Alex POV
In the shower room:
- My back hurts. Hand-to-hand combat is not my thing.
- You are strong enough to be good at the fight but you are lazy and without work there is no reward.
- You are excellent and yet you got a nice punch in the stomach.
- That was an oversight, I thought the fight was already over.
- You never know with that girl. She is very agile but has a complicated personality.
At that moment Dominick approached and pretended he was messing with the locker. He looked pissed and I know why.
- That's true, however she didn't deserve do the push-ups alone. The coach did it to embarrass her.
- And you ,as her savior , went to do with her . How cute. Anya doesn't need you for anything, besides, what was the fucking idea of getting on top of her?
- I can't believe it. Ethan are you seeing the same as me? A dog that can speak.
- So much maturity Alexzander. Let me ask you, does your parents know you are like this? Oh, sorry , they don't cause they are dead...
- How ...
- ... Let me guess, is your need to be the savior of the world connected to the fact that you have not been able to protect your family?
- I WAS ONLY 7 YEARS OLD, I COULDN'T DO ANYTHING.
- Is that what you say to yourself every night? Get away from Anya, I won't repeat the warning.
At a certain point I stopped listening to the conversation. I just relived the moments of horror, over and over again. I looked at Dominick and he looked back with an air of superiority. I couldn't help myself. I advanced towards him to punch his face but the boys who were near grabbed me. It took 3 guys to be able to withstand my anger.
- Take care Alexzander - he left. The coward left. I punch the locker and suddlently I couldn't breathe .The last thing I heard was Ethan asking the boys to leave. I stuck my head on my knees. It was probably a panic attack. I had to control it. I had to control it. I had to control it. But I couldn't do it. Ethan said a few things but I couldn't understand it. Tears came down. That day will always be in my memory. Every bomb, every scream, every face... I have no idea how much time had passed . My body was exhausted.
- Calmer?
- I'm going to kill that bastard.
- I help you hide the body, don't worry. Now go wash your face.
That's exactly what I do. In the mirror I see the reflection of a boy full of insecurities.
- I didn't know you've been through so much, but I'm here for everything. We don't know very well each other but I want to see you in good condition.
- Thank you - I hug him - for staying with me.
- I would never abandon someone who was having a panic attack. Now pull yourself together and let's put an end to him.
It was a promise.
