BRIAN
I feel her soft hand in mine and I know that I will lay down my life for her. I will protect her with my life. I will kill these men with my bare hands if they even so much as look at her when I get the chance. Then I feel a slap through my face with the back of a gun. The pain feels like a burning coal in my face and then I hear the goon next to me say.
"No talking!"
I feel Lisa's hand holding tighter onto mine as if she wants to know if I am okay. I do not moan or show any pain and smile while I feel the blood running down my cheek.
LISA
I did not expect him to get hit. No one could even hear what he said. I can not stop the expression of concern that takes its place on my face. I am suddenly filled with anger that someone dared to hurt him in front of me but I know there is nothing that I can do about it. I see the blood and just want to take care of him and so I mouth to him without making a sound.
"I am so sorry"
