I Promise (a Bruno Mars fanfic)

Chapter 1 A very frightening night

Horns honking everywhere. Street lights fading. Rain falling from the night sky. Here I am, running from what I thought would never happen, my ex chasing me down with his car. I just got out of work from waitressing and there he was, waiting outside. I've been running for a while now. I cut across a Mobil parking lot. It was late at night, around midnight. No one was in the parking lot so I had nothing to hide behind. No cars, no buses, no witnesses. I could hear the car horns getting closer. Now I was panicking, he was close. I had to do something, he's gonna kill me. I ran behind a dumpster I spotted far away in the corner of the lot. I heard sirens coming in my direction. I looked out from behind the dumpster and saw a cruser (police car) with its lights flashing and search light going. I got up and ran over to the car. The cop rolled down his window and I told him what was happening. All of a sudden, head lights appeared. It was my ex's car flying off the hill. The cop opened the door of his cruser and was rushing out of the way. I ran and never looked back. I heard a huge crash and felt a rush of heat. Still running, almost falling from the impact, I glanced back quick and saw the cruser engulfed in flames, with the police officer nowhere in sight. My ex's car went "head first" on top of the cruiser, burning debris was flying everywhere. Becoming very weak, I struggled to walk up the hill to see if anyone was coming that heard the explosion. The last thing I remembered was my ex's voice saying, "You're gonna pay you little bitch, you and Peter." as he cocked a gun and fired.
