Heathens

I heard footsteps coming from behind me as i walked home. Shoving my phone in my pocket, I slowly looked around to try and see who it was.

I prepared myself to have to punch someone, but as I turned, a figure sped past me. What the hell was going on? My pace quickened a little and I watched as he ran into an alley, so I peeped my head around the corner of it.

He motioned for me to go away, but I was too curious for that. I tilted my head, trying to see his face under his hood, hidden in the shadows. "Go," he snapped, "you're gonna get me fucking caught!"

"What's going on?" i questioned, not expecting anything from it, but he rolled his eyes, pulling me into the shadows. "Who are you running from?"

"Shh," he put his finger over his lips as he listened out for, I assume, whatever he was running from.

He seemed to decide that the coast was clear, because he ran. I watched him, confused, as he sprinted away and around the corner.

I shook my head, trying to make sense of what had just happened. I started walking again, heading home, when it happened once more. Footsteps. I looked behind me and this time, the guy was slowing down.

I clenched my fists in my pockets and stared at him, his face was covered. "Did you see where he went?" he asked me.

I didn't say anything, just stared up at him.

"Did you?!"

I nodded slowly, pointing down the alley he'd hidden in, "he went through there," i lied.

He ran off without another word, down the alley and out of the other end. I watched as he turned left, going back towards the way they both came.

He'll be safe for now then, I thought to myself.

Thank you to the roadie who gave me this idea😍 I'm in love
This based on a video though, and the video is like 2 minutes long so I'm gonna be adding to the story line but it'll be generally the same.

Peace out👌😊
