            Everything is perfect. He doesn't think that anything could ruin his day. However he couldn't be more wrong. As he walks down the hallway of the mall, in order to go to the restrooms. Someone covers his mouth before harshly pulling him back towards the emergency exit doors.

            Signals of danger fill his head as he try's to struggle and get free of the persons grasps. It only results in him getting harshly slammed into the wall. He ends up hitting his head on the wall, causing him to cry out in pain. When he looks up to see the person, his eyes widen as terror fills him. It's Aek.

          " Come with me " Aek harshly says. He shakes his head no before he continues to try and get free. Aek harshly punches him in his stomach. He whimpers from the amount of pain he's in. " You don't want to come with me. That's fine. We can just do it right here then " Aek says harshly. He immediately knows what's about to happen, only make him struggle more.

           Aek holds him against the wall, using his body. While he covers his mouth with his hand. He is unable to get Aek away from him as he starts to kiss his neck. The familiar disgust immediately fills him. He needs to do something to get away. Anything.

            He raises his leg before harshly kicking Aek. It hardly does anything, only making Aek even angrier. Aek slaps him harshly. " Don't try that shit again " Aek says before he leans in and starts to kiss him on the lips. The whole situation causes him to start crying.

            He doesn't think it can get any worse but he's wrong. Aek starts to drag his hands all over his body. He wants to throw up. He wants Max. He just wants this to end but it continues and only gets worse the longer it happens.

            Aek slips his hand under his hoodie and shirt, touching his bare chest and stomach. It leaves a cold chill wherever he touches. Far different then what happens when Max does it. He goes to struggle again but freezes when Aek starts to touch him in places he doesn't want anyone to touch him.

            Aek drags his hand all the way to his jeans. He knows what's about to happen and his body kicks into autopilot as he struggles the hardest he's ever struggled. Just as Aek is about to put his hand in his pants he hears someone shout " Hey! What are you doing to him ".

            Aek immediately stops what he's doing and whispers " If you tell anyone what just happened or that it was me then I will do worse then this before handing you over to Kit, understood ". Terrified, he nods his head. Not even a seconds later he's slammed into the wall, making him hit his head once again. While Aek quickly rushes out of the emergency doors, making an alarm go off.

            Once Aek is gone, his legs give in and he falls to the ground. His whole body is shaking in fear from what just happened. " Young boy, are you alright " the person from earlier asks, gently grabbing his shoulder. He quickly moves away from the unknown man.

            He doesn't want anyone to touch him. The only one he will let touch him is Max. He just wants Max here with him. " Nat " he hears a familiar voice say. He looks up to see Poppy walking towards him. " S-stop " he manages to shout. Poppy is quick to listen to him.

            " What's going on here, I heard the emergency door alarm go off " he hears someone say. " Ah, yes. I found this boy getting sexually harassed by another boy of the same age. The boy ran out through the emergency doors " says the unknown man.

            His fear only increases the more they talk about what just happened. He looks up to Poppy before looking at the security guard, quickly recognizing her as NuNew's mother. " Nat " NuNew's mother says gently. " Let's get you to my office. I'll call your mom. I can call NuNew as well " NuNew's mother says.m

            " I-I want P'Max. I-I need him " he quietly says as he continues to cry. " I'll go find him Nat. Stay right there " Poppy says before rushing off. He wraps his arms around himself, trying to bring himself any sort of comfort that he can.

           Only a few minutes later he hears Max's familiar voice shout " Nat ". He looks up to see Max running towards him. " P'Max " he cries out as he forces himself to stand up. He stumbles over to Max. He's instantly pulled into a warm and tight hug by Max.

            Only when Max is hugging him tightly does he completely break down as he realizes everything that's just happened to him. " Shhh... it's ok, I'm here now baby. No one can hurt you anymore " Max quietly whispers to him. " I'm assuming you both are his friends, I'm NuNew's mother. If we take him into the security office then I can call his mother as well as NuNew " she says.

            " Hear that, let's get you into the security office ok " Max gently says. He hesitantly nods his head. NuNew's mother has everyone including the unknown man follow her to the security office. Once inside he sits down in the corner of the room. While NuNew's mother talks with the man.

            Once NuNew's mother is done talking with the man, he hears her on the phone with the police. It scares him. He can't tell them what happened or who did it. If he does then Aek will. He will. " Nat, baby " Max gently says, pulling him from his thoughts.

           " Everything's going to be ok " Max says to him gently. He just looks down at his hands, watching them as they shake. " Alright, I've called your mother as well as NuNew, Nat. They are on their way here " NuNew's mother says as she sets a chair down in front of him before sitting down on it.

            " Can you tell me what happened " she asks him gently. He bites his lip as he remembers Aek's threat. He quickly shakes his head no. He's scared. He can't tell them. " Why won't you tell us what happened " Poppy asks him. " There's security footage of the whole thing Nat. We just want to hear your side of the story " NuNew's mother says.

            He starts to cry again as he's told about the security footage. They're going to figure it out. Aek is going to get him. He's going to do worse to him. He doesn't want that to happen. He doesn't want it to. " They threatened you. Didn't they " Max says, causing him to freeze.

            " I can't tell you. I can't. I can't do it " he says quickly as he cries. " What did they threaten you with " NuNew's mother asked him gently. His hands start to shake again as he thinks more about the threat. " H-He said he'd do worse. H-He said he'd hand me " he pauses. He can't say the rest or they will figure it out.

            " I want to cash in my wish " Max says gently. He turns to look at him. He shakes his head no. " No. please. Please don't " he begs. " Who did this to you " Max asks gently. He quickly looks back down at his hands. " I-I " he stutters.

            Max gently grabs his shaking hands. " If we know who did this to you then we can protect you from them " Max says. " A-Aek " he says in an almost inaudible voice. Max is able to hear him though. " Aek made you like this " Max says.
