Siobhan POV (pronounced: shuv-awn)
Run.
That was the first thing that came to my mind, so that's what I did.
The air was cold and the alleyway dark, but I kept on pushing my legs to go faster, I glanced back they were chasing me.
"Get back here bitch!"
"Give us our money!" Seán and Conor shouted.
I was nearing the end of the long alleyway, my lungs burned and my legs felt numb but the adrenaline kept me going. I had to get away from them fast, who knows what they'd do if they caught me. Seán and Conor were two dodgy guys I got money off of, my parents had just recently been murdered they were the only family I had left that were close to me. I had no money because before my parents died they were scammed out of all their money by a fake company, they took everything after my parents died even the house and car. I decided to borrow some money from Sean and Conor who were part of a dodgy group from school that always lent out money, so I decided to hang out with them for a bit to get them to give me some, that's why I was in the alleyway to 'pay them back', ha like I had the money, I needed it to get a ticket to my grandparents house in mullingar. I just handed them an empty wallet and ran.
"Stop! Or I'll shoot!" Shouted Sean as I heard him cock the gun.
He wouldn't, would he?
Bang
The bullet scraped the ground near my feet.
"Shit" he mumbled
Bang
This time I could feel I it just about scratch my arm.
"Fuck" I hissed, there was iron fencing in my path at the end of the alleyway, I hastily scrambled over it and jumped down. I ran out onto the footpath and down the street, as I was running I heard sirens and saw blue lights speeding up the road. Someone must have heard the gun shots.
I looked back and saw Sean and Conor running the opposite direction to me. They must have given up on me and ran from the police instead. Sneaky little bastards.
I slowed my pace down to a walk and caught my breath, I went into my favourite cafe and sat down in the back corner and ordered a coffee, I would need the energy.
I would stay in a hostel tonight as Sean and Conor knew where my apartment was, and I'd get the train to Mullingar tomorrow.
Ding
I checked the text I got.
You can run bitch but you can't hide forever we will find you.
- Conor
I locked my phone, put it in my pocket and walked out after paying. I had to get that train, now.
-------------------
I was currently on the train to Mullingar, no longer with long, wavy, blonde hair and green eyes, I now had long, straight dark brown hair and blue eyes. Before I got on the train I bought some hair dye and contacts then dyed my hair in the bathroom at the shop, I couldn't have those two finding me.
-------------------
I got of the train, it was now early morning and I could smell the fresh country air and cut grass, just the same as when I visited when I was a 8, but that was 10 years ago now. I used to love it down here with my grandparents, sipping lemonade on the front porch, playing in the field with my friend Haley and Niall, I wonder if they still live down here.
I got a taxi to my grandparents house which was about an hour away from the train station.
I stepped out of the taxi and watched him drive away into the distance, I turned around and stood in front of my grandparents house. It was now 11:30am Grann was probably making tea for herself and Grandad. I pressed the door bell and waited for a good 30 seconds and was about to ring again when the door swung open abruptly.
"Siobhan!" Squealed Aisling (pronounced: ash-ling)
"Hey Aisling, great to see you again" "not" I mumbled
"You look so different, why'd you dye your hair? omg are those contacts?"she said in an overly excited voice
"Yeah, just decided to change things up" I said blankly
"Ehhh... No offence but I preferred the old look..."she said cautiously
"Oh hahah, I could say the same for you"
"Yeah, just decided to change things up" she said mimicking me
Wow that bitch has gotten even more bitch if possible. The last time we saw each other was when we were 15 and to say she has changed would be an understatement. The girl I used to know was shy, a bit chubby, had a short strawberry blonde bob and glasses and was into flowery dresses and dolls, but the girl in front of me had long bleach blonde hair, caked on makeup, no glasses, was stick thin and had a belly ring which was visible from her denim booty shorts and low cut crop top, she was also at least two inches taller than me in her black heeled ankle boots, but she was still that bitchy cousin I knew.
I walked into the sun room and saw Grann and Grandad sitting on armchairs in the sun.
"Hi Grann and Grandad, long time no see" I said as I hugged them tight.
"Siobhan what a surprise, it's nice to see you here again" said Grann
"Yeah just decided to stay for a awhile if that's alright, it's been hard after the accident" I explained
"Of course dear" said Grandad.
I went into my old room and unpacked my things.
I laid on my bed and sighed,
Safe at last, but for how long? That was my last thought before drifting into a much needed sleep.
