I'm shoved back, and people keep chanting the word fight. I don't know what to do, if this doesn't stop soon, that guy will for sure die. I try making my way to the center of the fight, but people push me back. I look at everyone, not knowing what to do. I look down at what I'm wearing, sad that it's going to get ruined, but right now I don't care.

I fall to the floor and start crawling on my knees, going in between every person around Sawyer. People don't notice I'm on the floor, so they step on my fingers. I wince in pain at the heavy pressure on my fingers. Okay this isn't working. I quickly get up, knowing there's only one more thing I can do, and that is to call Evan.

Pick up, pick up, pick up I beg to the phone. It rings a couple of times and by this time I'm crying.

"Sawyer is in a fight and I don't know what to do hurry and come he's going to hurt him." I sob all in one go.

"What?" Evan yells angrily into the phone. He hangs up before I can say anything else. My determination grows and I push my way through the crowd. My tears blur my vision, but I keep pushing through. By the time I make it to Sawyer, I see Sawyer on top of the guy, punching the guy, his face full of rage.

"Sawyer, stop!" I yell, plead, and pray he listens. But his rage has made him def and he doesn't hear.

The cops finally arrive and an ambulance right behind, breaking it up. The guy is on the floor, lifeless, barley breathing. Blood is dripping from all over his face. It doesn't even look like a person anymore. I turn my eyes away, not being able to take it.

I watch as Sawyer stands a few feet away from the guy. I can visibly see him shaking in anger. I don't want to go anywhere near Sawyer, afraid of him. The ambulance team rushes the guy out of there, placing him on a gurney. Some stay behind, making sure Sawyer is okay. I stay as far away as possible, watching everything unfold.

Evan isn't far behind, he takes in the scene before me. He's angry, beyond pissed. He spots me and walks towards me, as Sawyer is getting checked.

"I'm disappointed." He starts. He tries controlling his breathing. "You were on the job, and you leave with my brother. A person you claim you hate." He shouts.

"Sorry." I look down, still crying. Not knowing how to deal with this situation. Defending myself will do nothing. Sawyer starts walking towards us, but Evan gets in front of me.

"I don't think that's a good idea." Evan says sternly, stopping Sawyer from getting any closer.

"Your opinion means fucking little to me." Sawyer glares at his brother. I take in Sawyers appearance, bloody lip, and a few scratches on his face. It looks like a bruise is going to form on his cheek. He tries walking towards me again, but Evan gets closer, their faces almost touching; a glare off. They're both breathing heavily, and Sawyer swerves around his brother and heads to me.

"Are you okay?" Sawyer asks, as he looks at my appearance. My dress has a few holes, my knees are covered in dirt and my hands have small cuts. I don't answer him, he comes closer and tries to take my hands in his. I step back, still crying from today's events. I walk to Evan and he immediately embraces me in a hug. I watch Sawyer clench his jaw.

"Are you Sawyer?" A female cop, rudely asks him. Sawyer gives a quick nod. "Sheriff  Keiltskin is waiting." My stomach drops at the mention of that name. Sawyer spits out blood before following the cop.

"Will you be okay?" Evan questions, concern laced on his face. I nod. He walks after Sawyer and I watch as he easily gets his brother out of this situation.

I stand there realizing, everything Carter said about the Pierce brothers, might have some truth to it. I sit on a near by bus bench and watch as Evan talks his way out. I see them argue back and forth and it looks like it may take awhile. I get up, and do the only thing I know how to do. I run away. I've been payed enough to buy a house, thanks to Evan. I just have to buy a train ticket and leave. Unknown destination here I come.
