Chapter 69 *Blaze* Haze finally retreats, allowing me to come to the surface. He has never been the type to solve problems with anything other than a fist. Not so good with his words. "How did you find out?" He asked me. "She told me. She didn't want to, but she did." I tell him, not really wanting to talk about it. "I don't forgive you for not stopping it. But thank you for getting her out before it happened again." "I'm sorry I couldn't stop it. I never even thought he would get to that level. Not trying to defend him at all, but it's just not like him to be forceful." I sit and think about what he said, mulling the words over in my head. I'm not sure why, but something rang in my head. 'Not like him.' When we were fighting, it didn't seem like him to back down. Or stay down.
