Everything was obscured everywhere in London, England, year 2019. Nobody was to be found, except the rats that scurried across the stranded streets of White-chapel. Rain poured downwards, hitting the roofs of the houses above me. 

I gave out a sigh and run my fingers through me black, stringy hair. I was waiting for Jaxter (my boyfriend) outside, trying not to lose my cool because he was late today. I licked my lips nervously and felt a raindrop going down my t-shirt that I wore. 

Something moved in front of me, something clattered to the ground; making me jump up startled. 

I realized that it was only a cat prowling for it's prey and I gave out a sigh of relief. Knowing that it wasn't some kind of serial character. I step away from the clothed tepee that protected me from the pouring rain. I knew that he wasn't going to show up anytime soon, so I start to leave the alleyway.

Another clatter came from behind me and I spun around; again, nobody was behind me. Concern grew in my chest and I knew that I was going to regret on what I was going to do.

"Hello?" I called out, hugging myself for warmth.

Nobody answered me, only the raindrops that was splattering on the ground. 

I rolled my eyes and began walking out of the alleyway once again. 

A hand goes around my mouth, rough on me. Somebody pinning my hands behind my back, so I don't hit him/her. 

My heart beats in my throat and I struggled profusely. 

A laugh came out of the stranger's lips and a deep, low voice whispers in my ear, "Surprise Diamond." The stranger's hands leave my mouth and he lets go of my pinned arms.

I turn around to see Jaxter standing in the rain, his dirty blonde hair soaked. Making his bangs stick to his face.  I stick out my tongue at him and cross my arms over my chest; pouting. "You are such a meanie! You scared me to death and I also thought you were a serial killer!" I yelled out, tears coming to my eyes.

Jaxter looks out the window and says, "When is it gonna stop pouring? I'm getting bored out of my mind, staying at your house."

I look up from my phone and realized that he was standing near the window. "I don't know. I mean, staying inside is fine by me." I answered, getting off of my bed. I go to my closet and pulled out my pikachu sweater. I pulled it on and say, "Come on."

He looks at me and frowns. "Where are we going?" 

I smiled and say," Outside." I slip on my shoes and leave my room.
