Chapter 2
No one spoke. Their eyes kept on flashing from my tear streaked face to the burn and back again.
Lastly I glimpse up at Chris.
He's gone ashy faced and the hand on my shoulder had clenched into a fist.
"Dad did this to go?" He whispered, his eyes were ablaze with this fire which frightened the hell out of me.
All I do is nod. Now why did I do that? I really don't have and excuse I guess I'm too tired to try and trick him.
Unexpectedly, Chris gets up and instantly I knew he was about to make the biggest mistake of his life.
Flying out of my huddled position I manage to tackle Chris's legs, making him fall to the ground and even though it caused me so much pain I still try and wrestle him to lie down.
Unfortunately for me, I wasn't as strong as Chris and I was in no condition to fight.
"Help me!" I yell to the guys who rush forward and pin Chris to the ground.
"I'm gonna make him pay!" Chris yelled angrily.
"No, no, nonononono! No!" I say loudly as I worm my way on to Chris and hold down his chest.
Feeling his quick heartbeat and heavy breathing, I look down at the boy who was willing to fight my dad, just for me.
"Don't do it Chris." I say softly as I hoist myself up. I give a small cry of pain as my back bends awkwardly.
The pain just being too much, my vision blurs and my head swims as I black out.
