Day 14 - Your favorite friendship : 4. Rose and Mason

I didn’t need to. They were threats, threats I had to keep Mason safe from. A couple of them approached me, and I leapt up, lifting the sword and holding it protectively over his body.

“Stay back,” I warned. “Stay away from him.”

“It’s okay,” he said. “Everything’s going to be okay. You can let go of the sword.”

My hands shook even harder as I fought to hold on to the hilt. “I can’t.” The words hurt coming out. “I can’t leave him alone. I have to protect him.”
