"When people work so hard to earn money, power, and fame, isn't it so they can live more freely, with more choices? If I can't even leave work when I'm not happy because I'm worried about what others think, then what was all that hard work for?"

Run bitch, RUN. I’m a pro at sprinting in heels and tight dresses and I’m pretty swift in my departure. The shock of it makes them hesitate so I get a jump start of seconds. Enough time to turn left down an alley out of sight and then left again, down another space, until I get to a recessed door in the street. It’s a total fluke manoeuvre, fuelled by extreme fear but it pays off. The door is set back enough and in the darkest of shadows where it is positioned.

Shielded in the frame of the opening as my hand scram

How can I stop myself? How can I push her away from danger, when the danger wants to follow her? “F*ck.” I roughly messed my head up, trying to crack an answer from my head. Then suddenly, I heard Elizabeth shouting outside. “Ahhhh!”

“It was awe full, as usual, doing business with you Tony. But it’s time for me to go. And, just so you know exactly who has the power here, if you lap dogs leave a mark on me, I won’t supply you anymore. Have a nice evening. But, I hope, you fall, in a ditch.” “Now!” He booms. The men all lunge towards me. Good thing a know this building inside out and back to front. I simply jump out the window. I land on the balcony a level down. My feet tingle on impact. I break the glass and climb through that window. Once I’m back inside, I run through the empty trade floor and sprint down to the underground level. Once there a take my pick of the cars. Tony’s shiny black Audi is sitting unprotected. I

I heard X exclaim as he took out his gun and fired it towards me. I shifted my position and managed to dodge the bullet. I gritted my teeth and took a deep breath. I felt like there was something heavy on my heart, making it hard for me to breathe. Shit. Just how unlucky could I be? “Get her head! Fuck!” Ace angrily cursed as I saw him move towards my direction. Goddamn it! I couldn't care about my body right now and directly turned my back to escape. The surroundings seemed to be unfamiliar to me. I was inside the abandoned building, and there were broken pieces that would hit my feet. I endured it and ran even faster.

“Leave, get out now! Go back to whatever hole you crawled out of!!” I flinched away from his grip but the sharp pain that ran through my legs sent me crashing down.

Chapter 2 “GET OFF GET OFF GET OFF” The words came out in a series of yells as I try to push him off. Kicking him should have made him jump and hold his knee in pain, anything of the sort, he really has the nerve to fall on top of me huh? I have a feeling this was on purpose. It was way too smoothly planned out.

An hour before the college application deadline, I jolt awake in my hotel room in Chanont. My girlfriend, Evelyn Keate, and my adopted brother, Marvin Needham, are nowhere to be seen. I immediately call them, reminding them to get their applications in before the deadline. To my surprise, they burst out laughing. "We're already back home, and we got our applications in last night. You still haven't submitted yours?" I can hear my parents criticizing me in the background. My mom said, "He's always like this. He's so careless that he doesn't even take his own future seriously."
