8h20m (8:20 in French)

Maggie's POV ♡

We walked quietly down the empty streets of California. I would occasionally see Carter look over at me & look away. I just ignored it & kept walking. I saw him look over at me again so I stopped walking & turned to him. He looked at me & wiped sweat from his forehead with the back if his hand.

"Why do you keep staring at me?" I asked him with my head tilted. He raised his eyebrows & laughed.

"Is that really why we just stopped? So you can ask such a petty question? We're waisting time, Maggie." He said before shaking his head & continuing to walk. I looked at the back of his head with pure annoyance.

"I fucking hate you already." I mumbled before looking at the ground & beginning to walk. I stopped when I bumped into his chest.

"What the fuck did you say?" He said while walking towards me. I backed away in another direction & shook my head.

"Nothing." I sighed but he wasn't going for it. My back hit a brick wall of a building & he stood front of me. His body was pressed against mines & chest heaved up & down. He gripped my neck & begin squeezing lightly.

"Tell me what the fuck you just said. You have a smart pretty little mouth & I would hate to bust it open." He said while running his thumb across my bottom lip. I struggled to breathe & tried to remove his hand from my neck but he wouldn't move. My eye sight was becoming blurry as I was loosing breathe so I raised my leg & kneed him in the balls causing him to fall to the ground. I fell too & gasped for air.

"S-Stupid bitch." He cursed & I laughed & coughed.

"Hush. You'll be alright. Get the fuck up & keep walking." I said while standing to my feet. He groaned, rolled his eyes like a little bitch & stood up. We begin walking in silence again & I just had the sudden feeling to look up, so I did. There was a person, a guy dressed in all black with an all white mask on standing at the edge on a building, watching us.

"Carter..."

"What bitch?"

"Carter look."

"What the fuck do you want?"

"Carter....." I looked behind us & saw like twelve other people dressed in all black following us slowly.

"Carter we're being followed." I said & he looked behind us. Once he saw all the people dressed in black, he turned to me with his eyes big & terror written all over his face.

"Run." He said before grabbing my hand & taking off quickly. As soon as we ran, gun shots were fired. I screamed loudly & sped up basically dragging Carter with me. My duffle bag wasn't weighing me down. I ran fast out of fright. I felt Carter let go of my hand so I looked back & saw he was out of breath.

"Carter please don't stop!" I yelled seeing the men in black catching up. He waved me away.

"Go on....without me. Im...out of... breath." He said & my eyes teared up for some reason. I hardly even know this kid & I don't want him to leave me. Everyone is always giving up on me. I'm not letting that happen this time. I ran towards Carter, grabbed his arm & begin running again. I could hear Carters heavy breathing behind me so I turned a couple corners, trying my best to lose those creeps. Once I reached near a lake, I turned around & realize they weren't there anymore. I dropped to my knees & worked on controlling my breathing. Once I could breath normally, I sat my duffle bag down & I walked over to Carter who was sitting a little farther away from me. I sat on my knees in front of him before speaking.
