Preface- No Time
Bella P.O.V.
Sirens blared from behind me as I made a sharp turn down the bumpy concrete sidewalk. My heart was racing, while my mind was still trying to comprehend what was happening.
Everything around me was a blur. My legs were burning, screaming for me to stop, but I pushed them on faster. Just then my dark brown eyes found an opening in the gray brick wall of a flower shop.
I sighed with relief as I willed my legs to slow. The sirens were closer now, just around the corner. I slid into the small opening and pushed myself against the graffiti covered cold brick wall.
The cop car that was making the blasted sound sped past me, oblivious to my hiding spot. Letting out a breath I hadn't know I was holding, I felt my phone vibrating in my pocket. It made me jump at first, but I calmed myself down.
A little jumpy today, Bella? I thought with a soft chuckle as I didn't spare a glance at the caller ID before flipping the small phone open, fearing it might waist to much time.
"Hello?"
