I ran as fast as I could. I didn't want to look back, I didn't want to be reminded of anything. Tears were rolling down my face and I didn't know where I was. The street was dark, there was a dim street light. It barely helped see. I saw a car flash by, it's headlights we're really bright, too bright.

I came across a street corner, with a sign. " Hilltop Road". I didn't know where I was but I could see a shadow coming towards me from the alley. He was wearing a sleeveless gray hoodie, and a smile on his face. I wasn't able to see his face it was covered. I started to walk backwards, hoping the figure would walk else where, but he didn't he was getting closer faster forcing me to run. I turned around and ran across the street, I saw a flash of light from a car, a heard a screech, a honk and then a bang. I turned around still running, I couldn't see the face, but I could see blood flowing from the head of the body.

(Chris POV)

I ran after her, but suddenly lost her on a corner. I recognized this neighborhood, it was constantly on the news for robbery, murders, and rape cases. It wasn't a good part of town. I kept turning corners and running into streets filled with men on the ground unconscious and drunk. I finally came across Jen she was running, I ran after her, but realized someone had already found her. He was chasing her and getting closer. I ran after him. She came across a car busy street, I ran and reached the guy pushed him. He fell to his knees---

(Jen POV)

I stopped and jogged back to the car. It was Chris laying on the ground and a few spaces a way was the body I saw, the guy chasing me. I ran and kneeled, I was sobbing. Chris was unconscious and the other guy had blood spilling from his head. The driver called an ambulance and the police. I watched as Chris was mounted onto the ambulance and I sat next to him, watching the medical assistant doing all he can. Once we reached the hospital, he was taken to a separate room, his parents and brother were called. His mother had arrived in tears, sobbing and his father with a frown on his face. I told them everything that had happened, then the doctor came and had to speak with the parents. Niki was worried and Amber was there with her arms around him.

Everyone had someone to hold or to be held by while I was alone standing waiting to be told Chris was ok. His parents finally came and Amber, Niki, and I had gathered around to hear what they had to say.

Chris was put on life support, he had entered a coma of who knows how long. It was all my fault, if I hadn't run out crying like a baby, if I hadn't spoken about the subject to him, he would be fine, and no one would feel the risk of loss ....... Like me.
