Knowing You

Chapter 1

As I leaned against the wall just outside on the corner of a convenience store I looked down at my sneakers, dirty, muddy, a little worn. 'Where to next baby girl?' I thought. It was dark out and the only thing I could hear was the sound of people laughing and faded music, the bar was just across the road. Quite busy on a Friday night.

"Hey baby" I hear in the distance.
As I looked up it seemed to be a drunk man slightly staggering my way from the bar. I pretended not to hear him as he continued to mumble still making his way towards me.

"Seeeexy" *cat calls* "hey sweety, you looking kinda lonely standing here all by yourself"

'Block him out, ignore him, he'll go away' I turned to walk away, pretending to be heading into the store.

"Woah, woah, hey sexy, where do you think you're going".
He places a hand in front of me trying to block me off.

I stop in my tracks and look at him. Middle aged man, bottle of beer in his hands, dressed in a white shirt which is now untucked and disheveled. He's wearing a black pair of trousers and ugly black formal shoes. I notice a wedding band on his finger and what seems to be a tie in his pocket, he has his jacket hooked on his other arm. He must be working in an office, has problems at home and chooses to stay out all Friday night to blow off steam.
Just my luck, he's not gonna let me go easily, he's looking for a quick f*ck!

I turn to change my path and go around him but all he does is cage me in. He grins sheepishly as he looks me in the face

"Hey now, thought we could have some fun before you go"

'Keep quiet Alissa, you're only gonna aggravate him more'
I could feel my blood boiling as he inched closer to my face, I could smell his breath smelled like a tavern, under the spotlight I could see a fresh bruise that was forming around his eye, probably why he was outside the bar so young into the night. I scrunched my face in disgust which only made him laugh as he placed a hand on my waist while the other remained near my head against the huge glass window of the store.

"Get away from me!" I said as cool as I could
"Aw I didn't mean to upset you baby, how much for a full service?" he asked as he reached into his pocket for his wallet. I opened my eyes wide in shock then I lost my cool

"what the hell are you talking about, I'm not a prostitute old man" I yelled

He looked at me and began to laugh

"Well damn! If I'd known any better would've taken you for one with those little shorts you have on and those gorgeous new breasts you have coming in" he stepped closer to me again, close enough to whisper this time

"I see you just a little tease, got those tight little shorts on and that little tshirt so tight hugging that sexy body mmm I'd like to f*ck you over and over and over till you beg me to stop" as he said that he touched me in between my thighs just before my flower*

All I saw was red!
*smack*

"What the hell did you do that for you crazy b*tch"

As I saw a couple walking out of the bar over his shoulder I screamed "Help please he's trying to rape me!"

The couple carrying on walking in the opposite direction oblivious to my cry for help. I remember the mini pocket knife I have in the back pocket, i grab it and stab the guy in the thigh and he growls in pain. I make a run for it down the side of the store through an alley way, it's dark but the moon is my only source of light at the moment.

"I'm gonna get you b*tch" I hear him shout as he pushes empty boxes and trash cans out the way, he's limping but he's moving quite fast.

The bag on my back with all my belongings is weighing me down and it doesn't help that I'm unfit, but I can't let it go, it's the only things I have left. I glance back and realize he's gone so I begin to slow down as I get to the end of the path way. I continue to jog and I turn right onto another street behind all the stores. Slowing down I try to catch my breath. I continue walking kinda shaken up over what just transpired but as I gather my thoughts I hear a voice from my left hand side

"Thought you could get away b*tch"
'Oh sh*t he's back!'

I bolt across the street into another pathway between houses this time and I hear dogs barking at me as I run. I continue down the pathway till I reach an old sports field, it's pretty dark with all the trees but I run as fast as I can, anything to get away from this man and he has my knife, I left it jammed in his thigh. When I glance behind me he's a far distance shouting cuss words at me.

I make my way through the field until I find a patch of grass where I can lay my head for the night. I take out the sleeping bag I was given by a nice woman and use my bag as a pillow, recollecting my thoughts as I begin to fall into a deep sleep...

*bang*
'What was that?'
