Escaping Hell

What's Up Part 2

*a week later*

Asia POV

Im currently walking home at 11 o'clock at night. My shift is finally over and Im more than ready to jump in the bed. I get the sudden urge that somebody is following me so I begin to slowly pick up my pace, Im trying not to seem frightened. When people look scared they instantly become targets. As Im walking past a glass window, I begin to look at the reflection behind me. I see a person with a hood on. *Okay I got to get a plan together... I should text Brandy that im coming to her house because she lives closer, If the person grabs me from behind I have to kick them where the sun don't shine and run. I cant stop running, Brandy's house is two blocks away... I can do this.* I begin to swiftly take out my phone and text Brandy. She instantly reply's with an "Okay". I hear the footsteps getting closer and faster. I quicken my pace once more. Next thing I know giant hands tightly grip my arms pulling me back sending me flying in the air. Once my feet hit the ground I swing my legs backwards, the man groans in pain but doesn't let go of me. I begin to panic but soon I remember the knife tucked in my jeans.

???-"Girl if you don't stop moving I will snap your neck." his alcohol stained breath hits the side of my face like a punch.

I pull my arm down with all my might hoping this man looses his grip.... he does! I quickly slide the knife up out of my jeans and stab the man in his chest. I begin to slice his throat as I' slicing blood begins to splatter all over me. I watch him fall to his knees gasping for air. Seconds later he collapse on the ground taking his last breaths, I pull his hood of to reveal his face. I begin to feel light headed at the sight of the appears before me.... Brandy's uncle. He takes one last breath and stares straight into my eyes. The fact that I just killed someone hits me like bricks, tears trail down my face like a flood. I take off running as if my life depends on it, I keep running until I reach Brandy's apartment building. I ring her buzzer nonstop frantically. The door unlatches and I take off up the steps. I turn down a slender hallway and race to her door. I begin banging until the door opens.

B-"Asia what is wrong??!"

I collapse into her arms and repeat I'm sorry over and over again. She brings me inside sitting me on the couch. I cry for about 10 minutes.

B-"Asia babe, talk to me"

A-"I was w-walking h-home and I t-t-thought someone was f-f-following me. That's when I-I texted y-you. the person g-grabbed me. W-we fought for a b-bit until I grabbed m-my knife ad stabbed and and S-sslit the m-mans throat. "

B-"It's okay Asia. You were defending yourself. I'll call the clean up crew I'll be right back"

A-"But But"

Before I can finish she left out the room. I take deep breaths to try and calm myself. I said I would never kill anyone, and I did. But I can say that I will never do it again... it's wrong to take peoples lives away. Brandy walks back in the room.

B-"They said they will take care of it. Now why where you saying sorry you did nothing wrong."

A-"Brandy the person I k-killed was your uncle. I didn't mean to kill him. I-I didn't even know it was him until after I did it. I was just trying to get him off of me. Please don't hate me, I know he was the only family you had left. I didn't mean to take that away from you."

She just sat a stared at me. I can't read her emotions because she just sat there expressionless. Next thing I know she just hugged me. Im sitting here confused as hell. She let go of me

B-"I know it's wrong to say this but I'm glad you killed him. You just lifted a big weight off my shoulders. I didn't want to tell anyone this but last night he stole most of my money I ha saved up and spent it he came back and raped me again. I thought that I would never be able to get away from him. So than you, thank you for finally setting me free. I've felt like that mans slave, I thought I would never get away. I think your my living guardian angel, I can never repay my debt to you." by now we are both in tears
