156 I GOT YOU


    LUKE’S POV


    Here, I was driving home, still thinking about the news that hade to me. Harrier was out of prison;


    she broke out of jail, and now I don’t even know if I should be sad or happy. Reminiscing about the


    times we spent with each other was really awesome, but the fact that she had caused me pain really


    changed all of that. She murdered them all for the sake of love. But she was the one who had ruined


    everything in the first ce.


    Now this news came as a blow to me. I wasn’t going to lie. I wondered where she could be now. I knew


    something crazy was going to happen in the days toe; there was no doubt about that. Harriet had


    proven that she was a psychopath. And she could be dangerous around people, but I wasn’t afraid of


    her. I was just concerned about the people around me. The fact that Ariel and I were now passionate


    toward each other. And Harriet might try to do something to separate us. Go to be careful; thedy


    broke out of prison, and this was no movie where she was ying the lead role.


    And as I was driving, I spotted two little children running on the road.


    Unfortunately, I applied the brakes and the vehicle came to aplete stop prior to any catastrophic


    events transpiring.


    “Can’t you two watch? What if something bad had happened to you? You both got to be careful next


    time, okay?” I scolded, bursting out of my car. They didn’t answer; they just stood like statues, staring


    at me. The sad expression on their faces had this swell of guilt moving right through me. I was now


    feeling bad for scolding them.


    I sighed and hunkered down, close to the both of them. “Look, I’m really sorry. But you two need to be


    careful just in case next time. There are numerous insane drivers


    on the road, and they could run you over if you don’t watch out. I’m sorry for being too harsh on you


    guys.”

    They refused to give me a response, and they were both still staring at me. I was wondering if they


    could even talk. Okay, I guess I shouldn’t be going too far.


    I looked around and nced back at the both of them. “Where are your parents?”


    One shook his head slowly, and the other answered softly, “We don’t have parents.”


    “We’re orphans, and we have no ce to stay.


    I felt a pang of sadness in my heart at their words. My mind immediately went to


    how I had lost my parents at such a young age. I knew my mother wasn’t dead, but still, I lost her when


    I was young. I lost the lovely and caring woman,


    although it had been an act. I still missed those days. I missed that kind woman, but she was never


    coming back.


    “Come on, I’ll take you to a restaurant. You both must be hungry,” I said, gesturing for them to follow


    me. They hesitated for a moment before nodding and following me to my car.


    As we drove to the nearest restaurant, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of responsibility towards these


    children. I knew I had to do something to help them, even if it was just for one night.


    We arrived at the restaurant, and I could see the excitement in their eyes as they looked at the menu.


    They ordered whatever they wanted, and I couldn’t help but smile at their innocent faces. They


    deserved to have a good meal after everything they had been through.


    After we finished eating, I asked them where they were nning to go for the night. They both looked


    at each other with worried expressions. “We usually sleep on the streets,” one of them replied.


    I couldn’t let them sleep on the streets, not when I had a spare room in my house. “How about you both


    come stay with me tonight? I have an extra room, and I’ll make sure you have afortable ce to


    sleep,” I offered, hoping they would ept.


    Their faces lit up with gratitude, and they eagerly epted my offer.


    “Let’s get going, shall we?” I smiled at the both of them. We stood up, making our way out of the


    building. I turned to the both of them. “Hold on, can I please know your name? The both of you.”


    “I’m Randy,” one of them replied.


    “Randy, that’s a nice name. You’ve ever heard of this famous WWE superstar, Randy Orton?”


    “Oh my god, then you must be missing a lot. When we get to my house, I’ll show you some of his


    matches.” I smiled at him, ruffling his hair. I turned to the other. “What about you? You haven’t told me


    your name.”


    “Ethan,” he answered, looking downward.


    “Hmm, Ethan, that’s a nice name. I can tell you’ll be a billionaire in the future.” He gave me a skeptical


    look. “Me, a billionaire? Are you sure about that?”


    I squatted next to him. “Yes, I’m sure. You have a bright future, kid. And I’m


    going to help you with that. I’m going to help the both of you. And trust me, you are going to love every


    mornent with me.


    “Hey! What are you doing with my kids?” This man bawled, his voiceing little bit far from me, and I


    quickly turned around.


    “Your kids?” I uttered it in confusion, getting to my feet while the man was traipsing in my direction. I


    looked back at Ryan and Ethan. “Do you know that man?” I asked, but they didn’t give me any


    answers. I set my eyes back on the man, as he had now gotten close to me.


    “Those are my children. I’ve been searching for them for days. What the hell are they doing with you?”


    “Your children? They told me they had no parents.”


    “That’s a lie!” He snapped and red at the two kids. “You’ve started lying now, huh? Just wait till we


    get home. I’m going to teach you both a lesson.”


    “We don’t want to go anywhere with you!” Randy spoke firmly.


    The man’s re intensified. “Oh, you little rat!” He moved closer and wanted to hit the little boy, but I


    seized his hand. We exchanged a dark look before I shoved


    him back.


    “What’s your problem, huh?” He barked at me. But I didn’t utter a word, as I kept on giving him the


    unfriendly look. The little children had to tell me everything: that this man never showed them love and


    always treated them badly, like they were some kind of trash. They exaggerated and exined the


    whole thing–how he was so cruel towards them.


    My re at this man had topound. There was no doubt the children were telling the truth; they had


    been living with an abusive father this whole time.


    “Come on, let’s get out of here,” I said, taking the children’s hands and walking away from the man.


    “Where are you taking them? Come back here, you idiot!” He tried to follow us, but I turned around and


    punched him in the face.


    “Leave these children alone. They don’t deserve to be treated like garbage.”


    The man stumbled back, holding his nose. “Fine, take them. They’re nothing but a burden to me


    anyway,” he spat before storming off.


    I turned to the children, who were staring at me with wide eyes. “Are you okay?”


    They both nodded, and Ryan thanked me.


    “Don’t thank me; it was the right thing to do,” I replied. “Let’s get going, shall


    156TGOT YOU


    we?”


    They nodded, and the three of us walked to my car.
