kenzie louise
running out of the store and into the empty parking lot with ben right behind me chasing me out, i turn around and stop in the middle of the road, not caring if there was a car or anything about to come and run me over completely
he walks up to me with knitted eyebrows and i copy his exact look as i pant trying to catch the breath i lost when he threatened to take me back to his apartment
"why are you running?" he lifted his hands up in the air confused
i shook my head and held my stomach feeling sick.
"y-you chased me" i pant
he shook his head and put his hands in the air as if he was surrendering
"i was only trying to give you a hug when you started to burst out into tears? how did i scare you?" he asks
"what do you mean how did you scare me? i told you to leave me alone and you wouldn't" i stand back yo straight
"because i'm scared for you! ever since the party and i...you know" he trailed off
i stayed silent with my eyebrows furrowed waiting for him to continue
which he did.
"drugged you"
i nodded slowly and crossed my arms over my stomach
"i don't want you to hurt youself, or go back to anything old you use to do" he smiled weakly but it immediately makes me feel sick
he takes a step closer and i let my head drop to my dirty converse, i swallow the lump in my throat and he sneaks his hand onto my cheek and let it rest there, my back covered in shivers by his touch
suddenly a horn from a car beeped and we both instantly turned our heads in sync
when i looked over to my left i saw something that made my stomach drop the furthest it's able too.
in the black car infront of us standing on the zebra crossings was a guy that i lost a few days ago.
ross.
he had his arms over the door where the window was open, his elbow bent so he could fit his head out the door
my eyes lit up and my heart dropped to my stomach, my mouth opened slightly as all i wanted to do was run up into his arms, but i couldnt.
i took a step forward but ben was quick to pull me back by my wrist, tugging at it harshly i look down at my hand in pain
"is everything ok?!" ross shouts from the car catching my attention again
i open to mouth to speak but cat caught my tongue and ben was fast to butt in.
"everything fine, thank you" ben said harshly towards ross making my heart ache even more
the tears brimming my eyes fells slowly one by one as i met eyes with ross, i'm not sure he realised who i was at the time
