Alexa's POV
"Hey, where are you going?" Crystal asked as she was laying on the couch watching TV just as I was heading for the door.
" I'm just gonna head out to buy some food since the fridge is literally empty, be back in 2 or 3 hours" I told her as I grabbed my boots and putting it on.
" Okay then don't forget to buy some chocolate" she grinned. I nodded while smiling back and left for the door.
It was about 5 or 6 in the evening as I make my way down the apartment stairs. I couldn't stand being cooped up in the apartment the whole day especially when was in THE New York City so decided to walked around a bit.
Me and Crystal have known each other since 4th grade and been best friends ever since. Now we're 18 years old living as roommates in a small apartment in New York City.
Since my parents were out travelling the world and her parents were in Australia they trusted us enough to let us live and work in another country by ourselves, well the only reason my parents agreed was because I told them that I wasn't going to be alone and that I had Crystal with me.
It took begging, bribing and a million times asking for them to finally say yes and I couldn't blame them for worrying, ever since my cousin Cameron died. He was like a brother to me and we were really close even though we were 4 years apart but then he went missing and 2 weeks later they found his body. His parents couldn't even come to his funeral at the same time since they were divorce when he was 12.
I remembered I cried so much on that day, not at the funeral since I didn't like crying in public but whenever I was alone I would cry for him, at night I would think about the fun times we've had, since I was an only child he was the closet to being a brother to me even though he was my cousin and our dads were brothers. But that was 2 years ago and I still think of him every day......
***********************************************
I live in New York City and was a part time artist and part time waitress in the café. Crystal also work as a part time waitress so we'd go to work together. But she has more free time than me since she has one part- time job so she'd be the one to cook and clean around the apartment which I'm glad because I hated that stuff. By the end of the month we had just enough money to pay the bills, go shopping, buy food and etc. We both had some money our parents gave us but we never spend it unless it was an emergency. We've only just moved to New York City 11 months ago so far I've enjoyed every moment of it, NYC was the city of my dreams and I've always wanted to live here ever since I was 9 years old.
As I walked further away from the apartment building carrying only my wallet and phone, I heard a loud banging noise coming from the street corner, the walls on each side were made out of bricks and ground were pretty old and dirty I couldn't see farther down the path since it was a bit dark, it was one of those street corner where everyone would stay away from but I was curious, sure it scared the heck out of me but if I don't go check it out it will probably haunt my dreams until I die.
what if someone was hurt?
I couldn't just not check it out, I knew it was a stupid idea and nothing good will come of it but if someone was really hurt I could help them beside I'm probably the only one who would ever consider going into that creepy street corner, what can I say I like to look for adventures but they always turn out to be nothing but trouble.
Suddenly a gun shot went off and broke my train of thoughts, my eyes widened and without thinking I ran into the street corner and hid behind a huge garbage bin. I watched as a guy who seem to be wearing what seem to look like an expensive suit was holding a gun in his hand and was pointing at some guy who was lying on the ground too exhausted to move with blood all over his mouth and arms with scratches and bruises all over while the other guy who was wearing black jeans and plain white shirt was punching the life out of another guy. There another two lifeless bodies lying on the ground beside them.
" Bang!"
a loud gun shot went again and this time I saw everything it was from the guy with the expensive suit, he just shot someone who was helpless lying on the ground. He killed someone, that guy just murdered someone and I just witnessed it. I was shocked. Without thinking I let out a scream but jumped up and quickly covered my mouth letting out a gasp noise hoping they didn't hear. But it was too late they heard it, the moment I let out a scream all eyes turned on me. My hands tighten around my mouth, my eyes widened just staring back at them not being able to move.
'Run'
'Run you idiot'
But my feet stayed frozen on the ground.
Then one of them step forward making his way towards me, it was the guy with the expensive suit. But before I could watch him take another step I turned around and ran as fast as my high heel boots could allow me but before I could exit the street corner, a strong cold hand gripped my wrist pulling me back. I tried to struggle away from him but it was no use he was no doubt much stronger than me.
" LET ME GO! HELP, HELP!!!" I called out but I knew it was useless.
Suddenly I felt a cloth covering my mouth, the smell was intoxicating
That's because its drugged
I tried not to breathe it in and kept struggling as hard as I could with one of my hand gripping his arm trying to pull his hand away from my mouth but the cloth over my mouth just kept pressing harder and harder against my mouth until I had to take a breathe in. I could feel myself getting dizzy and my world darkening as the drug starting to take effect, my body began to weakened but before I could drop to the ground I felt two hands picking me up and carried me bridal style. Before I blacked out completely I heard
'Now what am I going do with you?'
the voice was in a whisper but it makes shivers running down my spine.
