A New Beginning

Chapter 14

        I saw a boy holding Deborah's hand. I couldn't see his face but all I knew was that he was my savior. The boy threw Deborah's hand away and  turned to face me. He was a very handsome boy. "What are you doing Nicholas?". Parker asked. That was the first time I've heard him speak. He had a deep voice. The other boy's name was Nicholas.
     "I'm doing what's right". Nicholas said with a determined tone. I've see him before. Now I remember. Nicholas was one of the boys I saw with Parker that day at the football pitch. I think they're good friends." Don't get involved ". Parker said through gritted teeths." And what if I do". Nicholas said with determination in his voice." Let's go". Parker said as he let go of my hand. He was about to leave with Deborah and her minions trailing after him until he was stopped midway by Nicholas." I hope as you leave now you'll leave this girl alone. I don't want to see you harassing her again. What you've done already is enough". Nicholas said as he turned to look at Parker." Fine. She's not even worth my time". Parker said angrily and left.
       Nicholas turned to face me and carried my hand and looked at it. It made me wince pain. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to hurt you. He must have  gripped your hands very tightly. Don't worry there's a First Aid box here and I know where it is". Nocholas said and marched his way to one of the cupboards, to pick the First Aid box.
       He picked the First Aid box and approached me." Let me dress your wound. Let's go to the kitchen stools". Nicholas said as he walked me to the kitchen counter. We sat down on the stools and he applied ointment on my hands. It made me wince in pain." I'm sorry". He said." There all done". He said when he was done." Thank you". I finally said.
       "No need. Afterall my friend did this to you. It's the least I can do". He said. I was surprised with the fact that they were friends and they were complete opposites." You look surprised. Well just because we're friends that doesn't mean I'm like him". He said. He pointed at the door and said" well I better get going now. Bye". He said and started approaching the door." Bye and thank you once again". I said. He just turned and smiled at me,then left the kitchen. I looked at my hands and smiled.
