Jinae feverishly tied her shoes while looking behind her, the knot slipping between her fingers

"Shit" she muttered

She turned back around surveying the empty street

"Fuck it" she said as she got up and adjusted her backpack straps, allowing one to dangle off her shoulder carelessly.

And that's when she saw it. A flashlight at the end of the street. Her whole body stiffened up. they're still looking for me?

Terror gripped her, not letting her move.

Her body started to shake uncontrollably and she broke out in a cold sweat. shit, they're coming this way. Breaking out of her trance, she weighs her options. I could run... but they might see me, then they'll chase me. but if I hide, they'll get here and definitely find me.

She made up her mind. She'll run. So she runs, only stopping when she's confident that there's enough space between her and them.

" what the hell?! Why are they still looking? I thought they stopped days ago? " she mutters to herself

but then she realizes, practically laughing out loud at herself.

"It's my dad, of course he wouldn't stop for anything. Not because he's worried about me, but because of the business. His dazzling reputation. What an asshole. An absolute fucking asshole " she spits out.

Jinae looks around to make sure she's completely alone. She's always had trouble with letting go of people, even if those people had hurt her. Looking up at the dark sky she desperately thinks

if there's a god out there, please help me. I'm alone and scared and need your help

A tear escapes her eye as she recites her silent prayer over and over again, until the words are not foreign; but part of her, running through her very blood.

if there's a god out there, please help me. I'm alone and scared and need your help

if there's a god out there, please help me. I'm alone and scared and need your help

When she's calm she finally takes a look around. The night seems so quiet. An opposite to the war raging in her mind.

"What's a fine young woman like yourself doing out here alone ?" A cold drawling voice asks out of the shadows.

Jinae jumps, had this man (she could tell from his voice) been watching her? For how long? 

Wtf that's seriously messed.

Slowly, Rage starts to build up in her mind. Coursing through her body like poison. Is there such thing as personal space? But then again she's also in some alleyway at night, not a smart move. Jinae can't help but notice his emphasis on the "fine young woman" part of his statement. Was she getting catcalled? He mind slows as she processes what is happening, causing her go freeze.

Jinae starts to fully register what's going on. I'm in some random dark alley way, I don't know where I am and on top of that, there's some random ass dude here "catcalling" me? What the actual hell was I thinking with this whole run away from home thing.

"Stop hyperventilating, I'm not gonna kill you." "Or hurt you or even touch you at all or that matter" he added with a soft chuckle.

Jinae stiffened " you could be some drunk idiot for all I know" she retorted. Right as the words escaped her mouth she cringed why did I reply to him? All her brain was saying was

Your a dumbass

Over and over again.

Your a dumbass

Your a dumbass

Your a dumbass

"Hello? you okay? Are you mentally subnormal or something?"
