あなた see the huddled body in the corner.

“Johnny?” あなた whisper, before breaking out into a sprint.

A million thoughts raced through your mind as あなた ran into the alley.

“Not again, not again.” あなた think.

He would break for sure this time.

あなた crouched 次 to the huddled body.

“Johnny?” あなた ask, trying not to let the tears fall as あなた shake him gently.

No response at first, but he slowly turns his head toward you.

あなた gasp at the sight of him.

His was eye black, swollen shut. A giant gash was on his cheek.

“Johnny… ” あなた whisper, bringing a hand to his face.

“Hey…” He mutters.

“We gotta get あなた out of here.”
あなた mumble.

“Nah… I ain’t going home. Only makes things worse.”

“No… You’re coming back To my house.” あなた say, trying to remain calm.

“It’ll be easier to leave me here… The boys’ll come get me eventually.” He sputters.

“Johnny… あなた need help.”

He looks あなた dead in the eye. “So do you.”

あなた stop addressing his wounds, and look at him. “What?”

“You need もっと見る help than I do.” He states.

“That’s not true and あなた know it.” あなた mumble, reaching your hand back up to the gash on his forehead.

He grabs your wrist, and あなた wince.

“I told あなた あなた need もっと見る help.” He says sadly, unwrapping his fingers to 表示する your scars.

“Johnny that doesn’t matter.” あなた dismiss it, wiping up the blood from his cheek with a corner of his シャツ あなた had ripped of previously.

“It does. I’d get jumped a thousand times to know あなた weren’t being hurt… または hurting yourself.” He says quietly.

あなた don’t answer, just let the silent tears fall as あなた keep cleaning off blood.

“You can help me, if あなた let me help you.” He says quietly.

All あなた can do is nod.
