"Next time you think of leaving us like that remember how much the consequences hurt." Jake sneers tying me to the kitchen table. My back was laying flat on the table surface and both my arms and legs were tied to the legs of the table. Last night after I had my bags packed Jake roughly grabbed my arm and led me to his beat up truck where as soon as we were out of the house he threw me into the back seat and drove back to his house in a hurry oblivious to the three people staring out the window in pain. I call it his house because that place is not my house, it use to be my house back when my mom was with us but now it's my personal hell and I never want to go back. Never again but I can't get what I want because that is exactly where I am going and I will always stay there. Especially if Jake has anything to do with it.

I find myself thinking about Mary, Robin and Eve and whether they miss me or already forgot I exist like I asked them to do. The look of desperation and sadness that they had etched on their face was enough to haunt me for eternity they looked so hopeless all because of me, all I do is harm the ones I love unintentionally.

I scream when Jake sprinkles boiling water on my arms. "Please stop." I beg not wanting to feel the pain I have coming my way.

"Where is your pretty boy now huh." He taunts laughing in my face spilling the cup of boiling water on my right arm for sure leaving burn marks on my body. "Stop it!" I shout thrashing around only to be put back down my the restraint of the ropes around me.

"Shut up! You have caused me lots of trouble lately and we need to teach you a lesson right boys." My dad says looking to the left, we?

I turn my head in the direction he looked and gasp in fear when I see Luca's smirking at me. When he sees me staring at him he waves tauntingly, "Don't do this to me please I won't leave ever again I promise just don't hurt me." I beg like the weak girl I am looking at an angry Jake.

"Sounds appealing but not as much as appealing your screams." Jake says in a bored tone. Robbie and Lucas laugh coming closer to the table I was tied to.

"So boys who goes first," Jake asks Robbie and Lucas,

"I'll go first that way Lucas can get the grand finally." Robbie says giving Lucas a wink and glaring at me. Oh no not again he can't touch me not again. I got away from him once I have to do it again but these stupid ropes won't let me move!!

"Please Robbie don't let them hurt me, please brother." I beg crying. For a split second I swear I saw Robbie's eyes soften but then they were back to being cold and emotionless state.

"Shut up I'm not your brother!" He shouts spiting on my face.

Jake and Lucas walk out laughing as they go to the next room. I gulp when I look up at Robbie cracking his knuckles. He pulls his fist back and then throws it forward hitting me in the face. My head rolls back smacking into the table, blood oozes from my lip. Robbie repeats his punches until my face feels numb. If I had a mirror and saw myself I was sure my face was inflated with purple and blue bruises and blood coated my body.

I cough blood up from my mouth the metallic taste making me cringe. My head sways to the sides and black dots take over my vision. I feel both asleep and awake, how much I wish to just sleep but I know I can't because If I do I might not wake up because of all the blows I received to the head I must have some serious brain damage. The suicidal thoughts come back to me at the thought of leaving everything behind to finally rest, maybe I should sleep and hopefully never wake up again I won't have to kill myself if in the future if I do decide to take my own life that way I won't be classified as a coward right? 

Robbie notices my droopy eyes, "Oh no you don't," he says splashing me with cold water causing me to drown in the water that went into my nose.

He unties me from the table and pushes me off causing me to land in a thud on the cold marble floor. I don't move for I am to weak to move or even breath in properly. My ribs hurt like hell, my head feels like a hammer has been smashed into it thirty times and my face feels as numb as it would after getting an anesthesia shot in the mouth when getting a cavity done. I can't feel my face at the moment but I know tomorrow morning I'll feel the pain full force.

I groan in pain as I try to lift my head to see Robbie with the eye that I can open. He is no longer in the room but I sure do wish he still was because the man I fear more then Jake and Robbie was in here with me when I am at my weakest giving him the perfect ability to take advantage of me without having to worry about me fighting back. Lucas stares at me in lust and hunger.

"Not again please." I moan out in pain feeling tears come from my only good eye at the moment. There is no use in begging they won't show mercy  why would they their evil they are true monsters on earth.

