Submission saves

Chapter 1

Walking home alone is something I've been use to my whole life.
When I get home I'm usually alone till after 9. But by then I'm asleep.

My name is Emily, I've been on my own for as long as i can remember. My mom has never been here for me and i know she doesn't love me cause she's told me, I mean after all who could love someone who hates themselves?
I quit going to school because it soon became too much to bare, people always starting drama and i was only a couple months from graduating before the incident happened...After that everything just seemed unbearable.

Most of my friends forgot about me after the incident so i just keep to myself now. During the day I go into town, "Looking for trouble" my family says, but really it's just to get away from the real world. Most of the time I don't find the trouble, it finds me and i just accept it.

I walk into the night club and find my friends that have also dropped out of school cause they live a life like me, secluded and afraid. We spend our nights there drinking on the weekend. It's better than what we use to resort to.

I tell my friends I have to go to the restroom and they offer to come so i won't be alone but i really just want to get away from them for a couple minutes so i use the bathroom and when i come out there's a man sitting at the table. He wasn't there before. He's tall, muscular, and handsome with blue eyes and a dark shadowed beard. I keep to myself and keep walking back to my friends.

When i return they are ready to leave for the night and im ok with that, i couldn't stand being here any longer.
I start walking the alleys to home when a man steps out in front of me and pushes me against the wall
"Aren't you pretty?" He say's to me and I push him off the best i can but he doesn't budge then he starts putting his hand under my shirt and kissing me when the man from the club punches him in the face and causes the man to black out. I look at him "Are you following me?"
"No I just happen to see you and figured you could use a hand, But You're welcome"
"I don't need your help, I could've handled it on my own"
"He would've got what he wanted and then killed you, would you have wanted that?"

I don't say a word cause at one point and time that's exactly what i wanted.

"Well come get in my car and i'll take you home, you shouldn't be walking alone at night"
"But i should get in the car with a complete stranger who is following me?"
"I can see why you're skeptical but i did just save your life and why would i want to hurt someone as beautiful and harmless as you?"
"I don't know, Maybe you're a creep"
"Just get in the car, I promise im not going to hurt you"
"I don't even know your name"
"Jake, now get in the car..Please'
"Fine Jake, I'm Emily"
