Lies behind us

part 4 -friday-

Vic

It was a friday evening and I was just laying on my bed scrolling trought my phone hoping for something to happen.

Me and Julia agreed to start working on the history project on monday but thats honestly the only thing I had planed for the moment. Since dad was at work I was home alone and most of my friends were out of town for a consert that was held a few towns over.

I closed my phone amd burried my face in my pillow. It was too early to go to sleep and I wasn't even tired.

What do I do?

After a while I decided just to go out for a drive on my bike. I got up and changed to some cargopants and a hoodie. As I headed downstairs I grapped my helmet and keys and threw a leather jacket on just incase.

Julia

I was walking back home from Indys since I had promised to be home by 11. It had rained just a while ago so there were buddles every now and then on the sidewalk.

At the moment my parents were going trough a 'rough patch' in their marriage and I was scared that they were going to break up sooner or later.

Cought up in my toughts I didn't notice when some guy had started to follow me but I knew that he had been there for a good while by now. I tried to walk faster but not run which turned out to be harder than I tought when anxiety started to take over. I still had at least a 15 minute walk over to my house but I didn't want to lead him directly to my house.

After few minutes he was still following me but now getting closer and closer every step he took. I was pretty sure that he was following me at this point so I turned to left to take a curse to the busier area of the town hoping to find more people to stay safe.

Now I was walking past different shops and butiques passing people praying that the man who was following me would give up but for now he was still following me from distance.

I checked the time and it was 10.57.

Shit.

There were No way that I'd make it home before eleven o'clock. My parents will be so mad but that was the last thing I had to worry about. The man was still following me and it had been over 20 minutes.

Out of nowhere I felt someone grap my wrist. I turned around and saw that man as well as two others looking back at me. I tried to free myself from his grip without succsess.

"Are you scared little mouse?" The man holding my arm asked me with a grind on his face. "Walking alone at night as such a pretty young girl is dangerous don't ya think?", asked the one on his left staring at me smiling.

"Let me go." I said but it only came out as a whisper.

A pathetic whisper.

"Or what, are you going to cry? Are you going to start screaming for help? No one can hear you scream from here".

That was true. We were past the main area and there were No People around us anymore.

"Oh here you are! I've been looking for you everywhere", I heard someone say behind me. I turned to look and saw Vic walking towards us from the shadows.

"Who are they? Do you know them?", she asked while making eyecontact with me before turning to look at the guys who went quiet after she reached us. She was way taller than any of the guys and the shadows casting on her face by the streetlights made her almost expressionless face look quite indiminating.

"No", I replied to her question even thought it came out barely louder than the whisper before.

"Then why are they here?", she asked directing the question more to the guys than me. The guy holding my arm let go of me and and took a step towards Vic.
