It’s been a week since the incident outside of work and my boss Fred was kind enough to give me the week off to heal and rest.
It’s also been a week sense I meet Chris and he hasn’t messaged or called me once to check on me or even just to talk.I’m laying in bed with the cover over my head ignoring the ringing of my alarm clock at the same time I’m trying to block out the light that shines through the sheer curtains I made the mistake of buying because I thought they were cute and fit the aesthetic of my small room."Sasha Nichole get your ass up or your gonna be late for work" groaning into the pillow I pick my head up just enough to check the time."Shit" it's 7:45 I have to be at the shop at 8:00 to open for Fred who asked me to open today because he had to take Monica his wife to the doctor.Fred and Monica have been married for forty years and moved to Portland in 1984 after their first son was born. Fred was friends with my dad who also happens to work at Fred’s place back when Portland was still a up and coming city on the growing map of places to visit for those looking for a new place to explore and before the now famous phrase “Keep Portland Weird” became a thing.I was seventeen when I started to work for Fred so I could help pay for my moms medical bills when they started to become to much for Tommy to try and pay by himself.I started to work two jobs once I graduated high school just to help keep the roof over our heads and the lights on while Tommy was always at the hospital with our mom.After our mom died we were left with a mountain of medical bills among other things so I left my dream of wanting to become a lawyer on the back burner and worked myself crazy intel we caught up on all the bills and eventually paid off the mortgage.I make it to work a little after 8:30 only because I went around the block to avoid where i had been attacked.I open the shop and tidy up a bit while I wait for Sofia to get in."Hi welcome to Fred's Place if you need any thing or have any questions let me know" I tell the small group of tourists that wandered into the the shop."Thanks for coming in have a nice day Mr. Jyn "I tell the nice oldman who always comes in to see what new trinkets we have, when the bell chimes and in walks Christopher with another man, bright green eyes meeting my dull blues both in in shock and not expecting to run into each other."Okay then” says Sofia “What brings you fellas in today" saved by the beauty I call a best friend who know doubt could feel the tension wash off me in waves.I mean I don’t have a reason to make things awkward and for some reason I have made it that way and I feel completely embarrassed because of it, but here I am standing with my mouth agape making that way.“Okay well I will be back in half an hour then you can take your lunch” I hurry in grabbing my new bag and walk around the register to leave before I make it even more embarrassing for myself then I already did."Hey wait” comes a smooth voice from behind me “It's Sasha right” I turn around bumping into his firm chest.He smells so good.“Yeah and your uh “ I pause for a moment even though I remember his name “Christopher right" my reply comes of colder then I meant to..I didn't mean to sound so rude but I did. I mean we just meet that one time and that was like a week ago so I shouldn't be mad over the small fact he didn’t call or text.He doesn't owe me anything or any kind of explanation but damn did it make me mad that he asked for my number then didn’t call or text and now he asks me my names is if he meets so many girls he can’t keep their names straight.It really is a player move and it might work for him but I for one am not the type of girl to just let herself be played like that.He is very attentive and wow does he smell good but I still can’t believe he asked if my name was intact my name, he couldn’t of forgotten me that quickly could he?Christopher was not expecting me to come off as rude or cold as I did and I can tell by the look on his face he was quick to masks which changed his whole demeanor. After a few moments of standing on the busy sidewalk not saying a word to each other only a few blocks from the always loud and crowded Pioneer Squire I clear my throat and ask "How about we grab some lunch and start over" It’s the least I can do after being so rude to him when I should of just been mature about the whole name situation."Um sure why” Chris shrugs his shoulder then start to walk off in the opposite direction “But I pick the place" he send me a playful smile showing off his perfect white teeth and two dimples."Sure I can live with that" nudging his shoulder a bit with my own once I catch up to his wide strides we start the walk making small conversation as we go. We come to a stop outside of a restaurant I've passed a few times but never tried. Standing on the sidewalk looking in I’m not sure if now is th
For the rest of the week after we had lunch I busied myself with work and enrolling into community college to maybe start pre law classes in the spring. Another week passed with out a word from Chris as he had promised and I was done watching my phone waiting and hoping that the handsome, kind and funny man I had meet would call and set up a date like we had planed to. “Come on Sash please for me” Sofia has been asking me to go with her to this new club but it’s not really my kind of thing so I really don’t want to go. “Please, please, pretty pretty please just one night it will be fun” “Fine okay will you get back to work now” I laugh pushing Sofia away from the register and point to the shelf she had been dusting when she first asked me. Closing up the Shop for the night me and Sofia walk to the max and go our separate ways agreeing to meet up in two hours at my house since its closer to downtown. Walking through the front door I see a bouquet of beautiful red roses on the kitc
