<strong>Jay and Steph</strong><br/><br/>Jay climbed into the car, as another load of Patrick's friends pulled up and started helping them up. They went to take chase of Jay, but he was long gone by the time they got out on the street. Jay cruised for some time, then pulled into a spot at the park, turning the car off. He'd been completely silent in the car the whole time, thinking.<br/><br/>"There was this one time... With Mel..." he said, pulling the pistol and looking it over. "I Thought it would be fun to sneak her into a club" he told her, shaking his head. "She went to the bathroom, and when she came out, this guy... Told her I went out the side... And when she followed... There were some guys waiting for her" he told her, pausing here for a few moments. "I Saw her leave, and I followed her out... Well, they were grabbing her..." he stopped again, swallowing hard. "I Pulled her away from them, but in doing that one of them stabbed me... That's the scar" he said, then sighed. "I Told Mel that if dad ever found out, she'd never see me again... And I told dad I got mugged..." he explained, then closed his eyes. "I Couldn't protect her without running on to a knife..." he said, his lip curling in disgust. "I Was lucky to have gotten her out of there... That will never happen again... Not to Mel, and not to you" he told her. "Do you really think if Patrick's crew showed up a moment sooner he wouldn't have taken that beating out on you?" he asked her, then shook his head. "You would've gotten raped, and it would've been my fault, and there would have been nothing I could do if I didn't have it" he said, shaking his head.
