BIG things in a SMALL world #wattys2017

Today It is sunny and I have decided to see New York city, I take a shower and dress in something comfortable but cute, I grab my bag and head out the door.

I'm walking down the street and cross the road when a man yells at me, I turn around and see a cop heading in my direction.

"You know you cannot do that so I'm gonna have to insight you for J-walking"

"J-what?"

"Oh c'mon don't play stupid with me little miss"

"Little, who do you think you are to insult my shortness huh? I'd have you know I am cute size!" I yell at him

"Yeah so are fluffy bunnies"

"How dare you!"

"You're not from here are you?"

"No, obviously if I were I'd know what the hell your talking about"

He stands there and laughs at me making me tear up

"Oh shucks miss I didn't mean to make you cry"

He hands me a ticket and mumbles an apology before he bids me a good day.

Yeah right my day has just been ruined. Stuck in my state I wonder the streets and not pay attention to where I'm going, I notice its getting dark so I turn around and start back tracking.

I make it passed one block when I feel a fast tug on my bag as if someone is trying to take it. A few seconds later a man is trying to take my belongings and I react fastly.

I yank my bag back and as he flings towards me I sock him straight in the face and he let's go.

"Serves you right ya little punk"

I move to walk past him and he comes back and grabs me. He slaps me so hard I fall to the ground and let out a scream. People hear and see the comotion and sure enough the police have arrived.

I tell them there is no need for my statement as I just wanna go home but they take me to their station.

"Is there anyone you can call m'am to come and get you if not one of our officers can take you home?"

"I would like to call my brother please, if he's busy can I get a ride?"

"Sure thing"

I get out my bag and call Michael.

"Hello sugar how are you?"

"I'm fine are you busy?"

"I'm just in a meeting but its wrapping up why what do you need?"

"I'm at the police station" I start to sob

"WHAT" he screams

"I'll be right there sugar okay hold on"

About 15 minutes later he burst thru the doors with Phillip

"Sugar what happened ?"

I break down and tell him everything from the J-walking to getting mugged and he holds me as I sob.

"Stay right there okay, Phill will look after you, I'm going to talk to the cops"

"Okay" I whisper

I feel a heavy hand on my shoulder and I look up to see Phillip looking at me concerned.

"You okay sweetheart?"

"I am now, I didn't mean to ruin the meeting"

"Oh hush sweetheart it was over anyway okay. Now wipe those tears we got you okay"

"Okay"

A little while after the guys drop me back at the apartment, Michael was a little hesitant to go but I made him. Him and his friends were going to a club to celebrate because of a new deal they just landed.

I got ready for bed and munched on these American cheetos before sleep time.
