(Y/N) POV

It was late one night and I was walking back from Medda's. I occasionally will sing there for tips. Tonight was especially busy, and Medda had me sing quite a bit. My throat was sore from all the singing and I was about ready to pass out from exhaustion. I just wanted to get to the Lodging House and go to sleep. Of course, the universe was pitted against me: Oscar and Morris decided tonight was the perfect night to pick on me. They walked out from an alleyway close to the theatre. I saw them immediately. I began to run, but I knew my legs wouldn't support me for much longer. A few feet ahead of me, I glimpsed Skittery and Bumlets selling papes at the street corner. And, because nothing is working for my good today, the sidewalk was too crowded for me to reach them.

"Skitts! Bumlets!"I yelled, desperately wishing for my hoarse voice to not give out on me, "SKITTERY! BUMLETS!" I frantically tried to get their attention. They looked my way, but Morris roughly grabbed my arm and yanked me into an empty side street.

"Well, dollface, you sure gave us a chase," Oscar cackled, "but its time we had our fun with you." I squirmed in Morris' grasp, desperately trying to free myself. Morris shoved me against a wall and began kissing me, his hands roaming all over my body. He reached for my shirt and began to unbutton it. I thought I was gonna be screwed, literally. Just then, I heard a shout. I turned my head to see Skittery punch Oscar in the face. I heard a crack and saw blood flow from his nose, which was now broken. He immediately clasped his hands over his nose. The commotion startled Morris long enough for me to free myself from his grasp. 

"You whore!" Morris spat, bringing out his brass knuckles.

"Hey!" Morris wheeled around to come face-to-face with Bumlets, "Never call a girl that!" Bumlets punched Morris across the face. Morris dropped his brass knuckes and I picked them up. Morris stood and landed a few hits on Bumlets, but I grabbed the Delancy's arm. He turned and I kicked him where the sun doesn't shine. Morris doubled over in pain. The brothers knew they had been defeated and they ran off.

"You'se ok, (Y/N)?" Bumlets asked. I nodded, my voice too hoarse to say anything. I began to wobble as my legs needed a reprieve from standing so long. Bumlets caught me before I fell. He picked me up bridal style. "I need to get (Y/N) back to the Lodging House. Can you finish sellin' da papes?" he asked Skittery. Skittery nodded, and Bumlets began to carry me back to the Lodging House. I fell asleep in his arms.
