When Dean arrived at the hospital, the nurse lead him to AJ's room where he found Matt sitting at her bedside. "Is she okay?" he asked quietly.

"Yeah, she'll be fine." he answered, "She's just asleep right now."

Dean tried not to let his anger consume him, "What happened to her?"

"The doctor said overdose. They found cocaine, heroin, and levamisole in her system." he explained to Dean who looked completely shocked. "I don't know what the fuck came over her to do that stuff. The doctor said that she's lucky she survived. That somebody as young and tiny as her would have started having seizures and eventually go into cardiac arrest."

"I'll tell you what it was. Corey probably forced her into doing that." Dean squeezed his hand into a fist until his knuckles popped.

Matt cringed at the name, "Don't even say his fucking name around me." he pointed at AJ's face, "See those cuts and bruises?"

"That fucker beat her?!"

"They said that she was possibly raped too. But AJ for some reason doesn't want to admit anything. And after he was done, he threw her body outside the hospital and drove off." Matt let his head fall down onto his hands, "This is all my fault. If I would have never lied and said that she cheated on him then this wouldn't have happened."

Dean shook his head, "Don't do that to yourself. He was probably trying to get her to do stuff before we interfered."

They both stopped talking once they noticed AJ moving her head around. "Am I dead?"

Dean held her shivering hand, "No, you're not dead. You're in the hospital."

She rubbed her pounding head, "I can't believe Corey would set me up like that. He said I cheated on him and I had no idea what he was talking about."

Matt and Dean glanced at each other, "AJ," he began, "I told Corey that you were cheating on him." her eyes widened as her brother admitted to what he did. "I was trying to break you guys up cuz I saw that he wasn't right for you. I'm sorry." he waited for AJ to respond but she didn't. "You hate me now don't you?"

AJ struggled to lean forward but managed to hug her brother, "Of course not. I'm actually glad you did it. That way I won't have to be dealing with him anymore. But he wasn't the one who dumped me here."

The guys cocked their heads, "What do you mean?"

"His friends Marilyn and Marshall did this. Actually, Marshall gave me the bad coke laced with levamisole then Marilyn attacked me and forcefully shot me up with heroin."

"Marshall?" Matt took a second to ponder, "That name sounds so familiar to me."

"Didn't you say you used to have a foster brother named, Marshall?" AJ asked. "I know when mom used to take me with y'all for your therapy appointments when we were little that you'd always talk to the doctor about him."

"How did you know that?"

"I would press my ear against the door. I never heard much though cuz mom would get mad at me for eavesdropping."

Matt had a moment to himself, thinking back to all the times Marshall would terrorize him when they were younger. He could never forget how Marshall pushed him in the pool when he was 5 and Matt hadn't learned how to swim yet. Or when he and Syn were sleeping and Marshall dumped a jar of fire ants onto them. After that happened Syn punched Marshall in the face, but that didn't stop him from picking on Matt still.

One day when their foster parents were gone because they took Syn to a doctors appointment, Marshall went into his foster moms closet and pulled out her favorite dress. He attacked Matt and forced him to get naked and put the dress on. Then he locked him in a closet with a flashlight, mirror, lipstick, and eyeshadow and wouldn't let Matt out until he put the make-up on. After that, he made Matt put on their foster moms heels and he would call him 'Matilda' and say he was a little bitch.

Every time they were left alone Marshall would always force Matt to do scaring things. Matt had always wanted to fight back but Marshall was bigger and older than him by 5 years. It was torture up until Marshall was sent away somewhere because his foster parents couldn't handle him anymore. That guy was plain evil since he was a little kid. Matt would never admit this to anybody, not even Synyster. But because of what Marshall did to him as a little boy, was the main reason Matt acted like how does today. Trying to be the alpha male was the only way Matt felt like he could erase how he felt all those years ago.

"Yo, are you okay?" Dean snapped his fingers in front of Matt's pale face.

"I'm fine." He lied, "AJ, do you know where Corey went?"

She shrugged, "Home I guess."

Dean growled to himself, "Where does he live?" He demanded an answer.

"Ambrose, just cool it." Matt told him, "Don't do something that will land you in jail."

"Tell me where the fuck he lives!"

Matt gave him the address, "If you're going through with this, I want you to make that fucker pay."

Before Dean walked out of the room, AJ called him back. "Dean... I'm so sorry. Leaving you for Corey was the stupidest decision I've ever made."

He walked back and kissed her bandaged forehead. "It's okay."

"What are you going to do to Corey?"

He smirked then kissed her softly on the lips, "What I have to do."

Dean slammed his fist on Corey's front door. The moment it opened Dean didn't hesitate to throw some punches. He watched as Corey tumbled to the floor, holding his bloody mouth. "What the fuck?!" Corey yelled, "Who the fuck are you?!"

