Episode 3
Loan shark:Not until he pays up.
Leon picked up some dirt and threw it in the guys eyes
The loan shark reeled back in pain, clutching his eyes
Loan shark:Agh! You little brat!
Leon ran over to Zeke and grabbed him
Zeke was barely conscious, his face bruised and bloodied
Zeke tried to speak but couldn’t, only managing a pained groan
Leon
Come on say something
Zeke struggled to sit up, wincing in pain
Leon picked zeke up as Zeke leaned heavily against Leon, his breathing ragged and labored
Noah grabbed the other side of zeke
Everett
we can go to my place
Leon
Yeah, let’s get out of here.
They all rushed over as fast as they could to Everett’s house once they reached Everett’s house, they hurried inside and set Zeke down on the couch
Everett
I’ll go get the first aid kit!
Noah sat down next to Zeke, looking worried
Noah
Are you sure you’re okay, man? You look like hell.
Zeke
*Smiled slightly*….fine
Noah
Yeah, you’re clearly fine. You can barely even talk.
Everett came back with the first aid kit and began tending to Zeke’s wounds as Zeke winced in pain
Everett
You should be more careful, man. Those loan sharks are dangerous.
Leon
but why would they come to school with there bull shit
Everett
They probably thought they’d catch him off guard at school. It was a dumb move, but they must be getting desperate.
Leon
What are you going to do? You can’t keep running away from them forever.
Zeke
Zeke:i know…..i already have 7 jobs…i don’t know what else to do *he said a tear rolling down his cheek*
Noah
Hey, don’t cry, man. We’ll figure something out. You don’t have to do this alone.
Everett
I know you are, but you can’t give up. You’re strong, and we’ll help you get through this.
Leon and Noah exchanged worried glances before Leon wrapped his arms around Zeke in a comforting hug
Just then Everett’s parents walked through the door with a mysterious man
Everett
Dad? What’s going on? Who’s this?
Everett’s dad:who are they?
Everett’s mom:and is that kid bleeding on my expensive leather couch…?
Everett
just take him to my room…
Noah nodded and carefully helped Zeke up, guiding him to Everett’s room Leon followed behind them
