Breathless

Chapter Three

I run as fast as my legs can go, he was too fast, and I was too slow. I couldn't get away from him, my eyes were stinging with tears threatening to come out. I had to be strong. His had gripped my arm tightly, "Where do you thing your going?" He smiles a toothless smile, his dark, lifeless eyes looked me up and down.

I don't know this man. Why would anyone do this? Why me?! His hand traveled to my behind and I couldn't help it. My face was soaked from the tears, I start uncontrollably sobbing and screaming for help but no one would come to my rescue. His hand moves from my behind to my mouth basically slapping me. "You're very pret--"

"Quack, Quack, Quack"

Shit!

I get up and realize I'm on the ground wrapped around my blanket with my legs on my bed. My face wet from, tears? Shiiiit! They came back. No.

"Quack, quack, quack, quack"

My phone vibrates from the bedside table and I recognize the stupid duck ringtone Will has put for himself.

I answer before checking the caller ID. "Why are you call--"

"Feliz Um--- birthday!!" He shouts trying, but failing to say " Happy Birthday" in Spanish. I smile just thinking about him trying to Learn it through google translator.

"I think it's cumpleaños. Or something. See you shouldn't have dropped out of Spanish after a week in freshman year of high school," I laugh into the phone. "but thank you. I'm a bit shocked though that you remembered. And that your up at this time. You do realize it is seven forty-five in the morning right? Why are you calling me anyways?"

"Well, duh I remembered. I've only spent like eleven years of knowing you."

"Well, you didn't do a very good job at remembering last year."

"Shut up, Kat. I don't even remember my moms cat's name. Plus your birthday happens to be on Halloween and that is my favorite Holliday!"

"I know, it sucks, having the a birthday in the same day as a national Holliday. Um- wait. Why are you calling me again? Have you forgotten that we live together as well?"

He giggles, "No silly! I've actually decided to wake up early today, to do something great for my very good best friend who I love so very much."

"And what would that be?" I ask, curious of this "good deed" my friend has done for me.

"You'll have to wait and find out. By the way Danielle called me a couple minutes ago and told me that she has something planned for us tonight. She will be coming over tonight at around seven."

I groan inwardly. Not because she's coming but because I already know what she has planned. It's Danielle so I'm sure it involves loud music, short dresses, and a lot of alcohol.

"Okay. Do you know where we're going?" I ask anyways.

"Out." He replies obviously not wanting to give out any details.

"Gee thanks."

"Can you open the door?" He says before he ends the call.

"What?" Just when I say that I hear a buzzing sound coming from the living room. I rush over to the living room and press the butting to open the front door from downstairs.

A couple seconds later the door knob is wiggling and I open it.

"Helloooo, birthday girl."

"Helloooo, William." I reply back. "What is that?" I say pointing to the back that he sets down on the kitchen island.
