Tears, hot and salty, slicked off her face. Mimi curled in on herself, not caring how disgustiing the ground was that she was laying on. The rain pounded on the sidewalk so badly that it sounded like gunshots to Mimi's ears. Gunshots.
The thought of the word caused her to shudder, which made the pain in her abdomen sharpen. Her thoughts began to return to earlier that night, when this horror started to unravel. She fought against the images threatening to flood her mind, but it was as if she was coerced into thinking them, and so in they went. There was alot of brouhaha going on around her.
Everyone was excited for Maureen's protest, as was she. She stood by Roger, a crony of her's. They both yelped with the crowd during Maureen's protest. There was a copious amount of people watching. Maureen, a candid young woman, was obviously able to concur with many people, judging by the size of the crowd.
The protest was going well, but soon it turned too boisterous, with people being pushed and shoved. Mimi soon found herself being whisked away, a pair of strong arms pulling her away from an oblivious Roger. She fought her way out of her captors arms and turned around to chastise them. Mimi stopped when she saw who it was-Benny. He was a cad who was the landlord of Mimi's building. He was often trying to cajole and charm her. She looked down at what he held in his hand. A pistol. She looked back up at him, her eyes pleading for him not to do this.
He looked conflicted, but then his face settled into a stony cold expression. She heard the loud bang before the pain registered. Benny's eyes widend, but before much else could happen, he ran off. Mimi was knocked to her knees by the pain. She dragged herself over to an alley and lay down. WHat had caused Benny to do that? Maybe she would never know. She heard Roger yelling her name, and feebly called back. She prayed he would hear her. He did. Soon she felt his arms envelope her, pulling her flush against his chest. She could feel his chest vibrate as he yelled for help. He bent his head over her, whispering to her to hold on. And she would. For Roger.
