chapter two: meeting an ex convict

Christopher's pov

As I woke up my eyes were blurry ,I couldn't see properly but I could only hear ,when I heard someone coming in i pretended to be asleep and not move,it was as if the person was taking care of me ,the moment the Person left i immediately stood up and decided to run before anyone caught me ,as i stepped out the door ,just as i was about to make a run for it someone held my hand "shit i'm busted"i thought ,then i heard a feminine voice ,a woman a little bit older than me holding a bowl of hot water said "don't leave you haven't full recovered"she said ,when I was about to take her hands off someone then spoke in a cold voice "so you are awake " when I looked back it was the same man I saw when I was about to pass out , he stood there not showing any emotion and told the qoman to let go of my hand"let him be ,if he wants to go let him be i won't stop him but you have two options either you go and get beaten up till death or you stay and recover your choice " thinking of his options I decided to stay back after all I was weak and won't be able to defend myself,he then smiled an unnoticable smile but which i saw "you know you should be grateful to me"the man's cold voice came through,while the woman was treating me ,he sat ob the sofa close to me "i don't understand "i said confused,then the womans voice came through "he was the one who said you if not you would have been dead by now ,trust me they were going to kill yoy especially about the fact you stabbed one of their members ,youwould have been if not for him " i looked in suprised and immediately showed my gratitude"thank you ,but why " I asked ,he behaving as if he didn't understand, then asked "why what" ,then i asked again "why save me" ,then he immediately signaled the woman to leave, the moment she left ,he then said "when you were about to die i was expecting you to have just given up and accepted your fate but noyou decided to fight back ,for a boy your size i didn't expect it but it was true ,so i decided to save " he stated ,unsure ofwhat he said I decided to ask"so if i hadn't stood up for myself I would have been dead by now " ,"yes pretty much i don't likelazypeople who just let death cime take them away but instead fight till the very end"he stated which made me understand but still sent shivers to my spine ,"sorry to ask but are you some kind of a trusted person for them to let me go so easily " looking down I asked ,"yes ,butvwhy am i answering you should know the answer by now I'm not just trusted but I own this place "he blurted not caring wether anyone heard or not.

"So how old are you " he asked me,"I'm 17yrs old "" wow such a big boy but you don't look like a seventeen years old boy instead you look like a twenty yrs old man" he said with a smile on his face though it was obvious that he was joking with me " yeh I know you don't have to rob it in" I said obviously not happy ,he might be old enough to be my big brother but that doesn't mean he can treat me like this "if you are expecting an apology then keep dreaming " he said still smiling,then suddenly he asked " what's your name " me looking suprised and didn't expect him ti ask me such "why asking"i questioned him not looking scared the slightest "answer me , what's your name"he said in a more commanding tone "Christopher and yours" I asked back though not expecting an answer "Kevin" he said ,wow that's a supprise ,"you've got a nice name though Christopher" he complimented me "thank you mr kevin " i said
