"Why did you save me?"
The pale blonde man's question lingered into the room, filling the tense air with void silence.
Sonny spoke first, clearing his throat, his voice gentle and mellow, "We almost ran you over with our car and you were freezing to death and we--"
"Did it ever occur to you that that was the idea?!" The man shouted, shaking in anger and annoyance. He was mindlessly scratching over the fresh scars on his arms and Jack could see how worried Sonny was being.
"P-please, don't do that." Sonny tried stopping the other but the man slapped his hand away.
"Fuck you!" Sonny flinched at the tone.
Jack heard Harper cluck his tongue as he approached the hysterical man. He gripped the other by the neck collar, gritting his teeth, "Look, you ungrateful prick. We took you here and fucking took care of you."
"I didn't ask you too." The stranger spat, Harper's hold on him tightening---his friend's other fist was ready to collide with the man's face.
Jack rushed by their side, stopping Harper before he could land a punch. He shook his head at him, telling Sonny to accompany Harper outside.
Harper glared at the stranger before slamming and storming out of the room, Sonny following close behind. The raven quietly locked the door of their motel room---Jack and the now silent man was left sitting on the bed.
Jack could see the dirty blonde was clearly agitated, his green eyes wondering around the room unfocused. Jack could see the visible scars and burns littered across the man's body and the other was scratching them off.
He tried reaching out but the other hissed, "Don't fucking touch me."
Jack nodded, sighing. "Look, we don't know who you are but we were just trying to help."
The blonde man did not reply, eyes still darting across the room. His hand reached out for the bedside table, grabbing tightly on the lamp shade. The stranger smashed it into the wall, glass shards shattering all over the floor.
Jack's eyes widened, instinctively defending himself with his arms---thinking the other was going to attack him.
But the other picked up a shard of glass, quickly putting it over his tainted skin as he tried to carve something on his wrist.
Jack bolted up, slapping the glass away. He winced once he felt the tip, accidentally cutting his own palm. He ignored the pain, gripping on the smaller man's arms, sitting over the top of his waist to restrain him from moving.
The other tried to resist but he was frail and weaker than Jack---he tried to bite Jack but the taller man forced him down, "Stop!"
"No, fuck you!"
"Why are you so angry?"
"You're ruining my plan!"
"Your plan is harmful."
"That's the goal," the man beneath him laughed, tears beginning to flow down his eyes. "That's the fucking plan."
The blonde man started sobbing, making Jack loose his firm grip on him and detached himself from other.
He held the sobbing man up, reaching up to hug him, "It's okay, just let it out."
The blonde stranger kept crying, gripping tightly on Jack's shoulders as he leaned his body on the other more.
Jack rubbed soothing circles on the other's back, letting the man's heavy tears drip all over his shoulders.
"It's alright, just let them all out."
