''So, where's the money you promised us?'' Jay muttered , sliding a cigarette between his thin lips. The rain poured down on the group as Blake started to talk.

''I'm sorry, Jason- I.. I couldn't do it. I can't take money off my own family. It's so wr-''

A hand raised then collided with the pale face. Blake whimpered in pain, rubbing the cheek Jay had hit. ''Don't bullshit me.''

''I'm not !-'' Another hard hit. ''Honestly, I couldn't bring myself to do it.. My mom needs the money for her surgery. I'm not gonna postpone it. She could fucking die!''

''Oh? She must be pretty weak then.'' Jay smirked. The three others behind him laughed. ''Just like her silly little child, eh?''

Blake fell silent, eyes wide as he stared at the concrete. ''Take it back, Jay.''

''Make me, you prick~'' he teased, walking toward him, pushing his shoulder. ''Ah? All quiet now are we? '' he chortled, ''come on. Make me, I said.'' Jason heard nothing, yet again shoving him, but this time, against the wall.

Blake cautiously moved his hands to Jason's sides. ''Jay-!'' One of the taller boys yelled.

Suddenly, Jason yelled out in pain, doubling over. ''Don't say a single word about my mother again. If her name slips through your lips again, I'll kill you.''

Jay looked down. Blakes black acrylics were dug into his sides, drawing blood through the thin white shirt he wore. As soon as Jay had loosened his grip, Blake bolted, grabbing his bag on the way. Crimson dripped from his middle and pointer fingers, running down his wrist. 'Holy fuck.' he thought, his breathing speeding up as the situation replayed in his head. He cursed repeatedly, reaching his house within a few minutes. He fumbled with the keys , sliding through the crack as soon as it opened. ''I'm home, mom-'' he paused, seeing his mother asleep on the couch, with a drink at her side. ''Ah..''

He smiled sadly, crouching down and kissing her forehead. He'd have to go without dinner again, as it seemed his mother had eaten the last packet of noodles. But of course.. He was fine with it. As long as she had food .
