Ray followed Saint into the car. Sitting next to Saint and stuck close to him. Leaning into his side lightly as they went to the hospital. He didn't say anything. Afraid that Saint wasn't okay due to the fist his brother gave to Saint's ribs. He watched as Saint went in back and shifted nervously. He didn't feel brave when Saint wasn't near. Sinner spoke to him and he eeped. Jumping a bit and turned to look at him. "In...In art class." He said nervously. He was an older brother but his older brother was mean. Sinner didn't seem mean but he didn't know the guy. "A an older guy bully tripped me and made my art stuff go everywhere. He chased me under the table and Saint saved me. I was just going to stay under the table where it was safe. Saint got me to come out and sit next to him." He said softly.<br/><br/>His voice hesitant and nervous. "Then he took me to his house...my brother tried to pummel me when he found me with someone else. Saint protected me and gave me the courage to defy my brother. It was scary and I know as soon as I go home I'll really pay for it." He said shaking a bit. Wrapping his arms around himself. "I'll have double the chores and no dinner for days. I don't want to go back home. I want to stay with Saint where its safe and I'm not hurt or treated like a slave. Where I'm allowed to eat." He said softly. Shaking more as he talked about this. "My older brothers are mean. The one who hit Saint is the worst." He said. Shaking harder. Hugging himself tighter.<br/><br/>"I'm not used to people being nice to me. Even the kids at school are mean to me. Its just safer at school because rarely do people beat me up. When I don't go home on time I get punished. When I try to have friends they always leave or get paid to not be my friend. They don't want me having friends or safe people in my life." His words becoming whispers. "Saint is the first person to be my friend and not go away just because my brother said so." He bit his lower lip hard. "I don't know why he brought me home with him but I'm happy I don't have to go back there." He said softly.
