XxHackingJustice: "Hey, don't call me a stalker, but I think I see you."
From one hour ago
My eyes go wide, what does he mean? Did he hack into my camera or something?
Rose._.O: "if you hacked into my camera I will call you a stalker and a creep."
I star down at my phone waiting for a response. Abby and I are sitting down at a picnic table on the beach eating some ice cream from a stand, I got strawberry she got vanilla. My phone buzzes and I smile, fumbling to unlock it. Abby looks at me strangely.
XxHackingJustice: "No silly, like I saw you irl. I think so at least..."
Rose._.O: "You're joking, right?"
XxHackingJustice: "No, for real saw someone who looked just like your profile picture on Instagram. You have short dark brown hair, right? And were just at the beach?"
No way, he actually saw me? I wonder if I saw him too...
Rose._.O: "Yeah I'm still at the beach actually, that's crazy!"
XxHackingJustice: "Yeah such a coincidence, I don't think I've ever seen you there before."
Rose._.O: "Really? I go here all the time. Who were you btw idk if I saw you."
XxHackingJustice: "That's weird, well usually I don't come here late in the day. We made eye contact though, I have light brown hair. Tall."
I star blankly at my phone and mutter our loud,
"You're. Joking."
It can't be him...
XxHackingJustice: "Yeah your face was bright red too;)"
Okay I see it. Abby tried to look over my shoulder, but I pull my phone to my chest. Abby whines,
"No fair, stop hiding your phone in your boobs! Who are you texting that's making you blush so much?"
I feel my face getting hotter by the second, I hate when Abby mentions that I'm blushing, it only makes it worse.
"No one, I'm just reading something."
Abby huffs and plops back down.
Rose._.O: "Maybe cuz you guys were eyeing my friend down like hungry dogs!"
XxHackingJustice: "haha, whatever you wanna think tomato."
I see that's the nickname of the day for me...
Rose._.O: "Whatever!!"
XxHackingJustice: "We're going to be heading back to shore soon, maybe I'll see you? If you're okay with that ofc. :)"
I don't think I'll be able to live through that, it makes me nervous even thinking about it. Especially with all of his friends there too...
Rose._.O: "Maybe.."
I quickly put my phone into my bag and stand up,
"Abby, we have to go right now!"
Abby looks up at me, confused, with her ice cream cone still in her mouth,
"Why? It's getting dark, my mom was gonna pick us up so we don't have to walk home in the dark."
It's going to take too long for that, I'm not ready to talk to Sam. He's too intimidating. Abby can see the stress on my face,
"Okay, we can start walking I guess. I'll text my mom."
I smile and hug Abby,
"Thank you."
      Abby smiles back and grabs her stuff, we start walking back. As we're turning out of the parking lot to take a shortcut two older men stop us. The one on the left is about the same height as me, but much bigger. The other one is a little taller. The big one slurs his words drunkenly,
"H-hey girls-"
      The other one chuckles and steps closer, causing Abby and I to take a step back. I gulp and look over to Abby, she looks just as terrified as I probably do. I try to stand straight,
"P-please get out of our w-way."
      Their faces become frustrated, Abby grabs my wrist and starts to run. The taller man pulls me towards him, causing Abbys hand to break away from mine. I scream,
"RUN! Run Abby, run!"
     She stays paralyzed on the ground for a second, then gets up and runs the opposite way as fast as she could. The larger man looks like he's about to go after her, but instead turns back to me. They both smirk as I try to squirm away from them,
"Let me go!"
      They chuckle, the taller one tightening his grip on me, I wheeze in pain, tightly closing my eyes. Then I hear I loud thud, my eyes shoot open and at the same time the taller man lets go of me. The larger man is laying face down on the ground, blood around his head. I turn to see Sam swing his fist into the taller mans face. He is down on the ground just as the other. Sam shakes his bloody fist open. I make eye contact with his hazel eyes, a stern look etched onto his face. I feel my body becoming weak, the adrenaline rush leaving my body weak. Sam runs over to catch me as I become wobbly. He picks me up bridle style. I shakily mutter,
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Just in shock, or something."
Sam looks down at me and replies with a husky voice,
"I told you to stay safe, stupid."
Which makes me giggle. I rest my head on his firm chest.
