"Do WHAT?"

I try to scramble away from the man. Not today satan. His hands reach closer and closer to me. I still couldn't see his face. What if he was some creepy old man? Oh who am I kidding, his voice hot af. What the hell am I even saying? A perv is a perv, period.

"Where are you going sweetheart?"

"The hell away from you"

He laughs and reaches towards my shirt.

"If you touch me Ill kick you in the balls. Try me."

He laughed again and stood all the way up. Did I mention how tall he is? Dayum son. Wait, im in the middle of being assaulted.

"Trust me, if I wanted you naked, youd been that way long ago."

Wtf.

"I have reason to suspect you might have bruised your spine or a rib when you fell. I need your shirt off so I can see"

I move to touch my back and wince in pain. Crap he's right. I take a deep breath and look at him again before removing the thin fabric.

"No funny business unless you want a free circumcision"

I can hear him swallow. Ehh, isnt like he has much to look at anyways. Im just grateful that those 8 sit ups I did last week came through.

"Sir can you hurry? Its getting close to curfew and I still need to find my sister."

"Im finished. You might have slightly bruised a rib. Take slow, shallow breaths and put ice on it asap."

I nodded my head and he gave me my shirt back. I grab my phone to check the time. Right, its dead. Suddenly two hands were put at my waist. I snap my head up at him. Thank God im brown, or my face wouldve been on fire.

"Relax. Im only helping you up."

He paused before looking around.

" We have about 30 minutes before curfew, lets get moving."

I start walking again and stop. The pain in my side growing more with every step. Noticing, the man stops in front of me and bends down.

"Get on"

He then motions for me to get on his back.

"Im fine actually. You have all that gear on and-"

"Ive been through worse at bootcamp, im sure I can manage."

Well if you say so.

I re-adjust my bag and climb on top of him. Geez he smells nice too. We walk in silence for a while, him occasionally re adjusting my weight. Im actually quite small. I have years of childhood trauma and bullying to thank for that.

"Hey umm, where exactly am I going?"

"Oh sorry, make a left"

The next 5 minutes consist of me giving him directions to the location Angel had described. I see the blonde girl sitting down under a large tree as she had told me. I point the man with me on his back to her. I get of his back and creep around the tree..

"Ouch! Hey what was that for?!"

I hit her again.

"DIDN'T"

BOP

"I"
