I made the worst decision of my life when I was 20, it wasn't like bashing daddy's favorite car or losing my virginity in a drunken one night stand, no it was way worse.

I was currently clutching my lower abdomen, my bloodied lower abdomen heaving breaths at the side of a desolate building.

The pain was almost, no,it was unbearable and I went dizzy slipping over a wood in the corner and crashing face down into the concrete.

I yelled out sobbing. I'd never been this helpless before.

I looked at the darkening sky and chilly weather , a storm was definitely oncoming, even the universe was against me!

I held my breath stilling when I heard voices coming from the corner "she went this way daug"

I crouched and sniffed cursing my shitty luck, I was definitely as good as dead once they see me.

Today's not been a good day AT.ALL

Two months ago, I was a normal, stressed young lady coming home from work, I had a night shift which I normally don't do but I needed the cash, things had been pretty tough lately.

I always put on ear buds but never play any song, that would be unwise and reckless when creepy dudes and perverts could sneak up on me but with the ear buds i could ignore without provoking them.

I was extra cautious of my surroundings after all the neighborhood was no where near safe especially for a young female.

I grasped my pepper spray tighter and continued walking when I heard a bang, shrieking in reflex, my eyes wide open watching a man in an alleyway go down lifeless.

It wasn't unusual to hear gunshots in this part of town but it was my first time hearing and seeing it so close by.

I picked my pace hoping to get home safe when I saw a shadow move in the distance, I dialed 911 whilst changing route turning to the next street before walk-running. I looked back to see if I was being followed only to smack into someone dropping my phone, the fear that gripped me was unexplainable as I shivered before shutting my eyes tight.

"I'm sorry about that" I said while trying to go around whoever it was with my eyes closed

My breath got stuck when he grabbed me by the arm "Aren't you a pretty one, what are you doing walking so late" his voice was deep and dark, sounded hoarse he is most definitely a smoker

My whole body shook, I didn't want to think about how badly this could go "From work sir,I'm coming from work"

He chuckled "You can open your eyes I know you saw"

I held back a sob as he held me tighter "I swear I didn't see your face I swear"

"Open them!" He commanded

I looked up to see a young guy couldn't be over 24, he had dark afro hair and a crooked smile, his eyes were a very light brown and he was probably around 5'9.

My eyes were probably red, brimming with tears when he caressed my cheeks "you know I have to kill you don't you" he said as a matter of fact

"I-i will shut my mouth for the rest of my l-life, I won't say a w-word about this please-e let me g-go, I have a younger brother I take care o-of" I said in hysterics pleading tears dropping down my face

"No can do sweetheart but first" he said as he put his gun back into his pockets and started to unbutton my shirt, roaming his hands over my body feverishly. "Fuck you are sexy"

I sobbed saying a quick prayer before hearing a siren, a cop car approaching, immediately I took my pepper spray out and sprayed the poison onto him before running to the car.

"Fucking bitch!!" He roared before shooting blindly in three successions at me, missing his target.

The cop got out and fired back after making sure I was safe.

He took me to the station where I gave a statement and a description and I was informed that I was to testify against a member of a dangerous crime syndicate in New York City. Yay me right!
