I slowly opened my eyes... and found Astron smashing the face of that male just now. And I realized that it was not the gun but the restroom door shut open..

Astron punched his face and the guy stumbled and scrambled but quickly got up and pointed a knife at ugly duckling... astron sent his gun flying with a kick... and kicked his face. The guy stumbled again... but it quickly got up again and punched astron...

Astron punched with his right and left.
The stumbled
Astron gave him an upper cut
He dodged backwards... the ran back to Astron giving him a straight punch
Astron stumbled a bit.. and held to the shelf for balance..
Astron came back to him giving him a jab.. and continued punching
The guy blocked and dodged all
Then the guy decided to punch Astron at the face
Astron was hit.. and he stumped

I feel sorry for Astron... he was already beated up.. and he got into another fight again.. surely it hurts...

The guy looked at me... and he lunged to me...

"Aarrkk---" my voice was cracking as I try to escape his hold... he held my neck very tight and buried his nails on my skin.. "Hhee--hee--lp."my voice was a mess..

Tears were streaming down my face.. and my breathing was.. out for a moment... then suddenly.... a furious Astron came and punched that guy off me...

And ended up unconscious.

I calmed myself down my breathing.... "I'm stupid..." I said slowly and softly but enough to be heard by Astron.

"Yes you are.." he said and left the male unconscious and came near me..

"Humm." I hummed in response. I felt his arms around me and pulled me closer to him... he hugged me... I let the tears fall from my eyes... my body still shaking... I have seen a gun more than once... but still... it's dangerous..

"Shh.. don't cry now.." he patted my back gently giving comfort... I sniffed. I looked up to his green eyes and saw them emerald in color.

"Ok then.. here is your book." He said and ruffled my hair giving me the book LOVERS...

"I'm stupid.. I thought I could do it... I thought I could help you.. but in the end.. you helped me.."

"It's not your fault... don't cry now.." he said hugging me more... I melted in his embrace... "shh.. wipe your tears now." He said... but instead of me wiping them away... his gentle fingers wiped them away... I buried my head in his comfortable chest.... then I laughed softly.

"I have never seen you like this Astron.." my voice was genuine as I cluckle softly... he was looking at me very intensely..

"Astron??" He whispered his own name.. which made me confused... what?? He doesn't know his own name???? "No one calls me Astron... only you to be honest.."

"Ohh..."

I pushed him away.. but he arms were still around me as if he doesn't want to let go... "uhh Astron..." I said.. he looked at me confused and then... snapped..

"Wwhhoo ok sorry." He said and lets me go. I sat back down on the floor with my small mattress and blanket.. and I hugged my pillow tightly... then I read my book.... I got engrossed again because Charlie told Jimmy about what he discovered... that he asked the family doctor about DNA... and it couldn't be possible that he is the son his mother... which shocked me so dang much.. I mean... yes.. Charlei's dad was indeed unfaithful...
