A week pass after the match and I still can't shake the memory out of my mind. There are times where i find myself recalling the events that happened after the match. I haven't seen Auden much after the incident. Josh seems to be busy with parties too. I haven't shared what happened after the match with anyone and I feel like I am hiding something when I see my friends. If I tell them I will have to tell them how I know him and how he made my every single day a nightmare.
The match has been the topic of discussion for the past few days. I walk out of my classroom to keep my books in the locker. As I pull out my phone I notice two messages from Josh.
Josh-
"Hey!"
"Are you free this evening?"
Me-
"Nah I have shift today:( "
I reach the cafe a bit early so I take my time to change and help Jamie to rearrange the pastries. She asks me about the match and she says she has always been interested in football but her husband is a fan of basketball. And how they used to have silly fights on that.
It's nearly time for my shift. I head to the counter and start to take their orders. I meet a few of our frequent customers and serve them their usuals. Time goes on and on and its nearly time to close the shop. After closing the shop we clean the place. That's our favourite part of the day cause we can have the place to ourselves.
"Are you done with the tables." Jess asks me.
"Yes" I say.
"Let's change then" she says and I nod and head to the rest room to change.
We both change and walk out of the cafe. "Are you taking the bus?" she asks me as we step to the pavement.
"No I am walking today" I say and wave her goodbye.
I take my phone and open the maps. I know my way to my apartment but yesterday I saw a shortcut and it saves me 10 minutes of the walk.
After 5 minutes my phone is telling me to take the shortcut which is an alley way. I have two choices to take the shortcut and save ten minutes or take the main street and walk for an extra 10 minutes. Obviously I choose the first option What's life without risk I think. More than that all I want is to get home early so that I can have a hot shower and go to bed. The Alley is bit dingy and dark. It's a reminds me of the scenes in horror movies where they have to walk through a dark road like this one...and it is not helping. I am Halfway there and there is no turning back I say to myself as I am regreting my decision.
"Are you lost sweetheart" I hear a voice behind me. I could feel his breath on my ear, my skin crawls under his presence. I take a few steps ahead and turn to see a man in his late thirties. He is wearing shaggy clothes and has a long beard. I notice it has what looks like foam of a drink on his beard. As I run to the opposite direction i hear him laughing and I hear another voice in front of me saying "don't be scared we won't hurt you". Another person comes to view and he is blocking me, so that I won't be able to run that way. "let me go" I shout at them. I hear more laughter coming from all the sides. As I look around me I see another two men joining them. I am being cornered by those men in every direction.
"You can't go this soon" says one of them.
"LEAVE ME ALONE" I shout at them.
"Mmm. Fiesty I like it" says one.
"We didn't drag you here, you came to us" says the guy I first met.
Panic is raising in my chest and I feel tired after shouting and running and my head feels dizzy already. I'm stuttering with panic. Tears are threatening to spill and what can I do.....
"I.. I'm new here... I didn't know. Please... please let me go." I plead again.
"New here you say, that makes it even better isn't it Richard?"says one of them addressing the person I first met.
"If mon... money is what you want I can give you that. Please let me go. Please"
I hear them laughing. "It isn't about money sweetheart."says Richard.
"Jace" he calls one of them. "You have the stuff, don't you?"
"Yes, but they aren't the strong ones" comes the reply.
"How disappointing. Anyway we can give this missy here a taste of pleasure she has never experienced in her life." Says Richard coming closer.
"Please" I beg stepping back to keep distance between us,
I can feel tears trickling down my face.
He then grabs my chin and brings his face closeer to my lips. I try to fight it but he is way stronger than me. My face is inches away from his. His bloody eyes are staring at my lips.
"I can't wait to see this lips do sinful things." He says and let go of me with force that could have made me fall, but I some how manage to stand up.
And that's when I notice two beam of light moving closer and closer at the end of the Alley way. "Someone's coming" I hear one of them say. This one person grabs me by my wrist and pulls me back. His nails are digging into my skin and his grip is so tight that I can feel pain building up. As I try to fight them off me and shout for help another person comes and silence me by pressing their palm to my face. I grasp for air in between the struggle. I find that I am being pulled behind a wall so whoever it is doesn't see me. I hear the car pass us and I feel betrayed. Betrayed by the only hope that was left. I feel my eyes wearing out with all the tears and pressure. My face is wet with my tears and my hair is sticking to my face. My both hands are under the grip of a man. And another man is pressing their palm on my mouth. Even my cries are being silenced or may be its just the thought that crying can get you no where.
I hear something. The same sound....
I notice a gap on the wall and I make obscure efforts to look through it. It's the same car and it's reversing.
wait! That car.... I have seen it before. I know that car.
The car comes to full view and then it hits me like a truck
That... that black....
That BLACK FERRARI.....?
