The One That Got Away

Chapter 5

I took in a sharp deep breath as they carried on with the game.

10 minutes later and I was still trying to process what was happening.

Should I ignore it?

Or...

Should I tell him?

No. No, you can't tell him. He has a girlfriend remember?

My thoughts were interrupted by Gabbey waving her hand in front of my face. I blinked and looked at her.

"Um.. s-sorry. I have to go... do something. I'll be right back." I said as I got up and walked out of the house.

I shivered as the cool breeze brushed against my skin sending goose bumps up my arms as I walked along the pavement and down the hill.

I really should have brought a jacket.

I furrowed my eyebrows as I continued down the long hill deep in thought.

Roxy, you're just overreacting.

You don't have feelings for him and he doesn't have feelings for you.

He is your best friend nothing more.

He is basically your brother.

Don't think of him that way.

And he wouldn't like a girl like you with all the baggage that you carry.

He could get any girl in the world so why would he choose you?

Your nothing compared to all the other pretty girls out there.

Nothing compared to the one that could call him hers.

Nothing compared to the one that could kiss him whenever she pleases.

Nothing compared to the one that he loved.

Nothing compared to his girlfriend.

I thought to myself. I suddenly stopped and turned around on my heel. Many things were wrong with this picture.

I was in a dark alley that I had never seen before...

So I was probably very far from home.

I was standing next to drunkies who were making out with strippers.

And a gang of men were making their way over to me.

My first instinct.

Run.

And I did as my gut told me.

I sprinted.

When I turned a corner I hid behind a trash can and pulled out my phone.

I clicked the first number on my speed dial and they picked up on the first ring.

"Roxy, where are you?"

I heard chatter in the background but when he said that it was silent.

"Harry, I'm lost and some men are following me. I don't know where I am and I'm scared."

"What?! What are your surroundings, I'm coming to get you."

That caused shouting and worried words from the people behind him.

"I think I'm in an alley. I'm hiding behind a large trash can. There are a bunch of drunk people and strippers in an alley not too far from the one I am in. No one else is in this one but me. There is a dead end at the end of this one and I can hear dogs barking somewhere."

There are 5 things right in that description.

But if there are 6 things in there,

1 thing is wrong.

Can you guess what is wrong?
