Tormented Future

the new version of chapter one, sorry for the inconveinance, most of its the same ive added more detail. please comment and let me know what you think.

It’s another boring Monday at college; the weather is bleak as usual for the end of autumn in Whitehaven. Although my life wasn’t glamorous or anything special, the people in it where special to me.  I wasn’t the tallest person but I wasn’t all that short either. I’m a natural blonde, Blue eyes and really fair skin.

My life was ordinary; I had a family that I loved, a mum and a dad no siblings but I had plenty of cousins. I also had my friends, the people who have stuck with me through thick and thin. I was starting on the path towards my dream job.  The path I wanted so badly I wouldn’t let anything get in my way. That was until that one night that turned my life upside down.

“so your telling me if he was to ask you out you wouldn’t say yes?” My best friend Katie everyone always trying to fix me up with someone. She was talking about Jeff the most arrogant, self-centred guy in college, he was hot and he knew it too tall blonde and tanned with gorgeous blue eyes.  Jeff was one of my closest Friends and he was a great friend always there when you need him. Every girl stares at him, just to take a long look of him. I was one of them not that I would admit it not even to Katie who I trusted with my life. She was beautiful both inside and out, she had long black hair, dark complexion and brown eyes.

“ I don’t want to be distracted, I need to focus on  my work and my future. Besides him and Jennifer are meant to be together, they just don’t know it yet” I replied

“Ahhh! Maya your impossible, I’m going to give up trying to get you laid” Katie huffed. It was always the same, she would try to fix me up with someone and I would shoot it down, her fix ups never worked out with anyone and it was the one thing Katie was not good at.

After college finally finished, we all go back to Katie’s for a few hours for our usual Monday night catch up.  Our group of friends isn’t that big but we have our moments, there’s Me, Katie, Jeff, Jennifer, Adam and Kyle Katie’s brother.  There was a time that Kyle and me were together, and I thought I loved him but we realised what we had was just physical and without a word to each other it was over. It wasn’t what either of us wanted but we were still great friends. I always felt safe around him, I always felt safe in his arms but it wasn’t feelings towards him that made him special to me, it was the history between us, the fact that he was my first and there would always be something there for him.

While in Katie’s nothing unusual happens, we all talk about people in college and spread the gossip we heard that day, Jennifer and Jeff flirt with each other as usual and leaves the rest of us wanting to slice the sexual tension between them with a knife.

“You’re an idiot” shouts Jennifer as Jeff picks her up and throws her on the settee.

“You love me really Jen, just admit it” Jeff replies with his egotistic tone

“Only in your dreams je-”

“Just sleep together already” Katie says cutting her off. She said the thing we were all thinking and have wanted to say for almost a year now.  Me, Katie, Adam and Kyle all look at each other and burst out laughing as the looks on Jeff’s and Jen’s face was priceless, would have been an epic picture moment, if only I had a camera.  The room falls silent, and tension starts to build.

“Their sex is on fire” I sing in an attempt to lighten the tension in the room.

“Maya I’d rather our sex be on fire” Jeff Teases “we would be great together”

“It’s such a shame I don’t go for guys with a little one” I laugh

“Right that does it, I’ll show you little” he says as he heads towards me.

“We all know you have a little one Jeff but we would have to get the magnifying glass out to see it” I giggle as he lunges towards me and I dive out of the way laughing as he hits the wall.

“I give up” he says as he slides down the wall.

Jeff has always been a flirt, but Jen didn’t like that he was now flirting with me.  She knew I wouldn’t go there because I knew how she truly felt about him and she was one of my best friends, I couldn’t do that to her.

We chat and laugh about silly things for the rest of the night when I realise the time, I jump up saying goodbye to everyone as I head out the door to catch the last bus home.

They follow me to the door and Jeff, Jen and Adam all go their way home as they didn’t live far from Katie. I was the only one that had to take the bus home as I lived an hour away from everyone.  

Everyone lived on the real estate closest to town, where as I lived in a small part on the out skirts of town, where all your neighbours knew each other and they also knew anything that went on in each other’s houses, nothing was a secret where I lived.

Katie rings me every time I walk to the bus stop alone, which wasn’t that often.  Taking the rout I always take while on the phone to Katie, if I was walked to the bus stop I still had to text her to tell her I was on the bus and when I got home. I never had any minutes to make phone calls the only minutes I had was just enough to make a call to someone if there was an emergency.  I knocked Katie off the phone, and continued walking to the bus stop she called back and I answered, the moment I did a hand went over my mouth……

My scream muffled by my assailants hand, I started to panic, trying to think of a way out, hearing Katie screaming down the phone, I bit his hand to get it off my mouth “HELP!!” I yelled as I got out of his grasp and head towards the lighted street when someone would see me and hear me. I had reached the church; I had been to many times over the years, he grabbed me and pulled me down to the floor. Screaming for help again he puts his hand around my throat  making me choke on my words.

“Shut up you little bitch” he says

I kick and try to scream but his grip tightens round my throat. Still kicking to get free he takes put a knife and plunges it in to my thigh knowing I couldn’t even try to run with the pain or how deep the cut is, he takes the knife to my throat “ Don’t scream or I will kill you” he says deeply with joy and aggression.  He loosens his grip on my throat but his body is too heavy to get off.

“please let me go” I cry

“shut up” he shouts as he grabs my head and smacks it against the pavement.

I feel the sharp pain immediately I scream and he puts the knife to my throat which immediately shuts me up.  Tears strolling down me face as I cry with fear and pain, my vision starts to blur he rips my trousers and everything turns black.