As I'm waiting for my Uber I hear a throat being cleared behind me, looking over my shoulder I see it's Christopher. "What do you want Chris just leave me alone" I roll my eyes looking back at the street taking a step closer to the curb sending him a hint to just leave and to get a better look down the street since its a one way and busy at this time of night."Sasha fuck I'm sorry okay” I hear him sigh behind me “I've had a few drinks and just fuck I'm sorry I didn't mean to act like a prick" I want to believe him because I've seen many sides of him in the two short encounters we've had and I know he’s right he has had a few drinks and I can hear it in his voice."Apology accepted now just leave me alone" I softly say loosing all my confidence while rubbing my arm were he had grabbed me. Chris’s eyes follow my movements and he takes a step closer with an out stretched hand as if he wanted to touch my arm but he drops his hand and puts them in his front pants pockets looking down at t
Chris P.O.VParking my truck a block away from the Downtown police station I put a dolor into the meter then walk tell I've reached the main entrance. Taking a deep breath already knowing how it’s going to go I walk up the front steps and through the steel and glass doors.This has been my routine for the last three and a half years after my little sister V went missing and the Detective stoped answering my calls.I’ve come down here once a week for the last three and a half years and not once have I been able to speck with the so called Detective that’s supposable been working the case, every time I come here I'm told that he’s not available or he’s not in or some bullshit excuse about he’s busy.“Fucking pigs I swear. What the fuck do these assholes do all day and night jerk off” I come out muttering and cursing the fat fuck I've come to know as officer Knott.Walking down the steps I see a small girl sitting on one of the benches. I take a seat next to her getting a look at her cute
Chris P.O.VIt’s been a week since I went to see if I could get any information or talk to the detective that’s on my sisters case and I asked my best friend Tony to come with me on our lunch break to see if I could finally get to speck with someone about V.“Dude it’s been years why do you always do this to yourself” Tony has come with me a few times and says I should just hirer a privet detective and at this point and after so many years I think he has a point but the problem with doing what he says is that a privet detect can do shit off the books and go digging in places the guys in blue can’t.“We go through this every time you come with me Tony” he sighs and holds his hands up in surrender and walks up the front steps with me to the large entrance door.“I’m here to see detective Harris” I coldly tell the lady that’s sitting at the information desk.“Is he expecting you” comes the lady’s question in a bored tone.“No” I answer back with just as much boredom in my tone as hers.“N
Chris P.O.VPortland has always been known for its small markets and shops and there's this one small oddities shop I've passed by a few times as I'm going to and from work I figured id check it out. I asked one of my work friends if he wanted to come with me since I’ve heard him talk about the place before and he said yes. Kevin and myself walk the two blocks from the office to the small shop, opening the door as an older man exiting the shop I walk in after he has passed with Kevin right behind me.I'm greeted by a soft voice “Welcome in feel free to ask if you need help” I remember that soft voice from last week looking to the register pale blue eyes meet my green ones and a wave of anxiousness washed over me as she rushed to grab her things and leave as quickly as she could.Not wanting her to think I totally forgot about her even though I kind of did with everything that’s been going on lately plus with the new development my ex girlfriend seemed to of given the Detective I have
Chris POVIt's Friday evening when I get a call from Andrew inviting me out with him and a few other. After another week of not following through with calling that Sasha girl back I felt bad and asked her friend Sofia from work for her address and I sent her a dozen roses and a small car that said sorry on it, if she’s not some slut then she should no the there from me but I've only meet with her twice and on once of those times she was beaten sitting outside of the police station, so I can’t say for sure if she’s not the type of girl to just open her legs for any dude that looks her way.I'm at the bar talking to my friend's when I just happen to look over and who do I see standing there Sasha and she’s looking right at me. What the fuck is this bitch doing here? I excuse myself from my friend and go over to her, leaning down a little bit tell were almost face to face I give her a hard stare.Sasha try’s to joke and get me to calm down but it only pisses me off more and become very ag
Chris P.O.VThe next morning as fucking promised I called Sasha only to get her voicemail. I've been texting her and calling her all weekend and she hasn’t answered and it’s pissing me the fuck off. I kissed more ass in one fucking night then I had in the whole fucking six years I was with that cunt Raquel.It's now Monday and I know she works at the shop today so I get ready for work and leave earlier to try and catch her before I have to be in the office.I've been waiting outside Fred's Place for half and hour and she still hasn't shown up so I enter and am greeted buy her friend. "Hi welcome to Fred's Place if you need anything or have any questions please feel free to ask""Yeah hey I'm looking for Sasha is she here" looking around the small shop I don’t see her and the door to the back storage area is open and empty."No she called in sick" she looks up from the book in front of her seeing it’s me “Oh hey um Chris right” she asks pointing at me."Yeah, uh can you just tell her I
Demestic violance is somthing we try to hid and shouldn't.I grew up in Portland Oregon and know first had that horrifing things like the ones depicted in this story become nothing more then another tragic news story from one day to the next leaving the victims and their families feeling nothing but frustraction and anger.the Portland Police do have a few good officers and detectives who have and will continue to dedicate their lives to do just as their mato declairs "Serve and Protect" this is no way a bashing of the police deparment just a shout out to bring awareness to the many situations they fail to see or turn a blind eye to.Please if you or someone you know are in a situation where it is unsafe for you or your loved ones ask for help.
