"Fuck!" I exclaimed as I come to a halting stop, a man in a black jumper and baggy grey bottoms steps out in front of me from the dark alley, I couldn't see his face as his hood cast a shadow over it
"Ah sorry" I mumble before walking past him, but I am stopped suddenly when his hand clasps around my wrist
"What's a kid like you doing here all alone" a deep voice penetrates the silence followed by my fastening breaths
I wanted to say something, yell at him, give him a snarky remark, something to give him the hint I would beat the shit outa him if he tried anything like Connor would but all I could muster was a meek whimper
"Not so strong as we make out, Carlton "the man chuckles darkly before pulling me harshly towards him. The sheer harshness and unexpectedness of the movement caused me to fly face-first into the alleyway, I try to get up and run but I feel a pair of hands push me further into the concrete
"Get off me" I finally manage the courage to yell
"Sorry but that's not possible," the dark voice from earlier says as I feel someone pick me up by my shirt and throw me against the wall
"Check his pockets for anything valuable" a third man yells. My head is still spinning from where I had been thrown against the wall so I couldn't move when a young-looking man shoved his hands in my pockets and pulled out the $50 I had in there I was too tired to fight back so I just sat there while he pulled out the stuff I had in my pockets, I was thank full I had left my phone in the house
"is that all he has?" the man from before questions staring down at the $70 in his hands, the smaller one just nods while feeling around in my bottoms only to find nothing.
"how about this?" the third voice questions while grabbing hold of my right arm and holding it in the air, I couldn't move I couldn't do anything, I was weak like always
"Aha that watch looks expensive take it "the man from before chuckles at that moment the world comes crashing down on top of me
"Ha it's a girl's watch, are you a sissy, boy?" The first man mocks booting me in the jaw, my head snaps to the side as I weakly cough out blood
"N-no stop" I croak weakly trying to shake the man off me, I actually manage to raise my leg enough to kick one of them in the jaw, the man recoiled and growled angrily, I took this as a moment to stand up, I quickly rose to my feet but the older man sends a fist towards my face knocking me back slightly
"Get yourself's together and grab him" he yells angrily at the two men on the floor before I could run they both leap on me and pin me back to the ground and this time I knew there was no way I could get out of this
"Well if sissy boy here isn't willing to give up that watch of his I'm just going to have to take it by force" the man kicks my face slightly and moved his foot to hover it over my arm
"No no what are you doing," I say my voice full of panic, I begin to struggle as the man lowers his foot to my wrist but the other men push me further into the ground
"I'm just going to break your wrist so I can slip that watch right off" the man chuckled, suddenly I found it hard to breathe as I thought about what my father would do if I can home with a broken wrist, and how my football team had a football match on Thursday and the outcome would decide where we placed
"No no please" I cried out as I tensed preparing for the pain in my wrist, but nothing came instead a voice called out from the distance
"Oi get the fuck off him"
the men shout and curse before running up in the opposite direction, I was left in only my small t-shirt shivering as the figure walked closer to me, they dropped down and knelt in front of me
