Back at company, everything was somehow terrible. Papers would slip away from my hands, wind would scatter everything, people were differently rude to me today, my coffee spilled on my shirt and now I'm heading back to home with a ruined white shirt.
Thankfully, it's just a shirt. I changed myself but my mood was already shaken. Back on my way to the meeting place with my friends, I bought some snacks for us. Then a phone call...
"Uh- Hello Evelyn, how's it going? Look, I'll just spill it out, we cancelled the whole party thing so. Don't bother to come alright? Bye."
I stopped dead in tracks. My heart was beating faster than ever. Something was going to happen. I knew it. Then I saw their stories. Happy, partying and laughing.
They didn't cancel anything. They just made sure I'm not coming. So I blocked them all. Pulled over. An abondoned park. Sat on a wooden bench. Playing with my phone. Trying not to cry, but I couldn't help myself. I cried, sobbed, wiped my tears away. I couldn't bring myself to go home either. My phone was already about to die. %5 charge. Maybe this beautiful evening and wind can ease the tension in my body. Until I heard a voice. No I didn't. Yes. Now I did.
"Miss! Please! Please help!" A soft, broken voice. Calling for help, I looked around and found a little girl running towards me, weak and dirty, crying desperately for help. I immediately stood up and caught her before she could collapse on the floor. "Thank God! Thank God! Please miss... Please help me... They're trying to k!ll me!" She cried hard, I couldn't even speak before two twink man ran towards me one with a smirk and the other with a knife. I immediately defensed the girl. "Step back idiots! I already called the cops." I lied. They bought it. Maybe. But didn't back down. "We can take our time with you until they arrive, right?" I reached for my bag, a pepper spray. I fought with them with my whole might. They stabbed me from the abdomen. I felt the hot sting, then it started to hurt so bad. They run of course but I didn't back down, I reached for the little girl, I was her one and only person right one. "Where's your family?" My voice is broken and breath even. She replied with sobs. "You're bleeding... My family is not here." I couldn't deny it. But I could make things better. For now. "Get in the car. I'll help you, don't worry."
I lovked the doors when we both were secure, drove away from that cursed place, my abdomen and hurting like a bitch but I endured it with some tissues. I fed the kid, cleaned her face andade sure she was hydrated. "Miss! I know my uncle's phone number! You can call him!"
"Smart girl... But I don't have time for calls. Tell me the number and I'll text him."
She gave the number, my charge was getting lower and lower. I messaged her uncle. Send my current location and finally. When I felt like I was about to pass out... "Take the keys... When your uncle comes, push this putton and the locks will... Ugh- it will unlock the car-..." Then nothing. Only darkness. I was gone and lost a fine amount of blood. Pale skin, low blood pressure and sugar, low skin temperature.
I thought everything ended. My family... My fake friends... And now I couldn't even save a little girl. I could hear her screams. Thinking I died. I can't even twitch my fingers... Finished. Everything. Gone.
