A N N A

The past few days have been normal. Nothing has happened. But I'm scared. I know Jack is coming for me. Sam has been acting weird lately.

Something is going to happen, and it's going to happen soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sat in my car waiting for Sam to get out of Starbucks. He didn't like me to go there anymore unless I was getting drive through.

I plugged the AUX cord in my phone and played Bon Iver skinny love.

As I sang along to the lyrics, I heard someone knocking on my window. I looked over to see a guy wear a black hoodie.

I rolled down the window just a little.

[ I would never do this. But this isn't me so, why not]

"Um....y-yes?"

"Anna?" A familiar blue eyes met mine.

"Your still with Sam?"

"Yeah..why?"

"You should ask the question yourself. I told you to stay away from him. He's going to hurt you."

"How do you know this?"

"I just know...trust me."

And for some strange reason, I knew I would. Even from the start I did.

"Who are you?"

He looked at me. His eyes showed kindness, helplessness. He wouldn't tell me his name for the sake of my safety, I could tell.

I rolled down the window fully and he came closer to me.

"Why.....are you helping me? I don't even...know yo-"

Then he did the unthinkable.

He kissed me.

It didn't feel wrong. It felt right. It felt safe.

"You will find out later."

"Later? Wha-"

"Anna!"

We both turned. It was Sam. He was coming out with our drinks.

"Goodbye....stay safe." With that he kissed me on the cheek and left.

He...he kissed me. Twice

The car door opened and Sam popped into the car with our drinks.

"Who was that?" He asked sternly.

"Oh um, just a...old friend."I said as I nervously drummed my hands on the steering wheel.

"Oh."

"Yea." I cleared my throat.

"Uh thanks for the drink."

I grabbed my drink and started the car. I felt his eyes on me.

I can't tell Sam, he'd kill the both of us or worse, flip out and never let me go anywhere. I'm sorry, I'm trusting a total stranger.

I drove back to my house. It was silent the whole car ride.  Within minutes we arrived at my house. I turned off the car and turned over to Sam.

"Sam I-"

"I'm going home." He said as he got out the car and into his car then drove away.

He doesn't believe me.

An:/ srry fries that this was shitty but eh.
