Nothing is going to happen to you. I'm here." He said as he held her hand as Marie saw and recognized him."Adrian? Is that really you?" She asked at the point of tears as Adrian nodded his head as he wiped her tears."Yes it's really me. I'm here. You don't need to fight again. I'll protect you. You are safe." He said as Marie allowed the tears to roll down freely as she cried and slumped into his arms allowing herself to be cradled.

He asked as she shook her head and said,It is my friends….They were saying mean things to me. She said slowly as Daniel frowned his face as he saw,Tell me, what are they saying?
