A New Beginning
Chapter 1
*Lida's POV*
I heard him calling my name as I ran furiously down the streets. I dodged swiftly through the couples already trying to steal kisses before the countdown ended, there was a group of giggling, obviously underage, and very drunk girls. I ran faster as I blinked away the tears that threatened to spill, i knew that once they began, they wouldn't stop. I didn't dare look behind me, at the owner of the now fading voice, he was finally losing speed. When I no longer heard his voice I slowed a little still trying to keep my tears behind my tear ducts. Despite my decision to run away I was still trying to register the events that had led up to now.
Flashback
It's New Year's Eve and I was getting ready for my first year anniversary with my boyfriend Ronald. I was supposed to meet him at the bar where we first met. It wasn't much but it was sweet. But it's sadly where we would part, well not too sadly, I actually don't why I had never left him before he's actually a little fucker! I stepped inside shivering from the cold winter wind; I rid myself of my heavy winter coat while my eyes scanned the familiar scenery of the bar. I stopped abruptly as I saw a couple in the corner of the bar. A man, with a woman. MY man, with a whore straddling his lap and her tongue down his throat. I pushed down my anger and walked to the bar and ordered a few shots. I wasn't DRUNK, drunk. But drunk enough to not care what I was doing as I walked over and pulled the slut off of him by her hair. She screamed as she fell to the ground and Ronald jumped up trying to hold me back but I pulled out of his grip. I pulled her up and punched her in the face, Ronald grabbed me once more, I flinched at his tight grip on my left wrist. There was surely going to be a bruise in the morning, luckily I was right handed. I brought my hand up and slapped him as hard as I could. I heard the sound of skin meeting skin echo through the bar as it grew silent. I ran, taking his momental surprise to my advantage.
End of Flashback
I was startled out of my thoughts as I fell to the ground. I looked to my left to see a man getting up, cursing slightly. He offered my hand to me as I gratefully took it.
"I'm sorry, I should have been paying attention to where I was going," I mumbled quickly. He chuckled lightly.
"No worries, love, I wasn't paying attention either. Lost in thought I suppose. I'm Louis, by the way." He lifted his hand causing me to flinch but I soon realized it was there for me to shake. I took it after a moments hesitation and smiled widely at him.
"It's good to meet you Louis, I'm-"
"LIDA!!!!" My voice was cut off by one louder than mine behind me. I knew that voice all too well. I tensed and quickly dropped Louis's hand.
"Don't think you can get away that easily you twit! You're gonna pay for that!" Louis's smile faded as he saw the shock register on my now paled face as I whipped around. Sure enough Ronald was there dodging and shoving pedestrians out of the way, trying to get to me. He grinned as he saw the fear light up in my eyes I felt someone behind me grab my hand and yank me the other way.
"This way love," he spoke hurriedly as he led us through the crowds of happy couples. I was numb to anything happening around me. I could only think about Ronald and the look of resentment on his face. I had only seen that look once before, and I still had the scars to prove it. My adrenaline started to pump as I followed this stranger, I haven't even seen his face yet. It was covered with dark sunglasses and a hat pulled far over his forehead casting shadows over the rest of his face. I trusted him though, I didn't know if his intentions were the same as Ronald's or not but i trusted him with my life. I don't know why but I did. I hoped he would help me, lead me away from my pursuer that's following close behind us.
"Turn down here and turn left at the first corner," he pointed down an alley as he stopped us. "There will be man, his name will be Harry. He'll help you and I'll stall this man." I looked at him, confusion clear on my face.
"Take off the glasses." I spoke slowly. Shock lit up his features as he sighed heavily. He lifted the glasses and I looked into his eyes. After a moments hesitation, I gasped as I recognized his face. He pushed me lightly down the alley and I took off running. Who did I just meet? What did I just get myself into?
