3 a.m in Chicago.
"Run faster, Cassie!"
She looked back.
They were closing in. She saw as one of them was almost close enough to make a grab for her so she ran even faster. At her sides, her fingers were curled into sweaty fists, swinging forward as if it would make her faster.
"I should be ashamed of myself." Alexia's dark hair was tousled and uneven strands were sticking against her sweaty forehead as she ran besides her friend. "Let's be clear; I'm not, but I should be."
Cassie couldn't help but laugh. "You thrown your drink all over the club's owner, Alex."
"I wouldn't have done that if I'd known who she was!"
"It's okay, I would've done it anyway." The corner of Cassie's mouth twitched into her check as she looked at her friend.
But suddenly, one of the security guys tangled his fingers into Alexia's hair, titling her head back.
"Alex!" Cassie shouted, quickly turning around to help her friend that was struggling against that man's grip.
"Leave her alone you son of-"
The girl was abruptly cut off as she was roughly pushed up against the nearest wall by the other bouncer.
"Who the hell do you think you are, huh?!" He clenched his fist, a vein popping out of his forehead. "Slipping into Mrs.Eckhart club and then pulling up a fight!"
"Stop this!" The black haired girl shouted but the man just pressed Cassie harder up against the bricks, ignoring the groans escaping her lips.
"Mrs. Eckhart just wanted to send her regards." Suddenly the man's fist collided with Alexia's face, who fell on the ground.
"Alex!"
Her vision blurred as tiny droplets of blood started to run down her face.
"C'mon get up, we haven't finished yet." The same bouncer demanded. "Get up you little bitch!"
As soon as he was kneeling down to make a grab for her, Cassie's knee collided heavily with the crotch of the bouncer who was holding her against the wall, leaving him on the ground.
Taking advantage of the situation, Alexia didn't hesitate to let her fist make contact to the man's throat.
"Shit, look at this!" Alexia said excited, looking down at the two bouncers that were on the ground.
"We have the same fucking moves as Jackie Chan!" Cassie laughed, still trying to recover her breath as her friend walked to hug her.
"Alex, your face..."
"That asshole hit me hard, huh?" She said as Cassie examined her carefully.
"I think you may need some stitches or-."
Suddenly a hand grabbed Cassie's ankle and her eyes widened in panic.
"Time to start running again baby." She informed her friend and as soon as she was free of the grip on her they started running as fast as they could.
"Over here!" A male voice said as a van violently stopped in front of them. "C'mon just jump in girls!"
- Andrea.
