Lila ✔

21I Payback

Jayden's POV

I was stood by the car on my phone, waiting for Lila. I thought she would have finished by now, but she was five minutes late. Where was she?

I turned off my phone and put it back in my pocket, looking around to see if I could see her.

Nothing.

I sighed, and was about to pull out my phone again, when I heard a someone scream.

It seemed to be a girl and it sounded like they were calling for help.

I felt like I recognised the voice and I wondered if it was Lila, but she wouldn't have taken that route to get here. It was too long.

I listened out for another scream, but I didn't hear anything.

I considered just ignoring it, but then I heard someone, that sound like an older man, yell something angrily.

Deciding to see what was going on, I walked in the direction of the scream. I wasn't entirely sure how far down the alley it came from, but I walked over to it anyway.

I was about 1/4 of the way through the alley when I began to hear noises. I could hear moans and whimpering so I sped up.

Who knew what could be happening.

I jogged round a bend in the alley and my eyes widened at the sight in front of me.

Four men had a girl pinned up against the wall and her top was off. One of them was sucking on her neck and caressing her body.

The men were middle aged while the girl looked really young. Maybe thirteen or fourteen? I couldn't see her properly because she was cast in shadows, but she was pretty small.

And she looked like she was about to be raped.

None of the men had seen me yet so I ran up from behind them.

I'd been boxing since I was six, and I had gotten into a number of fights in and outside of school. I could take these men on.

I was only a couple of meters away when I heard the girl say something.

"J-Jayden?" she said, before collapsing to the ground in front of the men.

They all turned to face me after hearing her say that, but I focused on the girls face and couldn't help but gasp. It was Lila.

Anger immediately surged through my veins at the thought of what these men had been doing to her. How dare they.

These fuckers were about to rape a fourteen year old girl.

Yes, I was always quite cold to Lila, but that was because I couldn't get close to her. If I lost her like I did my dad, I would feel more pain. It was better not to allow her to break down my walls that I'd been building up since his death.

Sadly, whether I admitted it or not, Lila was beginning to grow on me. I was beginning to care about her.

She was beginning to become my sister.

I narrowed my eyes at the men, my jaw clenched and my hands curled into fists.

I so badly wanted to kill them. They deserved it.

I could tell that these men thought they could beat me in a fight, all of them having smirks on their faces.

"What the fuck did you just do to my sister," I growled.

In that moment I didn't care. I didn't care if I called Lila my sister. These men needed to know I meant business.

They needed to pay.
