" hey you "
I turned and it was the guy from early
" come here "
He was with a group of friends and against everything in my body screaming for me to walk away I went over to them
" what do you want now "
I said with the annoyance clear in my voice
" you're right jay she is ..."
Jay put his arm around me
" move your arm "
" or what you're gonna break it yeah right "
He said with a smile I grabbed his arm and flipped him over and dislocated his shoulder
" ever touch me again and I'll do more then dislocate your shoulder "
I went and got in my car and went home.

I was sitting at the table when Luke came in
" You were right I shouldn't have handed in that paper she said I made it all up "
I turned because I hand my back to the door. There were Luke and Corbyn with a beat-up Jack in between them
" take him to my room now "
I went and found the first aid kit then ran up
" ok anyone cares to tell me what happened "
" umm a umm "
Luke sputtered out
" Luke just go get some towels "
He ran out of the room fast
" corb "
" We were walking and some guys from school came out of nowhere "
I noticed he had a couple of scrapes and the beginnings of bruises also on his cheek
" and they said ...."
I could tell he didn't want to tell me
" what did they say ... WHAT DID THEY SAY "
Corbyn pulled out a piece of paper and gave it to me and said
" he said next time it'll be more than just a broken bone "
I looked at the paper and it had an address on it and it said to come alone. Luke came back in
" ok you two clean him up you to Corbyn I have to go do something "
I ran out of the house and drove to the address.

It was a trailer park I was driving down one of the streets when I saw him it was dark out so they were all around a fire. I stopped and went over
" I knew you couldn't stay away "
He said with a smile on his face and his arms outstretched
" What is wrong with you "
" what are you talking about "
His arms fell to his sides and so did his smile
" what I hurt you so you hurt my friends "
" Ummm yeah "
He put his hand on my shoulder then smiled
" how about this we have ourselves a little fight sine you think you're so tough "
I could smell the faint alcohol on his breath
" fine if I win you leave me and my friends and family alone and if you win "
" If I win you have to do whatever I say "
" fine "
Soon my left hand was slightly burned, my lip was busted, my nose was broken and my ribs were bruised and he was against a trailer fighting for air because my right hand was around his neck
" look I could kill you right now but I know they all have guns pointed at me so looks like I might be more dangerous than you so you better keep up your end of the deal or I might have to reconsider crushing you windpipe k "
He nodded
" good "
I pulled him forward a little then hit his head on the trailer and started walking back to my car
" don't worry I just knocked him out "

I was almost out of the trailer court when someone jumped out in front of me and he looked just like the guy I just beat up
" look I know this must look wired but he's my twin "
" what are you talking about "
He had on a leather jacket
" get in "
He got in and I started driving
" look it's me the one you meet in the church "
He took off his jacket and he had a thin black band tattooed on his for arm and I suddenly remembered
" You were the one in the church you gave me your jacket you didn't ask questions "
He looked down
" yeah I'm sorry "
" for what "
" my brother "
" Your brother is a pig and I'm the one who should be apologizing "
" agree to disagree "
" fine "
" I'm Sam by the way "
" A "
He kept looking down
" so Sam where should I drop you off "
" Ummm here's fine "
I pulled over and when he got out I said
" see you around "
It was more of a question and he needed and closed the. I started driving again it was like all the adrenaline in my body had vanished and I was in pain.
I parked in the driveway and went in and jack, Corbyn and Luke were all in the kitchen waiting for me
" oh my god A "
Corbyn came running over and touched my hand and I pulled away
" it fine "
" what happened "
Luke said
" jay won't be bothering you guys or me anymore "
I started to walk to the bathroom then Luke put me over his shoulder and I was yelling for him to put me down and he did in his car. He drove to Jonah's house and picked me up again
" put me down I can walk I have legs you know "
" yeah I know you keep moving them "
He opened the door and yelled
" Jonah I need your help "
He came running down the stairs
" what are you doing Luke set her down "
He did
" what's wrong with you Luke I'm fine "
Then Jonah's mom walked out of the kitchen
" come on let's get you cleaned up "
I put my hand up trying to tell them to stay where they were  and they all saw the redness from the burn that thankfully didn't remove the skin exposing the next layer
" look I'm fine I know how to fix my self up I don't need help "
