John listened to him, he was not planning to speak until Jim finished, and the more he listened the more he cared and the tighter he hold Jim, not too tight to hurt him though, just tight enough to let him now that he was there for him. A friend. A brother.
"Let me guess, two grown up men confident about themselves and their strength, taking you to a corner, making you feel like a useless piece of scum, finding a way to hurt you and the others just for pleasure. Threatening to take the only light of hope and happiness that you have left, feeling alone, and scared you can look for any other answer, you believe their words...you see how sick and true evil in their eyes, you can't think, you can't plan, you can only act. You are forced to act in a way because...you feel as if your strength is not enough, suddenly you feel completely weak, without an escape, and without no one to help you. Am I wrong?" he said as he placed a hand on the boy's head looking once in a while to him, feeling his own words and the pain it can even cause.
"Now calm down, calm down" he said as he noticed the change of tone in Jim's voice, "I'm sure she's alright, you're here...she must be somewhere safe at the moment and probably worried about you...but you must be calm if you want to see her, calm and...clean" he said. He then widened his eyes for his question, the only thing John could do was to think of theories, "Maybe...perhaps it was because you let your anger, frustration and sadness go away in a way that...well, wasn't the proper one. Is like when you get in a fight, for whatever reason a part of you is relief while the other part of you regrets it" he said trying to help he rubbed Jim's arm with a hand in a friendly and comforting way as he looked down to the teen with saddened eyes.
