head back to work. It’s getting late now, I don’t need the both of us to get fired,” I said, and she groaned but got up and followed suit.
    Working at Impressions, a printing and graphic design company in downtown Manhattan had its perks. One, was that it was close to my house and two, I worked with my best friend Betty on brochures, flyers, posters, promotional items and more with only one person to answer to and that was Mr. Walters our boss. Betty and I were the best of the best at Impressions, so getting fired was never a thought, but you never know what could happen if you get on your boss’s shit list.

    After a long and boring day at work, Betty and I decided to go to a club that was only a few blocks away from us. We could have even walked there but Betty refused, she didn’t want to walk in her high heels. I for one didn’t do much to change my normal appearance. I just threw on a silver low cut V cut neck dress that I hardly ever wore because the cut was very low and you can practically see my tits if I leaned down a little too far to pick something up. I added some sexy wedged boots and was all set as we headed out to the club. I was right, it wasn’t as bad as she thought it would be to walk a few blocks, except for the guys that kept hitting on us on the way to the club. The night actually turned out to be worthwhile. As the night grew later, I could see that I was holding Betty back.
    “Go,” I shouted at Betty over the loud music, she looked at me like I had ten heads.
    “And leave you here alone? No way. What kind of friend would that make me?” She yelled back while shaking her head.
    “I’ll be fine, besides I think I’ll just head back home and try to catch up on some much needed sleep, since I haven’t been getting a good nights rest.” It’s so sweet that she is willing to stay with me even if it meant she was missing out on some exciting fun. “Trust me, go and have a good time,” I said to her.
    “Okay, you’ll catch a cab right? I don’t want you walking home alone. Especially at this time of night,” she asked concerned.
    “Absolutely,” I promised. “Now go before some other girl takes your place,” I say to her with a smile.
    She gave me one last look and smiled before going over to the guy that has been winking and motioning her with his finger for her to come over. As she sauntered up to the guy I let out a sigh and turned to leave. I walked out of the club and was met by a nice cool breeze, which felt good on my skin after having spent the last few hours in a stuffy nightclub. Before I knew what I was doing, I started walking in the direction of my apartment. I know I promised Betty that I would get a cab but it’s a few blocks, it’s not like I never walked by myself at night before. I came to think as I walked home that I expected a lot of things when I came to this city but I didn’t expect the peace I would find here. It wasn’t necessarily happy but it was pretty damn close.
    Out of nowhere, I heard a suspicious sound behind me and when I turned to look behind me to see what it was, I was suddenly engulfed by very strong arms, practically dragging me into a nearby dark alley. Before I could scream a hand closed over my mouth. I tried to fight him off of me but he had me in an iron grasp that there was no escaping. This was almost like the dream I had but this time there was no waking up. Tears of terror started too streaked down my face.
    “Shhh,” the deep male voice was at my ear. “It’s okay, calm down Angelina,” he said in a soft soothing voice.
    How the fuck does he knows my name? I tried to make sense of it but my knees gave away and then everything went completely black. As my eyes closed I prayed to God that I was dying but much to my disappointment I could feel myself regaining consciousness. I could hear everything around me again. We weren’t in the streets anymore, there was no sounds of cars blaring by down the street from
