The Past

Grass and Stars

"Uh Sir, can you please let go of me? Like now?!" I raise my voice hoping someone would hear.

"What happens if I don't?" He smirks than pulls me closer and tighter.

"LET GO NOW!" I scream loader.

"Make me!" He smiles and starts yanking at me. I look at him and than spit at his face while he has my arms pinned behind my back.

"YOU LITTLE SHIT!" He screams at me, than throws me agressivley onto trash bags. He than starts kicking me aggressively as I try to get back up. He soon hovers over my stomach and starts hitting me repeatedly as I try grabbing his wrists and screaming for help. I than start blacking out as I see him hold his hand in a fist over me aiming at my cheek.

"GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HER!" I hear a familiar voice say as I open my eyes to a blurry vision of a man beating the other man who assaulted me. But soon all vision went and it was black. I was out cold.

  It was dark out with only sounds of cars and people when I finally woke up. All I saw was the stars, and smelt grass when I realized I was laid out on a blanket, in some park or something.

"There ya are sleeping beauty." I look over propping myself up on my elbows. The man from the Diner was sitting right next to me smoking a cigarette looking over at me, than back to the stars.

"Where am I?"

"The park." He said with a smirk.

"What happened?" I asked starting to sit up a little bit more holding my forehead.

"You were getting jumped by some dude when I found you," He said laying down and taking a blow from his cigarette"Beat him until he was outcold when I saw you were too."

"Well thanks for your help." I said getting up when my knees gave out.

"Whoa, you probably should take it easy there babe." He said grabbing me before I hit the ground again.

"Don't call me babe." I snapped as he sat me back down.

"Than what am I supposed to call ya?" He said irritated but with a laugh.

"Sara, Sara McKay."

"Dallas Winston." He replied as he crossed his free arm over after he lit another smoke to shake my hand.

"Well Dallas, Mr.Winston, thank you for your help but I'll be on my way now." I said as I got up again, a little Shakey, but without falling.

"Is that it? I save your life and we part ways like it didn't happen?" He Said quickly jumping to his feet.

Boy did he make me feel small. He has to be at least 6". I'm only 5"3 so I feel tinier just standing near to him.

"Well that's no better than the way you treated me at the Diner!" I said Sharply.

"Well you didn't just save me from a beaten now did ya, babe?" He snapped back with a grin ear to ear looking down at me.

"What did I say about calling me babe!"

"Okay 'Sara' I'd appreciate if you'd at least see me again after tonight." He said cocky, with a more stern look on his face.

"Fine, Tomorrow after my shift at 9, pick me up there." I said crossing my arms than started to walk away.

"Where ya going?"He shouted out after me.

"Home!" All I heard was his laughter in the distance. That's when I realized I had no idea where I was, or how to get home.

"Ugh" I sighed to myself and started walking back to him, as he was laying down on the blanket laughing while finishing his smoke.

"I need a ride home." I look down at him. He just started up at me and smiled for a moment, than got up.

"C'mon I'll help ya out babe." He put his arm around my shoulders. I must of looked really angry when he said that, because he looked down at me with a smirk as we walked off.
