A/N: Flashbacks and future chapters will get more graphic.
"I didn't do anything, I promise!" I plead with this guy who has a knife held to my throat and me pinned against the wall of the abandoned motel. I don't normally get scared by much but the way he's shaking has me thinking that the knife is gonna slip and cut my throat.
"You convinced Johnny to cut me off, I need my fix, damn it!" The guy says angrily. I try to and manage to push him off me but before I can grab my gun, he jams the knife into my right shoulder, making me scream in pain. Before he can attack me again, he jolts forward and falls down.
"Carly, back away from him!" Johnny says, pulling me close to him and standing in front of me as the guy on the ground sits up, the bullet having lodged into his heart. My eyes are closed but I hear the guy take his last breath, Johnny rubbing his hand up and down my back. I reach my left hand up and try to pull the knife out, Johnny stopping me and gripping my hand as I open my eyes.
"I know it hurts but it's stopping the bleeding, you have to leave it in for now." Johnny says softly, lightly brushing the blood and tears off of my face before we leave.
When we're at the E.R and the knife is removed and my shoulder's stitched up, I ask Johnny who that guy was.
"Samuel was a good kid at one time but the drugs turned him crazy." Johnny says.
"Like Billy?" I ask, having heard stories about how Billy Grey was cool at one point but the drugs turned him insane. No wonder Johnny doesn't use it personally, he wants to keep himself sane. It's also the same reason I stay away from drugs… that and Trevor's completely fucking psycho when he's high.
"Billy was an uncontrollable bastard since he got hooked on Heroin. Gionna tried to cut him off repeatedly but he almost killed her the last time she tried and she got fed up and said that if he wanted to keep shooting it up his arm, it wasn't her problem anymore." Johnny says, lightly rubbing his hand up and down my back. That's sort of similar to what I told Trevor the last time he was shooting Meth into his bloodstream, although I actually said "If you're gonna go and lose what little bit of control you had back in Ludendorff by doing this, go on ahead, you fucking bastard!" before I stormed out of the caravan that day.
Carly slowly opened her eyes and rolled onto her right side, finding herself on the sofa bed and hissing as she remembered that when Trevor threw her into the office of the Vanilla Unicorn, she smashed her shoulder against the floor.
"Damaged by Ivory's bullet, fucked up even worse by Samuel's knife and then damaged again by Trevor…" Carly mutters sleepily as she sits up, Johnny walking in with two tablets of Aleve and a glass of water.
"This should help with the hangover and Trevor inflicted injuries." Johnny says, handing both to Carly, who swallowed the Aleve and drank the water. It made Carly mad that Trevor had hurt her.
Actually, it made her pissed off. Trevor could be vicious at times but he had never grabbed her in a fit of rage, tied her up, threw her into the truck and then untied her, only to drag her out, kick a door open and throw her across a room. Carly was thankful that Jackie had been there and helped her out.
"There are times I wish Trevor would just leave me the fuck alone." Carly mutters, Johnny carefully pulling her into his arms. He hoped Trevor hadn't broken any of Carly's bones by doing what he did. Johnny would never forget the first time he heard Carly scream in pain and that was back when Amanda had grabbed Carly's left arm and smashed it against the granite countertop of the De Santa's kitchen work surface.
That had pissed Johnny off to the point where he pulled Amanda off of Carly and threw Amanda to the ground. Johnny hated doing that, he had always been taught to never physically attack a woman… but seeing Carly's arm bent at a bad angle made him shove his values aside so he could protect the tiny teen from Amanda's abuse. Carly had stayed with Johnny for a while after that, not feeling safe at the house. When she did go back, Amanda was being dragged out in handcuffs for trashing the house and trying to stab Michael, who had disarmed Amanda and threw the knife onto the ground, although Amanda later claimed that Michael tried to stab her and that that's what led to her trashing the place.
Carly and Johnny let go and Carly was about to lie back down when her phone rang, her seeing it was Trevor and flicking her phone into sleep mode, putting it in her pocket.
At the same time, Jackie was waking up in her apartment, glad that she didn't have to work tonight or have college classes for the next two days. She didn't like her old boss, Leon, at times but at least he had never physically attacked anyone like Trevor did to Carly yesterday. Right now, Jackie wanted nothing to do with Trevor but being a stripper was the only job she could find in this acid washed paradise known as Los Santos.
Jackie turned the radio on, Turn The Page by Bob Seger playing as she got up and stretched her arms over her head. She had called Michael last night, told him what happened and Michael promised that he'd handle things with Trevor.
"Damn, Michael. How the hell could you ever let him near your family?" Jackie muttered to herself as she grabbed her lighter and cigarettes and walked onto the balcony. She put a cigarette in her mouth and lit it, inhaling the nicotine and soothing her nerves before taking the cigarette out and taking a breath before smoking it again.
Everyone has their ways of dealing with stress is what Jackie always told herself.
"Got one of those for me?" Jackie heard after opening the door, looked and saw that Tracey had shown up. Jackie nodded, letting Tracey in and handing the blonde a cigarette, lighting it for her. Tracey inhaled the nicotine and breathed out the smoke after putting the cigarette between the index and middle fingers of her left hand. "My dad said that you ran into my sister yesterday. Is she alright?" She asks, having not heard from Carly in a few days.
"Hopefully, she's okay. She did smash her shoulder against the floor when Trevor tossed her into the office." Jackie says. She had been tempted to offer Carly a cigarette yesterday to calm the teen's nerves but something told her that Carly didn't smoke. 'And it's good she doesn't… it'll ruin her for the rest of her life if she did.' She thought.
At the same time, Trevor was walking out into the back of the Vanilla Unicorn when Michael grabbed him and threw him against the wall, bashing Trevor's head into it before pinning his right forearm against Trevor's throat.
"You ever put your hands on my daughter or any of my kids again, I'll fucking kill you, chop you up and bury you in the desert, you psychotic son of a bitch!" Michael yells.
"And what about what happens every time Carly's heading off to the Lost MC-" Trevor manages to say before Michael punches him.
"Johnny hasn't hurt Carly and neither have the others… the only ones who have hurt Carly are you and Amanda and it's damn well gonna stop!" Michael growls, smashing Trevor's head against the wall again and knocking Trevor out before letting him fall to the ground.
Michael then walked to his Obey Tailgater and got in, buckling up and slamming the door shut before driving off.
Michael had had enough of Trevor's insanity and overly controlling nature, especially towards Carly... there were days when Michael wondered why he hadn't shot and killed Trevor the day he met him at the damn airfield in Ludendorff.
