Mav~
I'd be careful if I were you. I noticed a close breach to your security system recently so keep your eyes up. Message me if you need anything.
A little late on that one huh. I glanced through my emails on my phone, scanning through the most boring of letters. Nothing that important. I walked to my fridge, opening to find that it was once again empty. I let out a large sigh, not wanting to go and get more food.
"Is it worth starving. No. No. no…" I muttered. My stomach agreed with me on that one. I wandered over to grab a coat, shrugging it on and zipping it high enough to hide my face. The public was not a fun thing for me. I slipped on my headphones and walked out of my apartment. My feet padded softly along the carpeted floors as I entered the elevator, zoning out as I made my way to the store itself.
I needed to get more than just the basics if I was to make it a week without actually going back. I just needed to actually get good food. I grabbed more fruits and veggies, grabbing some materials for salads, some rice, and other boring necessities. Walking toward the checkout, I heard the familiar voice from the last time I was here.
"Look what we have here boys. The doll that ran into me last time." The gruff voice said over my music. My eyes flicked up to him, noticing that he wasn't the only one there this time. My stomach sank.
I gripped the basket tighter, hoping that he would just leave me alone. I really didn't need this right now. "I'm sorry sir. But I need to get by to check out-" I motioned to the machine behind him. All he did was a shrug.
"It's not my problem sweetheart. You were the one to run into me last time, remember?" He questioned, taking a step closer to me. A lump had formed in my throat as I met his eyes.
"I asked nicely the first time. I need to get to the checkout." I said quietly, a sour taste left in my mouth. I tried to step around him, making it far enough to the checkout to where I thought I was ok. The man didn't move, neither did his buddies. They just looked at me as I stood, scanning each of my food items. I paid quickly, grabbing my bag of food and practically sprinting out of the store.
The man had followed. He walked behind me far enough to make it seem like it was just a coincidence to anyone passing by. I had to lose him. There was no way I could go back to the apartment at this rate. I took a sharp turn into a side alley. A bad choice, yes, but the only one I had left. I turned again, picking up my pace to lose them.
"You can't hide forever girlie" The voice laughed behind me. I picked up my pace once again, now into a full out sprint around more corners. I made it back to the block of my apartment in one piece. Glancing around, he wasn't there. I ran into the building, not bothering to take the elevator and simply opted for the stairs. Fumbling with my keys, I managed to open the door and slam it shut. My breath was ragged by the time I collapsed to the floor. Not again. Not again. Please….
