*TOMS POV*
“done!” announces Jack, putting the phone down.
“what did they say?” I ask, pulling my shoes on.
“That we need to go to yours and the insepctor will talk to us, Katy and Sara.”
“Okay, okay.” I say, picking up my jumper and throwing it on.
“ready?” he asks, opening the door.
“lets go.” I reply, nodding.
The walk to my house is only afew minutes but it’s incredibly tense. How am I going to tell everyone about the threat and explain why I didn’t tell them? We turn the corner to my street and what I see makes me stop in my tracks. Harry, on the floor with his nose bleeding and his eye already going slightly black. He is clutching his stomach. Whoever did this to him, I will kill. I run over to him and kneel besides him.
“Harry, mate. Can you hear me?” I ask as Jack gets on the ground beside me.
“Ofcourse I can fucking hear you, I’m not deaf.” He laughs, moving but then wincing.
“shutup.” I joke, putting my hand on his shoulder. “just..just stay still. I’ll go and get dad.” I say, looking around. “No actually, I’m not leaving you mate uh.. Jack, could you go get dad?” Jack nods and gets up.
“who did this to you?” I ask him, continuously looking up for anyone approaching.
“someone who came for Katy but she seemed scared so I went with her and pretended to be her girlfriend. He was a right creep.”
“and what was his name?”
“I..i don’t remember.”
“Harry I need you to think for me. Was his name anything like Tony?”
“yeah, that was it. Tony.” He says.
Holy shit. “and he hit you? Why?”
“because I tried to stop him.”
In that one second, I feel the world collapse around me.
“stop him doing what.” I order. He tries to move but lets out a moan from pain.
“Harr, stop him doing what.”
“He said he needed to be…satisfied by her. He said it was a deal you made with him and that he was going to make it happen. He…” he grimaces, his eyes shining with tears.
“he pushed her against the wall and held her arms and kissed her, it made me feel sick.”
“he fucking did what?” I blurt, feeling anger surge inside me. He touched Katy with his dirty, disgusting hands.
“I tried.. I tried Tom. I tried so hard to get him off her but instead he opened the front door and dragged me outside with her. He beat me up and then left with her.” A tear rolls down his cheek.
“Okay man, calm down. We’ll sort it out. Why didn’t anyone inside the house hear it?”
“They were having an argument about me and Lucy and the pregnancy test. I could hear them shouting in the background… Mum and Dad. It’s really upset them.”
“Right okay man, I’m going to help you stand. We are going to have to go inside but we’ll get this sorted.” I hook my arm around his waist to help him. He winces but I manage to pull him up off the floor. He puts all of his weight onto me, his arm around my shoulders. I wrap my arm around his waist and help him up to the front door.
