Chapter 3 - I don't even care
Jade's pov
I didn't care where I was going, I just kept running even though that was becoming increasingly harder because my ankle was beginning to throb harder and harder with every step I took. I could see a figure in the darkness , a male that kept studying me with confused looks and I was so focused at shooting glares at him, even though I knew he couldn't see me, that I didn't notice that I had lost of my flip-flops until I stepped on a big rock.
I cursed it out and continued to sprint along the sidewalk, I was at least a good 8 blocks away from my house. By now I was basically just pulling my left leg along with me, it took all my determination but I just telling myself that no matter what happened to me here was better then being in my house. I realized that at this point I didn't even care if I died right here in the middle of the sidewalk just as long as I never had to set foot into my house again.
I passed a fire hydrant, well I'd like to say that I passed by it with my dignity intact but I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't even notice it until it was too late. I tripped over the stupid thing and almost landed on my face, but the figure caught me just before I hit the ground. I immediately found my feet and was about to attack the creepy guy for touching me when I realized something.
The male figure was Beck.
Beck's pov
I was right, the female figure was Jade who almost did an epic face plant into the ground. " Did the fire hydrant jump out at you?" I teased as she found her feet and I released my grip on her. The hand that I had on her back when I caught her was sticky and wet. Realizing this I lifted it up to examine it and it was smeared with a thick , crimson liquid
Blood.
