DESPITE MY FEAR, AND the ache in my throat from being choked by Blaze yet again, I couldn’t fight the desperate need to try and help him. To do something, to ease his pain.

Something had happened to his sister, and I realised I had nothing. No knowledge, no memories of what had happened with her. I was in my final years of school at that point, and so much of school had been a blur, because of one thing or another.

I remembered those last few years of school being rough for me, because my mum was having issues with her health, and was eventually diagnosed with fibromyalgia after months of being blown off by doctors, and suffering in silence. I remembered that it was around the time that Blaze started our school that Boon started hounding me to give up my virginity, even though I was only thirteen to his fourteen.

The pressure on kids my age was insane, and he expected me to remember something like a conversation with my boyfriend at the time? I hated the fact that it had led to so much hurt, but it had been an innocuous comment, and I hadn’t even realised the knock on effect it’d had. In fact, I wouldn’t have put it past Boon to make sure nobody let on what was going on, to keep me out of it, even if it was just another way he tried to control my school years.

“Blaze.” He was fighting so hard to hold back the desperate emotion that was clearly destroying him, just like the cruelty of teenagers had attempted to destroy his sister. Maybe they’d even succeeded. My god, what if she’d died because of it?

I crawled across the bed, reaching out to grab his shoulder, as his whole body started to heave with guttural sobs that I couldn’t do anything to ease. He just kept muttering ‘it’s my fault’ over and over again, and for some bizarre reason I ended up holding him, cradling him against my chest as he cried.

It was a bizarre facet of my humanity, leading me to comfort the monster who’d tormented, raped, and threatened me with death. It was the inability to watch another human, no matter how cruel, in pain. He wasn’t holding me as he cried, but he was letting me hold him. Was it strange and messed up that I was holding my captor, my rapist, trying to offer him some semblance of comfort, when he’d offered me none at any point? I just couldn’t help it.

“Blaze, shh it’s okay,” I murmured, wondering if he could even hear me over that ragged chanting of his. He was taking the blame for whatever had happened, but he hadn’t even finished explaining everything yet. Was Ember still alive? I vaguely remembered that adorable blonde girl, who’d been so whimsical, and giggly, and sweet.

“It was my fault,” Blaze whispered, shuddering in my arms. He’d finally started to calm down, but I wasn’t fool enough to think he’d stay that way.
