"I can't," he said.
His words dropped like ice-cold water poured on Omar. The hallway became silent.
Tears streamed down Omar's eyes. Hearing Nathaniel refuses his request blatantly he lost his mind.
Thud.
Omar hit his hand angrily at the wall next to Nathaniel's ears. "Arghhh," Nathaniel screamed.
Noam felt the fear coursing through his body. He felt Nathaniel being threatened, and without wasting a single moment, he sprinted on his feet to where Nathaniel was.
With his speed, it took him no time to arrive at the scene. His eyes widened with shock upon spotting Omar. The threat Omar issued echoed in his mind, and his instincts kicked in.
He rushed over, grabbed Omar by the hand, and twirled him around away from Nathaniel. Every ounce of blood in his veins was concerned for Nathaniel. His heart was racing, pumping faster worried Nathaniel might have been hurt.
