My feet are killing me, and my calves feel like they are getting tighter with each step I take. I don't even know where I'm going, hopefully, google maps is telling me the right thing and I will get home in...45 minutes.

If I had cash on me I could have called a cab or an Uber but I never have extra cash. Usually the money I get from work goes straight to paying the bills. I was actually able to afford an iPhone 4 when I saved up for couple of months.

I look down at my phone, I don't even know where I am but it leads to my apartment. I've been following this sidewalk for about 15 minutes now. I really need to exercise more, I'm getting tired of walking for 15 minutes.

Maybe it's these uncomfortable shoes. They are pretty worn out. They look like brown converse now not white.

Cars are still driving by, and I could hear the talking of old men by a liquor store. I jog around towards the back, I don't want to run into trouble. It's happened to me plenty of times already.

My phone says it's 10:17. I look up to capture my surroundings when I stop at a big field in front of me with a small park to the left and a soccer field way off to the right. I look back down at my phone it says to follow the road and go around but that just takes more time. I either take the long way and get home later or cross the field and get home quicker even though I've never seen this place before and I could get lost. I should just go the long way but I'm so tired. I'm glad today's Friday.

I'll just go through the field. I mean it's not like I'll get murdered in the small park or anything. Right?

I shake my head trying to get rid of my horrid thoughts. I finally decide to go through the field.

I ball up my fists making me myself look tougher and ready but inside I'm shaking like a cat just got out of the cold water. I jump up and down shaking my arms and legs. I have to stop being so scared. I'm Eliana Jameson! I could do this.

Just so I don't get murdered I'll run. I just love making myself feel better. Even though my feet are killing me I sprint as fast as I can.

I probably look like a crazy person running through this field. My feet feel even worse now. I'm halfway and I feel like my heart is pounding right out of my chest, my legs feel like they are going to give up on me any second, and chest is burning not helping with my breathing. Glad, I didn't join Track with Jeniah this year because I would have died the first practice.

Relief washed over me once I made it to the other side. I bend over with my hands on my knees trying to catch my breath. Once I finally caught my breath I stand up and pull out my phone. I press the button and get nothing but a black screen.

"You've got to be kidding me," I whisper to myself with worry evident in my voice. I begin to panic a little, I have no idea where I am and my stupid phone died.

If I go straight I might actually find a road I recognize. I push myself to keep walking, not only do my feet hurt but I'm so freaking scared.

The only sound that is heard is my footsteps on the cement and crushed rocks rolling around. Why isn't there any cars out here I'm not even in an ally but I am next to them so there should be cars driving by. I look around for any street signs but all I'm seeing is street lamps flickering and garbage bins lying on the floor with trash thrown all over the street. I get startled by what seems like two dogs barking a few houses down.

I hear a glass bottle shatter and I back up against the wall in the ally. It's completely dark but there's one street lamp on but flickering a bit.

I stay there for about 2 minutes trying to calm myself but not succeeding. I try coming up with plan, maybe I could go back to that liquor store and quickly go inside and call the police to come get me. Or I could-

I'm cut off by a high pitched scream but then it being muffled a few seconds later. Shit. This is what happens when I waste time. I keep my eyes closed hoping no one sees me. I didn't know where the screaming was coming from but once I it returned I realized the scene was only a few feet away from me. I look around he corner and what I see makes my heart drop.

My feet have somehow given up on me and now I'm stuck in my spot watching the horrifying sight of a man, a tall man, towering over a what seems to be a middle aged woman. She's mumbling things to him. "I-I'm s-sorry, I'll g-give you the m-money tom-morrow."

Run Eliana.

Run.

My voice inside my head won't stop yelling at me but I can't move. It's as if shock struck me and I'm frozen in my spot. But I'm more surprised by the fact that his face is as clear as the day. He was standing right under the street lamp and I was able to take in all of his features.

Dark eyes filled with hatred and anger, pink lips formed into a scowl, and eyebrows furrowed. As I look back into his eyes I see he already had them on me and our eyes locked. Everything was a blur and his lips were moving but I couldn't hear anything he was saying. The only thing I heard were Two gun shots and I see the woman collapse to the floor. He starts walking towards me and right then my brain actually starts working so I run. At least I try.

I made at least two steps before I felt a firm hand wrap around my arm pulling me into him. So much force was used, tears were beginning to blur my vision. Once I looked back into his eyes I could feel my tears now coursing through my cheeks. There goes me being tough and "not scared."

"Fucking shit, you're going to cause so many problems because you saw me." He angrily yells, pulling at my hair.

"I won't say anything please just let me go." I sob.

"Fuck.. I can't have you going around telling the police." His voice was much calmer, I think he was debating whether he should let go or kill me. "You're coming with me. Let's go." He demands pulling me by waist. Well never mind.

"No! Let me go!" I scream, I tried punching his chest to get out of this hold but then he raises the hand with the gun and at that moment I shut up and stopped my actions. Was he threatening to kill me? I don't know this guy so he would probably do it in a heartbeat.

What surprised me was that he didn't shoot me, he hit me. He hit my head with the gun but I couldn't even think before everything around me became dizzy and my knees hit the ground. The last thing I remember before I went into my deep sleep was an arm wrapping around my torso.
