Some say this can't be real
And I've lost my power to feel tonight
We're all just victims of a crime
When alls gone and can't be regained
We can't seem to shelter the pain inside
We're all just victims of a crime

Today was the big day. AJ would be forced to hang out with Corey's friends just to make him happy. She questioned so much if it was all worth it. AJ loved Corey and wanted to be accepted by his friends. Even though she had nothing to prove to anybody.

Kaitlyn was spending the night at her friends house, so it was a perfect time for AJ to sneak out of her window and meet Corey across the street.

She checked her phone and it read 10:30pm. AJ locked the door to her room like she did every night. Being as quiet as she could, AJ climbed out the window and met Corey where he said he'd be waiting.

AJ became more nervous when they were finally getting close to Marshall's house. Corey pulled into the driveway and instead of knocking this time, they just walked in.

Marshall was on the couch smoking pot as usual. Marilyn came out of one of the bedrooms with a cherry blonde lady ,wearing blood red lipstick and black eyeshadow. She looked like she was probably in her 30s. The woman grabbed her purse off of the table and bumped past AJ as she left the house.

Marilyn started fixing the silver buckle to his belt, "Look who decided to show up." He walked over to AJ and Corey, towering over her. AJ squeezed Corey's hand as if he was her protection. "Don't be scared. Marshall won't hurt you. I might though." he smirked, making AJ back away. "I'm just joking. Lighten up."

"Will you shut up! I'm trying to watch football over here!" Marshall yelled at his guests. "AJ, you gonna do this or what? Don't waste my time again."

She breathed deeply and sat beside Marshall while Corey leaned against the wall and watched. Marshall once again made the coke into a thin white strip. AJ shut her eyes and prayed that this wouldn't kill her. When she opened her eyes the coke was gone and her nostril was sore. It felt like a bunch of tiny razors had cut the walls of her nose.

"I did it..." she whispered to herself.

Marilyn crossed his arms, "Shit, she actually did it." he said in surprise.

Corey applauded her, "Honestly, I thought you were gonna chicken out again, babe."

AJ smiled, "Never count me out." all of a sudden she felt a burst of energy flowing through her petit body. Her eyes began to dilate and there was an uncomfortable churning in the pit of her stomach. She stood up off of the couch and started walking towards Corey, stumbling and falling against his muscular chest.

He put his hands on her cold shoulders and ran them along side her arms until he was holding her shaky hands, "Are you okay?"

AJ's hands started to tremble viscously, "I-I don't feel so good." she stuttered.

Corey moved her hair out of her face, "Maybe this will teach you not to cheat on me." he whispered hatefully in her ear. He backed away letting her collapse on the floor. All AJ could hear was Mariyn and Marshall cackling.

AJ felt caught in an endless loop of paranoia and it was difficult for her to concentrate. "Wh-what?" she finally managed to ask.

Corey laid on the floor beside her, "What you snorted wasn't just coke. It was laced with levamisole which is really deadly to humans."

She tried finding it in herself to slap him but she could hardly move her body. Soon her vision began to blur.

-Meanwhile at the Boardwalk-

Matt and Becky were walking hand in hand along the boardwalk. It was a beautiful night, the stars were bright, and it was a perfect time to take things up a notch.

"You okay?" Becky asked Matt who seemed really anxious about something.

"I'm fantastic. Who wouldn't be in a good mood while hanging out with the greatest girl on the planet." he smiled.

Becky blushed, "Aww, you're too nice."

Matt chuckled, "That's a first." they reached the end of the peer where the moon came at rest above the ocean, releasing a lovely glow along top the sea.

"It's so nice out here." she rested her head on his shoulder, "I don't know what else could make this night more perfect." she said, rubbing her small baby bump.

Matt smiled,"I wouldn't speak too soon if I were you." Becky tilted her head in confusion.

He got down on one knee and Becky felt the tears rushing to the surface.

AJ slowly lifted her eyes open, seeing that she was in somebody's bed. She somehow found the strength to barley lift her head up to look around. The room was dark and cold with nobody in sight.

Her body felt cold as ice. AJ looked down and saw that she was lying in her bra and panties. And for some reason her thighs were sticking together because of some white oozy substance on them.

"Shhh." she felt a freezing hand gently fall onto her sweat dropped forehead. "Trying to move will be pointless. Most of your body went into shock. You don't want to risk hurting yourself now, do you?"

After AJ's vision cleared she realized that she had just came face to face with Marilyn. "Where's Corey?" she faintly whispered.

"He left you here with me." he informed, while lighting himself a blunt. Marilyn gazed her over and ran his long finger over her soft skin. "You're really beautiful."

