Summary: Jamie helps a fellow student when she is assaulted and ends up in danger. Everything spirals out of control when Frank's past comes back to haunt him, and disturbing secrets are revealed.

This story is a tad AU; I moved up the timeline a bit so that I could use more advanced technology. Instead of taking place in 1995, (which is when Will Estes was 17) it is based in 2014.

Joe is alive in this story, but Betty, (Henry's wife) and Mary (Frank's wife) are not. I also decided that Jack (Erin's ex-husband) and Linda (Danny's wife) are not going to be in this story. There are also several POVs, first person, and third person. I tried to make a clear break between every switch.

Here are the ages: Jamie is 17, Joe is 19, Erin is 22, Danny is 24, Frank is 46 and Henry is 64.

This story is, almost,100% complete, I still have a little editing to do, but I have the whole thing typed out. I will try to update it regularly. I'm not sure if that means once a week, or more yet.

Warnings for violence, torture, sexual assault, mentions of rape and a tiny bit of language. I feel like I have given ample notice, so please don't read if you don't like that kind of stuff. I hope you enjoy!

The first chapter is in Jamie's POV.

Warning for sexual assault and violence in this chapter.

Consequences

Prologue

"You're grounded."

I knew this was coming, but I still dreaded it. "How long?"

"Two weeks."

"What! Dad, come on, that's not fair!" Two weeks?! Is he crazy?

"Don't argue with me! I'm your father, I'll decide what's fair. You came home with a black eye and your only explanation is 'I got into a fight'! At school no less! I would have never expected this from you. Danny maybe but not you!"

I couldn't look him in the eyes anymore. I could feel how disappointed he was. I didn't even do anything wrong, but I couldn't tell him the truth. I had made a promise. He still made me feel guilty, but I can't change the past. Even if I could, I wouldn't have.

"And you aren't going to the Daniel's BBQ tomorrow either."

"Wait, dad, I'm sorry. Please, I've been looking forward to it for weeks! I'll do anything you want without complaint, just please let me go." I begged. Ben Daniels is my best friend, and his family had invited us over to a BBQ this weekend for John and Kelly's 23 anniversary.

"Then tell me exactly what happened and who was involved."

Flashback

"Jamie come on, I want to shower before my next class!"

Just a minute Ben! I have to go grab my jacket!"

"I'm not waiting for you. I'll see you in class!"

"Whatever!" I yelled back. He couldn't even wait 10 seconds. I rolled my eyes. I went over and picked up my jacket and was just about to head to the showers when I heard someone whimpering. Was someone hurt? I looked around, but I only saw the shed the school used to store the outdoor PE supplies. I heard it again. Okay, there's definitely someone back there. I walked around to the back of the shed. I gasped and dropped my jacket. Samuel Jones had Sarah Kennedy pinned against the wall with his body. He had one hand covering her mouth while the other was trying to pull up her shirt. Samuel heard me and turned to determine the source of the noise. He looked slightly panicked until his eyes landed on me.

"You can have a turn when I'm done." He said with a sly smirk.

I was shocked. I looked at Sarah and saw the terror written across her face. She was crying, pleading for help with her eyes. I couldn't let this happen, I had to do something. "Get away from her."

He laughed. " What are you going to do? Go tell a teacher? Go ahead I'll be done by the time you get back."

"I said get away from her!"

He laughed again. I growled and charged him. I rammed my shoulder into his side and tackled him to the ground. It wasn't the brightest idea considering he was probably twice my size. We had barely hit the ground before he threw me off and punched me in the face. Stars exploded in my vision, and I collapsed onto the ground. He stood over me and brought his foot back to kick me, I was too stunned to protect myself. Before he could kick me, Sarah grabbed his shoulder, spun him around and kicked him in the crotch. He gasped, collapsed and started moaning. She walked over and helped me up.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah… I'm-I'm fine. Are you okay?"

"I don't know… Can you please not tell anyone?" She begged.

"We should tell someone. What if he tries to hurt you again?"

"I… Please, just promise you won't say anything." She pleaded. She was crying again.

"Okay...I promise" I answered hesitantly.

"Thank you" she whispered before she turned and ran away.

End Flashback

"I…Can't" I answered pitifully.

"That's why you can't go. Not because you got in a fight, but because you are lying to me. Now go to your room. I don't want to speak to you until you're ready to tell me the truth."

"Yes sir" I mumbled as I turned. I repressed the urge to cry and slowly made my way to my room.
