She walked through the cold, dark streets of the unfamiliar city. It was only a few minutes past 9:00, but it felt much later. She stopped for a second. She heard a garbage can tipping and jumped. "Get it together!" she thought to herself. "You're a Spencer, you're not supposed to be afraid of anything." But she was.
"Why did I move to Brooklyn again?" She said out loud, shaking her head. She knew the answer to that. After she caught her boyfriend Johnny with Maxie, her so-called best friend, she needed to get away. But not so far away that she still couldn't see her family. She wasn't going to let those two run her out of town. She just needed time to think.
She snapped out of her trance when she realized she was lost. Her long, gray wool coat usually kept her feeling warm, but not tonight. She felt cold, frightened, but most of all, out of place. It was hard to tell the streets apart. In between the poverty and the vandalism of her new neighborhood there were no working street lights, much less street signs. She sighed in relief to herself as she realized she wasn't as lost as she thought she was.
She walked the path to her apartment, using the neon sign of the Italian restaurant as a landmark. She heard a car drive up behind her, but oddly, never saw it pass her. She stopped in her tracks when she realized she was being followed.
