It was Friday and Brooklyn checked the time on her laptop, school was almost over, she looked at her phone and noticed she had a few text messages, she didn't bother reading them, she just deleted them, she scrolled through her Facebook, seeing nothing knew she was about to close her laptop but a news article.

Brooklyn stared in shock, she knew exactly who done this, she was about to pick up her phone and call Matt but she was interrupted, a knock came from her door "Brook, can I come in?" It was her brother, her voice hitched in her throat, she closed the lid on her laptop and sat up in her bed.

"Yeah, sure" She said in a soft voice, her brother slowly opened the door and then walked in, sitting on the edge of her bed "What's wrong?" She asked but she already knew.

"I'm so sorry, but.. Chase is dead" Her brother looked up to her and she stared at him in shock "Jesus, Brookie, I'm sorry" He said patting her leg before walking out of her room, she jumped up from her bed and locked her door.

She grabbed her phone from the bed and quickly brought up Matt's number and calling him, "Pick up" Brooklyn mumbled to herself, pacing back and forth, the phone rang out, "Fuck" She said, trying to call him again, but still no answer.

Brooklyn sat on her bed, and opened up her laptop again, she noticed that Jimmy was online and she sent him a quick message.

Jimmy, what the fuck happened, tell Matt to call me.

She waited impatiently, she looked at the screen and saw that Jimmy had went offline, she swore under her breath and shut the laptop over once again, she didn't bother changing out of the clothes she had slept in, she slipped on her shoes and ran downstairs, she glanced out the window, her brothers car was gone and it was replaced with a police car, she slipped off her shoes and opened the door, two male coppers walking up the pathway.

"Miss Reed?" The taller one said, she nodded her head slowly, the police officers were now standing in front of her "May we come in?" Again she nodded her head, she stepped aside letting the two police officers enter the house.

"Where's your parents?" The shorted one asked looking around, Brooklyn took a seat across from the two officers and quietly answered them "Work, they won't be back home until late" the officers nodded their heads.

"It's regarding your boyfriend, we must ask you where you were between the hours of ten last night and three early hours this morning" One police officer had a pen and note pad, waiting for her to answer, she let a tear slip down her face.

"I.. I was at home, in my room, I haven't been out the house in two days" She said, her voice cracking, letting another tear slip down her cheek, she hoped Matt wouldn't get caught for this.

The police officer jotted down what she was saying and then they both thanked her for her time, they seen themselves out, leaving Brooklyn in the living room herself, once she was sure that they were gone she put her shoes on again, and grabbed her car keys, before she could open the door a knock came from it, she opened it up revealing Matt and his friends, she couldn't say or do anything, they already barged there way in.

"Why were the police here?" Matt asked, nervously looking out of the curtains in the living room "Brooklyn, why were they here?" he asked again, turning his attention directly at Brooklyn, she was looking everywhere but Matt's eyes.

"They were asking where I was last night, this morning" She could feel everyone's eyes burning holes in her body, "And what did you say?" Matt asked her taking a step closer.

"I told them the truth, Matt, I told them that I was in the house, that I was sleeping, in my room, what did you do?" Now it was Brooklyn's turn to ask questions. Matt stared at her dead in the eye.

"You can't fucking tell anyone" He said, she was shocked, she was hoping that she had been wrong but Matt just confirmed what he had done. "We covered our tracks, they won't find out it was us, I.. We just need you to be quiet about all of this" Brooklyn nodded her head and looked at the guys standing around her, they all looked nervous, Johnny most of all, he looked a state.

"I.. How.. Why did you do it?" Brooklyn looked at each of the guys but no one answered her, Johnny stared at her with intent eyes.

"He raped you, Brook, him and his friends, and trust me, they will be next" The guys agreed with him, Brooklyn looked down at the ground, she was involved in this, if anyone found out she would go to prison, for life, she started to have a small panic attack.

"What if they find out, you'll all go to prison, I'll go to prison" She shouted at them, Matt walking over to her and placed both of his hands on her shoulders, hushing her "Brooklyn, no one will find out, I promise" Matt gave he a reassuring smile, "You just can't go back to school next week, okay?" Brooklyn nodded her head, agreeing with what he was saying.

"We'll get the other two as soon as we can, this won't blow over quick but we will get them, until then, we will protect you, we will keep you safe" Brooklyn nodded her head and stared at the guys.

"Thank you" Brooklyn trusted them, trusted that they will keep her safe, and she was sure that they would catch her rapists and kill them.
