Unknown lady

"you didn't come with your driver?". Nora asked as I entered the driver seat of my car.

We were all done partying for the night and they were all wasted, well except myself, I had to drive back home so I knew better than to drink alcohol though I really needed it.

"No I didn't, thought I told you when I came". I said while her eyes widened.

"Yea.....I remember sorry babes". She slurred on her words as her security guard helped her stand properly she was drunk and wasted.

"Addy I could give you a ride". Elliott suggested. "It's dangerous driving alone at this hour".

I looked at the time and it was already past 2 in the morning.

"I'm alright Elliott, I appreciate the offer". I said and turned on the ignition And drove off.

I steered the car down the quiet almost-empty road slowly, feeling tired with bleary eyes.

I know by now Mrs Abi would be really worried about me and she must be continuously checking the time over and over again, and checking the door if it would anytime soon.

I bit my lips nervously with the thought of having to trouble the old lady, who only wants to protect, doesn't wants me being alone but.....I don't want that.

I rolled down the window and placed my left hand out leaning my head on it while using the right to control the wheels.

Maybe I don't want to be alone, maybe I really need someone but.... I'm scared.

I'm fucking scared, he'll do I want to be alone again.

I don't want to grow attach just to end being alone again, I really hate it.

So growing apart from everyone, from the world was the only way to protect myself, my emotions.

Mrs Abi is already getting old, so what if I grow attached to her and then she passes on just like dad, or what if she leaves without saying goodbye,just like that did.

There are so many scenarios I always think about and the only solution was being alone, that's for the best.

I sighed, brushing my hair back as I increased my speed along the dark road, my car slicing through like a shadow.

Suddenly, a slim figure rushed in front of my headlights without warning.

I quickly slammed on the breaks and the car stopped just few inches from the figure while my chest kept rising in fear.

"What the fuck". I tried to catch my breath before opening the door and stepping out of the car.

"Are you ok?". I asked as I stared at the fragile figure sitting on the floor, her eyes widened in shock staring at my car which was just inches from her.

She looked up upon hearing my voice and slowly stood up.

"I'm so sorry about that". She apologised staring at the ground nervously, fiddling with her shirt. "I... I'm really sorry". She whispered.

I stared at her confused, it seemed like she was about crying.

"Are you alright?". I asked.

"Yea". She nodded before looking up at me, her brown hair wavy hair was all over her face but yet her light green eyes stood out as she stared at me with tears gathered in her eyes. "I... I'm really sorry about that". She apologized again.

"No it's fine, you didn't get a scratch did you, if so I could take you to a hospital". I said and went back to the car to get my phone. "There should be one around here". I continued as I opened my purse in search for my phone.

Suddenly I felt the presence again, right behind me.

My suddenly stopped breathing in fear that any move I make can be harmful.

This time the presence was closer than it usually was, it's almost as if it was just inches from me, like I immediately turn back I would come in contact with whatever has been watching me.

My lips quivered in fear and my hands trembled while my legs were already giving way and growing weak.

"Fuck". I whispered as I tried to do exactly what Dr Morris had asked me to do whenever I had this feeling but I couldn't, it was almost as if I was immobilized.

"Dad please help me". I whispered with trembling lips. "Please....". I bit my lower lips as a lone tear drop dropped down my eyes.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder causing my to immediately jerk up as I help the hand and twisted it in defense.

"Ahhhhh...." The strange lady screamed in pain.

I quickly dropped her hands in realisation while she stepped back, away from me.

"I..I.. I'm so sorry". I quickly apologised and rushed to look at her hand as she held it in pain, but she stepped back, away from me.

"No don't please....". She stared at me with fear written all over her face.

"No please it wasn't intentional I promise, I'm sorry".

She looked at me for a while before nodding slowly.

"I'm sorry for touching you like that, I heard you sniffing in the car so I thought something happend wanted to help, I'm sorry for startling you like that".

Confused, I raised my hand to my face and felt the hot tears on my face, I actually cried.

Quickly I wiped it off with the back of my palm. "I'm so sorry about that, I just felt that....". I paused, I just couldn't tell a stranger that I sensed that there was someone behind me. "Please hop on, I'll take you to a hospital,there must be one around here ". I said going over to the side and opening the passenger seat.

She looked at me for a moment, considering if she could trust me before entering.

As I closed the door, I glanced around through the environment to see if I could catch a glimpse of whatever has been on my neck but to no avail, the entire place was filled with trees and bushes, with just this lone road in the middle.
