Louella looks down at her arm to see a cut spread right down from her elbow to her wrist, they're is specks of blood on the floor alongside the smashed glass. She had multiple missed calls from Anna. She slowly stood up and made her way to the door, she didn't have any shoes on. She left her phone sitting on the table and began to walk out the apartment. As she began to walk the streets of Chicago, she locked eyes with a man who looked around her age.
"You alright miss?" He asked in a Texan accent
She looked up towards the man
"Why don't you come with me? I can keep you safe?" He said as he held out his hand
Louella slowly took the man's hand and he lead her away...
The following morning, Louella woke up in a bed that was unfamiliar. She looked down at her hands which were covered in blood, she slowly got up. She walked to the nearest bathroom she could find, she closed the door to reveal her face in a mirror. Her eyes were the darkest colour of purple, her nose has dried blood around it. But there was only one thing on her mind
What the hell happened last night?
She slowly walked out of the bathroom to find an empty apartment which looked like no one had slept in it for years, she began walking outside, her clothes had been ripped at some point. She felt the stares of everyone who walked by her but she didn't look at anyone. Somehow she managed to make her way to the district.
"Louella?" Trudy asked, looking at her blood stained clothes
"I don't know what happened" Louella said before sobbing
"It's alright, let's get you into some new clothes" Trudy said as she guided Louella upstairs
Louella had been sat in an interrogation room, she has tried her best to recall the events from last night but it was useless, she just couldn't remember. She then heard a knock at the door, she looked up to see Anna
"I thought I'd drop by, how are you doing up?" Anna asked
"You don't need to pretend to care about me" Louella spat
"Lou" Anna sighed
Louella sat and fiddled with her hands, this was something she did when she was anxious and Anna knew that.
"You alright?" Anna asked
"Yeah, fine" Louella shook her head
"We both know that's a lie, talk to me" Anna smiled
"Just go okay? Your going to be late to your shift!" Louella raised her voice, looking at the clock
"I'm not leaving us like this, I did that yesterday and look what happened!" Anna argued
"God! Im just tired okay? I woke up in a random guys bed this morning and I don't know what he did to me or what I did to him! Or if anything even happened at all! Get off my back!" Louella yelled
"Woah, fine! Sorry for caring!" Anna yelled
Louella looked to the ground
"Look, I'm sorry. I'm tired, no one is telling me anything! I just need an hour to myself to try and wrap my head around everything" Louella admitted
"Alright, you have nothing to be sorry for. I'll leave you" Anna said as she walked out
Louella sat and stared at the wall, she felt numb. She didn't know if it was because of the amount of blood she had lost or if her brain just chose not to work. She felt like the world around her was moving but she was stuck, unable to move. But that same question played in her mind...
What the hell happened last night?
