We are Just Friends!
Chapter 1
Mackenzie's POV
I hobbled out of bed and got ready for work.
I work at a local bar as a bartender and a part time stripper. I sighed and thought about how much I wanted to quit, OH how I would love to but in this damned day and age there was no way to be sure I could find another way of employment without totally working a corner.
So, when we're one dancer short, I'm always the one who fills in.
As much as I hated that.. I needed the money. I put on my outfit for work, got my jacket, And left.
---
I halfheartedly did my show and then I ending up serving some people, drinks of course.
I was walking to one of my assigned tables and then I saw someone I never thought I would ever see in person.
I decided to just play it cool and not act like a total teenager and scream in his face.
"Here's your drink! And is there anything else that you need tonight?"
"Yes. You."
He winked at me as I smelled the alcohol linger in his breath.
"Haha, I'm sorry, can't help you with that."
I walked away and I could feel him staring..
-----
I had to walk home because the buses didn't run that late. But it was fine, I knew these streets backwards and forward.
As the chilling wind whirled around me, everything was so dark and so empty.
I felt as if I were being watched.
I walked through the alley I use for a short-cut home every time I work. But suddenly, I heard foot steps.
I started to walk faster. The foot steps got closer and closer until there was a firm grip on my arm.
"LET ME GO!"
I yelled at the top of my lungs, punching and kicking as hard as I could.
"Be quiet!"
He said, I continued to wrestle with him until I got at a good angle and kicked him right in the crotch. He went down and I began running as fast as I could.
I kept running but I heard him catching up. I was panicking so much I forgot which way to go. I ran as fast as I could and turned left at a corner, only to be trapped by a brick wall.
I screeched for anyone to hear me.
In a flash he was over me with a knife by my throat. This is it.
"One more move and I'll kill you."
He said. His finger was close to my mouth so I bit it and tried to escape again.
"HELP!!"
I screamed and then I felt his arms around and in seconds everything went black.
Harry's POV
I was walking back to my hotel when I looked down an ally and saw a man standing over a girl. When him and I made eye-contact, he ran in the opposite direction. I ran over to help the girl and recognized her face.
It was the server from the club. I checked her pulse to see if she was alive and she was but I knew if I didn't get her help soon she wouldn't be.
In my peripheral sight I saw a guy charging towards me with something in his hand. I braced myself, ready to fight and defend myself, and her.
I caught his arm and swung him onto the hard ground. He quickly swung his free arm at my leg and I felt a sharp pain. It wasn't enough to stop me though. I began to kick him and stomp on him. He stood up quickly, dazed from it all.
I punched him in the face one good time and he was knocked out. It was so dark I couldn't tell whether he was bleeding or not, or whether she was. I quickly picked her up in my arms and took her as far away from the alley as I could.
"H-Harry..."
She startled me. I thought she was totally unconscious.
"You're safe now.."
"You saved me, Harry...?"
That's all she said before she closed her eyes. She was no longer breathing.
Then I called 911.
