Resemblance

This was actually the first thing I ever published on Wattpad but no one read it. Like literally no one. That was kinda sad. Now I'm thinking, "Fuck it." I'll just do whatever the fuck I want. Here's my first story.

     "Ugh, fuck" she said while holding her friend's head over the toilet. "Jane, you're such a sweet friend." the inebriated girl finally stopped so she can give her friend a hug. "Okay. Let's get you out of here before I throw up as well." Jane didn't expect any of this to happen. She rarely ever went out with co-workers for drinks or... anything really. Tonight just happened to be an exception since Karen had been bothering her for weeks. That decision would come to bite her in the ass however seeing as she was practically carrying said friend out of a bat restroom. Four drinks in and Karen had already poured her heart out. "Same old shit," Jane thought to herself. She didn't think she'd ever hear this type of thing in her late twenties; the high school type drama. Girl-meets-guy, girl-falls-for-guy, guy-doesn't-care type of thing. Needless to say, she was sick of that shit, but she'd never say it out loud. She was working with the girl after all. They got out of the restroom and back to everyone. "Hey I think we're gonna call it a day. Karen's pretty much fucked at this point," she told everyone almost shouting from the bar's noise. They understood and let them go. Jane thanked them for the night despite everything that happened. She was straight-up carrying her friend at this point and as she was trying to get her friend in her car, she felt eyes on her. She was about to look back but Karen shifted and nearly fell out of the car. Jane ignored the eyes on her and focused on getting her friend home.

      "Just so we're clear, I'm never drinking with you again." she said as she dropped her friend off to her place. She laid her down on the bed and placed a bucket on her side just in case. She tucked Karen in and took one last look at her. "You'll be fine." she told her before leaving the room. As she headed to her car she felt eyes on her again. She turned around but was disappointed to see that no one was there. She ignored it once more and just drove home, hoping to end the night there.

      It was her day off today and she had decided to go to the mall. She wanted to buy gifts for her family since it's November and the sales were insane. She bought some antiques for her grandparents, some clothes for her parents and her brother, and lastly, some toys for her nephew. She had done pretty much everything she had to do for the day and she was just about ready to go home, but then it happened again. She felt eyes on her. She looked back for a second and saw a hooded man who just happened to look away the moment she turned her head. She wanted to see whether or not he would keep following her, so she went to McDonalds knowing well enough that there would a line there. There were about four long lines when she got there and she went to the second one. It was then that she took out her phone and pretended to check on her makeup. She tried to get a look on the guy but he wasn't there. She tried another angle and surely enough, she found him on another line. "Smart" she thought to herself. She posed and took a selfie so that she wouldn't seem too obvious. It was her turn to order and she settled for a cheeseburger. She got it and left, the man followed shortly after and didn't even order. She needed to find a way to apprehend him. "Good thing I didn't bring my car." She made her way home and she knew the man was still following her. She took a right at a nearby alley then hid herself. The man made a right at the alley as well and was surprised to see that Jane wasn't there, only the stuff she had bought. He then froze as he heard the click of a gun behind him. "Hands behind your head," he heard her say. "Wait, I can explain," he begged but she wasn't having any of it seeing as he's been stalking her since last night. "Hands on your head. Now!" The man followed she cuffed him. "Please you gotta let me explain," he begged once more. "Oh you'll have plenty of time for that later, but for now you have the right to remain silent."
