BLAKE, AGED 18
Blake crouched under the bridge, spray paint can in hand. His arm moved
in swift, angry strokes, leaving jagged letters in neon blue against the
gray concrete.
The fumes mingled with the damp, musty air, creating a haze that
matched his chaotic thoughts. It had been two months since his parents
were shot. An innocent stroll in the park, caught in a gang’s crossfire. With
that one spray of bullets, Blake’s world had shattered.
He shook the can harder, trying to drown out the memory with the hiss of
paint. As he worked, a movement caught his eye.
He turned and saw a girl huddled under the bridge, clutching a pink
stuffed toy shaped like a cat. She sniffled, wiping her nose with the back of
her hand. Her red hair blazed defiantly against the drab background, and
freckles dotted her tear-streaked face.
It was hard to tell how old she was. Maybe thirteen? Older than his little
sister, at least. Poor Chloe was just a kid. Way too young to have lost her
parents. Blake’s older brother, Nash, was her legal guardian now. As the
second oldest, Blake was meant to look after her too, but he was so damn
angry he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
As he looked at this redheaded girl, though, he felt a protective spark in
him that surprised him. His chest tightened as he recognized the hollow
look in her eyes—the same one he saw in the mirror every day. This girl
was suffering. He was sure of it. It wasn’t fucking fair. She was too young,
too sweet-looking, to have so much on her shoulders.
Blake pushed his shaggy dark hair out of his eyes, revealing a piercing
blue gaze that was too old for his eighteen years. Just as he was about to
approach her to check if she was alright, three boys, aged around fifteen,
appeared out of nowhere.
Instantly, they spotted her and circled her like predators.
“Hey, ginger freak! What’s with the stupid toy?” one of them jeered,
yanking at the cat plushie.
“Yeah, too old for that, aren’t you?” another chimed in, smirking cruelly.
The third boy pulled at her hair, making her wince. “Damn, look at those
freckles. Do you have them everywhere? Like, even on your butt?”
The boys laughed. “You’d be ugly even without the freckles, girl. You’re,
like, one of those ‘Before’ pictures on a plastic surgeon’s website.”
Blake’s muscles tensed. He moved without thinking, his body responding
to years of street fights. He dropped the spray can and stepped forward, his
voice low and menacing. His palms grew sweaty as he clenched his fists,
heart racing. “Leave. Her. Alone.”
The boys turned to face him, sneers faltering as they took in his size and
the determined set of his jaw.
“What’s it to you?” one of them spat. “You wanna fuck her freckled
pussy?”
Blake swallowed hard. He tugged his oversized hoodie tighter around his
lean frame, feeling exposed despite the baggy clothing. It was three against
one, and he noticed the glint of a knife in one of their hands. But the sight
of the girl, so scared and vulnerable, propelled him forward.
“I want to stop an innocent person getting hurt,” he said, his voice steady
despite the adrenaline. “Walk away. Now.”
