AN: You guys, I'm just too excited to stop writing. I love this story, it's like my child. Anyways, this chapter will be from Cat's POV simply because I want you guys to know what goes on with the group while Marley is out of the picture.

Disclaimer: Still don't own Victorious… Sorry.

Warning: As the last two chapters entailed, there will be graphic scenes.

Broken Glass

I didn't want to leave her by herself, knowing that what she went through would kill me if I went through it. I hopped in my car and rode off into the sunset… Ha. Just kidding. I went to school and met up with the group.

When I got to school, Andre and Tori were already waiting for me at our table at the Asphalt Café. They waved me over when they spotted me getting out of my car. I knew they were getting ready to ask me what happened after Marley and I left Karaoke Dokie the night before. I wasn't prepared to give them an answer and I didn't want to give Marley away without her being there to defend herself.

"So how'd it go last night, Lil' Red," Andre spouted, a huge smile growing on his face. Both of them stifled a gasp when I approached them further and they saw that my eyes were red and puffy from crying at Marley's apartment.

"Woah, woah. What did she do to you Cat? Did she hurt you? I will kill her if she comes near you again." Tori was steaming. I put my hand on her shoulder to calm her down. Sighing, I sat down next to Andre, when Beck and Jade suddenly walked up to us. Jade had a smirk on her face and Beck looked lost.

"Hey there, Cat," Jade drawled. Her smirk soon disappeared when she and Beck noticed the looks I was getting from Andre and Tori. "Wow, I do believe Cat owes us an explanation for last night. What happened after you took our new girl home?"

"Well… I don't know if I should say anything. It's not my place to tell her story and I think you guys deserve to hear it from her. She isn't going to be here today because last night wasn't the best night in her history. I feel really bad for her, honestly. I know I only met her a couple of days ago, but I feel like I know a lot more about her than most people. I feel like she keeps everything hidden and I'm tiptoeing on broken glass. She is so sweet and so helpless right now. She wanted me to get you all to visit to cheer her up but I'm so afraid that I can't make her happy like she was up there on that stage last night. I feel so attracted to her, I want her to be mine. She's stuck in the past and we need to help her. I don't know how to help but I want to make sure she knows that we are there for her no matter what. Andre and Tori, you two have been friends since Tori got to this school. Jade and Beck, your history surpasses this school. You two dated back when we were just sophomores. Jade and I have been best friends since middle school. Marley has no one. I'm scared she'll leave and she'll never come back. I sound really desperate but I love having her around. I…" I stopped mid-sentence. Suddenly, my mouth got dry and I had trouble getting any other words out. The others noticed my quick change and looked in my direction.

"Hey, babe. Don't worry yourself over it. I don't know what happened but I know that you did everything right. I know you, Cat. I know that you took good care of her when she needed you most and that will definitely stop her from leaving us. You're the most caring person on Earth and anyone that knows you, would say that you, out of all of us, are the only one who can stop someone from doing something, especially after their mind is set on it. Remember when Robbie had that huge crush on you, and you told him last year that, he is such a great person that any girl who dated him would be the luckiest soul on the planet? You were so right. He got a girlfriend and now, he is looking forward to getting married after graduation. You told Jade that if she wanted me all to herself, all she had to do was ask and now look at us. We've been going out for almost a year." Tori gave her speech eloquently, and even Jade had a tear running down her cheek.

For the rest of the day, I thought about what Tori had said. She was right when she said she knew me. I could feel her heart hurting in tandem with mine and I knew there was nothing I could do about it at that moment. She was probably so scared and I wasn't there to help her. I couldn't wait 'til school was finally over so I could take the gang to Marley's and cheer her up.

The bell rang and I practically flew out of my seat in Sikowitz's class. I raced to my car and mass-texted the group Marley's address. I hit send and drove as fast as I could. I had to check on my princess. I felt a connection that I never had before with anyone.

When I arrived at the apartment, I knew something was off. I raced up the stairs and through the door that was already ajar. I couldn't see that anything had been touched, as it was just how I left it this morning. I heard a squeak from the bedroom, over the manly moaning and grunting. I remembered what Marley had said about the boy she dated so I was curious.

I walked into the bedroom and let a scream slip from my lips. I already knew that Jade and Tori would be showing up in the next few minutes. What I saw was enough to make me sick to my stomach.

He backed away and I saw Marley crying and whimpering softly, her arms and legs tied to the bedposts. His erection was still prominent when he pulled himself out of Marley's bleeding center.

"Is this your idea of fun? You cause so much pain and yet you continue to do it. Why? For what purpose?" I shrieked. I was so mad, I felt steam coming out of my ears. I was so stunned, I didn't even notice that he had slipped out of the room.

"Oh, no you don't. You're so not going anywhere." I heard Jade's voice in the other room. I could tell she was seething. I moved to close the door behind me so that no one would walk in and see Marley as she was. Naked and covered in blood. I shuffled lightly across the floor to where she was curled up on the bed and scooped her up into my arms.

"Marley, darling. Do you want us to call the cops?" I asked her quietly, pressing my cheek against her forehead before all hell broke loose and her body was quivering in fear.

"N…no. I just want him gone. I don't ever want to see him again," she cried into my neck. "Don't let him take me again!"

I pulled her as close as I could and held her, already feeling like that night would be a long one.
