Flash back , California, San Francisco

8 years ago ... Halloween 2011

I put on my Halloween costume , this year I'll be Chuckys bride, my best friend Rosalie will be Chucky, but hotter. Rosalie has been my best friend since we were 6, we're still here 10 years later as strong as ever.

" Hey don't forget to put on some lipstick", Rosalie hands me a dark matte lipstick. " Oh- no, Rosalie, I can't wear this!! My parents will kill me", I refuse it. " Take it, your parents are on a trip. How will they know?" I giggle.

" Okay I'll wear it!" I snatch it from her hand and apply the dark burgundy lipstick.

" Oh god, boys will be all over you! Maybe tonight you'll finally stop being a virgin", she gently pushes me with her shoulder. I laugh, "I'm barely 16", I turn around to look at her.

" I lost it when I was 14", she throws her head back laughing. I tiredly sigh. " Let's get going to the party", I grab my bag.

At the party.

Somewhere else in the party-

" Look who just walked in right now", Melo glances at the door.

"Joanne Sullivan she's- whew. I heard she's a virgin", one of the boys say.

" How much do you bet I'll hit that tonight?" Melo adds on. they all look at him with a smirk on their face. " 200! There's no way you'll get any", Melo takes on the bet setting his eyes on Joanne.

Back to Joanne-

I walk in the house party, the music is so loud it makes my ear ring. I try to cover up my ears but I feel the vibrations of the music in my whole body. " Don't be such a buzzkill Joanne! Listen to the music!!" Rosalie yells out in my ear. I jump. "Let's go get some drinks!" She grabs me by the arm and pulls me over to the drink stand.

" How are you liking it?" She asks. " It's alright, pretty loud in here though", I take a sip of my drink. " Don't drink too much!" Rosalie smacks my shoulder gently. " Oo I'll be right back", Rosalie runs off with her drink.

I stand there alone like a dumbass drinking by myself , then I see Melo , one of the cutest boys in my school approaches me. I fix my hair up really quick and act like I'm busy refilling my cup. " Let me get that for you", he takes my cup and refills it for me. " Joanne Sullivan", I say , he takes a sip from his cup and bites his lip. " I know who you are", he reaches over to hand me my cup and his hand grazes against my skin, I blush.

" You do?" I nervously drink from my cup. " It's kind of hard to forget a face like yours", he stares into my eyes. I giggle like a school girl.

" So, Joanne, why were you standing here alone? Did your boyfriend leave you by yourself", he leans closer to me. I nervously sigh. I try to catch my breath but he notices and quietly chuckles.

" I don't have a boyfriend , my friend went somewhere", he reaches for my hand and kisses it. " Do you want to go somewhere?" He asks. I blush. " Y-yeah sure", I nervously stutter.

He takes my hand and takes me to some room upstairs. We sit down and talk for a bit. " So, Joanne, have you ever been with anyone?" He tucks my hair behind my ear. " I haven't, ever." I look down away from his gaze. " You know I've always thought you were so gorgeous", He picks my chin up with his finger and stares into my eyes. I look down at his lips and he kisses me gently.

He pushes me back on the bed getting on top of me. " Wait, I'm a virgin", I look up at him and he smiles. He continues kissing me and presses against my body making me feel him.

He reaches for my dress zipper and pulls it down along with my dress, fiddling with my breasts. I take his hand and stop him. " Wait stop", he looks up at me and kisses me. I start to feel weak and groggy, my vision becomes blurry. I try to make him stop but it's so hard, I feel glued to the bed.

" Melo stop, no-

" Joanne don't act hard to get , I know you want me", I shake my head. " No, please get off me", I feel a pressure , it hurts. I immediately get scared. " No no please stop", I cry out.

I try pushing him off me but he pins me down. " I thought that drink was gonna help you out", he stops and stares at me, his eyes dark. I try to push him off me again but he keeps going, at this point I'm in pain. I start crying , " Please stop, I don't want this", I yell out.

For a moment everything goes black, I stop feeling the pain. I hear yelling and muffling but I can't see anything. Then I hear a voice, it's not Melo, it's someone else. I get scared. Really scared. " Hey wake up", I feel someone shake my body attempting to make me regain consciousness. I try to open my eyes but they feel glued shut.

" Fuck, what happened to you?" A strong voice- sounds like a guy. I feel the guy adjust my dress on and gently tap my face in order for i to regain consciousness.

I open my eyes and see him , the boy who would change my life. I look up at him, his hair is messy and I feel mesmerized by his crystal hazel eyes. " Oh my god, you're awake", I stare at him in disbelief, I feel my face get hot in embarrassment. I suddenly start crying and try to look away from this stranger. I look over and the floor is splattered with drops of blood. I sigh, almost relieved.

" Hey you're okay now, I'm Sebastian", he rubs my back in attempt to make me feel better.

"Joanne", my voice faints.

" Joanne let's get you home okay? You're not safe here, this piece of shit tried to take advantage of you", my breathing quickens hearing those last few words.

"He raped me", I look down at my legs. The floor looks wiggly and blurry.

" I think he drugged me", I say with a soft tone to my voice, careful to not burst out into tears.

" Joanne- I'm so sorry, I came in, I saw what was going on , I tried to help I'm sorry", this sweet stranger says , his voice cracks.

" No , no it's not your faul-

I stop mid sentence before letting myself completely crumble into tears in front of him.

" Let me get you home", he offers.

" I can't, I'll be alone, and I'm just really shaken up", he sighs. " Hey you can trust me right?" I look over at him, his eyes full of sincerity, I nod. " You can stay at my house tonight , my mom is there , you don't have to worry about anything, you can trust me", he takes my hand in comfort. " Are you sure? You barley know me", I reassure him.

" It's okay, I want you to feel safe. I know what just happened is very traumatizing", I look down ashamed.
" Come on", he takes my arm and throws it over his shoulder helping me stand up and walks me down stairs. We head over to his car and the whole drive to his house is silent. I shut my eyes and snooze off for a bit.

That's how I lost my innocence as a 16 year old.

- Sebastian's -

" You can stay here in my room , I'll sleep on the couch", he hands me some shorts and a big t-shirt. " Feel free to wear this , so you'll be comfortable", he reassures me. " I don't know why you're doing this, but- thank you", I look up at him , my voice shaky.

" Anytime, Joanne".
