I just had to keep going, keep moving. If he ever caught me I'd be dead. He wasn't kidding when he told me he wanted the rent money, but I just didn't have it at the moment. Now I owe him over $2500. I had to go somewhere, but I knew no one. I was starting to think maybe moving to Los Angeles was a bad idea. Who was I kidding? I could never be famous I don't have talent. I passed a large building and turned into an ally that was swarming with dead animals and rotten food. I ran until I came out the other side and hid behind a news paper stand. I saw Mr. Robson run by and out onto the street. I stayed safe in my hiding spot until he gave up and went home.
"Hello... Can you hear me miss?" I stared at the inside of my eye lids as I laid there half awake. I wasn't really sure where I ended up, It was late and I was tired so I just plopped down. As I fluttered my eyes open I saw a nice looking young man staring down at me with worry in his eyes. I tried to sit up but fell back down on the cement I must have slept on last night. He sat down next to me and picked me and up and sat me up against the wall. "Are you alright?" he asked. I tried to talk but my mouth was too dry. I just shook my head yes. He smiled. "Why are you out here all by yourself in a place like this?" I looked around starting to take what was around me. I really didn't know what to say to him. I had no idea why I was here? No, I couldn't lie to him, so I just shrugged. I leaned up against the wall that was behind me, I finally noticed I was in that same ally way i ran through last night. I stood up. "You don't seem to know much do you?" he smiled at me. I wasn't really sure why he was talking to me. I was a stranger and I could be bad, but he just stayed there. Fearless. He must have taken in my surprised look because he took a step back. "Hey... I'm not going to hurt you." he stood there with his hands raised in surrender. He was insane. "I..I'm not afraid of you." I stuttered. He slowly lowered his hands and took a deep breath. He looked so confused. "Okay I'm sorry but I have to know, why are you out here dressed like that?" I looked down at myself and realized why he stopped to help me. I was still in my dress cloths I wore to my interview yesterday. Which may I say I thought I looked mighty buisnessy in it. I smiled down at myself. "I had an interview yesterday." I whispered, Remembering the horrible day. "What happened? Why are you out here then?" I looked up at him with a surprised look on my face as he put a hand on my shoulder. I shook him off starting to wonder what he was doing. It was starting to scare me. He was a little too friendly for my liking. I took a step back hit the wall behind me. He approached me slowly. I started to shift to the side but he put his arm out on the wall and blocked my path. I started to run the other way only to find his strong arms grip my waist. "I thought I told you I wasn't going to hurt you?" he whispered in my ear. I stepped back causing him to take in a sharp breath as my back hit his chest. He loosened his grip and I saw my chance. I started running again. He chased after me but this time I won. I hid behind the big trash can at the end of the ally. He slowly walked out of the ally. He turned and saw me cowering against the bin. "You thought you'd won didn't you? I'm really not going to hurt you. I'm going to help you." he sounded as if he wasn t going to save me but hurt me in ways he thought wouldn t hurt. He reached for me and when he was close enough I kicked him. I gave it everything I had. He fell down on the concrete ground and a little gasp came from his mouth. I stood up quickly and looked down at him. He had his leg pulled up against his chest. I didn't want to but I knew I had to. I closed my eyes and kicked him again. Causing him to roll over. I opened my eyes and saw a guy running towards us. He looked similar but before he came too much closer I was gone. I ran and ran until my feet wouldn't carry me any longer.
