Tears to blur her vision off but she didn't stop running, something is telling her that she have to go to his house right at that moment because her text hasn't been replied for hours now.
"Please, please, please don't turn out to be everything you said you wouldn't-"
She was on the verge of crying when all of the sudden her tears explode as she fell to the ground. There he is, the tall figure with a board back, holding the hand of the person whom she called her sister, walking and laughing very sweetly while she playfully pushes him away from her. They walked in into the place where Alexa first met him and sit on her favorite table, beside the window, holding hand and stealing kisses from each other while on the other side of the street; just after the first tear broke free, the rest of her worried, anger and the lump in her throat followed as she pressed her palm onto the cold hard ground, didn't even care with all of the eyes that are stabbing her back.
A few hours passed by and now she is curling up on the sidewalk. She buried her face on her arm, closing her tired eyes. They already leave, about an hour ago but she didn't. She was planning on comforting them but she know that she is not that kind of person and beside, she don't really have the energy nor the courage to speak up for herself.
People on the street began to vanish one by one as it is getting late outside and they have work tomorrow, but not for her. Her feet are still shaking she need to calm herself down first before she walked back home but even herself doesn't know when will that be.
A footstep got closer to where she is sitting and stopped right in front of her. She could tell because she can see his shadow from the crack of her foot. Didn't seem to move, she decided to stand up and walk away, avoiding eye contact.
At first he didn't follow her but then she can hear his footstep following her pace from behind so she started walking faster and so does he. Now that she fell the sense of danger, her body responded by running as fast as she could.
But not as fast as she was at the beginning of the night. With a shattered heart and a shaky feet, she couldn't make it to her house. That guy is faster and stronger than her weak body; with one hit at the back of her neck she fell to his hand.
"Hello Alexa, I have been looking for you everywhere." he whisper under his mask then before he opened it, she is already unconscious.
