My breath was heavy, I could hear my heart thudding in my chest as I panicked, trying to escape whatever it was that was chasing me. My boots thudded down on the pavement, I felt sweat beading down my face but I couldn't stop or they'd catch me, I couldn't stop or I feared the worst could happen. I couldn't die tonight, I didn't want to die tonight.
The alley was dark as I bolted through. I didn't want to turn down here but the road led to a dead end and I'd be lucky if I didn't reach one at the end of the alley. I could hear them gaining on me, I could hear their breath as they came closer and closer and I realized I wasn't going to be able to outrun them, I was going to get caught, I was going to die.
Suddenly all those thoughts faded as my body smacked into someone else's, Someone who came around the corner from the street as I came to hit the footpath once more. We hit the ground, tumbling into the ditch.
"Get off me idiot" Those were the first words I ever heard him say... And words I wish had never been said.