His shoes inch closer to me and he harshly grips onto my blond locks. He crouches and brings his mouth next to my ear, "I'm going extra hard on you tonight for all the fucking trouble you and your fuck buddy caused me." He growls pulling me up on my feet from the hair. I let out a scream as I feel the pain intensify inside my head. I start to hear a buzzing sound in my ear before black dots once again clouded my vision. Lucas turns me around his hand claps down on my neck bringing my right cheek in contact with the wooden table I was seconds ago tied to.  I silently cry closing my eyes trying to go to the grassy fields I would go to in times of darkness only for nothing to come to mind but more darkness, in that moment I realized I had giving up any hope of a happy life I ever had, happily ever afters don't exist- well for people like me that is. I hear the zipper of Lucas's pants before I close my eyes trying to assure myself this wasn't happening again but who was I kidding I was back where I didn't want to be and I was about to be raped for the second time.

Before I knew It I feel into unconscious not feeling the pain in my lower half. I don't ever want to wake up I want to rest in peace with my mom. There is no need for me her on earth I have no one. I am all alone and I always will be if I stay here to serve as Jake and Robbie's punching bag, 'Pleas just let it all end'  I pray in my mind as darkness takes over my mind completly.

The sound of a law mower wakes me up from my slumber. At the sight of the room I am in I groan and silent tears start to fall from my eyes at the realization that I am still here and breathing. I can now feel the aftermath of the beatings I got early morning, the pain feels as if I got ran over by a truck ten times. Fate sure does hate me doesn't it, why can't It just be over or do I have to do it myself.

"Get up and make lunch." Jake sneers kicking me in the ribs, a crack sound resonates throughout the room making him laugh as I cry out in pain on the kitchen floor where I must have slumped after Luca's got what he wanted.

After the pain subsides a bit I get up grabbing onto the edge of the table for support and I make my way to the fridge to make these pigs food.  I look at the time on the stove and see in is almost one.

I ended up making three ham and cheese sandwiches. I wasn't sure if Lucas was here or not so I made him one just in case. It's been a while since I last felt their wrath and I did not miss it one bit.

"Why did you make three, you won't be eating." Jake sneers looking at the last plate. Robbie stops chewing his sandwich and looks up at us waiting to see what was going to happen not a smile or smirk on his face just plain curiosity for how this will plan out.

"I, I thought L-Lucas was here so I-I made a-an extra s-sandwich, sorry." I mumble stuttering almost every word in that sentence.

"Why would he be here he doesn't live here last time I checked, stop lying to me I bet your fat ass just wanted to eat!"

"N-no please that's not true!"  I beg shouting not wanting another beating.

"Now your talking back! Did last night not teach you a lesson or do I need to be tougher on you?" He ask his decision on my punishment already made.

I scream when he pulls me by my hair and comes close to me, "Your mother would be disappointed in you!" He says into my ear before throwing me like a rag doll against the wall, a loud bang resonates throughout the room.

"I should just kill you and let you rot in hell." He sneers bending down to face my limp body.

"Do it." I tease him finding humor in this situation. I was fed up with living like this and if I have to live another day in fear for what my future holds then I want out and if taunting Jake until he is pissed is what I have to do to end it then so be it I'm ready for the pain to come. He can do his worse.

"I hate you! Both of you. Mom would be disappointed." I shout. Robbie swallows a lump in his throat and gets up from his chair causing a screeching sound to echo through the kitchen. For a second I though he would hit me or at least say something but instead he just left the room, coward.

"You have no right to say stuff like that It's us that should say that to you, you took her from us all for a stupid doll!" Jake shouts breaking down in front of me.

"I was six!!! I didn't know better. It wasn't my fault It was fate I had nothing to do with her accident and you know that you just want someone to blame since the man in the other car got away with no charges and his life." I confront him which only furthers his sobs. A loud crash comes from the living room of which Jake is unknown to since he is to busy withering in his own misery.

"What the?" I hear Robbie question in confusion. What is going on?

"Fuck!" I hear Robbie shout in pain followed by a loud crash that shook the house, this did alert Jake who lifted his head in curiosity.

"Stay here!" He says sounding strict yet tired all at once. There is no way in hell I'm-

"Where is she!" An all to familiar husky voice ask's sounding angry.

