Im still waiting for my AOS and work permit. It only 2 months since I filed. If our marriage don't work out and I'm still waiting for my AOS what will happen to me?  What if he filed a divorce or abandoned me, what will happen in my immigration process"? Can I still stay here in US?

As @Mike E indicates you have options to adjust your status as a K1 without the help of your spouse as long as the affidavit of support is in place.  You will not need to file for VAWA which takes 3 years to adjudicate. Get assistance from an immigration lawyer to help with Matter Sesay legal prescience for k1 visa holders at the AOS interview. If needed you can file a VAWA later, but you won't need to if AOS goes through which it can.

Sorry this happened to you. 
 

Adjustment  from K-1 has an odd quirk that can work in your favor. You can divorce now and still adjust status through him provided he doesn’t withdraw I-864.
