"Hello."
"Hey boo... Are you still sleeping at this hour?"
"Yes Joseph. I got home from work late last night."
"Oh well.. I need you to come over.. Like a.s.a.p! It's important. Ciao!"

Ugh! I'm going to kill you Joe!

Joseph and I have been the best of friends since the first year of high school. No one wanted to be his friend, because he was gay which didn't bother him. Not in the least bit.
He works at Bloomingdales. He calls me every now and then so I try on some of the clothes he makes for them. I'm guessing that's what his call was about.
I slowly got out of bed and freshened up before leaving for my bestfriend's place, which was a 15 minute's walk from mine.

"Alright Joe. Here I am. Where are the clothes?"
"Girl what took you so long?"
"Just bring the clothes." I rolled my eyes.
"What clothes?"
"The clothes you make me try on?" I replied in a duh kind of way.
"Ohh.. No clothes today boo."
"Then why am I here?"
"I need your help.. I have a date tonight and-"
"What happened with Cole?"
"Girl, he's so yesterday."
"Wow."
"Anyway, I need you to help me pick an outfit for tonight."
"Sure. So what's his name?"

I can't believe I'm competing with my bestfriend for men.

Not that I'm interested anyway. I swore off men 5 years ago... since that incident.

"William. I met him at the club last night. You should have been there. You probably would have been choosing a dress for your date."
"It's not my fault I had work you know?"
"Yeah whatever."

After I helped Joe pick out something for his date it was already 4:00pm. We spent a few hours taking long strolls down the park. Joe later left to get ready for his date. I decided to stay at the park a couple more hours before  heading home.
On my way, I noticed a group of 5 men, heading towards my direction. I immediately turned back to walk towards the park.

"Where do you think you're going sweetheart?" I heard one of them say.
"We won't hurt you." Said another.
"We just want to have some fun." Another added.

Oh no.. Not again.

I begun to ran as fast as my feet could take me.

"Get her."

Oh God please help me.

I didn't even know where I was going. I was so scared. I just didn't want those men to touch me. Before I realized, I bumped into something I thought was a wall.
I was wrong.
It was someone's back. The person slowly turned to face me. I couldn't really see his face for it was dark outside.

".. Sir please save me.. Those men coming.. They want to.. They want to rape me.. Help me.. Please." I cried.
"Hey man.. We don't want any trouble. Just give us the girl." One of them yelled.
"No please don't."

The stranger just waved his hand and soon after, a dozen men were behind him.
As soon as the gang saw them, they were on their heels.

"Thank you. Thank you so- wait a minute.. I think I've seen you before." I said as the street lights came on.
"We meet again Miss Greene."

Then it hit me.

"Hottie #1!" I whispered loudly.
"Excuse me?"
"Ohh... I don't feel... good...I.. Think... I think I'm going to..." 

Darkness begun to take over, not before I felt 2 strong arms, preventing me from hitting the hard ground.
