Lost My Mind // l.h

Chapter 7

Waiting another 10 minutes After calming myself down as much as I could, I mean I did just witness someones head being blown off. I pushed myself up poking my head up just to be sure 'he' had disappeared, climbing over the bin I jumped to the damp floor my converse creating a slapping sound, heading straight up towards the light and the many various people, I peak my head out unsure whether the murderer and his friends were gone. As far as I could see they where.

The reflection of the full moon bounced off the top of a car nearby, it was the only source light visible from where I was running. Flickering of the orange lamp posts made me feel like this wasn't real only a dream. I pinched myself to be sure, but no. This was no dream.
The shock hindered my running greatly, each and every limb was turning turning to jelly. I started to panic, almost forgetting where edeles apartment was. Images of the murder running through my mind creating a swarm of butterflies in my stomach not the good kind. I felt as though the world was against me, a heavy weight upon my shoulders dragging down.

I was breathing heavy my breath visible due to the coldness hitting my pale face. My vision blurred as my head started to spin, the world only seemed to be getting smaller. I stopped leaning against the wall beside me, only to gather my thoughts not that there was a lot I was thinking about.

I took my hair into my hands and the hair bobble on my right wrist and quickly through my hair up. Shaking my head I ran again knowing that was the only choice, heading down towards Edele's apartment it seemed as though it was only getting further away, forcing my limbs just the edge more I made it. Pressing Edele's apartment number I wait apprehensively after what feels like 5 minutes she answers.

"Yeah, who is it" Edele snapped

"Edele...let me in." My voice quivered

"No" she hissed "why don't you piss off, you don't seem to bleeding my company" her voice blunt

"No. You do t understand.. Please let me in." I look around hesitant "please" I whisper gently

Sensing my tone she buzzes me in, I ran through the door and headed for the elevator. Pressing the button frantically and multiple times the doors slide open only to come face to face with one of them. His eyes open in reconciliation knowing he has found me.

I dart for the stairs. How? Why? How did he know where I was. All I seem to be doing is running, I turn looking back at the red head his eyes focused on me. I keep running up the stairs careful not to trip knowing I have another 4 flights of stairs to climb.

My limbs aching. I feel the presence getting closer, pushing myself harder I finally came to edeles floor, darting down the hall I halt skidding on the floor. Bashing in edeles door

"EDELE please quick let me in!" I look down the hallway seeing the red head race round the corner

"EDELE!" I bash harder

The door opens causing me to fall forwards. I fly in slamming the door behind but only for it to be held open by his body. I push hard on the door forcing it to close, I look at edele for help, she's standing there terror in her eyes. But thankfully she runs over and helps. Slamming the door shut and locking it the door banging and moving slightly from the red heads body weight, I grab the set of draws beside the door and slide it across the floor in front of the door.

"We don't have much time. We need to get out of here now!" I rush out panicked looking over at the door seeing the wood already begin to break.

"What. Wait. Frankie what's going on!?" She grabs my arm "you ditch me and now your here with a red headed fucker who's trying to break my door and get you! What did you do!?" She shakes it

"There's no time to explain!" This was my chance to grab her arm and pull her towards the window. "Cmon!" She hesitantly follows

I slam the window up climbing out to the balcony edele following closely behind. I grab the top of the window about to pull it down till there's a massive crash. I jump looking through the door has been smashed down with two men entering, the red head and a muscular tanned black headed guy.

I slam the window down.

"Run!" I push Edele towards the ladder as we rush down.
