Just Can't Let Her Go

Chapter 36

Chapter 36

Relentless

Alicia had done as she was told, she'd simply left with some of her clothes and her makeup and stuff. Harry hadn't given her a second look. She didn't know where to go. Surely she wasn't going back to Joe, he'd simply just abandoned her. Steven probably hated her because she'd cheated on his best mate. Valerie never liked her to begin with.

There was no one there for her.

When she had been with Harry life had been so good, she hadn't realized all he gave her. But now that was stripped away all that was left was her and two bags. She had no option, she rented a hotel room for a month, and had been moping around.

It had been almost two weeks, Harry ignored all her calls and texts. He denied her when she had left message after message about Astrid and wanting to see her.

Now here she was getting ready to just leave some shitty bar, she had her purse close to her side and her phone in her coat pocket as she walked. The streets were lonely and dark. Everything scared her, being alone made her so on edge. Any slight rustle would completely set her on high alert.

"Hey there pretty lady." Some gruff looking guy emerged from and alley, causing her to stop in her tracks. She didn't respond, she couldn't find anything to say.

"Where's your boyfriend at sweetheart? You're far to pretty to be out here alone."

"I-I just leave me alone." Alicia whimpered pulling her bag to her chest. All she had in it was a mere twenty pound note and lipstick. Maybe a few mints and pieces of gum. She'd only brought it just to go to the bar.

"Give me your bag!" He shouted, shoving her back into the alley. She tried to kick him, hitting him in the shin. That only made him more angry, he pulled out a pocket knife and swung it blindly at her. He hit her forearm, blood began to trickle out quickly.

"No please stop!" She screamed loudly, and just kept shrieking praying someone would hear her. "Shut up or I'm going to shut you up!" He said as he tried to strip her bag from her. "What part of shut the fuck up don't you understand you dumb whore!" He said as he popped her in the mouth.

Alicia felt him bust her lip, and she started to sob. He finally got her bag and instead of running away he picked up some un identified object and hit her over the head with it in an attempt to render her unconscious. She fell to the ground under the heavy blow and just laid still, hoping he'd just run. That's exactly what he did.

She was bleeding pretty bad from her arm now, her lip was split and was throbbing, and her head was pounding she touched her hair and felt the wet warm liquid that was blood. Her cheeks were soaked in tears, and she was pretty sure she was going to die. "My my phone." She mumbled, everything was hazy for her. Her small hands got it out of her pocket, and dialed in the first number that came to mind.

"Harry, please for fucking once pick up." She whimpered as the call began to go through. After two rings he finally picked up.

"Alicia stop calling me I told you I need time."

"H-Harry I just got mugged, I'm bleeding. I need help, please come help me. I'm bleeding, I got cut..cut. My-My, please." She cried into the phone, knowing he was going to hang up if she didn't talk fast.

"Where are you?" He answered, his voice calm and heavy she'd roused him from his sleep. Harry didn't sound emotional.

"In... that alley right outside of Barney's that bar. Please, please hurry I'm scared." She cried, losing all the dignity she had left. This couldn't be happening to her. To top all the shit that had been going on, now this.
