A Second Chance
Melina says, releasing Franky.
"Yes Mel, how are you? I hope they didn't hurt you. I told them I'd take all the beating for you," Franky rasps, trying but failing to open her eyes as she speaks.
"Oh my God, Franky, why would you do that? Please don’t do that again." Melina didn't dare to tell her that what she did was in vain. These monsters won't spare a chance to harm either of them.
"You sound okay; I'll take that as a yes. That's good to hear, Mel," Franky raises her bloodied hand and searches for Melina's face. Melina quickly grabs Franky's hand and places it on her cheek.