Before I know It I was shouting for him my voice sounding odd to even myself it was so hoarse and dry that when shouting it felt like glass cutting through the inside of my neck, " Nick In her!"

"Move!" I hear him shout before he comes into view Jake and Robbie trailing behind him. Why are they not doing anything but standing there not that I'm complaining but shouldn't they be stopping Nick?

"You bastards!" Nick shouts turning back to face Jake and Robbie.

"I'm gonna kill you both! How dare you hurt her she's your daughter, your sister." He growls looking at the two guilty looking pair.

Then as if a light switch turned on inside Jake he falls to his knees looking at my beaten and bloody body in pain, "What have I done?" Jake sobs, "Oh Meredith please forgive me for hurting our baby girl. I'm so sorry, so so sorry." He sobs looking up into the ceiling.

Robbie looks at our dad with tears in his eyes and he to falls on his knees crying into his hands. He then wipes his tears and looks at me with remorse and sorrow, "Your right mom would be disappointed in us. I'm so sorry pumpkin." Robbie apologizes looking truly heartbroken for what he and dad have done to me. Meanwhile I can do nothing but stare at the once vicious men break in front of me as well as apologize to me after ten years. I look at Nick to see he to is lost with a raised eyebrow making me want to chuckle but then I groan in pain when I feel my ribs throb in pain. 

"Shit we need to get you to a hospital." Nick says carefully lifting me into his warm arms.

"You came back." I mumble yawning feeling tired all of the sudden.

"I always will, I love you Carol and I'm sorry for leaving you like that at the bakery, hey, hey don't fall asleep baby not until I know your injuries aren't fatal." He begs but I know nothing would happen to me I always wake up in the end so I fell asleep like last night knowing that when I wake up I'll be fine.

"Can't to tired." I mumble my eyes closing.

"Carol don't!" Was the last thing before darkness consumed me a small smile on my face. He came back to me, he kept his promise.

Nicks POV:

"Carol don't close your eyes! Fuck" I curse when her eyelids fall close and her breathing evens out.

"I-Is she?" Robbie asks fear for the worst possibility. From the corner of my eyes I see Jake looking at the beauty in my arms with worry and horror for what he has done to her.

"No but if she doesn't get help she can go into a comma, now move!" I growl out pushing past him only to get stopped by a rough hand.

I growl shoving the arm harshly away from me, "Sorry," Jake sheepishly mumbles when he realizes how hard he grabbed me, "What!?" I ask him not in the mood for his stalling.

"Take care of her you make her happy something she hasn't felt in along time because of me. If possible have her come back to talk to me I want to fix things with her if she lets me that is. I'm done hurting her I can't do it I-I almost killed my own daughter for crying out loud and all because I was blinded by hate for myself. If only I was more stern with Meredith that night or at least gone with her then she would be here. The truth is I blamed myself not Carol I was so angry at myself that I wanted nothing more then to blame someone else and Carol just so happened to be the first person I saw." He says staring at Carol's sleeping face, he cringes when he sees the nasty bruises and cuts across her face.

"I'll tell her that you want to speak with her but I won't encourage or beg her to speak to you two... You guys don't deserve her, no one does not even me she is to pure for anyone but I'm to damn selfish to let her go." I tell him kissing Carols forehead.

"You love her a lot don't you?" Her dad sighs sadly.

"You have no idea." I tell him Carol then stirs in my arms whimpering in pain.

Jake frowns at the sound of her pain and breaths in deeply looking at the damage he had done, "Take her to the hospital make sure she's fine and gets help." He says wanting to touch her but doesn't.

"You do know they will ask what happened right?" I tel him and he only nods.

"Yes and I don't expect you to lie on my behalf I deserve what I have coming and while you're at it report Lucas Smith too. I don't know what I was thinking letting him touch her again." He confesses looking disgusted at himself.

"That fucker!" I shout gritting my teeth,

"I'm so sorry" Jake says caressing Carol's bruised and bloody cheek.

"I'm leaving" I tell him trying to control my anger.

He nods his head and stands next to an upset looking Robbie. I look at my beauty and with that I run to my car to get her help.
