I got off of work and walked out heading to my car. The parking lot was empty and so were the streets. I needed to pick up some flowers for Sariyah and some desert. I want tonight to be romantic. Dim lighting, strawberry covered chocolates, sparkling apple cider (since Sariyah is only 18), and a nice bubble bath.

I unlocked my car only to be pushed into my car door.

"What the hell!"

I turned around and this dark skin guy punched me in my stomach twice.

"Dude stop!"

He stopped and looked at me... I knew who that was. My best friend.

"I see your punk ass came back"

"Punk ass? Dude Micheal what's up with you? Look how about I explain everything to you about why I've been gone so long. What is your number?"

"Nah man"

He shook his head and walked away. That was weird.

Sariyah

I drove down the highway trying to get Joy to her grandma's house. Ron planned something special for us tonight and I have to get home quickly because he should be heading back from work by now.

I exited the highway and drove onto the streets of East LA. I laid back and cruised down the road.

Right behind me some one was tailgating me so I sped up... They sped up too. They had their high beams on which caused me to squint my eyes every time I looked in my side mirror.

I looked back and saw Joy sleeping peacefully in her car seat. This person behind me was still on my bumper. I continued to speed up but the car kept following me. Just then it hit the back of my car.

"Mommy..." Joy started to wake up.

"Baby hold on"

It was obvious that this person was following me and there goal was to hurt me.

The car hit me repeatedly after that causing me to loose control of the wheel and my car to spin out of control and crash into a wall.

My hands clenched on the wheel as tears streamed down my face. I sat back and ran my hands through my hair and wiped my tears.
