He begins to creep closer and closer, his hands going to his pants.

"Hey dolly" he leers, "I'll make it quick tonight, I have shit to do" making it sound as though he was doing me a favour

I begin to sink away from him, trying to make myself as small as possible. 

"It's your own fault really"  he taunts as he grabs my wrists forcefully and pins me against the wall, his face inches away from mine, "you look so much like her" he whispers 

One hand starts trailing down the side of my body slowly...

"Juliet wake up" a far away voice calls,

"Come on Juliet wake up!"

My eyes fly open and I shoot up out of bed panting hard. After I get my breathing under control, I look up to meet the worried eyes of India. 

"You okay?" she asks softly, presumably already guessing what I was dreaming about.

"I'm fine" I reply sadly, not wanting to close my eyes again. Ever. 

She knows I'm lying, but doesn't push as she gives me a sad nod before walking out the door. 

Yesterday, after the beach, I just came home and chilled for a bit. Did a bit of drawing, ate some stuff. Just relaxed. Well, until I fell asleep. 

I check the time to see it's 7am. I decide to go for a shower, wanting to get rid of the feeling of his hands all over me. 

After I get out the shower I throw on my outfit and walk over to the mirror. That's not attractive. I have dark circles under my eyes and I'm slightly paler. I put on my tinted moisturiser and waterproof mascara. 

My eyes wander over to my jewelry box, and sat on top is the little green bracelet. Not overthinking it, I decide to put it on allowing a wave of nostalgia pass over me, alongside many others so it's less obvious, and head out the door.

I grab my skateboard and start to make my way to the chateau to see my friends. My friends, even the thought warms my heart. 

However, my attention is pulled from the pavement in front of me when I hear a honking. I turn around to see a large black car pull up next to me. I get a little worried before the window rolls down to reveal a smiling Sarah Cameron. 

"Now. Where the hell have you been Juliet Sanders. You're a hard woman to track down" she jokes,

"Ah yah know. Here, there, everywhere"

"Hop in" 

I don't hesitate. I haven't spent a lot of time with Sarah recently, mainly due to her new boy toy, but I kinda missed her. 

Once I'm in I ask where we're going, 

"You'll see" she says slyly. 

Why do I get the feeling I'm not going to like this...
