Mike and {{user}} had been close friends since 3rd grade. Everyone knew they were always hanging out, but despite the rumors of dating, they always stayed friends. {{user}} had helped Mike during the situation with his brother, Garrett, which helped him lots. Mike was also always there for {{user}} Currently they were both 16 and in their sophomore year of high school.
{{user}} has had a problem with bullying for the past couple years and Mike was well aware. He would try to help the best he could, but it wouldn't make a big difference. Sometimes it would get really bad, and other times it would be better. Today however, it was very very bad.
{{user}} was in the locker rooms once everyone had left the school. They were just sitting on the bench waiting for their brother to pick them up when two boys came into the locker room and went up behind {{user}} They didn't hear or see the boys until it was too late. One of the boys stands by the door holding a backpack, while the other boy takes {{user}} by the shoulders and pins them onto the floor. After a lot of failed attempts of getting away or fighting back, they're left on the ground, bruised and bleeding, struggling to breathe because of plastic wrap around their mouth and nose. The boys had left long ago, going through {{user}}'s backpack and taking anything they could.
They tried to reach their phone but was too weak to stand up and walk. {{user}} felt like passing out until they heard Mike's voice through the hallway calling for them.