Third person POVThe truth had come to light making front page news and the police had hard core evidence to charge Chris with the murders of all three women he had once clammed to loved.The news of what Chris had done brought out many speculations and alot of pressreports about each girl and their lives before him and the affect his heinous acts had on their loved ones.The first repost to come out was of Raquel...“Raquel Salazar had meet Chris during a night out with friends instanly falling for his charms" Julianna Summers reports "She was a girl full of life with a eye for fashion. She was said to of had a passion for cooking. Said her roommate Daniela James" the sine changed to the front entrance of blue lake Park where her body had been descovered "We had the opportunity to speck with her mother Camila Salazar and she had this to say" Again the sine chages to the front of an apartmant complex where there were flowers and ballons covering the front entrace "Raquel had always b
Sasha POVi felt this strong pul forcing me to the front steps of Chris's house where I hear screaming coming from inside. the pull pushes me inside to see chris and the girli now is Veronica fighting on the floor. I tried to save her by calling out to Chris, I thought that if he knew I was here he would leave her be, i was so wrong for thinking that way.It was me who got the police here I saw Veronica diel the number but she didn’t get the chance to press call Chris had her phone flying into the wall, I heard the pop her scalp made as it was torn from its one skull.I called out to Chris using all my power making him hear me and see me, his eyes grew wide in realization as his once beautiful eyes locked onto my dead ones.In a flash I moved myself back to the precinct with only one destination in mind, I came to a hault in front of Detective Harris's desk. quickly I scaned over the many pictures scattered around the top of his desk looking for anything that could help him see what h
Chris POVI never thought that shit would get this far and id be sitting here having this convercation with a ghost “What do you want me to say V that I fucking raped you and left you for dead, That I killed the woman I was actually falling in love with because I was afraid she would be just like you” I stand taking a few steps closer to her in a utral fashion so I don't give anything away as to howi may feel or what I plan on doing.“What do you want me to say V that I killed the woman who was carrying my baby because she found the fucking clothes I had on when I killed Raquel” this is the first time ive actually thought about what I did to Raquel not that I'd bothered me or anything because in all honesty killing her only made my life better, I felt a sence of relife what I killed the stupid bitch.“Why did you do it sis” her nickname for me from when we were kids hits a nerve causing me to spring forword wrapping my hands around her neck I start to squeeze her thin neck with all my
Sasha POVI was dead and the man responsible for my untimely death was the one man I never thought capable of such horrible things.I was starting to fall in love with Christopher and planed on telling him how I felt but now I know that not fees can be trusted.I stood in a deep hole that I’ve come to know as my grave, watching as the crime scene detectives worked at all hours day and night taking pictures of anything they thought was of some importance.In the small amount of time it took for me to realize I was dead I learned that moving from one point to another was easy.Growing desperate for them to catch Chris was starting to become my mission and I’d try to look at the evidence they had collected trying to find something that they had maybe over looked but so far I’ve come up with nothing just as they have also come up with nothing.Standing in the kitchen I listen to another investigator explain what he sees “The trail of blood starts here in the Kitchen and giving the gravitat

I don’t know if I should tell Chris even thought he is the father what will he do if he gets angry and want me to get rid of the baby I couldn’t do that, I wouldn’t do that.Not wanting to risk another fight with Chris or wanting to see him I head down to the court house and file a restraining order against him to help protect myself an the baby for the time being. The lady I spoke to told me that its my legal right to not tell him if I don’t want to but if I ever wanted help such as child support I would have to go through a family.I still have time to decide on whether or not I
