My head pounds from the amount of alcohol in my system. I can't even tell you how many shots I have taken.

Good Girls from 5 seconds of summer plays and I manage to stand. I swing my hips to the beat and run my fingers through my hair.

A man sits across the bar, his stare burning into me, but I'm too drunk to care. The man stands from his chair and I immediately shrink back. The man has to be over 6'7 with wrestling muscles, tattoo sleeves cover his arms. A dog tag necklace hangs from his neck, and a muscle shirt is the only thing covering most if his giant chest, ripped jeans hang from his hips. His eyes don't break from my body as I continue to dance. A giant hand goes to his bald head as he rubs it.

I turn away from him, thinking he's just gonna turn away and go back to the hard liquor sitting in front of him.

A song that I don't know plays through the speakers and I continue to swing my hips to the beat and suddenly I feel a ruff, giant hand on my side, going up under my shirt, then another one, a smaller, smoother hand on the outside of my thigh, sliding up my skirt

"Don't you think she's a good one, Dave?" asks a smaller, but still scary voice,something about it sounds familiar,  from my left.

"Yes I do, Percy" responds the deeper voice to my left. At that moment I'm lifted off my feet and over the big man's shoulder. I scream and pound his muscled back but I doubt he can even feel it. Dave carries me out of some door to the alley next to the building. He sets me down ruffly and I manage to drunkenly catch my balance on my heels. I look up at Dave and its the man from the bar. I step back enough to where I the brick wall behind me. I swallow hard at the sight of this man, then my eyes settle on the smaller man next to him. Something about him looks so familiar. He speaks again but I don't hear him.

"Ezra?" I softly question and he jerks his eyes to me.

"No. Its Percy." He responds but Dave just steps to me. I swallow hard again and his ruff hand goes directly to my throat. All air is cut off from me and I try to scream.  His grip gets tighter as he leans closer to my ear.

"Just relax. It will be over before you know it." he whispers then nothing.

~~~~~

"You fucking piece of bullshit!" I hear a voice scream. "How dare you touch her!" then I hear a gun shot, then another.  I weakly open my eyes and cold air blows over me and I shiver. I look down at my torn shirt, exposing my bra and stomach, then my skirt is halfway to my chest and my underwear is still on my body.

There's three more gun shots then heavy running footsteps. Arms wrap around my body and I'm being carried. I look up at the man but I can't make out an image. I'm placed in the backseat of a car, then the smell of Luke's colone hits me.

"Baby Doll?" he asks as I start to open my eyes more and when I see its him I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him into an endless hug. I break down into tears and he fixes my skirt and takes off his shirt, and puts it over my ripped one. "Please tell me you are alright." he begs and I look down at his leg, blood is pouring out of it.

"I'm fine but Luke, your leg." I point out and he quietly cusses. "You need help" I say and he just shakes his head. "Lee will help you! he has my cell phone."

"Liz. That's not the only place where he shot me..." he drifts off and before he can tell me, he falls to the pavement. I panic and get down to him.

"Luke!" I scream "don't you dare die on me!" I cry and bury my face in his still moving chest. The side door to the bar opens and Lee comes running out. "I love you" I manage to say as I cry. Lee runs over to me and pulls out his phone calling 911.

When the ambulance arrives I'm pulled away from Luke, by Lee and held back. Lee holds me against him and I sob into his chest.

This is all my fault.

~~~~~~~

I pace back and forth in the waiting room of the hospital after the nurses tested me for rape. Turns out Luke was just in time.

I'm drinking coffee like its my job and I am starting to feel a little better. Luke is in a critical condition so only family can see him. Claire runs in and pulls me into a hug.

"How is he?" she asks and I can tell she's been crying. I just shrug.

"They won't let me back there. Family only." I respond, still crying some. She wipes away the stray tear on my cheek and tells me that she'll go see him and keep me updated.

Tommy sits down in one of the chairs and I sit down next to him.

"We will get through this,Lizzy" he says."yes we will." he continues.
