No Other
Chapter One
It was a normal day to say the least, but for some reason I felt happier. Maybe it was because the weather was surprisingly lovely and my boss wasn't being a dick. Yeah it was probably because my boss wasn't being a dick. I looked around the streets as I continued to walk down the usual route to my house.
The wind had started to pick up, and I regretted not bringing a jacket. The cold air hit my bare shoulders, a slight chill running down my spine. I bit my lip as I watched of what was ahead of me. A girl and a guy were arguing, I couldn't help but be nosy and continued to eavesdrop on their conversation.
The blonde pushed the guy as I made my way towards them, “Fuck you Harry, if you really think I actually believe you were just helping Kirsten with her shift you have another thing coming! You inconsiderate asshole.”
“You know what I’m done! We’re done. If you can’t trust me why the hell am I even with you? You selfish little bitch!” His voice echoed through the streets and people passing by were just as surprised as me.
He went up to her face, as if he was going to hit her and a flashback to my parents abusive fighting washed over my mind. He was going to hit her, and I needed to stop it. Before he even reached out to hit her across the face, I ran a bit closer until I was right next to him. I shoved him hard, making him fall on the floor. They both looked shocked, and so was I. I never thought I would have that type of courage.
“What the fuck?” He growled, his eyes throwing me daggers. “Who the fuck are you?”
The blonde looked nervous; she bit her lip as her eyes glanced between us both. I gave him a snarl before replying, “I saw what you were going to do to her! Who the fuck do you think you are? You can’t hit girls, you pussy! Pick on someone your own size asshole!”
The blonde began to speak, “its okay. He wasn't going to hit me.” I scanned her eyes and I could tell there was nothing but fear and guilt in them.
“Yeah fucking right,” I scoffed at her before looking at him. He was already back up and just staring at me in disgust. He looked like he wanted to kill me, and I could care less. “You my friend, don't deserve to fucking even be with her! You can’t treat girls like shit and think its okay. Who do you think you are?”
He shot me an angry look again before he began to blow up at me. “Who do you think I am? Who the fuck do you think you are?” He pointed at me at disgust, before motioning to his girlfriend. “This is my fucking girlfriend and we were just fucking talking before you came and shoved me! Are you crazy? Do you know I could press charges on you? You stupid bitch!” He shouted at me before he took a step forward towards me.
I was scared, but I wouldn't let him know this. He doesn't deserve to know that he is getting any affect out of me. His girlfriend must’ve noticed my sudden uneasiness because she whispered. “Let’s just go Harry, leave the poor girl alone.”
He didn't even look at her, his eyes were glued on me and I couldn't help but feel terrified. His green eyes stared into my brown ones with so much animosity and hate that I suddenly felt my stomach churn. He was good at making people uncomfortable, but I couldn't allow him to win. I wasn't just standing up for her now; I was standing up for me.
“You’re not going to intimidate me, so why don't you leave with your fucking girlfriend and get out of my way before you regret it.” My eyes never left his and I noticed now we were only a few inches away from each other. My heart beat thumped in my chest and I could feel my adrenaline rush when he just stared at me. I felt threated, he knew it.
He chuckled at my threat, “Hannah can you get me my coat from the inside, we’re leaving.” She nodded and quickly went inside the apartment complex. “Now next time you try to invade our fucking privacy, you’ll be the one regretting something. You got it?”
“No.” My voice was firm and my dirty smirk was plastered on my face. “I won’t ever regret preventing someone from hitting another. So you can fuck off with your false threats. Okay?”
“Rachael Anne McKinley, you need to watch you back.” How the fuck did he know my name? I’ve never seen this guy in my whole life, my widened eyes made me smirk now. “Cause baby doll, I’m coming for you.” With that said he turned on his foot and walked past me.
I stood there in confusion and I began to freak out internally. Coming for me? Rachael he’s probably just saying that to scare you! My subconscious said but in the back of my mind his sinister words made me believe he was being honest.
His girlfriend came out with a leather jacket and looked confused as she looked past me. “He left?” Tears were in her face and I felt sympathetic towards her.
I nodded, “I’m sorry-”
I was cut off with a frightened look and a quick, “Oh fuck.” She quickly passed me as she ran in the same direction as him.
I turned to see where she had gone and she immediately jumped into a black BMW before it drove away.
What in the world did I get myself into?
