Tommy was waiting by the dumpsters behind the school. Brett hadn't made it yet. Tommy didn't know if he really wanted this or not. What was he going to do? Sure, he was popular. But a different type of popular than Brett was.
Tommy made out a figure coming towards him. Brett!
A minute later, Tommy was face to face with his opponent. Tommy was having second thoughts, but then his mind raced back to what he did to Lil. There was no turning back now.
"What's up, buddy?" Brett asked, not really seeming to care.
All of a sudden, Tommy's arm shot out in front of him and closed around Brett's neck. He spun him around and slammed him up against the dumpster.
"What the hell is your problem, you sick bastard?" Tommy hissed.
Brett's eyes were full of terror. Tommy had his grip tight around Brett's neck. Any tighter and he could have killed him if he wanted to.
"Do you seek pleasure when you go around raping teenage girls? Or was Lil the only one?"
Tommy slammed him harder against the dumpster.
"Huh? I asked you a question, dammit!"
Brett had just enough strength to take his hands and pry Tommy's grip away from his neck. Once he was free of the physical attachment, Brett collapsed on the ground. He sat there gasping for breath, while Tommy stood over him.
Once Brett had fully gained both his breath and his strength back, he stood up. He wasn't taller than Tommy. They were about the same height, so Tommy wasn't too intimidated.
Brett stood eye to eye from Tommy. His eyes were full of hate.
"I didn't do anything to her that she didn't already have coming." He laughed. "Besides, I saved her."
"From what?" Tommy snapped.
"From the streets. That girl would have been selling herself in no time. She wanted it. I could tell. The look in her eyes said it all. She wanted me to do it..."
Tommy slugged Brett in his mouth. Brett slugged him right back in the same place. Tommy reached his finger to the corner of his lip. He was bleeding. Tommy saw Brett try and take anther hit. Unfortunately, Tommy didn't see it in time and he got it right on the eye.
"Hey!" A security guard shouted as he ran over. "Break it up!"
The boys were pulled apart and reprimanded.
"Go home, you two. And don't think about coming back here to start any trouble."
"Don't worry, Tommy. She was good. She struggled a little, but she was good. Nice and tender. You should try her some time. She shouldn't mind too much. Just surprise her, though."
Tommy almost snapped again, but the security guard was still right there.
Tommy headed home and he knew that Lil would never know the trouble that he went through to justify her.
