“Please go away.”
The girl’s timid request was almost lost beneath the grumbling
of the train hurtling along the subway.
“It’s a free country, sweetheart. I ain’t doing nothing but sitting next to
you.”
But it was clear from the man’s leer and the disgusting way he looked
the teenager up and down that he had other things on his mind. The car had
plenty of other free seats he could have sat in. His decision to take up that
particular one spoke volumes about his intentions.
The girl stood, gathering her purse close to her chest and moved to a
different row.
A second later, the older man followed, stalking her like she was prey.
This time he took up the spot across from her, fingers grazing across her
bare knees.
She flinched away, tucking her legs to one side, and steadfastly stared
out the window. Like a kid who hoped that if she couldn’t see the problem,
it wouldn’t exist.
“Come on now, sweetheart. I just want to talk to you. Pretty little thing
like you, you must have men like me talking to you all the time. You know,
I’m a talent scout for movies and TV. I think you have a look casting
directors would really like. My company could make you real famous.”
I fought the urge to roll my eyes. The man’s dirty sweatpants and
falling-apart sneakers hardly screamed successful businessman.
To her credit, his attempt didn’t sway the girl. She didn’t so much as
glance at him. She was holding it together as best she could.
But her bottom lip trembled. Her entire posture was so rigid with stress
and fear it was visible to me, even from across the car.
She was barely old enough to be on the subway alone. She definitely
wasn’t equipped to deal with predators like this creep.
I waited for the middle-aged businessman a few seats ahead of me to
stand up and say something. He probably had kids her age.
When he didn’t move, I focused on the young guy who could have just
stepped out from beneath the squat rack at a gym. Surely he’d noticed what
was happening. He was right next to them.
There were half a dozen men between me and the scene going down
who could have stepped in at any minute and told this asshole to back off
and leave the girl alone.
Yet, none of them did. There was a whole lot of shifting and sinking
down on their seats. Diverting their gazes to things less uncomfortable.
Some took out phones and acted like being busy playing Candy Crush was
an excuse to not call out the problem right in front of them.
The train pulled into a station, and the businessman got up, walking
straight past the creep without so much as saying a word in his direction.
“Unbelievable,” I muttered to myself, putting my knitting needles down
on my lap. I called out to the girl. “Excuse me, Miss? There’s a spare seat
over here next to me.”
