressed my face with it and I stared at the hand, shaking.

            "Aw, come on Holly," he snickered, "I won't hurt you."

            I looked past him at Rudy, Parker and Jordan. I was seriously outnumbered.  How did they know I was going to be out in the first place? Then I saw Rudy's smirk and I knew he was watching me the whole time.

            I gulped again as Todd came closer and grabbed my arm with his other hand. "Come on, Holly, I'll show you a good time," he laughed, and my stomach churned. I finally found my voice.

            "No!" I cried, trying to break free of his grip, "No Todd! NO!"

He just laughed again and dragged me to the car. Jordan roughly shoved my back, and Todd opened the backseat door. He climbed inside and Jordan pushed me again, and I landed in Todd's lap. He slowly grinned. "See," he whispered in my ear, "You know you want this."

            "No!" I protested again, scrambling towards the door. Todd wrapped his arms around my waist and held me back.

            "You aren't going anywhere, sweet thing," he cooed, pulling me back into his lap. He let out a muffled cry of pain when I landed on his stomach; probably still sore from Dally's beating.

            I stopped struggling and started to cry, knowing what he was going to do. "Why can't you just leave me alone?" I yelled, trying not to give away that I was feeling vulnerable as I sank into his chest. He tightened his grip around me and I prodded him in the stomach, making him mutter a painful curse.

            I felt his fingers touch my hair. "You know why I don't leave you alone. You know I want you, Holly. And guess what," he leaned closer to me and whispered, "I usually get what I want, and I don't care how I do it."

            I swallowed hard and shuddered. "Now, let's just enjoy the ride," he chuckled, and Jordan smirked. Jordan was sitting next to Todd. Rudy was sitting up front with Parker, who was driving.

            I stared out the window, feeling disgustingly helpless. I couldn't really struggle; he would get pissed and hurt me, I couldn't get away without opening the car door and spilling onto the street…I couldn't do anything. I've seen movies where the kidnapped try and push the kidnappers buttons, and the kidnapper gets all pissed and crap, but then at the end he lets her go. I knew that wouldn't happen here; he would get pissed and wouldn't let me go ever.

            Todd ran his hands down my neck and shoulders. His touch felt like fire on my skin, and I instinctively tried to move away.

            Suddenly he shoved me forwards so the side of my face was pressed against the back of Parker's seat. I felt Todd's hot breath on my cheek as he said, "Now listen Holly, don't you try any funny business. If you make one wrong move I'll never let you go, and plus I'll make your friends' lives a living hell."

            "You already do, Todd!" I spat.

            "Oh, yeah? Go figure."

            "You harass me! It pisses them off, genius," I snarled, finding new courage inside of me.

            I saw Todd's face contort into fury as he whipped me around so I was facing him. "Don't you talk back to me," he growled, running a ringer up my stomach, "I'll make you hurt more than you've ever imagined."

            All the courage I'd gathered left as quickly as it came. My face paled as he moved closer to me and thrust his lips onto mine. He kissed me hard and forcefully, and I heard Jordan laugh heartlessly. Todd's hands moved from my face down to my waist, and up again.

            I hastily broke the kiss and started crying again as he kissed my neck. "Ahh!" I shrieked, "Todd! Stop!"

            He pushed me again powerfully until my head was lying on Jordan's lap. Todd was directly on top of me. "I didn't get to do this last time," he laughed, pressing himself against me, "We'll do it again when we get to Parker's house."

            I felt like throwing up. Todd kissed my cheek over and over again, then started to suck on my neck.

            The car came to a sudden stop a few minutes later and Jordan pushed my head roughly off of him. I yelped, and Todd gently rubbed my hair. Jordan yanked me out of the car and tied my wrists together with the rope Parker left on his front lawn. He gave the end to Todd and he pulled the rope, forcing me to follow him. I tried to resist, but Rudy shoved me forward and I almost sprawled on the grass. Tears streamed down my face again as Todd led me to the front door. Parker unlocked it and pointed up the stairs, grinning at Todd and I.

            I started to sob as Todd pulled me upstairs. In the upstairs hallway, there were doors leading to five different rooms. Todd opened the first door on the right and locked it behind him. The rest of the Brumly Boys and Parker stayed downstairs.

            The bed was against the far wall, and there was a single dresser next to the door, and the closet was next to the dresser.

I pulled the rope away from Todd and tried frantically to free my wrists. I did just as he came over to me, and I stepped backwards, tripping and falling onto the bed.

            Todd immediately jumped on the bed and pinned me against the wall. "Get away from me!" I screeched, trying to shove him off the bed. He fought back and attempted to slap me gently, but I kept dodging it. I pawed at his head, and he shoved my arm. We squabbled for a while until he delivered a blow to my cheek that made me fall against the pillows. He lay on top of me, panting.

            I was breathing heavily too, but I glared at him with hatred. "I love Two-Bit," I growled through clenched teeth.

            "Does he want his girl to be used goods?" He snarled back, ripping off my sweatshirt.

            There was a loud knock on the door. Todd swore loudly and said, "We're busy! Get lost!"

            He turned back to me with lust filled eyes and kissed me hard, slowly creeping his hands under my shirt and down my pants. A muffled scream jumped out of my mouth and the knock on the door became louder.

            Todd's lips backed away from mine and he cursed again. He took his hands away from me and stomped towards the door. "What the hell is it?" he bellowed, throwing open the door.

            Suddenly Todd was slumped against the wall. I blinked a few times, disbelieving, until Two-Bit,  Dally,  and Darry came running in.

            Darry dashed over to me. "Holly! Are you ok, babycakes?" He wrapped me up in his arms and I cried into his shoulder.

            "You deserve to die, bastard, and I would personally kill you if Holly didn't want to spare your worthless life," I heard Two-Bit spat.

            I don't really remember much after that. There are vague images of the Brumly Boys unconscious on the floor, and I was in Dally's car for a couple minutes. I remember strong arms carrying me, and then I was placed on a soft bed. I then blacked out.
