His Eyes

Chapter 1.

*Three Months Ago* <Elizabeth Rose Gomez>

~New York City~

     I locked my apartment door, and hurried out, going through three doors and a lock pad, I was on my way to the store three blocks away. I moved out here a year ago, well fully moved out here, and was loving it, I had just graduated from New York University. I loved it out here, and decided to stay out here, of course I miss California dearly, but New York has a different feeling, and I know there's more out here than meets the eyes. Hearing cars honking, kids running down the sidewalk, dog barking and the sun shining. The neighborhood I grew up on was so quiet, so silent and the morning breeze was refreshing but New York was something else that I can't explain. "Ellie, darling! You are looking so beautiful!" I turned and saw Mrs. Kellies, an elder I helped bring in her bags full of groceries in. "Hi, Mrs. Kellies! You look amazing as well!" I waved at her, and she waved back. I kept walking along, until a basketball rolled in front of me, "oh, I'm sorry ms Ellie." I picked up the ball and looked up. "Hey, Jude, it's okay. Here you go." I handed him the ball; he thanked me and ran off with the rest of the kids. Yeah, I absolutely would never want to leave. I passed by vendors, store clerks people walking by and crossed two streets, until I finally made it. 

    I walked in, and waved hi to the store clerk here, "hello, Ellie! It's so nice to see you after a while, hun!" He walked around and gave me a small hug, "Hey, Mr. Cheng." Hun Cheng, another elder I got to meet after a while, he actually helped me with a guy that wouldn't leave me alone and scared him off. "Is Mrs. Cheng here today?" His wife, she told me I reminded her a lot about her daughter when she was younger. "Nope, not today, sadly. She woke up with a bit of a cold. Huey is with her right now." Their son, who is nine-teen, "oh, no. Well, send her well wishes from me, please." I told him and he nodded his head. "Of course, I will." I got my drink; a couple snacks since I got food for the week on Friday. I paid, said bye to Mr. Cheng and walked out, I was focusing on the people walking around me, until I heard a car screech, I turned, and a car was driving very fast, I looked to the streets and a guy was walking, "Watch out!" I yelled out to him, he looked over at me, but it was too late, he was hit, the car drove off, fastly. I hurried over, picked his head up, and the guy was out. "Shit" I tried to reach my phone, but the guy was heavy and was groaning in pain. "Relax, you'll be okay." I looked up, and Dave, the butcher from next door came running to me. "Ellie, are you alright? What happened?!" He got my phone from my bag, and called the ambulance. "Ugh." I looked down and he was going to close his eyes. "No, no. Please stay awake." I lightly tapped his cheek. "Oh, shit." I heard someone yell out, "Damian!" I looked up and it was two guys. One went down his knees, moving him away from my lap. "Who are you? What happened?!" The other asked me, and Dave, but Dave was still on the phone. "Um, I'm Ellie. Someone did a hit and run on him." I stood up.

  After a while, an ambulance arrived, one guy went with them, while the other stayed with me and Dave, "thanks for your help, Ellie. I'm Dom." We shook hands and he was off, and I turned back to Dave. "I hope he makes it." Dave gave me a soft smile, "you and your soft heart, darling. C'mon, off the streets now." He led me away, and I started walking back to my apartment. The guy on my mind; I hope he's okay. As much as I do love New York, stuff like this do happen, this is my first time seeing someone get hit right in front of me. Oh well, I just wish him well and a speedy recovery. I put my snacks away, and my drinks. I put on music, and cleaned a bit, to have a refreshing feeling for the new week. But ever since that day, I have felt eyes on me, almost at all times.....
