Cara

*⚠️* TW : contains some scenes that some may find disturbing *⚠️*

After dancing the night away and getting a few drinks for our annual girl's night out. Violette, Davina and I sat in a booth slightly tipsy with the strong sensation of rosè red wine running through our veins.

My phone vibrated nearly jolting me out of my seat. As i took my phone out of the front pocket of my mini skirt. An exasperated sigh slipped out of my mouth through an irritated grunt and a bombastic side eye.

"Car?" Davina looked over my shoulder clearly voicing her concern arching one of her brows with a look of concentration. "What's up?"

"It's him again" I showed her and Violettle the cryptic text messages from the random guy I met online and had casual sex with.

Vio's mouth fall agape in pure shock staring wide eyed at the messages. "Carl, what a prick!" She covered her hand over cheek lowering her voice.

Dav put her hand underneath her chin dumbfounded. "But I thought you blocked his number and unfollowed him on Instagram?"

I put my phone against the table frantically shaking my head. "I did but he's made multiple burner accounts on instagram and now he won't stop messaging me every hour of the fucking day"

"You have to call the police, Cara" Violette demanded in a stern tone folding her arms across her chest. "God knows what he's capable of!"

Davina nodded brushing back one of her long raven curls out of her face. "She's right he sounds like a completely bloody lunatic. Just reading those disturbing texts he sent you gives me the creeps"

The girls were right. Carl was a lonely creep who needed to be locked up and put in jail.

I wished I had never met him to begin with. Let along sleep with the guy I barely know.

Maybe he wasn't as innocent as I was. I wouldn't even put it pass him if he had done this before with other girls before meeting me.

Let's put all that aside for now.

I had to put an end to this once and for all before it was too late.

A few moments later

Dialling 999 I waited outside sat with Davina and Violette at the bus stop shivering our arses off in the freezing cold.

As Camden Town resembled a stereotypical ghost town from a chilling horror film.

"Any luck, Car?" Violette asked tilting her head to the side and running her hand through her long chestnut brown hair.

Exhaling a deep breath I hang up the phone in frustration. "Take a guess" Once my anger took over me I slammed my phone inside of my handbag.

"I'm so sorry, Cara" Davina reassuringly rubbed my shoulder in an to attempt calm my nerves. "This is fucking ridiculous" She scoffed nearly on the verge of losing her nut.

Violette grabbed a hold of my hand resting her head upon my other shoulder. "The police are never there when you need them!" She pointed her middle finger above the air blankly cursing out our "quote on quote" trusted and loyal British police force.

Yeah

Right.

Trusted.

And.

Loyal.

My.

Ass.

Davina and I chuckled in unison which helped lighten up the mood.

"Thanks guys" I beamed intwining my two best friends into a lovingly embrace.

We pulled apart from one another as a bright glowing car light appeared out of nowhere straight into our direction.

A masked figure shot through the driver's window frantically steeling their sliver Volkswagen.

Breaking the glass out of the bus stop scaring the shit out of us all while we screamed out a horrific scream.

In utter panic Davina, Violette and I made a run for it doubting the attacker's gunshots.

Just as we thought that was the end of it. The unknown assailant sped up on the main road on our tails.

"Don't look back you guys" I bellowed out running for dear life glittering tears below my cheeks. "Keep moving!"

Violette and Davina trailed on running through the street although the two of them were out of breath.

I stopped for a moment to collect my thoughts in a chipper demeanour. "If you think about it you guys this is like doing PE again" I wiped away my tears against my buttoned down white blouse, chuckling.

The taillights brightly glowed towards me as the attacker put their foot on the gas.

And before I could think fast on my feet. I was struck down and levitated over the car's bonnet in a flash.

"Cara!" Violette and Davina chorused in tears stood safety on the placement helpless having to horrifically witness me get run over by a car.

That's all I could remember after that and then the whole world around me shattered into sudden darkness.

And in the blink of an eye this was the day that this unfortunate event had changed my life forever.