AJ jerked away weakly, "Get away from me!" she cried, "I swear if you do anything to me you're dead."

Marilyn put his hand in between her thighs. "If only you knew what Marshall and I did to you while you were out cold." He laughed dryly then burned her with the end of the blunt.

AJ screamed as he pressed it onto her forearm. She tried her best not to let her tears fall, "Let me go." she demanded.

"Why would I do that? We haven't even began to have fun yet." He got out a long shiny needle and attached it to a syringe. He started to heat up his heroin on a kitchen spoon then began to insert it into the tube. "Don't scream." he warned, before mounting AJ.

She gained the strength to fight back and push him off of her. Marilyn rolled on the floor. AJ grabbed her shorts from the floor then bolted for the door to escape, but he grabbed her ankle making her trip. He pinned her small wrists to the wooden floor. AJ spit in his face, "Fuck you!" She lifted her leg and racked him.

AJ found herself in the living room not knowing which way the front door was. She felt the back pocket to her shorts and thanked god that her phone was still there. AJ punched the first contact on the menu and heard the other line start ringing.

"Oh no you don't!" Marilyn came from behind and threw her on the floor. The phone slid across the room under the table. They both charged for it and AJ succeeded on getting her hands on it first.

Out of nowhere she felt Marilyn yank her hair, making her scream. His fist rammed into her face. She fell on her hands and knees. Marilyn then swung his foot into her gut. AJ coughed violently and tried catching her breath after the wind was knocked out of her. His hands grabbed ahold of her long hair, using that as a way to fling her small body to the wall and make a hole in it.

AJ managed to reach for the lamp that had fallen on the floor. She then smashed it over his head, forcing him to crash down beside her. His head was busted open but that didn't change the fact that he overpowered the struggling girl.

Marilyn rolled to the side, grabbing AJ by the waist and pinning her close to his body and growing erection. AJ was completely disgusted at the fact that this freak was getting turned on by this. She saw him pick up the syringe and bit his pale hand. But that didn't stop him from injecting the lethal drug into her arm once he had her in his grip.

-Boardwalk-

Matt reached into his pocket and pulled out a black velvet box. "Becky, when I first moved here there was nothing more I wanted than to go back home. Then when I met you my whole perspective changed. This was like a blessing in disguise. Who would have known that the perfect girl for me would be living on the opposite side of the country."

Becky couldn't help but to cover her face and start crying. Words couldn't describe how happy she was. "I love you." she mouthed.

He opened the box and revealed the biggest diamond Becky has ever seen. "Becky Lynch, will you m-"

RING! RING! RING! RING!

Matt cursed to himself. "As I was saying. Becky will you-"

RING! RING! RING!

"Son of a bitch!" he yelled out loud as he stood up to check his phone. He read the caller ID and it was AJ.

"You can send it to voicemail." Becky suggested, wanting to hear the rest of Matt's proposal.

He shook his head, "I can't. Hold on." he turned his back to Becky as he answered the phone. Matt was lucky that he couldn't see the scowl Becky had plastered on her face, "Hello? AJ? What's going on?! AJ!" he yelled into the phone then panicked when the other line suddenly hung up after he heard screaming. "Becky, I'm sorry. I have to go right now!" he rushed off the peer.

"Matt, wait!" she ran after him then stopped when he was already too far to catch up with.

Matt sped down the road and cautiously checked his phone while keeping his eyes on the road. He pulled over on a highway above a river, where the tracking devise on AJ's phone had led him to. "Please." he cried, "She can't be down there. She just can't be!"

The phone in his pocket started ringing loudly which almost gave him a heart attack, "Hello?" He answered, obviously sounding worried.

"This is the Union City Hospital. We have your sister, AJ Lee here with us."

Matt cut the receptionist off, "Is she okay?"

"We found her lying unconscious outside the front doors of the hospital. The tests we ran said it was a drug overdose."

"A drug overdose?"

"She also showed signs of being assaulted and the light bruises on her inner thighs show she was possibly raped." the receptionist informed.

Matt let out a deep growl, "Corey..."

"She claims to not remember anything at the moment. Not even what her attackers look like and we couldn't get anything from the rape kit." she added. "Do you have any parents or guardians that we can call to fill some forms out for us?"

Matt ran his hand over his head in aggravation, "My aunt and uncle are on a business trip in Chicago. No telling when they'd get back though."

"Okay, well since Ms.AJ asked us to call you as her emergency contact then we need you down here right away."

"Okay I'll be there." he hung up the phone and slammed the door to his truck. He scrolled through his contacts and instead of notifying his brothers on the situation he called somebody else. "Dean! Meet me at Union City Hospital ASAP!"
