Their laughter echoed in his ears as he made his way towards the exit. He wasn't needed any more, they'd had enough fun at his expense for one night. If only he could stop their taunts forever.
Pulling on his jacket with one hand and opening the door with the other, he was suddenly hit with the cool, forgiving breeze of the night. The vast, enormousness of it gave him hope and he smiled to himself.
Just a few more years and he'd be out. He could go to University. He could get a job. He could literally do anything. There would be no more bullies...
There would be no more Felix Beltz to con and scam and poke fun of him. No more of Denny Masters punches or Sophia Wren's spiteful "flirting". No more pain and no more crying into the blade of suffering to provide comfort to his depleting spirits.
He just wasn't sure he could wait that long for it all to stop. For the pain to end.
