Wishing On A Star

Panic Call

I started talking to Travis a lot more, and skyping all the time. This took my mind off Alec, which was honestly what I needed. Travis texted me every morning, telling me good morning, and that I was beautiful. I wouldn’t say that I was in love with him, but he took my mind off what was going on in my life. He had even proposed to me after talking to me about a month. The long distance relationship made it easy to keep it secret, and I enjoyed flirting with other guys even though I was “with him.”

            It was a November night, and I was walking home from a friends, Travis wasn’t answering my texts and it had to be almost midnight. Living in a small town like I do there were no cars and the  number of street lights was highly limited. I walked past a group of college guys having a bon fire and drinking, numbers of beer cans were scattered on the ground. I only looked momentarily but a few of them saw me, I continued walking.

I would hear footsteps rushing behind me, the faster I paced, the faster they paced, the closer and louder the steps got. “hey beautiful come here and hang with us.” I heard a voice yell. It wasn’t nice, and it was slurred. I panicked, pulled out my phone, and called the first person I could think of.

Ring. Please pick up, please please please pick up. Ring. Oh please pick up. Ring- it cut off before it finished.

            “Hello?” A voice answered.

            “oh my gosh! Thank god you picked up!” I could hear the panic in my voice.

            “Whats wrong, whats going on?”

            “These guys are following me, and im really freaked out”

            “Just stay on the phone with me, how far from home are you?”

            “About 6, 7 blocks”

            I raced home, the sound of his voice soothing me and making me less scared, I went inside the house. “Alec?”

            “yea?” he answered.

            “I love you”

            “I love you too” I could hear his smirk in his voice. Then I hung up, smiled, and went to my room.
