Ashley and I were still in the elevator. We arrived on the bottom floor and walked out into the lobby. Then out to the street. About two blocks down read a sign that said “Asia Inn”. We arrived at a crosswalk, we waited to cross with an old woman. She noticed Ashley and me

“Well aren’t you two a cute couple” She smiled and said to Ashley

“Oh we’re---

“Reminds me of young love, oh how I miss it”

This time Ashley just smiled at her

The signal went off safe for us to cross the street.

“Hey Meg?”

“What?”

“Wanna race?”

“HECK YEAH PURDY”

I ran as fast as I could, I almost ran over someone, but Ashley still beat me. Damn him. We ordered a lot of food and carried it back to the studio. Everyone dug into the food like rabid animals. I sat on Andy’s lap as I ate. Once we were done eating Sammi and I kissed our boyfriends and had to let them get back to their work so we went shopping

We went into Wet Seal, I like their clothes, it’s punk enough for me. There was a striped black and white dress on sale. I had to have it. I’m not one to wear dresses but this dress was amazing.

“Try it on Meg” Sammi said as she noticed me eyeing the dress

“Ok” I replied grabbing the dress off of the rack

I changed in the dressing room and came out to show Sammi, I looked in the mirror. Sammi came up behind me.

“Get it, you look amazing, it would make a sweet party dress”

“I will” I smiled

Sammi found a few things of her own to try on. She modeled them, we took dorky pictures. After we left Wet Seal with some new things we stopped by at Spencer’s gifts, I found a Batman belt buckle for Andy. You know that store only gets scarier the further you go back. It made me think of Ashley. After Spencers we found a Starbucks. It was so nice outside we decided to sit on the patio and enjoy our iced coffee.

“Hey ladies, whats up?” I heard a voice behind me

OH GREAT. IDIOTS TRYING TO PICK UP GIRLS

“Just enjoying our coffee” Sammi answered

I turned around to get a look at our flirters. Surprisingly they were good looking and our types. One had long black hair almost like Andy’s and he had an eyebrow piercing. The other one’s hair was brown and longish with one side shaved like Sonny Moore and he snake bites.

“Mind if we join you?”

“Oh, sorry we’re already taken” Sammi answered

“Oh, well enjoy your coffee”

They left defeated. Oh well. Sammi and I went to a few more shops, we got kicked out of one because I guess it’s frowned upon of you open a package of Sharpies and draw on each other. We were gonna buy them anyway, their loss on four dollars. It started getting dark, it was about seven o clock when Sammi and I decided to get a bite to eat at Burger King. The guys texted us and told us they were ready to leave in a half an hour. Just enough time to walk down there and meet them.

We started walking back towards the studio. It was a little creepy in the dark out here, with all the creeps running around at this hour. We started walking past a dark ally, we heard voices, when we were close the voices stopped. Two figures came into view. The two guys we met earlier. I got an extreme bad feeling in my stomach from the way the two guys were looking at us. I looked at Sammi, her face read fear. She looked at me, I could tell in her eyes she was saying run.

We did, the opposite way into the other ally across the street. We had to escape. Escape anywhere. They two guys caught up to us easily. The one with Black hair grabbed hold of Sammi’s arm. I stopped to try to wrangle the guys grip off of her arm. Which only resulted in the other guy grabbing hold of me. He pushed me up against a brick wall, and covered my mouth. The other guy had Sammi pinned to the ground as if she weighed like a feather. She got a tiny squeal out before her mouth was covered. The guy straddled Sammi’s waist holding her down. The guy that had me pushed me even harder against the brick wall I could hardly breath, he started unzipping my jeans. The horror running through my mind was unbelievable. I looked at Sammi on the ground she was trying to keep the guy from pulling her pants off, she was crying and so was I. We couldn’t scream. We were in a dark ally were no one could see us. I tried to push him off of me, he moved out of the way and let me fall on the ground, I couldn’t get up fast enough before he was on top of me straddling my waist. He stuck his hand up my shirt and down my pants

“Sammi, Meg!?” we heard voices in the distance

“WE were supposed to meet remember?!”

I bit the guys hand he let go of my mouth just long enough for me to scream

“Andy!!!!” I screeched showing fear and urgency in my voice

I heard running foot steps into the ally. All five of the guys came into view. The horror on their faces. Jinxx immediately pinned the guy on top of Sammi to the ground and started beating his face in. Jake helped Jinxx after Jinxx moved over to Sammi to hold her. Andy kicked the guy on top of me in the gut. He fell to the ground on his side. Ashley immediately starting beating him up. Andy held me in his arms, I was bawling like crazy. CC was egging Jake and Ashley on as they beat the shit out of the two guys. Jinxx was holding Sammi, her face buried in his chest

“Are you ok?!, did he hurt you?!!” Andy asked

“I’m ok” I cried into his chest

“I’ve got you, you're safe in my arms”

The two guys were knocked out now. CC called the police. Soon there were flashing blue and red lights. Everything was a blur, I didn’t even want to talk. My ears rang. Andy took me back to his place, he had his arm wrapped around me the whole car ride. He took me into the bathroom and started the shower for me. He left so I could change out and get in the shower, he came back in once I was covered behind the curtain.

“Meg, what can I do to help hon?”

“Just hold me all night, and never let me go”

“I will”

Once I was done showering and dressed the second I walked out the bathroom door I was in Andy’s arms. He held my face and kissed me passionately and looked into my eyes.

“Meg, I love you”

“I love you too” I said holding back my tears. I ended up crying

Andy pulled me into his chest. I was bawling.

“shhhh, shhhh, it’s ok Meg, I’ve got you”

He kissed my head. Then he carried me into his bed. He laid down facing me while holding me. He kept kissing my cheeks, my nose, and my forehead, which made me smile. He did eventually fall asleep. He never let go of me the whole night. I was awake the whole entire night.
