The man, known only as Mr. Sarantos, was in the business of giving "high-risk loans". He was a loan shark, and he had been willing to give them a loan... to cover what they needed in order to keep the business afloat awhile longer.However the interest he charged was considerably higher than the legitimate lending institutions. And what's more, that payment too, was now coming due. And the money wasn't there to pay this month's installment."What are we going to do, Charles? This business was. By the time I went to school, David had left and although Mary was there, as a girl, she didn’t have the presence to protect me. Not that I needed it. Within the first few weeks, I had had several scuffles with older students and firmly convinced my peers that messing with me was a bad idea.After each fight, I would get sent home with a letter for my parents and would get beaten again for causing trouble. I felt it was unfair but knew better than to complain. It did, however, fuel my rage for. "You bastard!" I exploded from the bed, leaping at him and grabbing atight grip on his balls. "Where's the rubber?" He blinked at me. "WHEREIS THE FUCKING RUBBER?"He glanced at the floor. Well, his eyes did, the moment he began to movehis body I tightened my grip on his nuts and he froze. There, unopened,sat the condom."What the utter fuck?! D'you think I used it just to tag you with cuntduty?" Hey, look, chill out. You're on the pill right? Or there's those morningafter ones. You know it feels. Life, family, depression and all that nice shit. Anyway, all comments are welcome and wanted, though the more constructive are more so!! Though if you won’t vote at least comment that way I get SOME response. And YES, I know this chapter SUCKS! If I can come up with a rewrite that works and I don’t have to rewrite to many following chapters believe me when I say I will rewrite this!! ****************** ‘Yeah, whatever.’ Grumbled Jasmine as she looked around the bay ignoring the goings on.
