Jade's POV

I couldn't have been any happier, and that's not something you'll hear out of my mouth very often. My last year at H.A Arts is finally over and my Mom had convinced my Dad to let me live in New York with Kristy, my best friend who just graduated with me. My Dad finally started supporting my dreams. Life couldn't be better. Right now Me and Kristy were shopping, we were leaving for New York at midnight tonight, and our graduation gift was money and a new car from my dad and more money from her dad. It was almost 7:00 PM.

"Hey, I'll park the car you go find a good store," I told Kristy. She nodded and ran off to find a store. As soon as I was done parking the car I ran in the direction Kristy had, I couldn't see her anywhere.

"AHHHH!" My head snapped in the direction of what seemed to be Kristy's scream. My heart started pounding and my adrenalin pumping as I ran as fast as I could towards the alley.

My eyes popped out of my skull and my heart stopped beating the moment I saw Kristy laying in a pool of blood with a man towering over her with a knife in his hands. He had curly hair and nerdy glasses. At that moment I knew what I wanted.

I wanted him dead.

As I was about to lunge for him, two strong black pair of arms grabbed me from behind and threw me somewhere behind him, making me stumble into another pair of arms. I didn't know what was going on, but I knew something bad was going to happen to me. I started pushing the guy away from me, but his grip only got stronger and tighter.

"Get her to stop," the nerdy one said with annoyance as I spit in his face. A few seconds later I felt a searing pain on the back of my head as my vision started to get blurry. But I could still hear things.

My heart filled with hope as I heard police sirens.

"Shit! Man get her in the car already," said the guy with dreads and another person shoved me in the back of a black van as my vision blacked out.

I knew this wasn't my end, this was much worst.
