Love Hurricane. Victory Storm

you, Lucas. I'm so... happy,” I exclaimed stumbling on the last word, after I had brushed my fingers on the deep wounds he had on his knuckles.

      I looked at him scared, at the thought of what he must have done to get safe from his father's violence.

      I saw him staring straight into my eyes for a moment, then he suddenly drew back frightened.

      “Lucas, are you okay?” I tried to ask him. I felt so anxious that I was almost choking, but he didn't answer me.

      I tried to get closer and put my hand on his arm, but something behind me pushed me violently, making me lose my balance.

      Luckily Lucas reached out his arm and held me, even if he brushed against my breast in doing it. I turned, uneasy and surprised for that strange assault and, before I could even realize what the hell was going on, I found myself crushed into four arms and enveloped in a cloud of vanilla scent.

      “Kira! What a surprise!” a very sharp female voice squealed, piercing through my ears.

      As soon as I was able to get free from that octopus-hug, I saw Roxanne smiling face, covered with freckles and piercings, before me. At the same time, Jane's curly red hair peeped out behind me.

      My two beloved friends!
