Tori cried. She knew what was about to happen. Scott never broke a promise. Tori wiped her eyes and sniffled. She heard the car pull up in the driveway.

She had 'embarrassed' Scott in front of his friends. They were at some bougie restaurant and Tori wasn't so bougie, so it was embarrassing. First off, she didn't wear the Chanel outfit Scott brought her, instead she chose Gucci. "It was ugly.". Scott's friends just laughed. They thought she was being funny.

She used a salad fork to eat her dinner. Scott's friends didn't say anything, but they definitely noticed.

The fruit and cheese came to the table afterward. Tori had asked "When is dessert coming?"

Scott had walked her outside and described her fate when he got home "You're gonna pay for embarrassing me like this.." He just told his friends that she got sick.

Tori's heart fluttered. She heard his footsteps coming down the hall to their large master bedroom. He opened the door.

Tori watched him from the black and gold chaise longue she was sitting on. He unbuttoned the first few buttons of his silk shirt and removed his shoes.

He grabbed Tori and tossed her to the floor. "What the fuck is your problem?! Saying Gucci is superior to Chanel, not knowing basic table etiquette.. Stupid bitch."

He pulled Tori up by her red locks and tossed her out into the hall. She began to crawl away. It would only START with her being tossed like a rag doll.

Scott threw vases and plants, anything in their hall, at Tori. She managed to crawl into a guest bedroom. Scott grabbed a fist full of her hair. He slapped her. "Fucking moron.. All you had to do was be quiet!"

"Scott, I'm-" He punched her and she fell to the ground again. "Stupid slut.."

He dragged her into the bathroom connected to the bedroom and threw her into the shower. He quickly turned on the cold water and used the shower head to hose her down.

Tori squealed. "Scott, stop! I'm sorry!"

Scott removed his black Fendi belt and whipped Tori with it. She screamed and cried for him to stop. He went to the gym regularly, and stopped whipping her when he was out of breath, a long time.

He tossed the belt aside and pulled her out the shower, her Juicy Couture tracksuit wetting the floor.

He chuckled. "Man, you're so stupid. You don't see how easy you have it."

He began his next round of torture...

Tori woke up with a jolt, panting and crying. She fell back against the pillows. Ten years later and she still had nightmares..

She went out into the living room. Dean and Seth slept on the couch and Roman on the floor. Tori walked to the bathroom to take a shower.

Dean woke up next. He climbed off of Seth and maneuvered around Roman to get to the bedroom. The door was finally open.

He pounced on the bed and a few moments later, Tori walked in wearing a robe. "Why the fuck are you in here? Go back to the couch."

Dean stared at Tori. Something seemed off about her. Her insult wasn't all that insulting and he saw something he hadn't seen in her eyes for a while.

Terror.

He didn't know why. She only told him that she has nightmares occasionally. She never described them or even told Roman and Seth. She just told Dean that she has nightmares at times..

"Tori.."

She didn't look up. She kept searching through the luggage on the bed. Dean grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him.

"Are you okay? Did you have another, uh, nightmare?"

"Yes." She mumbled.

He sighed. "Do you want to talk about it?"

"No."

"C'mon Tori. You can't keep, whatever is bothering you, stay bottled up inside you. Just-"

"The nightmares are about an Ex, okay?"

Dean released her face and pulled her close to his body. He was reclined against the pillows and Tori was curled up at his side.

"Scott was very.. aggressive. He- He used to shout and yell at me when I did or said something wrong. When I didn't 'listen', he would hit on me." Tori buried her face into the side of Dean's chest and sniffled. "Shh.. Its okay, continue.."

"Scott would throw stuff at me.. Burn me with water... Force- He forced me to have sex.."

Tori began crying and Dean didn't force her to continue. He held her tight as she cried and cried..

The Shield arrived at Seth's home in Iowa and Tori kept to herself. Seth and Roman have been trying to get her to talk. They thought they did something wrong. Roman even offered to let Tori fight him like she wanted to last night.

Seth, Roman and Dean went out to get lunch and Tori stayed in the apartment. She was staring at the tv, not really watching it. Scott still lingered on her mind..

"Tor-ri..." Scott said in a sing-song voice.

She froze. Tori had been reorganizing all her things in their large walk-in closet. Scott came in and smiled.

He sighed. "There you are.. Come here.."

Tori took two steps back. Scott frowned. "What's wrong?"

Tori's skin was red and some areas, like her neck, were bruised. Her lip was swollen.

"You know I didn't mean any of that stuff last night, right?" He stepped forward and Tori took one step backward, bumping a wall. He ran his fingers through her soft hair.

Tori flinched when he reached to hold her face. He kissed her. "C'mon.."

He led her out of the closet and pushed her back on the bed..

Tori was drawn away from her thoughts when someone knocked at the door. "Who is it?"

"Leighla."

Tori opened the door. "Oh. You. I'm sorry about slamming the door in your face the last time you were here."

Leighla smiled. "Its alright, really. I understand how cranky you can get, traveling all the time, little time for rest. I just stopped by to see if Seth was here."

"He left a while ago. He should be back soon though, I'm sure."

"Oh, okay. Can I wait in here then?"

"Sure."

When the guys got back, Leighla was sitting on the couch, legs crossed, hands folded. "Oh hi, Roman.. Dean.. Seth.."

Tori walked into the room. "Seth, Leighla had stopped by to talk to you. C'mon Dean and Roman, lets give them privacy."
