BEFORE YOU READ IF YOU HAVE TRIGGERS TO R!PE, DR!GS, DE!TH, or F!RE please don't read this part of further on.

In the small town of Remington Dal, the high school students were a big deal. They were the future of the small town. The choir full of the town's singers was beyond exceptional. Fiona, her Junior year, was elected to be the choir leader. Ashlynn raved about her best friend's accomplishment.

"It's because of me you got this!" Ashlynn said running off the bleachers to stand next to Fiona.

Truth be told, Fiona was the best singer in that town, and everyone in the choir knew it. That's why she won. But Fiona let Ashlynn have her fun standing in front of the group, accepting her promotion.

Fiona led the Choir to victory in all competitions. The seniors congratulated the Junior on her awesome solo and though it was their last year, they all voted for her. Today was Junior's bonfire for their win. All grade levels had a separate fire on Friday then on Saturday the big party. Ashlynn would never attend that party. Neither would Fiona nor Jayden.

See, when you hit Junior year Alcohol was snuck there. It was an unspoken rule. Fiona has been to parties with Alcohol but never drank. Something in her this night changed in her. Was it the huge fight with her mother that sent her down this spiral? Fiona walked to the table and slammed three alcoholic beverages in a matter of seconds. Ashlynn, being a social butterfly drank also.

Later in the night Fiona and Ashlynn were having the night of their lives. Fiona held onto Ashlynn's waist dancing to the beat of the music. Ashlynn dangled her arms on her shoulders. Ron snickered at the two teens. Fiona smiled at Ron and waved at him.

Moments the two girls felt dizzy. The heels they wore on the beach weren't helping. Fiona kicked off her heels and put them near the fire. Ashlynn helped Fiona balance. Ashlynn saw Jayden who was arriving late. Ashlynn quickly rushed to him and hung out with him. The couple talked for a moment joking around by the fire.

Ashlynn playfully tugged back from Jayden. Suddenly she slipped back and landed into the fire. There was a painfully loud scream in the air. Jayden rushed to the firepit and reached in there, but kept hitting his arm, burning it. Ashlynn laid in there for a couple of seconds before Fiona stepped up. She reached sleeve covered arm into the pit and grabbed the screaming girl.

"Ron, grab the hose!" She yelled. He quickly grabbed the hose and drenched Ashlynn in the cold water. Jayden quickly laid her across his lap. "Gia! Call 911!" Fiona barked.

Ashlynn was rushed to the hospital that night. Her face was burnt, everything was burnt. As she was lifted into the ambulance she was unconscious. Fiona looked for what Ashlynn tripped over. Her shoes. This was her fault. Ashlynn was dead, right?

"That's not even the worst part," Fiona said to her father. Paul couldn't understand his daughter's strength.

"Take your time, Brat," Paul joked, hoping to make her laugh.

Jayden blamed Fiona for the death of Ashlynn Morris. He went crazy without the love of his life. It had been four months since Ashlynn died. Fiona sat on the beach, looking out at the water. She held herself tightly. Memories of Ashlynn surfaced in her mind.

Jayden knew of Fiona's habit of sitting on the beach. He saw it as an opportunity. To make Fiona disappear and Ashlynn come back. He needed Ashlynn. Everyone needs Ashlynn. Fiona wiped the tears on her cheeks. Jayden approached the small blonde and pressed a blade to her throat.

"Don't move a muscle or I kill you and your mother," Jayden said. Fiona froze completely. She didn't move a muscle. Jayden growled into her ear, "You better listen very closely. You killed Ashlynn, hmm? Now you get to replace her. You're mine, clear? One word to anyone about what you are until you graduate, and I'll kill your mother. Are we clear, Fiona?" Fiona felt the tear glisten down her face. She was aware it was Jayden behind her. She nodded.

Jayden grabbed her shoulders and dragged her into the family bathroom. Fiona whimpered at his large grasp. He locked the door and slammed her against the wall. He snickered as he tucked the knife into his back pocket. Fiona wanted to fight, to run, to escape. She was stuck with fear. Fiona sobbed harder until she noticed the needle coming out of Jaydens pocket.

"Jayden, please don't. I'll do anything but please don't hurt me," She pleaded. Jayden pressed his hands to her neck taking her air away. Jayden held the drugs and needle in between his teeth.

"Quit it with the begging. You're mine!" Jayden screamed tugging the needle sticking it inside her arm.

Fiona yelped and felt the burn of the medication. She cried out as she laid on the floor feeling weak. Jayden grabbed her legs and dragged her to the floor. He yanked her leggings off her frail body. She felt exposed in her shirt and underwear. She tried to fight but physically she couldn't.

She started blinking slowly feeling tired. It was the drugs in her system. She couldn't fight. She wanted to. She needed too. Slowly more clothing disappeared and Jayden was ontop of her, naked. She was naked aswell. She could feel his lips trail down her body. He parted her legs and began to forcefully trust inside her. Fiona cried in pain. The drugs slowly became more in affect as Jayden trusted harder forcing himself in her.

"Welcome back, Ashlynn," Jayden said before everything went black.

Fiona brought her knees to her chest. Tears escaped her eyes but no sound followed. No wailing, nothing. Just tears. That's how ruined she is. Simpily ruined. Paul was angry, beyond angry. He blamed himself for letting her live with Mary.

"Fiona I'm," Paul started but got cut off.

"Don't please," Fiona said. She wiped her tears. "I'm fine, okay? There's no need to apologize."

"No appogies. Clear." Paul said. "Brat." He said. Fiona chuckled and hit his shoulder playfully.
