The Sidewalk

New York

After hours in the car, and many bathroom breaks in dirty gas stations in the middle of nowhere, we finally arrived at New York. All i could see was the giant buildings and crowded streets, ugh, get me out of here. We drove for 30 more minutes till we stopped in front of a giant buiding.

"Welcome home" dad said

Dont call this place my home, you guys took me away from home, without my approval. And im mad, i really am. We got off the car and grabbed our bags and went to room 129. Mom opened the door and the first thing i saw was a huge kitchen that looked pretty modern, the fridge had a tablet. I walked around the house to give it a look . It was nothing like my house back at Connecticut. Our Kitchen was tiny and rustic and we only had one bathroom. And there was an amazing view in the balcony. What made home so special was the amount of memories every inch of the house has. But all that was left behind. I was standing in my empty new room that had a huge glass window that let you look outside, trucks, lots of people, hot dog stands and stray dogs. Amazing view (sarcasm). My dad walked in.

"How's my beautiful pretzel?"

He calls me a pretzel because he thinks i'm salty but a good person. I would like him to stop.

"Devan, i know you're mad because of the sudden change, but its a huge opportunity and we can't just let it go to waste"

"yeah, whatever" i said

"Everything is going to be fine, its gonna be a wonderful experience. I promise."

I just ignored him, i was still mad, but not at him, so i didn't want to waste my anger on him. My dad is like a hopeless puppy without mom, he doesn't know what to do. After a while, he left to get the rest of the package, then mom walked in.

"It's not very nice to ignore your dad like that, he is always worried for you and you don't care, you need to change missy, and i'll make sure you do"

I'm still mad at her, so i ignored her and headed to the door to get what was left, then i felt a very strong grip on my wrist, i looked back and it was her, looking at me dead in the eyes. 

"Stop with the actitud Devan!"

I snatched my wrist away from her

"I'm not even gonna bother with you at this point. You didn't consult any of this with till the past 3 days. I was fine in Connecticut."

I told her while i had tears out of anger. I grabbed one of my bags and went out the door running.

"Devan! Devan come back here! Now!"

"Please come back! We'll talk our way out of this!"

I heard them both yell, but i had already left. Then i felt how they where both behind me. I speed walk my way into the busy crowd and lost sight of them. I was investigating the place i had to call home for now on. When it got dark, i was still walking, but i was tired, so i sat in the sidewalk to rest a bit. Suddenly i heard a weird noise coming from the darkness, then it walked forward and i saw this big, slimy purple/black feet shape. It stood in the light. It was about 7'12 of height and was all slimy and gross. It was black mixed with purple and had huge 3 glowing red eyes. I was terrified, i couldn't move or scream i couldn't do anything.I felt sweat dropping of my cold face. I didn't know what the hell was that creature, but it wasn't pretty. Then it opened his "Mouth". You could see his skull along with the other organs threw his mouth, and he roared. I stood up and ran, and it began to chase me. I screamed loudly and switched right to at least find a way to hide. But it was a dead end. The "thing" got closer to me and he went in front of me. And he got his face closer to me and roared throwing the slimy substance he had on, showing me his organs and revealing his horrible breath.

"You could use a mint dude" i said. It made it worst, that giant shit was now on top of me about to eat my goddamn face. I screamed so loud. and then a green substance got on me and his head slide off and fell on my chest.

I screamed again until i heard a voice.

"Stop screaming is annoying"

I started shaking my head to check where the voice came from. Then a tall guy with a jacket and a mask showed up.

"You're lucky i came in time, or you would've been his meal."

He said, with the same voice from earlier.

"What the hell was that? And how do you know is a he?"

He helped me stand up and he answered

"That was an alien, and it is a male because is black mixed with purple, females are purple mixed with black."

I was confused, but i went with it.

"And you are?" i asked

He turned around, looked at me and ignored me. I ran behind him telling him to stop, till the point i grabbed his jacket and snatched it away from his body.

"What the hell!" he yelled

I looked at him, he was a tall guy with long black hair, his left eye was blue and his right one was green. He had good posture and was extremely pale. He was....cute.

"Woah.....I'm sorry i-"

"if i answer all your questions would you stopped bothering me?"

"I mean, sure i guess" i responded.

"Whats your name, weird alien slayer?"

"Noah"

"Where do you come from?"

"A place"

"C'mon tell me"

We walked and talked, i was trying to be nice, but he was being a jerk. He kept ignoring me and telling me to shut up. We stopped in front of a building.

"Well, the questionnaire has ended here, farewell idiot" he said, walking away.

"I'm not an idiot! My name is Devan McCarty you ass- DEVAN"

The voices were pretty familiar and i looked back to see both my parents. My dad ran towards me and hugged me tightly

"My dark chocolate covered pretzel! I was worried sick! Where were you!?" he said

"Lost." I said. He started saying he loved me and that i shouldn't ever do that again. Then i saw mom

"Young lady......you still have a lot of unpacking to do! Get in right now!" she said going inside the building and dad was grabbing my hand taking me inside. I looked back and saw that Noah was gone. Weird i thought. It was a pretty messed up night. I know i won't sleep after seeing that terrifying thing about to eat me.
