I'M GONNA HAVE TO KILL YOU NOW :P Haha I'm updating… and I didn't see that change coming. God dammit, my ESP broke!

Warning: There is some M material in this chapter but it is not at all romantic. Don't read it if you're going to be a little bitch about it. A scene like this will probably never come up again, though.

Alex POV:

I sat on the floor relaxing with my headphones in. I was trying to avoid having a fan-girl freak out as The Morticians Daughter by the Black Veil Brides came on and I knew they were about two rooms away. Why was I sitting here then? I wanted time to clear my head before I talked to anyone right now. The whole thing with Clare had hit me pretty hard. I was just beginning to get over what happened in the past and I think I was ready to move on. One of the more major reasons was Dylan; I really liked him but I wasn't sure if he liked me back so I just kept it at minor flirting. I smiled as I thought and suddenly Dylan ran in the room to show me a text message. I smiled at his enthusiasm... that is until I read the message. It was from his cousin. Dylan was cousins with Lucas and Alec. I had found out shortly after moving here but I hadn't built up the courage to tell him about Lucas. To make matters worse, Lucas, Alec, and Dylan were like best friends. They told each other everything. The message said that Alec and Lucas were coming to visit.

"Bex?" I choked out, tears threatening to spill over as I read the message. Bex ran over within five seconds and froze when she saw me. I barely ever cried, so she had to know what this was about. Bex grabbed the phone from a confused Dylan while I sat on the floor, arms around my knees in a desperate attempt to keep myself together. A useless attempt to keep my heart from shattering again. I faintly heard a phone drop as that night replayed in my head.

Flashback:

"Hey freak! I heard you burn yourself! Is that true?" Taylor yelled from behind as Bex and I tried to rush away. Taylor and Lucas caught up when Lucas grabbed my shoulder.

"She asked you something. I suggest you answer." Lucas threatened. I closed my eyes and began to shake, a bad habit that starts when I'm nervous or scared. He grabbed my sleeve and pulled it up, revealing the numerous amounts of burns I had. I heard Bex gasp. She thought I had stopped.

"So you DO burn yourself… Lucas, why don't you give her a reason to want to hurt herself." Taylor sneered. Lucas nodded and dragged me into a nearby alley. Bex followed, trying to get me out of Lucas' grasp. I was shaking too much to be of any help. I was terrified. Lucas roughly pressed his lips to my mouth, shoving his tongue in my mouth.

"Stop it! I'll tell Alec!" Bex yelled out, tears pouring down her face as Taylor held her back. Alec was Taylor's boyfriend who was REALLY overprotective of me. I was like a little sister to him. He was so sweet, I never understood how LUCAS could be his brother. When Lucas heard Bex's threat he turned and glared.

"He'll never believe you, little whore." Lucas growled. I looked toward Bex desperately as she mouthed I'm Sorry and continued to fight against Taylor. I gasped through my tears as I felt Lucas roughly grab my breasts. It hurt so much, this wasn't how my first time was supposed to be! It was supposed to be nice and gentle. The tears poured down harder as I felt Lucas take off my black skinny jeans and underwear. He roughly thrust into me, eliciting a scream to escape from my mouth. The rest of it is a blank, as I passed out from the pain.

Flashback Over

"No Alex! Come on.. come on!" I heard Bex desperately mumble, trying to get me to stop scratching myself. I had fainted. Dylan stood back terrified at my antics.

"Bex, we need to go upstairs. Now. I can't hold on for long." I said, referring to the panic attack I was having.

"Alex! Alex, what's wrong?" Dylan asked, clearly worried. I just shook my head as Bex led me upstairs. I briefly heard her tell Clare to come up too. Clare had seen my panic attacks before and was calm throughout the whole thing. I walked upstairs, into Clare's room and started sobbing uncontrollably. I was hyperventilating too, as memories from that night kept surfacing.

Dylan POV:

What the hell is wrong with Alex? I haven't ever seen her like this. This wasn't the Alex that I was falling head over heels for. I mean… as a friend. Yea that's it! I like her like a friend and I'm beginning to love her like a friend… wait, who the fuck am I lying to? I'm thinking, no one can hear me. At least I hope none of these guys read minds. I felt my scattered thoughts become interrupted when I was pushed up against a wall. Uh- oh.

"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY BABY SISTER?" Eli yelled at me. I flinched as I looked into his burning green eyes. Fitz and Adam stood behind him, glaring at me furiously. Alli had left to go upstairs and help Clare. The guys from the bands stood back and watched Eli, as if they were shocked at his strength.

"Nothing! I just showed her a text… my cousins are coming next week and I'm really excited because I practically grew up with them. We're best friends. After seeing the message she just kinda started crying." I explained, watching Eli's eyes become clouded with confusion and clear with realization. I have really got to stop looking into his eyes like that. It's just WEIRD.

"Show me the text." Eli said, eyes sparkling with hate. Dammit! I did it again! Ignoring my odd thoughts, I fished my hand into my pocket and showed him the text. He quickly read it and looked up, a weird expression on his face. Suck it! Guess who isn't looking in his eyes? This guy!

"What's up, Eli?" Adam asked, confused. Eli swiftly passed my phone back and Adam and Fitz read it quickly. They also got the same weird expression on their faces.

"I feel like I'm missing something… what is it?" I asked, confused.

"She never told you… I can't believe it. I thought you knew… I thought we all knew." Eli said, shaking his head. I didn't know what? This is so confusing.

"What? What don't I know?" I asked, beginning to get annoyed. Eli, Fitz, and Adam looked shocked.

"Umm I'm kinda confused. What doesn't this kid know?" Jack asked, from behind everyone else. We all turned around and stared at him. He held up his hands in defense and gave us a sheepish smile.

"Alright, if you won't tell me I'm just going to go get Alex." I turned around determined to get an answer. When I turned around, I saw Clare, Becca, and Alli coming downstairs. Clare looked at me and looked down.

"Alex wants to talk to you Dylan. I want you to do us all a favor and speak calmly. I can't deal with that again. You don't know how much it kills me to see her like that." Clare spoke quietly as I noticed the tear tracks on her face. Eli quickly ran up to her and she collapsed in his shoulder, sobbing viciously. Becca seemed to be made of stone as she looked down. She walked down the stairs, went into a corner of the room, and started crying. Fitz ran over to her and began comforting her. Alli walked down and straight into Adam's arms. What could've happened that was this bad? I saw all the band dudes looking confused as they watched the three sobbing girls. I shook my head and walked upstairs.

"Alex? What's wrong?" I asked walking into Clare's room, where Alex was. I was surprised when I was tackled with a hug. Alex barely hugged anyone. I looked down, smiled at her and wrapped my arms around her.

"You have to promise me that you won't run away. You won't think I'm a slut. Promise me." Alex said. I looked down shocked that she would ever consider herself a slut. I had never seen her with a guy and she was always wearing full sleeves or a jacket. She never wore booty shorts and left quite a lot to the imagination.

"I promise." I said, anxious about what I was about to hear.

"I couldn't tell you before because you're so close with him but I think that I can trust you. Lucas raped me. He did it in 7th grade. I wasn't even a teenager." Alex sobbed into my arms. I tightened my arms around her and felt my anger coming to a boil. Lucas wasn't going to get away with this. Who the fuck does something like that? He was going to pay. I would hurt him.

Alright so that's it for now. Review. Have a blast. Before you think Dylan is stupid… he's just weird. His personality is REALLY important. Anyways, what did you get your mom's for mother's day? Best gift gets a preview.
