Light droplets of rain began falling from the sky as Hawt trudges down the sidewalk. It was quite the walk home, considering it was going to get dark soon, and it was raining. Deciding to take a shortcut so he could get back faster. He took a turn down into an alley way, walking faster than usual so he could get out of the alley quickly.

Arms came under his armpits, and hands covered his mouth suddenly, and he was pulled back behind a dumpster. He was dropped, and he looked up to see a man with short light brown hair, wearing a rather large black coat. The man looked down at him with a smirk. "Hey kid, wanna' buy some drugs?" Hawt sat up and scrambled back. "Wh-what? Who even are you?" The man laughed, leaning on the wall. "Th'name's Honor. Though you have no way of knowing if that's my real name do you?" Hawt sat still, looking increasingly confused. "I... okay?" Honor helped him up. "So, how about those drugs? I have a few people who've said I'm pretty reliable. Not that I could recall their names," He shot a quick glance over his shoulder. Hawt kept himself pressed against the dumpster. "I... I've got my own dealer... thanks for the offer though. I've got somewhere to be." He said urgently, attempting to run. Of course, that was only to get pulled back by his shirt collar.

 "Woah, woah, woah there buddy, where do you think you're goin'?" Honor said, smirking. Hawt squirmed in the man's grasp. "I really.... I have to go!" Honor dropped him. "To where? Are ya' meetin' a girl? Did someone die?" He leaned in close as he inquired Hawt. Hawt back stepped. "Yea... I have to get to the hospital... because... my uhm... my sister broke her leg..." He stuttered out. "Oh, really? Would you like a ride? And you don't seem to be going the right way. The hospital is that way," He nodded to the side. Hawt laughed, rubbing the back of his head. "Oh... heh... not very familiar with the town I guess...." Honor laughed, "So how about a ride?" Hawt had to think quickly, he didn't want to ride with him, but if he said no... Maybe it would go well, maybe he'd just drop him off at the hospital and everything would be ok. Yea... Hawt nodded weakly. "I guess, sure..."

Soon enough they were driving in the car, Hawt sat in silence, ready to wait out the awkward ride. Honor drove the car along the back streets, going in the opposite direction he'd said. "I thought... this wasn't the right way?" Hawt asked, looking concernedly at Honor. Honor shrugged it off. "Don't worry 'bout it." 

The wheels of Honor's car skidded to a stop as they pulled up in front of a large white apartment building. "And here we are!" He said proudly, looking over at Hawt. "What? This is... this is my house? What is this?" Hawt looked at the house then back at Honor. "Just get out, I know ya' don't have a sister." Hawt got out of the car slowly, "Thanks for the ride... I guess?" He said. Honor waved a goodbye, leaving Hawt standing alone on the sidewalk in front of his apartment building with so many unanswered questions.
