Something was telling him, he has to save this girl.
"Hey you!" Tom yelled. "I'm talking to you, Get up now" He yelled again.
He walks over to her "Excuse me, What is your name?" Tom asks
"Elena" She whispers, hiding her face in horror. "Please don't hurt me" Elena frightened.
Tom grabs her arm with one hand and her hand in the other and helps Elena up
"im so sorry" Elena groans.
Tom pulls her face towards his to see what she looks like, Theres an awkward silences. "Woah" Tom is frozen in shock. "What am i bleeding" Elena worried, As she looks longer at tom she gets shivers down her spine.
