1 Chapter One

SUMMER POV

I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm. I am a morning person but sometimes I need a break from waking up at freaking 8 in the morning. I get up from my bed and go to my bathroom to shower. After showering for 20 minutes and almost bussing my ass on the floor, I did the rest of my hygiene routine. When I stepped out of the bathroom I walked into the hallway smelling food. More specifically, I smelled .... BACON ! I instantly run to the kitchen where my bestfriend Bianca was cooking breakfast.

"Woah woah Summer. Calm down the food is almost ready. I'm making Waffles, Bacon, Eggs, and Grits." Bianca said.

"Mmmm it smells so gooooddd. I'm so hungry", I replied.

I was just about to grab a piece of bacon before Bianca swatted my hand away. "Why aren't you ready for work yet ?" she said.

"ughhhhh....Do I have to ?" I asked

"If you want us to continue living in this nice, well furnished humble abode... then yes. We both do." she replied.

I go upstairs to get dressed in my work uniform. Bianca and I are waitresses at a nice restaurant downtown of our city. They pay pretty nicely, which is why we never have to worry about our bills being late or not getting paid. One of our checks could take care of rent itself! Our work uniform is a black mini skirt and a black halter top to match. We also wear black heels that we have to walk in all damn day, which by the way, is very uncomfortable. I get dressed and meet Bianca downstairs. After finishing breakfast, we get in our separate cars and leave for work. Even though we are going to the same place, when we get off of work we like to go different places sometimes.

I've been at work for about an hour now and let me tell you... Today is a busy day. I don't know why in the hell everyone chose to come here today, but oh well. More tips for meeee . I just sat down another order when a co worker gave me another table to assist. I walk over to the table and understand why she wanted me to take their orders. My co workers and even my boss has been trying to get me into dating, smh. There were 2 overly handsome men at the table. One in particular was just God heavens FINE ! Like how is he even real? He had low cut dark black hair, his jawline was sharper than my mean mug which is quite strong, his skin was so smooth looking and tan, his eyes looked like they could stare you down forever, and even in that suit I could tell that he was built nicely. The guy next to him had low cut brown hair in slight waves. His face looked more friendlier than the other guys, but they both looked serious. His face was handsome, not as enchanting as the other guys though. They must be celebrities, they have to be. And the one that stood out to me was staring at me. But he wouldn't catch me, oh no sir. I regain my composure and professionally ask them "Hello, Welcome to our restaurant, are you ready to order?"

The one who catches my attention continues staring at me, then looks down and tells me his order. His voice is like music to my ears. It's deep but not too deep. The other guy gives me his order as well and then I leave their table. As I walk away, I feel them watching me. I hope they weren't looking at my ass because I'm rather small for my age. I'm 22 and and only stand at 5'2. Im also petite sized, Im skinny but I have a little meat on my legs and my ass is the right size for me. My boobs are as well, so If a guy wants a slim thick girl they wouldn't mind me at all. Unfortunately, I will not be the one to bring the two men their food so that is my last time seeing them.

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

The rest of the work day goes by normally. Right now I am clocking out. I walk out of our back door and decide to go for a walk, even though it's pretty dark outside. I walk down our street and hear voices yelling. I start to walk more quietly just incase they are listening. It feels like i should turn around but I can't. What if someone is getting hurt ? I could be their only chance to help them. I continue walking towards the voices until I come to a dark valley. I see three men, and one is against the wall bleeding and begging them to stop beating him. As I watch more closely, I see one man pull out a gun. I raise up off the ground, realizing only now that I was sitting. I walk closer to them until ... I saw one of the men shoot the man to death. They then look around and see me, so I did what i felt like doing. I ran. "Hey, get back here !!" one of the guys said. And the chase was on.

I ran down the street and passed buildings, since I was nowhere near my car, I kept on running. I kept running until they cornered me in another valley space. 'Damn this town has a lot of valleys, shit' I thought. They approach me and i recognize them as the two handsome men from the restaurant. As the overly handsome one tries to grab me, I kick him in the balls. The other one grabs me from behind, so I flip around and give him a good punch. But that punch didn't stop him for long, he regained his strength and hit me in the head. The other one got up from the ground and that's all I remember seeing before everything blacked out.
