You and Adam were always enemies growing up

You have lived on the same street your whole life yet he lived in a rough household and the children on your street were advised to stay away from him

He already had a criminal record in high school and was a bad student You were almost an excellent student, and you tried not to get involved with him

One day, Adam showed up at your door late at night He was bloodied and bruised and panting

“I had nowhere else to go” His voice was rough and cold
