Find Me Somewhere... Chapter One

Akira was sitting on a bench waiting for the bus, clutching herself, and crying. She had pain in my many places, especially her privates, and her arms and legs. Blood ran down her arms and on to her shirt. There were bruises on her face and all over her stomach. She couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe the man that she loved so much did this to her. 1

The bus arrived just in time. Akira got on the bus and looked around. People were staring at her like she was some sort of monster. One woman had her hand over her mouth. Akira sat down in the closest sit for a quick getaway when the street she lived on came up. She started looking through her purse for her cellphone. "Dammit..." she muttered, "It's not in here.." She slammed her purse on the seat and waited. 2

Violet Ave. came up and Akira pulled the cord by her head. She got up out of her seat, paused and looked over her shoulder. The people were still looking at her. She walked out of the bus and it went. All she did was stare at it. A little girl in the back seat turned around and looked at her. There was no more contact with those people. 3

Akira scrimmaged through her purse again to look for her keys. She found them, put the key in the knob, and inserted herself into her house. Her house was warm with the scent of apple coming from the kitchen.4

"Hmm, the pie is still warm," she said to herself. 5

Akira quickly went to the shower to wash off. The warm water dripped down her pale skin, went over a wound, and a light tint of red washed down the drain. After the shower, she got pajamas on, and went to the kitchen. She didn't bother brushing her hair, she wasn't in the mood. Putting a piece of apple pie on a plate, she grabbed the phone. She dialed a number and sat down.6

"Hello?" a voice on the other end answered.7

"Ricky? It's Akira. I need you to come over right now please."8

"Why? What happened?" he replied in a shocked tone.9

"I don't want to talk about it over the phone, just please come over." She hung up the phone.10
