Falling for you

Chapter 1

Lily 

Today will be a good day, i thought as i walk out of bed. Every since i moved here, everything was going great.  Got a small job at a local grocery store to save some money for college, it might take a few years but i'm willing to wait. Heading for the shower, i started getting ready for the day and put my work clothes on. 

'meowww' Bells comes to up to me gracefully and gently strokes my bare legs with her tail. "I know gorgeous, i'm hungry too" after her many pleads I head to the small kitchen and fix her food. Looking at the clock i notice i was already running late, I decide to skip breakfast and grab a coffee at work. 

'Alright Bells see you tonight' Giving her a kiss, I grab my keys and headed for the door. Stepping outside I notice the few clouds in the sky, thinking it might rain tonight when i notice my bus ready to leave. Not wanting to arrive late, i decide to make a run for it. 

Finally arriving at work, i walk up the little street where the grocery was. Kind off a random place to put a grocery really, i think out loud. As i open the door, the jingling of the bells ring, notifying Betty someone walked in. As i walk to the cashier, I notice Betty bent over looking for something.

'Hey Betty, you looking for something?' i ask curious. 'Oh hi Lily dear, yes i cant seem to put my hands on my glasses, i swear i put them somewhere here' i start to giggle and immediately spot them sitting on her grey hair. 

'Betty?' 'yes, dear' she looks at me and i point to the top of my head indicating that they were on hers  the whole time. 'Oh silly me, getting older by the minute' 'its ok, i'll start my shift right now, if thats alright' 

'That would be great, Im so sorry you had to come in early today, my nephew had to leave suddenly and you know i cant take care of this place all by myself' she explains 'Its totally fine, i have nothing better to do anyway. Oh and Bells says hello' Betty laughs softly 'How is she doing that old cat? Hope she isn't giving you too much trouble' now i was my turn to laugh 'no, not at all, its nice to have her at home' i smile. See when i first moved here, i didn't have anyone to rely on. When i asked for the job, Betty was kind enough to let me work during the weekdays and knowing i leaved all by myself, she offered I take Bells home with me so i would be alone. 

After our brief conversation, i head to the back of the cashier and start working. Around 9pm, i glance at the clock and noticed my shift has ended, and start to get ready to leave when suddenly my stomach makes noises indicating it was hungry.

'shoot, i havent eaten all day' that coffee this morning filling me up so much i completely forgot to eat lunch. guess i'll have to cook tonight or maybe i can take some takeout. 'asian does sound good right now' I put my sweater on and lock the door behind me when i notice its pouring rain. 'Fuck, really' i sigh to myself. i start walking in the rain into small alleyways heading towards the bus stop. 

As i turn around the corner, i notice the usually lamp posts aren't working, thats weird. Not thinking too much of it, i continue down the alley when i start to hear low voices. 

'Come on man, you know i'll give you the money. i always do, I just need more time' one man says'i dont give a f*ck, i gave you enough  time to pay me back. Now i want my money'a smooth voice says. Getting curious i cant help but slow down and eavesdrop their conversation 'you dont have to go this, please' the other pleaded ' any last words' the smooth voice adds. I cant help but gasp. Is he going to kill him? when all the sudden i hear a gun shot and the sound of a body hitting the floor. 'omg, i need to get out of here' i start backing slowly towards the end of the alley hoping the killer won't see me. 

'Hey, you. What the fuck do you think you're doing?' i hear a deep voice say and turn around to find a dark figure a few feet from me. 'nothing' i whisper and start running the opposite way. 'Fuck' i head the smooth voice say. I keep running when a large hand grabs my arm and pushes my against the wall. 'What is a pretty thing like you doing here?' the man says. I whimper and open my eyes and see a large man, his breath smelling of alcohol. 'please let me go' i whisper 'haha like thats gonna happen, i'm gonna have some fun with you first' he says 'No, let me go' i scream 'someone help' thrashing against his hold hoping to escape. 'Shut up bitch' he says and slaps my hard across the face. The blow was so hard it send me flying onto the ground.I lay there, my body hurting as the drunk starts lifting my shirt when i hear footsteps and a punch when I black out. 

Connor

'Fuck' turning away from the Bill and his bloody arm, he's survive i only shoot him to scare him. i start walking onto the main alleyway when i hear voices.

'What is a pretty thing like you doing here?' i recognize that voice, Richard who is always drunk is facing the wall holding someone against the wall. Not wanted to be noticed, i start heading the other way when i hear a scream 'someone help' shit its a girl. i turn around and hear a smack. Rich hits the girl across the face and she's thrown to the ground. Fuck, i may fucking shoot people but I'll kill the man i see laying his disgusting ass hands on a girl. I start walking towards them when i notice Richard lifting her shirt. That bastard. I walk up to him and punch him straight in the face. He was so hammered, he fell straight to the ground. 

Breathing heavily, I walk up to the girl and hold her in my arms. Pushing the wet hair off her face, i look at her . Damn he's gorgeous and small. Checking her pulse, i notice how cold she was. Knowing i cant leave her here, i pick her up and carry her in my arms to my car. I lay her down in the back sit and drive towards my apartment.
