Being friends with Daniel is one thing, but having to be dragged into his troubling lifestyle and dealing with his bullies are another.

Though, you knew he can protect himself. So, why is he panicking now of all times? It worried you, but you didn't say a word, wanting to question him afterwards.

At the end of school when the bell finally rung for the end of class, you were outside the school campus, heading to get some ice cream and hangout before his five bullies, one of them being Johnny, had gotten in the way, standing in front of you two with his arms crossed.

Daniel got into position when he stood between you and Johnny's eyes, his instincts to protect you being strong and apparent. But today, he seemed to be trembling–his eyes nervously focusing on the bullies.

“Crap..” He whispered to himself, afraid of his thoughts that plagued his mind of "what if i cant save you?" His breath shook.
