Chapter 7

Addison's POV

I woke up the day later, my head hurts so bad and I was so dizzy but I had a lot of work to do at the center.

So I sucked it up, took more pills, applied heavy make up on my eye that was black from the punch and left the house.

I was kind of in a rush because I was behind schedule so I had to pick up the pace. That was when I ran into Scarlet. One of the girls in my centre. I guess she was also going there too.

"Oh hey Scarlet! It's been a while I've seen you since you went abroad for your treatment." I said to her.

"I just came back to visit my brother. The surgery was a success, still waiting to get tested again" Scarlet said.

"I'm so glad to hear that" I said feeling happy that she is doing better. "So what're you looking for in this neighborhood" I said to her.

"Oh I was just waiting for my brother" she said. "I am really in a hurry so I better be going" I said.

"No wait! My brother has something of yours, he should be here any minute." Scarlet said while holding me tightly.

I was confused as to why she was insisting I should stay but I was really behind schedule so I gently pulled away and started to cross the road.

There were no cars around so I proceeded to cross the road. I could hear people screaming my name from afar but I kept going.

When I looked to the side, I saw a black SUV turn from a corner speed towards me.

It was so fast I didn't have time to react. Before I knew...

Scarlet's POV

I had gone out with some of my friends and I was walking back to Luther's house when I spotted Addison from a distance.

I was about to go see her when I got a phone call from my brother, Luther

"Hello, Scarlet! I didn't know who else to call but the woman with the notebook. Uhh...Addison. she is in danger!" Luther shouted through the phone.

"Wait, slow down. What's going on. What do you mean she is in danger" I asked. "Remember the SUV I told you about that was following me? I saw the man walk out with the door open and I peeked inside the car to look" he said sending chills down my spine

"What did you see?" I asked him in shock. "Pictures of Addison, her schedule, plans and a gun!" He shouted through the phone.

"He is heading to Burlington road on the east avenue, I need you to find Addison" he said while yelling.

"I see her, she is in the road I'm on. She is about to cross the road" I said with my voice shaking. "Do not let her leave your sight, or else, she will die." He said.

"I'm on my way there, send my your location" Luther said to me and I immediately obliged

After the phone call, I ran to Addison who seemed to be in a hurry. I tried to keep her there with conversations but nothing worked.

I even held her hand but she pulled away and crossed the road anyway. I turned to the side to see Luther running as fast as he can.

I turn the other way and see a black SUV turn from the corner of the street at top speed about to run into Addison.

I screamed her name at the top of my lungs and so did Luther as he approached closer and closer.

I had braced myself for what was about to happen and closed my eyes for the inevitable

Before I knew it...