"A friend of AJ's." he kicked Corey in the stomach, nearly knocking all the wind out of him. Dean grounded Corey and punched him in the jaw until his own knuckles got bloody. He spoke between every punch. "DON'T YOU EVER TREAT AJ LIKE THAT AGAIN!" Corey began passing out due to the beating. Dean roughly grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and shook him a few times to wake him up, "Where the fuck does your pal Marilyn live?"

Corey spit blood in Dean's face, "I'm not telling you anything."

Dean pulled out a gun that was tucked in the back of his jeans. He stood up and placed his foot on Corey's chest as he pointed it straight down. "You have 3 seconds to talk or else I'm pulling this goddamn trigger. Don't fucking think that I'm bluffing either."

"Matt?" AJ tiredly asked for him. "Where were you when I called?"

"I was at the peer with Becky. Why?"

"Just wondering." there was a short moment of awkward silence. "A few days ago Bayley told us that Jimmy said that you were planning on proposing to Becky."

He chuckled softly, "I should know better than to tell Jimmy secrets. But yeah, I was planning on it."

"Is that why you two were at the peer? Were you planning on proposing there?" he nodded his head, "Did she say yes?"

Matt rubbed his face, "I was in the middle of asking her to marry me, but that's when I got your call. After that I left her standing alone out there."

"Gosh. Do you actually love her or you're only doing this because she's pregers?"

He took a deep breath and sighed, "Honestly, a little bit of both."

"I don't like her." AJ admitted.

He chuckled, "I can tell. But just cuz you don't like her doesn't mean I can't love her." AJ stared at him for a while. That's when Matt realized that all this time of him and the guys trying to stop AJ from dating Dean wasn't going to force her to love him any less. "I'm sorry." he apologized.

"I know. But hey, if she makes my big bro happy then I'm happy too."

Matt smiled at her, "And if Dean makes you happy then I guess that makes me happy as well."

"Speaking of Dean, how did he find out I was here?"

"I called him. I figured he would want to know considering how much he cares about you."

AJ felt her eyes water. Just thinking about how selfish she was acting made her feel like crap. "I was being a bitch wasn't I?"

"Oh yeah! The biggest."

Dean parked his truck in a dark alley way. He went into the glove department and took out a pair of black gloves. Stored far in the back was a Joker mask that Sami had forgotten in Dean's truck. He slipped the mask over his face and pulled the hood to his black hoodie over his head. Dean looked over to the gun placed on the passengers seat, then took a deep breath before clutching onto it and sneaking up to Marilyn's house.

He peaked through the window and saw some prostitute giving Marilyn head in his living room. Once the chick left, Dean lit a smoke bomb and tossed it into the chimney. He watched as the whole house filled with black smoke.

Dean broke the window to the kitchen and climbed through. He heard Marilyn's footsteps run in, "Who the fuck is in here?!" he yelled with his eyes squinted due to the hazy, eye drying, smoke.

Dean snuck behind him, cocking the gun, and holding it up to the back of Marilyn's head, "Walk to the living room." he ordered.

Marilyn held his hands above his head and did what Dean said, "Whatever you want I don't have."

"Shut up!" Dean yelled in his ear. They were now standing in the middle of the smokey room. He kicked him in the back of the knee, forcing Marilyn to drop to his knees. He now had his face against the wooden floor. "You know why I'm doing this?"

"Because you're a fucking psycho!"

"Mmm wrong." Dean pulled the trigger and shot him in the back of the leg. Marilyn screamed. "Try again."

"I don't know, man!" he held his bloody wound.

"I'll give you a hint. Starts with an A and ends with a J."

"What? You mean that girl? Who the fuck are you to her?"

"That's none of your business. All you need to worry about now is if I choose to kill you or not."

Marilyn thought back to when AJ said if he hurts her he's dead. Is this what she had in mind? "I'm so sorry for what I did to AJ. I was just trying to mess around with her. I dropped her off at the hospital once things got out of hand! Please, just don't kill me." he cried, holding his hands up again.

Dean nodded, "Okay. I won't kill you."

Marilyn looked freaked out on how his apology actually worked. "Really? You're letting me go?"

"Yup." Dean started walking to the door then opened it. "Oh, before I forget." he turned around and shot Marilyn's shoulder, rib, stomach and blew his finger clean off. "Good night asshole." Dean slammed the door shut and sped off once he saw people coming out of their houses to see what was going on.

He drove back to the hospital and saw AJ and Matt both sleeping. He set a little teddy bear beside AJ then kissed her forehead. "I love you, AJ." he whispered to her sleeping body before leaving once again.
