"Kathy, Katie! Hurry up!" Ally yelled. She was almost running, trying her best to make it in time for the concert. Katie was catching up to her, but unfortunately I couldn't. You see, Ally had convinced me to wear high heels for the night. She said together we'd dress overly formal as a joke. It was supposed to be funny. So I was dressed in a short dress, high heals, hair done up nicely. I met Ally and Katie up at the pub. Katie takes one look at me and bursts out laughing. She asked me if I knew that we were just going to a concert. Ally laughed with her, completely forgetting that she was the one to convince me to dress that way. Completely forgetting that she was supposed to dress up as well.
Eventually my heel broke and I lost Ally and Katie. I decided to stop trying to keep up with them and just try to get there. I finally arrived at the concert and wasn't allowed in. Why? Because Ally had my ticket. So I was forced to wait for five hours for the concert to end because neither Ally or Katie would answer their phones and come rescue me. Finally the concert ended and Ally and Katie exited the hall laughing together. They took one look at me and automatically laughed.
"Sorry, man! We lost you on our way here!"
"Have you ever heard of this magical thing called checking your phone?" I asked furiously
"Kathy, chill! It's just a concert. We didn't mean to leave you out" Ally said.
"It was five hours!" I yelled.
"Hey, chill, Kathy. Just chill" Katie tried to hand me a rolled up joint. I smacked her hand away and she dropped it.
"You freaking idiot!" she yelled. "that costs good money!"
"So did my ticket! To a concert that I never got to go to! Now do me a favour, will you? Leave me an Ally alone! Come on, Ally. Let's go." I turned around to leave, expecting Ally to be by my side and support me, like I had done countless times for her. But she didn't. When I heard the lack of footsteps I turned around and saw her looking down. "Ally?"
"Sorry, but... Kathy you're being mean. I mean, I know you're angry, but I think you should apologize."
"I will not apologize! I'm leaving. With or without you. I don't care anymore!" I turned around and stomped away. I expected her to run after me after she realized how serious I was. But she didn't.
It took me a couple blocks to realize that. When I did, I burst into tears. I dragged my feet just trying to get home. And then it happened.
I was passing a pub and there was a lot of shoving. I heard chairs scraping the ground and glass breaking. Obviously, I tried to avoid it. I crossed the street. But, little did I know, those men weren't fighting. No, they were just drunk. They saw me, short dress, in high heels, crying my eyes out. I was already in distress. I was the perfect victim. They walked towards me. Once I realized what they were thinking about, I tried to run. I tried to get away from them. But they caught up to me. They shoved me around and started calling me names.
I'm not sure what happened next. I think one of the men had a glass shard from one of the broken bottles. All I remember is that I was shoved into him and all of a sudden I was in enormous pain. I couldn't breathe and I could hear the men around me gasp as they realized what had happened. I clutched my stomach, trying to find where things went wrong. Immediately my hands were full of blood. I fell to the ground. All the men ran away. I was left there to bleed. I was left there alone.
I was left there to die.
