The Adventure of a Life Time (Shawn Mendes fanfic)

15. Footsteps in the wrong direction

Thoughts were continuously running races around my mind. I had no idea where my feet were taking me but they just kept walking. The world in front of me started to become foggy, like a veil of clouds was coming over my eyes. It took me a minute to realize that it was raining and a thin layer of fog had formed on my glasses. I stopped myself from walking anymore and took my glasses case out of my bag to clean my glasses with the cleaning cloth concealed inside of the thin black case.

"Shawn you don't happen to have a...." i looked up expecting to see his big brown eyes staring down at me.
"Shawn?" I did a 360, to check if he was trying to scare me, but the tall brunette boy was no where to be seen.
"crap!!"my messed up thougths and wandering feet had gotten me lost. I took out my phone from the back pocket of my jeans and dialled Shawn's number.

"Ring......ring........ring......ring......Beeeeeeeppp!!!" My brain began to explode with worry. No, no, no, this could not be happening, Amy you need to chill. Okay whats the next plan of attack? PLAN OF ATTACK!!!! you sound like you killed someone and the cops just found out!!! Gosh, ok just shut up and keep calling Shawn, walk around to see if you can find him. WHERE THE HECK DID HE EVEN GO?!

I finished cleaning my glasses, put the case and the cleaning cloth back into my bag and slowly began to make my way through the main town streets. (I have never been to Pickering, nor Canada, so this is just me whinging it right now.)

Having not the slightest of clues as to where shawn was I, now was allowing myself to outwardly show I was freaking out. I had been looking for him for forty five minutes. Passing an alley way I figured why the heck not, you've looked every where else, may as well look down there too. I turned the corner into the small, dark alley way. It was longer than it looked from the entrance but I kept walking.
I heard voices quietly muttering behind me and turned around to look, hoping it would be Shawn. Three middle aged looking men (all creepy looking) were 10 metres behind me and all staring at me like I was a tray of meat. This is not good. I turned back around a slowly picked up my pace. I looked towards the end of the alley way. Sunlight was flooding in the end but it was too far for me to start running and the guys not catching up to me. My pace quickened even more, and slowly the end came closer and closer. I could hear the guys behind me gaining speed. Their raspy laughs echoing around on the tall, damp brick walls.
10 metres and I'm free.

What?!

A tall shadow appeared in the opening at the end, then began to fill up the exit. I continued straight for the shadow in hopes the adrenaline rush would kick in and help me knock them over.

"AMY!!!!!!" The shadow said.
"AMY!!!!!" It was Shawn!!!" Oh thank you holy cheese twists.
I bolted into a run, straight for Shawn. The three ugly men's footsteps, loudly echoing behind me.

I grabbed Shawn's arm and continued to run at full speed. Shawn looked behind us and saw the three guys hot on our heels. He quickly caught onto what was happening and grabbed my hand, interlocking our cold hands. We ran down the back streets, past the backs of supermarkets and clothing stores. There were loud shouts from behind us "come back here girly" "hey we won't hurt you, just come back here and let us take a look at your....." One of the men yelled after us.

Shawn abruptly made a sharp turn into another alley way, blocking out most of what the three guys were trying to say. Thank goodness. His grip on my hand had tightened. As we sprinted up the remaining few metres. We burst out onto a Main Street and took left.
"Amy put your hood up." Shawn calmly ordered me. I did as he said and placed my slightly damp hood on my head.
"Are you okay?" He ask me sternly. He looked me in the eyes as he waited for me to answer.
"I'm okay, they didn't touch me, right now, more than anything though, I'm scared and just want to get out of here."
Shawn wrapped his arm around my shoulders tightly and softly, kissed my temple. I placed my arm around his back as we walked down the street away from the alley way.
