Thank you all for reviewing. Wow I can't believe what an accomplishment this story is. Anywho I won't keep you waiting.

Recap: "Sora, what happened to you?" Tai asked.

Ch. 19

Beating for a cause

"When I left for New York, I was searching for someone, and I was contacted by that someone. So I left and I tried to meet up with this person but I never did ½ a year later I got a call.

Flashback

"Hello," Sora answered.

"Come back to Japan" a deep low voice demanded.

"Uhh..Why? And who the heck is this?"

"I have the one you seek and if you do not come back I will kill him...you know who I am"

'Brett'

End of Flashback

"So I came back and Brett made me get drugs for him and abused me when I didn't do what he asked. Also well...he even slept with me...all this time I still haven't seen that someone...that someone is my 8 year old little brother, Connor!"

Everyone gasped no one had ever known that Sora had a little brother...not even Tai.

"Why didn't you ever say anything?" Tai asked.

"Well, my dad cheated on my mom and a girl that he raped got pregnant and had Connor."

There was a lot of silence between everybody a lot of deep thoughts.

"Sora there's nothing to be ashamed of or afraid of...there's nothing different about your personality were your friends and we're here for you, no matter what! You're not alone in this world Sora, we WILL get you through this" Kari's sweet voice spoke.

"Yeah Sora, we're here and that will never change and I love you and I know T.k. and Kari do...but Matt I don't know about" Tai said causing Sora to laugh.

"Hey," Matt said leaning in and kissing Sora on the cheek.

They all laughed and had some fun until her cell rang.

--ring, ring—

"Hello," Sora said with a hint of laughter in her voice from playing strip poker with everyone and poor Tai loosing badly.

"The shipments' here outside the Conoco on Block Street."

Sora's face saddened and everyone stopped laughing.

"What?" Matt said standing up.

"I'll be back in 2 hours" Sora said putting her coat on and reaching for her keys.

"Sora! Where are you going?" Tai asked.

"I'll be back I promise."

Sora opened the door and left.

"What do we do?" Tai asked.

"Let's get our minds off the subject and why don't we tidy up a bit." Kari suggested.

Matt, Tai, and T.k. smiled and they began to clean.

Outside the Conoco on Block Street

Sora glanced at her watch while rubbing her arms in the cool weather.

--10:30 p.m.— it read.

Sora's teeth were chattering when finally a black mustang pulled up and a door opened and someone snatched her in.

"Where is it?" She asked.

They handed her back heroine, marijuana, and cocaine. She gave them 9 grand.

"Thanks," a man said.

Quickly opening the door he threw her out.

'God, they get meaner as I go' she pulled out her cell and dialed Brett's number.

"ya," Brett's voice said.

"I've got it." She said flatly.

"Well babe come on in"

"I was thrown out of the car!"

"I'll come get you"

"Block Street"

Sora sighed and shivered waiting on Brett.

30 minutes later

A car pulled up and slowed down by the sitting girl. She lifted her head to the car. She opened the back door and crawled in. She curled up and Brett took his coat off and laid it over her. She accepted it willingly, which was not often. She eventually fell asleep.

Brett's Apartment

Brett carried Sora into his apartment, laying her on his couch. Sora moaned and adapted to the lighting.

"Where am I?" She asked.

"My place" Brett replied.

Sora death glared him. Brett smiled.

"Where is it?" Brett asked.

Sora sighed and handed over the drugs.

"I want to see him! When will I be off your hook?" Sora asked annoyed.

"Don't know, now I'm not appreciating this attitude of yours."

"Good you deserve a bad attitude" Sora was raising her voice and regretting every second of it.

Brett hit her in the face causing a bruise to begin to appear. She kneed him in the crotch. They fought brutally.

Sora's Apartment

1 hour later

The door opened to Sora's apartment. Matt and Tai gasped and ran to Sora's side before she collapsed.

"Sora hold on you'll be ok" she heard Matt say.

"Call 911" she heard Tai say.

Those were the last words Sora heard before going unconscience.
