1- cries for help

Tyler Joseph

I sat at the corner next to the music shop. a lot of gangs hang out around here, I really shouldn't be here but I need a place to sit down for now. I've been walking all day and my old shoes were wearing out. I had them since I got kicked out. I sat on the curb. I was kinda waiting for someone to come out of the music store and tell me to leave.

I finally got up and went into the alley behind the music store and sat on the damp concrete. I hear a bunch of yelling from a bit around a corner I go to investigate. I see a bunch of men standing around a woman. I hear the woman scream for help. I run to the scene and try to shield the woman.

"Run!" I yell to the woman. She gets up and with no hesitation, ran as fast as she could. I look at the men who where harassing the lady, and give a nervous smile. One man gave a menacing smile back and pushed me to the floor. All the men were laughing and kicking me. One kick hit me straight into the ribs I clenched my side and cried for help.

"Who would help you?" He laughed. I cried and cried and I guess he was right, no one was coming to help. The men laughed and laughed, non stop at my agony. till I was kicked in the head and blacked out.

I go out side the store to light my cigarette. I here wines and cries for mercy. I try to hear where the sounds were coming from and then they stopped. I go to find what had happened. I looked around a corner to see 5 men walk away from a what seemed like a lifeless body once the men where out of sight I ran to the body. I lift the persons head up off the hard ground. I saw the rise and fall of his chest. Thank god he's alive. I shook him to see if the brunette would wake up he opened one eye. he Immediately tensed up and backed away from me wining.

"Please dont hurt me!" He cried tears running down his face. He held his side in agony.

"I won't hurt you, I'm here to help. Are you OK?" I gave him a hand to get up. He stared at my hand and grabbed it. As soon as he stood he stumbled back to the floor. "is it okay if I carry you?"  He simply nodded. I picked him up holding him like a baby. He rested his head on my shoulder as I walked as fast as i could to my work. I brought him to the staff room and layed him on the softest thing I could find also known as the floor. I later him down and he let out a soft whimper. I called Pete and Patrick in to help me out. The brunette was asleep.

"Josh what did you do?!" Pete yelled.

"I didnt do it, and shh he's asleep." I whispered "he was beat up in the alley." the boy began to wake up. He tensed up once more I went up to him and grabbed his shoulders softly.

"where am I?" He started breathing heavily and shaking. I held him in my arms and brushed my fingers through his messy hair. Hoping it would calm him. He tried to escape my grasp. But soon calmed down.

"You're at the music store. do you want to tell me what happened?" I smiled calmly.

"I-I was in the alley, when i h- heard a bunch of y-yelling. So I looked, to see a woman being ganged up on an-and i-i helped her, she ran away, they then beat me." He said looking around and me still holding him. "Who are you?" he said squirming out of my arms.

"I'm josh, this is Pete, and that's Patrick." I say standing up. "And what's yours?"

"Tyler" he said trying to stand. I run back to him to help him stand.

"Woah, woah, woah, take it easy, sit down."
