The Savage

I know her as the unconscious girl I found bleeding out on the locker room floor.
I got her help. I saved her life.
The next time I see her, she makes it clear she wants nothing to do with me.
Too bad. I didn't go through the trouble of saving her life just for her to throw it away again.
She doesn't know it yet but I'm about to be her new best friend.
The Savage contains found family, trauma bonding, who-did-this-to-you vibes, a protective hero, he falls first, parental issues, and sports romance. Intended for mature listeners.
