“but what if I want to do that with you”
She whispers, by now the other 2 kids were watching silently but just as I turn away I notice the boy poke at his phone in His pocket.
I react before thinking and kick his hand, Scott seeing this moves fast taking the phone from his hand then he holds out his palm to the other girl who immediately passes her phone over glaring at her brother
“Let’s talk about this later ok? Promise me you will be good and keep the other 2 in check. I don’t want you dying. Promise me you will listen to them”
“I promise”
She whispers again, wiping tears from her cheeks. She hands the phone back to Derek and she drops her head
“Don’t worry, we won’t hurt you”
I tell her, she nods as her sister and brother pull her into a hug, a huge blacked out minivan pulls up
