Our Happily Ever After Fantasy

Chapter 4

Sarah's P.O.V

I felt so tired and confused. My mind is filling up with thoughts and theories. I think it's some sort of portal that takes you into some kind of place. I don't know if it's just a dream or I'm just hallucinating. My stomach begins to rumble like a thunderstorm, I realize I haven't eaten lunch yet.

I walk over to our small fridge and opened the door, only to be greeted with 2 apples and 5 eggs. "Wait, what day is it today?" I say to myself as I walk over to our calendar on the wall. "Shit, it's Thursday. I forgot to go grocery shopping." I hastily grab my keys and purse and ran down the stairs.

--

I was breathless when I reach the entrance. The store is a 20-minute walk away from our apartment, but when you're as lazy as I am, you don't usually fancy walks or exercise. I slowly glide past each aisle trying to find the items I needed. I grab some frozen chicken pieces, 2 bags of chips, 2 bottles of soft drinks, various fruits and veggies and a few more essentials. I casually made my way up and down the candy aisle to see if Cadbury came out with anymore new chocolate flavours. 

I quickly step into the checkout line and was patiently waiting when I felt a trolley bump into my ass.

I quickly turn to meet a familiar face. Brown eyes, dark hair and that same cheeky smile painted on his face. He was wearing the usual jeans, cut off at the knees and a plaid flannel shirt. "Fancy seeing you here Jackson," he says with that same stupid smirk.

"Hood," I reply.

Julie's ex-boyfriend stands before me, pretending he never fucked our lives up. He is such a shithead. I give him one of my signature death-glares and turn away. "Oh, come on now. I'm just trying to be nice. You know you don't always have to be a bitch." Are you damn serious right now, I feel anger boil inside my veins as I slowly turn and wave my middle finger in his face.

--flashback--

I dragged my luggage up the stairs, excitement fills me as I see the familiar door. I had just gone to Thailand for a family vacation, it was so much fun but I missed Julie so much. I had just turned 18 so my parents let me move in alone with my best friend, whom they trust with my life. It wasn't just Julie I missed, my boyfriend Calum was going to visit next week and I'm more than excited.

I turn the keys to my apartment to find that no-one was home and dropped my bags and luggage on the floor as I copped on the couch. After 30 minutes of laying down and doing nothing I walked over to the kitchen counter to make myself some coffee, it was 8pm at night but I didn't really care. 

I waddled over to the coffee machine and made myself a nice cappuccino and grabbed a coaster. I was fully aware that it was a hot drink but I've really gotten into the habit of using coasters. I take my drink to my room and set it on the bedside table. I go back outside and rummage through my bag and take out my laptop and it's charger. 

I plop onto my bed, plugged the charger in and began catching up on The Mentalist. I watched silently while sipping on my coffee. I flew quickly through each episode and kept clicking next. I got up to the part where Jane proposes to Lisbon when my eyes darted over to the clock which now read 4:30am. Where the hell was Julie? Ehh she probably hooked up with some guy, she's a year older than I am so she can do a lot of things I can't. I love how she's carefree and shit but sometimes I'm worried for her.

I was just drifting off to sleep when I hear some noises coming from the room next to me. I rub my eyes and sat up quickly, forgetting for a second that Julie lives here too. I quickly got up and grabbed my scissors, thinking so thief was robbing us. "Shhhh you might wake up my roommate," a female's voice is heard through the door. 

What? Who was she with? I lower the hands that hold the scissors and push the door open. "What the fuck...CALUM?" as the words leave my mouth, I am both shocked and angry as the image that stood in front of me. My best friend was laying underneath my boyfriend. "Shit."

----

I grab the plastic bags of the hooks and began to jog to the door, only to have my right arm be pulled back. Calum holds my arms tightly as he looks into my eyes. "What do you want?" I spit into his face. "I just wanna know how Julie, and my favorite friend of hers are doing?" he whispers licking his lips. I push him off and the palms of my hand moves across his face leaving a nice red mark.

"You have no fucking right to talk to me, not after what you've done." And with that I turn away, making sure to whack my long hair in his face. I strut out of the store and started to jog home. It's almost dark soon, the dim sky looks so beautiful but I don't think you'd want to be out after dark in this neighborhood.

After 10 minutes of walking, I begin to have a feeling that someone was behind me. I spun my head around only to find a lonely street with no one there. Feeling a little terrified I began to sped up. Adrenaline mixed with fear rushes through my body as I recognize that I'm still 10 minutes away from my apartment. Just as I was about to turn the corner I feel a massive force pulling me backwards.

The next thing I know a hand covers my mouth and I'm dragged into a small alley. I try to pull free from the grasp but it was basically useless, the person, I'm assuming male had really big muscles and his grip on my mouth is making it really hard to bite him. Well even if I could bite him I don't think he'll feel a thing. 

I finally feel the grip loosen a little, I thrust my elbows into his stomach and took a shot at biting his arm. I hear him mumble something but I was too busy trying to gnaw myself free I didn't pay attention. He didn't move much but it was enough for me to push him away. Without another thought I threw the only thing I had near me at him. Groceries went flying, my bottle of coke hit him in the eye which seem to do the trick. 

I tried to run only to have him grab my leg which sent my body slamming into the ground. The impact of the fall was so hard I think I'm bleeding, however, I'm too numb with pain to notice. The man begins to crawl on top of me when I see another figure grabbing him off me and pushing him towards one of the bins. That was all I really remember before I blacked out completely.
