Brad and I had been walking down this path now for a while. I'm getting frustrated and tired.

"Wanna turn back? " he asked and I looked at him who was infront me walking.

"I'm considering to do that, " I spoke and I heard him laughed so i smiled.

We walked a little more and seems he too was getting frustrated.

"We should turn back, " he spoke stopping and I stopped too.

"I think we should too," I said and he sighed then we started back down the path that we just walked. People looked at us weirdly but that didn't bother me I was just scanning the area for the creepy looking man.

He told me to meet him here in town hall and now...wait...he just said town hall. I stopped walking. That means...

"Brad, where's the center of town hall? " I asked and he stopped, he was a few steps away from me.

"The clock, " he said and I smiled.

"That's where I should go, " I said and we hurried off going down back to the big clock in the middle of the road.

"Are you sure? " he stopped me before I could move off to cross the road to go to the clock.

"Yea," I said and he looked at the clock and then let go.

I hurried across the street avoiding the cars that were passing. I sure wouldn't want to get hit down.

I approached the clock and looked around people in their cars and on both side of the street looked at me like I was crazy. I looked up at the tower but nothing. I spun around in a circle looking at everyone.

I turned back to the tower and touched the wall then the ground, that's when I saw that there was a little piece of paper taped to the ground. I read it.

"Come to the coffee shop across the street- man with the pen, "

I looked back at brad he was watching me. I bend and took the paper up, removing the tape. I held it up so he could see that I found something, he smiled and gave me thumbs up. I looked around at all the buildings that's when my eyes caught something.

"Is that a sniper? " I spoke and looked to where it was pointing.....at brad!

"Brad! Run! " I shouted and ran off.

Bow!!!  I heard the gun fire then screams all over. I continued across the street while some people stooped in fright and some ran. I saw when brad fell but I don't know if he got shot.

Hoooonkkkk!! There was loud car horn I looked to my left and saw a car was coming directly at me.

"Ahhhhhhh! " I screamed but ended up in someone's arms and felt a breeze pass me.

"You're ok, " I heard in my ear. My heart was in my mouth beating fast. I couldn't talk and I was just shaking. I heard more gunshots.

"We have to go, " I heard a male voice again then he started pulling me.

I looked and saw brad on the ground bleeding and looking lifeless.

"Brad! " I screamed as my eyes got glossy.

"Nooo! " I screamed but the person held me close so I couldn't break free all I could do was watch him lay there looking lifeless.

"Brad! " I screamed but there were people running all around and he was soon out of sight.

"Nooooo! " I screamed.

"He's gone, " I heard the male voice then I zoned out.

He was the love of my life, whether I wanted to admit it or not and now he was gone...gone...just like that. No. I didn't get to say...I didn't....say goodbye...there was sudden darkness.

....................................................

I opened my eyes. I was laying on a bed. I sat up and looked around. I was in a small room along with a door leading to a bathroom, there was a drawer and some other stuffs.

"Are you ok? " I heard a voice, I shook in fright and looked around. There was a man sitting in a chair in one of the corners.

"Where am I? " I asked looking at the person.

"You're safe, " he spoke and I stared at him. This man seems like someone I've known before.

"Brad, " it came back to me.

"I need to get back to him, " I was about to love but stopped when he spoke.

"He's gone, with that shot he couldn't have lived...I'm sorry," he spoke and my eyes got glossy again and the tears came flowing.

"Was he your boyfriend? " he asked and I just cried more.

"I'm so sorry, I couldn't help him, if I had you would have gotten hit and I couldn't let that happen, " he spoke and I just kept crying.

Wait...it's him..the man that gave me the pen and he was following me.

"Why are you following me? Who are you? " I finally asked him.

"My name is Aleekie Smith, " he answered and I stared at him.

"You're the man from my dream, " I spoke and he gave me a weird look.

"Was it a good dream? " he asked. He sounds like a nice person.

"No, you were trying to kill me, " I answered and his brows raised.

"Well, that's the opposite of all of what I'm trying to do right now, " he spoke and i watched him. He rubbed his forehead.

"Are you trying to kill me? " I asked soflty and he looked at me.

"No, " he said. "I just svaed you're life, you're welcome by the way, " he spoke and I looked away from him.

"Thank you, " I spoke and looked at him. He nodded then sighed.

"I can't believe brad...he's gone, " I spoke softly then wiped my face. Its like a part of me went cold, dark, sad just lifeless. I have to go home..wait... Casie and matt.

"I have to go, "  I got up.

"Wait, you should eat, " He got up too and I stepped farther from him then he stepped back.

"I'm sorry, I'm not gonna hurt you ok, " he spoke and I looked at him.

"I need to leave, " I said and he sighed.

"You need to eat, " he spoke. I did feel hungry but I was gonna be in big trouble if I didn't reach home right now.

"I need to leave now, " i spoke heading to the room door.

"Ally, you have been out for a day now and it's getting late outside, " he spoke and I halted. A what?

"A day? " I asked shocked.

"Yes, you need to eat, " he spoke.

"No, I need to leave, mom is gonna kill me, " I spoke and walked off and he followed.

"You're mother? " I heard him.

"Yes, " I said and looked around. I was in a living room. Small house.

I saw a door and walked off to it.

"Ally wait, " I heard him, I stopped and turned to him.

"Let me drop you off, " he spoke and I sighed.

"Take me to my car, " I spoke and his brows raised.

"You drive? " he asked and I nodded. He seemed shock.

"Let's go, " he said then opened the door and I walked out. We were in a upstairs building. We climbed down some steps to the ground. He unlocked a mustang and we got in then he started out. I had no idea where I was.

We arrived at a place I knew, the place where I left my car. It was gone. No!

"No, " I said and he looked at me.

"I can take you home, " he spoke and I looked at him.

"Please, " I said and he pressed his foot on gas and we sped off. Please don't kill me when I get home mom.
