2024-10-29 19:42:56Her heart was pounding as fast as it could in her chest, her pulse high. It was dark but she didn't care as far as she was away from Valente.
Her feet couldn't stop bleeding and neither could she stop remembering the way she was forced to walk on glass, the rain couldn't stop falling and she could feel the heavy winds blow her way making her shiver heavily.
Her wedding dress that was designed just for her with sparkling diamonds, it's lower parts had been covered with mud.. She didn't care about all this but just kept running.
Her feet hurt with the more steps she took. Her head was pounding and her view was getting more blur but she had one thing on her mind and that's to keep moving..
The fear, darkness and pain within her also kept pushing her forwardShe could taste her tears from her slightly open mouth that was helping her to breath through this suffocation.Her cheeks were flashed and her hair sticking on her face, it was like her body was wired automatically to keep running and no stopping not even once.A memory of a gun being fired, hard slaps that sent her in the walls and many nights of unaccepted sex made a sob escape her cherry lips, the pain that came along with such memories was slowly eating up her heart tainting it with darkness. It was too much to bear for her as another sob escaped her lips. Her dress got tangled within her feet helping her to trip on her own legs making her land on her face laying perfectly in the mud.
The heavy rains didn't seem to cease, she pulled herself on her knees and arms and startled crawling like a new born baby that was trying this for the first time, she could see the highway in front of her and did the only thing that came to her mind to crawl there. Luckily enough she had managed to lose Valente's men who were on her neck a while ago.
She could feel her whole body shaking roughly making it hard for her to move faster yet that's what she needed at the moment.The loud sobs that escaped her lips loud enough for her ears, no matter how much she kept pushing and pushing, her body wanted to give up. It was becoming hard for her.
Yes the road was here in front of her eyes she held out her hand and touched it then another, yellow lights illuminated through the drops of rain making her look up through her hair that was all covered in mad. She knew this was her chance, a new wave of energy hit her and she crawled into the road stopping exactly in the car's way and decided to stand up with all her mighty.
Marco threw his phone on the passenger seat and looked back on the road only to hit the breaks so hard almost knocking the human being in front of his car off. He leaned back in seat and stared at her, her muddy hair covering up her face. Her figure being laid out in the dirty long dress she wore. She brought her arms folding them in front of her chest trying to rub away the cold as he noticed her shiver.
He opened his side door and stepped out, her face turned his way as he closed the car door, he knew that she was watching him through her hair. He didn't mind the heavy rains but just did all he thought was right that moment, he pulled his black leather jacket off his body remaining in only a white long sleeved untucked shirt and walked over to her. He noticed the way she stepped back as he approached her and stood still.
She eyed the jacket then his face, " I don't know who you are but let me help you " he whispered, his voice calmer than he ever heard him self speak and took another step towards her, gladly this time she didn't flinch away allowing him to come closer to her body and place his beautiful jacket around her dirty shoulders.
Her hands rushed and grabbed it pulling it close to her body and he smiled beautifully. He held out his hand for her and she stared at him again then at his large and held out her shaking one slowly. She felt the need to pull it back but looking up at his face, she placed her small palm in his allowing it to wrap around hers tightly.
He started to walk with her around his car and opened the back seat for her, he nodded for her to step in and she did that sitting comfortably as he closed the door and then also got in to his seat behind the wheel.
He held the rearview mirror and positioned it so he could see her and whatever she was doing before looking at the front and deciding to drive off.

She almost jumped back at Marco's voice.She didn't expect him to be around by the time she woke up, her eyes slowly opened.Looking up she saw him getting dressed ready to leave, "Marco" her voice was so small and husky but still it made his heart flatter.She sat up pulling the white sheet around her body looking at him"I need a date tonight" he replied turning around to look at her."Okay..."
