Chapter 1

'Finally' Thomas thought to himself. It was finally time for him to go home and it was needless to say that he was tired. Exams were driving him mad and his friends were also contributing to his tiredness since they love throwing parties. But the end of the school year was here, and it couldn't have come fast enough.

Thomas walked along the gravel road to his apartment, trying to get his key out I'm the process when a loud noise stops him in his tracks.
What could that be? Thomas didn't want to stick around and find out so he walks along faster to his apartment, unlocking the door and going inside.

He threw his backpack onto the floor and let out a loud sigh. Before he could do anything his phone beeped, indicating that a message had been received.

Minho: Ayyyyy so u down for tonight?
Thomas: tonight?
Minho: yeah, the party at my place! Don't tell me you forgot!

Thomas let out a frustrated groan, he had forgotten and now he felt terrible.

Thomas: what time was it again??
Minho: 6-late
Thomas: ok I'll be there
Minho: you better be you shank
Thomas: I will be

Thomas locked his phone and walked over to the charger to plug it in. Now he couldn't go to sleep like he had hoped. Great.

He looked at the clock to see that it was already 5:00pm. Wow that went really fast.
Thomas decided that having a shower would be the best thing to do so that's what he sets his mind to do.

After spending 15 minutes trying to figure out what to wear, he finally settles on a pair of black jeans and a white plain tshirt. Grabbing his phone off the charger, he sets out to get to the party which he is internally hoping that somehow gets cancelled.

It didn't.

Thomas walks up to Minhos house to see that it was flooded with people. Thomas closes his eyes for a second. In hailing deeply before stepping out if the car and towards the mess of people everywhere.

It was obvious that Minho didn't even know half these people, but his parties are always the biggest and loudest ones and for that you need a hell of a lot of people and Minho never disappoints.

Thomas sets out to find at least one person that he actually knows when a familiar voice causes him to turn around.
"Thomaass, yoooo man you camme" slurred an obviously drunk Minho. Thomas per out a small laugh at his friend.
"Uh yeah, look I don't think I'll be staying for too long-"
"I can't hear youuuu" Minho yells over the music which made it almost impossible to hear anything. With that Minho turned around to walk away, grabbing another bottle of alcohol in the process.

Once the click hit 11:30pm, Thomas was ready to leave. He had only had one drink and just really wanted to go to sleep.
Without telling anyone, he made his way to the front door and slipped outside.
He silently cursed himself for not bringing a jacket since it has gotten cold outside but he made his way to his apartment anyway.

The cold wind made him shiver and he put his hands in his pockets in hopes to provide them some sort of warmth. He continued to walk down the streets when a loud bang, like someone falling into a metal trash can, made him jump. Thomas could feel his heart start to pump harder as the adrenaline started to kick in, but what he heard after that made him curious.

Small whimpers.

It sounded like it was coming from the direction of the loud bang. Thomas began walking towards it but stopped suddenly.
'Wait a second' he thought to himself. He didn't want to walk into some murder scene and end up getting killed himself. 'Maybe I shouldn't go near-'
Another whimper cut him from his thoughts, this one was a little louder but sounded like it was a bit muffled.

Thomas fought with himself but eventually decided on just having a look, what's the worst that could happen? Apart from death of course but that's not the point.

He slowly made his way towards the sound, stepping ever so lightly so that if he needed to run he could.
He looked into the darkness behind his apartment that the noise had come from.
"Hello?" He whispered, no response.
"Is someone there? I could hear whimpers and I was just wondering if you were ok?" It came out more of a question than a statement, but there was still no answer. Thomas took out his phone and shone the torch towards the darkness and froze.

What he saw almost made him scream but he held himself together.

Two men were pinning down someone, one had a hand over his or her mouth whilst the other one was 'touching' them. The one being pinned down was weakly trying to escape, but their strength wasn't much compared to the two men pinning them down.

Thomas shone the torch into the three people and saw that the one being pinned down was a boy.

"Kid, I'd leave right now if you know what's good for ya" one of the men said, surprisingly calm. He gripped into the younger boys mouth and pressed harder as he continued to let out small whimpers. The other man pressed down on the bottom of the boys stomach causing him to let out a high pitched whine as he continues to abuse him.

Thomas didn't know what to do. He was frozen, but he knew that he couldn't just leave this boy here.

"What do you want? I'll give you money in exchange for him just please stop hurting him" Thomas managed to say. The man who was abusing the boy stood up, walking towards Thomas whilst the other still had a hand firmly on the boys mouth.

"This ain't a market place where you can just trade shit" the man spat. Thomas saw that he was tall, well built and had brown hair slicked into a ponytail. He has hard features, dark brown eyes and a fat nose. He was missing some of his teeth which made him spit whilst speaking.

"How much you willing to give us for that trash" he spat, pointing to the half naked boy on the floor who was left only in a pair of torn up grey sweatpants.
"Look, I've got $170, I'll give you it right now" Thomas said, trying his best to stay calm whist everything else was screaming for him to get up and run.
