I forgot to do this on my first chapter!

I was walking the town centre, not really heading anywhere.
Looking at my watch, I realised I had been walking for over an hour. So I decided to cut through an alley. I would get me home quicker.
The alley was damp, disgusting and dark. I began to walk faster, wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.
That's when it happened.
As I turned a corner, I saw three guys who looked like they could be part of Shay's gang. They seemed like trouble – the kind of trouble that can hurt sixteen year old teenage girls.
I turned back around the corner and pulled out my cell phone. I called the one person I knew who could help me.
Tommy.
"Hello?" I heard Tommy on the other line.
"Tommy, it's me." I whispered into the phone, afraid that they would hear me.
"Jude?"
"Yeah. Listen, i'm walking home right now but I need you to come and pick me up."
I could just picture his face looking at me wondering what the hell I was talking about.
"Sure, I can pick you up? Why, though? And where are you?"
"I was waling home and I saw an alley that would get me home faster and there are these guys who look like they'l l do something to me," my voice was wavering and I felt like my life couldn't get any worse. "I'm in the alley between the cinema and the strange shop that sells mexican food." I was talking so quietly that i'm surprised Tommy heard any of that.
"I'll come and get you. Be careful okay."
Before I could answer, one of the guys was standing next to me.
"Hey, you that famous chick?"
I nodded, too afraid to speak.
"If you're famous you must have money. Give me your money."
I was terrified. I hadn't hung up my phone, so Tommy was probably listening to everything.
"I...I...don't have any money."
The guy punched me in the face. I saw drops of blood drip down onto my shirt.
Then, if things weren't bad enough, the other two guys joined in.
After what seemed hours, someone else came running around the corner. Someone who I was actually happy to see.
Tommy. He was followed by probably the sweetest chocolate brown labrador puppy I had ever seen.
Tommy ran up to us and pulled them away. He was helped by his dog who started to pull at one of the guy's pants leg.
Eventually all three of the guys ran off, knowing that Tommy could easily 'kill' them (he goes to the gym three times a week!). Tommy bent down to where I was leaning against the brick wall. My nose was bleeding (as was most of my body) and I was shaking.
He handed me a tissue and I wiped my nose. The puppy came bounding over, trying to climb onto my lap.
This made me laugh.
"Tommy, I never knew you had a dog."
He sat down beside me.
"Well, tis is Megz, I felt like I needed someone to stay with me in my apartment. It gets pretty quiet sometimes. I was passing a pet store a few weeks ago and, how could I say no?"
Megz had given up on trying to sit on me and just sat infront of me, watching us, her head tilted, as if she was expecting us to do something.
By now my nose had stopped bleeding and I was only shaking a little.
"Tommy, thank you."
He lent over and kissed me.
"Any time girl." He put his arm around me and helped me up from the wall. My legs felt unstable and I lent on Tommy to stop myself from falling over.
"Listen, Tommy. Can I stay with you tonight? I don't want to stay at home on my own."
Tommy looked at me.
"Of course you can stay. But why would you be alone?"
I sighed.
"Sadie's going back to college and Mom left us."
And with that, Tommy just helped me to his Viper, Megz following closely behind us.
Enjoy. Please review.
