My Broken Mind (Ike x Firkle)

You're Safe Now

Ike's POV

"Ike!!"

"What mom?" I said walking down stairs.

"I need you to go to the store and buy me a few things." My mom said going through her purse. Probably looking for money.

"Why can't Kyle do it?" I complained.

"He's over at Stan's for a sleepover."

"Is that what they call fucking now? Sleepover?" I mumbled under my breath.

"What did you say boobie?" God I hate it when she calls me that.

"Nothing!!" I grabbed the money and ran out the door.

As I was walking to the store I enjoyed the cold, peaceful, empty streets. I've always loved the cold. Not sure why though. Maybe because of how it makes me feel so awake and it just gives me that burst of energy.

I got to the store and paid for everything I was told to get. "Be carful out there kid" said the store clerk.

"Yeah, I will" I waved to him, walking out.

I decided to take a short cut home and turned into an alley. Walking through the alley I notice two figures. I walk up closer to see what's happening.

I saw a guy being pinned to the brick wall. His hair was covering his face but I could still see tears running down his cheeks. He had a blade against his neck being held by an older man.

I walk closer pulling out my pocket knife, trying to be as quiet as possible. As I'm walking closer I notice the older man is trying to pull down the younger boy's pants. I then sneak behind the man and quickly put my pocket knife to the front of his neck. He froze for a minute as did I. I wasn't exactly sure what to do but I wasn't going to let him get away with what he was doing. Thinking quickly I wrapped my other hand onto his mouth and pulled back. I threw him to the ground and grabbed both his arms and held them to his back with his stomach on the ground.

I looked over to the boy. He just stood there in shock.

"Call the police quick!" I said as I tried to keep the man down.

The boy quickly came out of shock and pulled out his phone to dial 911.

"A-a man tried to r-ra-rape m-me...and p-pu-pulled a knife to m-my neck." He couldn't seem to stop studdering

"Um..w-we are be-behind City W-wo-wok." Silence.

He looked at the phone and sat on the ground. While I kept man down on the ground. After a few minutes the police came and took the man. They asked me and the other boy some questions and left after a while. The boy sat down on the curb and broke down crying. I walked over and sat next to him.

I hugged him tightly. "You're safe now"
