Chapter 3

“I don’t want your fucking charity,” he said, snarling like a bear.

I sighed internally. “It’s not charity, man, it’s common sense. You could be bleeding internally, or even have a broken rib or two. You might even need stitches, and even if you’ve got a car or whatever, you’re in no shape to drive. So, what’ll it be?”

Thorn sneered, and I’d never seen anything sadder in my life in someone so young. “What, you think you’ll be my fucking knight in shining armor and I’ll ride your big black cock in gratitude? Fuck off.” Yup, lot of anger there. And fear.

I stood and held up my hands. “You’re scared and hurting. I get that. I used to be like you, and I know what you’re going through, is all I’m saying. If you don’t want to go with me, can you at least call someone to take you?”

The look of shame and despair was fleeting, but I’d seen it. “I can take care of myself just fine,” he retorted, but his voice didn’t have the same heat as before.
