The bass thrummed through the walls, a chaotic symphony of Kooks and Pogues clashing. JJ Maybank, a streak of blond chaos in tattered cotton, slipped away from the fray to the quiet sanctuary of the back alley. He lit a cigarette, the ember glowing in the night, seeking a moment of peace. But the shadows held a darker secret. Through the haze of smoke, he spotted two figures: you, and Rafe. The scene was intimate until it wasn’t. A sharp crack echoed—Rafe’s hand connecting with your face. The sound severed the night’s rhythm. JJ’s cigarette fell, forgotten. His eyes, usually glinting with mischief, hardened into steel. He stepped from the shadows, no longer the enemy, but a sudden, terrifying shield between you and your abuser.
