She kept on, despite the pain… she ran through the storm.

16 year old Carly Jade De Santa hated herself right now, she didn't feel right beating him to a bloody pulp… but she kept thinking back to the pain inflicted on her from what happened… and what would've happened.

It was as she did stop to call 911 and report herself that a car hit her and knocked her into unconsciousness.

Carter Missildine bolted from it and ran to her, crouching down… a look at the light brown hair confirmed who he had hit.

"Oh no… what have I done?" Carter asked. "I hit my niece!"

Carter took his jacket off and tied it around Carly's broken left leg, Carly letting out a painful gasp as her eyes snapped open and Carter rushing back to her and stroking her hair.

"Carly, are you alright?" Carter asked. "I'm really sorry, Violet…"

"I know… Uncle Carter, something… something bad happened tonight…" Carly manages to say, Carter seeing that her black lace cropped bustier top was ripped up and the button on her black skinny jeans was missing.

"Oh no… who did this to you?" Carter asked.

"I… I can't remember his name… all I remember him yelling and then I grabbed something and hit him… I think he's dead…" Carly says, her arms wrapping around her injured rib cage as Carter dialed 911, trying to keep Carly conscious.

Before she lost consciousness again, she heard the familiar roar of a motorcycle.

"Carly!" Johnny yelled as he ran over to them, crouching down next to her.

"It was an accident!" Carter says.

"With this weather, yes… but who left these bruises on her?!" Johnny says, putting his jacket on Carly.

"She told me that someone attacked her… and she claims that she killed him." Carter explained, looking down at his niece.

Blake Rose and Jade Knight looked up from the taxi they were in when it stopped and saw an ambulance.

"Damn, someone got fucked up!" Jade says.

"Yeah, it's horrible out here in this weather." Blake agreeing. "I hope that nothing's gonna happen to us when we find my Daddy and Uncle Michael."

"I hope so too." Jade says as they emerged from the taxi to get a closer look… and Blake screamed in horror when she saw who was on the stretcher.

"Blake… is that really you?" Carter asks, Blake in a trance as she examined Carly's injuries… the compound fracture was consistent with being hit with the car but the bruises were from fists.

"Oh my God!" Blake said shocked, still looking at Carly's injuries.

"She didn't say who it was… just that she fought back." Johnny says, watching Carly's upper body rise and fall with the breathing but that was the only sign of life in her.

When Carly woke up in the ER, her vision was blurry but one person stood out from the black hair.

"Blake?" Carly says as her vision cleared.

"Hi, Carly Jade." Blake greeted softly.

"I missed you… so much, cousin." Carly says as the two hugged… and Carly letting out a painful cry as Blake hugged her too tightly.

"Sorry…" Blake said, once she finally let go.

"It's okay… everything just…" Carly says, Blake noticing one more thing… bruises that matched handprints on Carly's wrists.

"What happened to you?" Blake asked, hugging herself. "Did someone hurt you in a bad way?"

"He tried to… I wasn't gonna let that happened and fought back…" Carly says as it all flashed back to her…

"Ethan, stop!" Carly yelled, shoving him back… and Ethan backhanding her across the face before lunging at her again, ripping her shirt.

"Just let me do it, come on!" Ethan yelled as he bit her shoulder too hard.

Carly screamed and kicked him off before he could bite her again… but it made him angrier.

Without warning, Ethan slammed his fists into Carly's body… before reeling back as he had been hit hard, Carly holding an ashtray in her right hand before she clobbered him repeatedly…

"Older guy… senior at the school…" Carly says.

"Oh… you're not alone, Carly." Blake said. "I too was hurt, but… in a different way."

"Pain is pain… and once it hits you, it hurts… he didn't rape me but I trusted him…" Carly says as tears fell. "And he betrayed me…"

"I'm sorry to hear that…" Blake reached out and grabbed a box of tissues for Carly, as she gave a few to her. "Sometimes… I don't trust people, even though they seem nice at first. Just how my mom did to me, except for my friend."

Carly brushed her tears away and felt a hand on her back, seeing Johnny before he pulled her into his arms, Blake, Carter and Jade heading into the hallway and seeing Michael dragging Lunch and Max in.

"Girls, you both were drugged, you need a doctor… and where's Carly?!" Michael says, Lunch remembering having seen someone run out the door in her drugged state.

"I told you, it was an accident!" Camari says as Sam looked at her with her mouth bleeding.

"How did you mistake me for our crazy ass dad?!" Sam yells.

"What the hell?!" Michael says when he saw Blake, Sam seeing her as well as the others.

"Uncle Michael?" Blake said surprised, before wrapping her arms around him. His arms wrapped around her small body, until he truly realized who it was.

"Wait?" Jade pointed to him. "That's him. The movie lover guy?"

Blake let go of her uncle and she nodded. "Yeah, this is him."

"Have you seen a small girl? 5ft tall, light brown hair, violet eyes, three tattoos?" Michael asks.

"She's in here, Michael." Carter said, opening the door to Carly's hospital room.

"Dad?" Carly says as Michael ran in and the two hugged, Sam and Camari running to the room.

"Holy fuck… they're alive…" Sam says.

"Someone beat her up to a pulp…" Camari says quietly.

Sam jumped as her phone rang and looked at it, seeing Trevor's number before letting it go to voicemail. She and Camari walked in, the others following and Carly looking at Sam as if she was trying to remember her.

"Give yourself some time…" Sam says quietly before looking at Carter. "How the hell did you not die?"

"Long story, Sam." Carter says, Carly leaning over the gurney and throwing up in the trash can from the Narcan shot the doctor gave her, Johnny holding her hair back as Lunch turned to Max.

"Son of a bitch… he drugged her too." Lunch says quietly.

She felt terrible, she helped Carly dress up for the party… and now it had turned into a party from hell.
