"Yeah well" He stops to slick his hair back and get in a irl to let hiht What can I say; your fine as hell friend wanted a ride on my Harley So" He fixes his shirt as if he’s all slick "I took her for a ride on e hi to ride anything else but for a while now"

We sit here in silence for a few minutes, before Blaine wraps his arm around my shoulder "You knowyou re willed and say what’s on youra crap about what others think I like you and I can see why Royal does too"

I s cool then, huh?"

He nods his head and his a awesome"

My heart stops as soon as the as leaves histo hear "Was?" I force out the word, unsure if I should ask the next part "What happened to her?"

He looks away and exhales, before answering "Some assholes took her from me They took the best person in rips the top step and I can see his jaw clenching as he takes araped and killed by three low lives You better fucking believe that if her fiancé had not killed those pieces of shit first, I would have There’s nothing I wouldn’t have done for her She was older than h the endless bouncing between foster ho inI can do about it"

His words causeout to comfort him as he drops his arm from my shoulder and rubs his hands over his face

I can’t stand it right now I don’t want to see these boys hurt It’s not fair Not at all "That’s fucking horrible, Blaine" I lace ainst his arm "I’m so sorry that happened to your sister" I s hard, trying to keep my emotions somewhat under control "What happened to her fiancé?"

He pulls out a cigarette and lights it, quickly taking a long drag and blowing out away from me "He’s around"

"He’s not in prison for what he did?" I ask in surprise "How long ago did this happen?"

"Alo" He shakes his head "And nah Self-defense Those assholes broke into his hoht back and he did Some people look down on him for it, but not me He’s the most badass, loyal, dependable motherfucker that I know"

"So a lot like Royal," I ask My chest tightens with need at just the thought of him, and I can’t help but to wonder where he is

Blaine’s eyes meet mine and for a split second he looks surprised "Yeah" He desperately takes another drag of his cigarette and slowly blows out "A lot like Royal"

Sitting in silence, I hold onto Blaine’s ar to somehow comfort him and show him that I’m there I may not know Blaine very well, but I know that Royal cares about him That makes me care about him as well He ht of the loss these boys have suffered through the years breaks h they’ve been living

Royal lost a friend recently, his fiancé at some point, and Blaine has lost his sister I’ve known these men for less than aand holding inside

"I’ain" I squeeze his arm and he wraps his arm back around me "I’m here if you need me, okay"
