Third Person

Xephos trudged down the rainy path after a night of partying. It was early in the morning, around 3 or 4. He left since he saw Hannah making out with another guy, she may have been drunk but it was still cheating. Tears streamed down his pale face as the moon illuminated the water logged streets. Everyone from college (British equivalent of late high school I think) had been there and most of them saw. Xeph knew Strife definitely did as he asked if he was alright after, in which his only response was sigh and say "I'm fine" slightly sarcastically.

As Xephos wondered down the street, he held back the urge to throw himself into the middle of the road and wait for a car to end his misery. Things were over between him and Hannah, he made that clear before he left. Everyone else he knew was in a relationship or he just couldn't bring himself to actually date as they were too close. It was much like dating your best friend, you knew each other so well, but when you fought you would break each other's hearts into smithereens; not a good move.

Darkness loomed above him as the street lights flickered on and off. Xephos knew that he wasn't safe, not by a long shot. Walking home by yourself was pretty much a death sentence, but no one else would walk home with him, so he left.

As he turned a corner, he noticed three muscular, tall men just staring at him. Not wanting to cause trouble, Xeph decided to turn around and casually walk in the opposite direction to where the men were stood. Unfortunately, like most things in his life right now, it didn't work out. Shouts echoed behind him as he began to pick up speed until he was almost running away. Being the nerd he was, he found it difficult to keep the speed up, stumbling over the pavement, he fell. He fell hard.

Hands bleeding and still in shock, Xephos didn't notice that the men had circled him, he was a mouse caught in a trap. One of them suddenly picked him up by his collar and proceeded to through him back onto the floor. Too weak to do anything, Xephos accepted his fate with open arms as his head came crashing down on the cold, hard floor.

"Aren't you gonna fight back nerd?" One of the men spat viscously.

"Whatcha gonna do cry to your mummy?" Another not so smartly added.

No he was not going to cry to his Mum, and he definitely wasn't going to fight back.

"You hurt you little princess?" It could've been a nice question but his voice was laced with venom. The nickname made it worse as he felt as if he was going to vomit.

Xephos suddenly heard a gun being pulled out of a sheath and he felt it being pressed against his temple.

"Any last words princess?"

All Xephos could do was whimper as tears slipped into the puddles below him.

Suddenly a load screech of tires slid behind him. Shouting was heard, then three pairs of footsteps were running away from him.

Shakily, Xephos stood up, he turned around and looked towards his saviour. To his surprise he was met with a auburn haired individual on a golden motorbike.

Ridge looked a Xephos longingly, he smiled sweetly and held out his hand.

"Need a lift?"

AN:

I had this one on standby and haven't uploaded til now since I've been watching Strife's stream.

Anyone else feel like his voice is just so soothing? Or is it just me?

Anyway hope you enjoy!

Love you guys!
