recovering.

I had only been
walking for about five minutes when i got the feeling i was
being followed. As soon as I fled the restaurant, I checked my
purse and realized I didn't have my MetroCard for the
subway, and I didn't have even remotely enough money for a
cab. So I kept walking, and did what I've always been told
to do in a situation like this. Make a turn, cross the street,
accelerate into a nearby business. Well, my version at least. I
walked a few more feet and turned the corner, glancing behind
me to see if the boy was still there, my vision didn't fail
me. I grabbed the pepper spray out of my bag and stood against
the building, waiting for him to turn into spraying distance.
As soon as he rounded the corner, the spray exploded into his
eyes.
"AH! What did you do to me?!" He covered his eyes and
doubled over in pain.
"What were you planning to do to me?!" I
demanded, ready to spray again if need be.
"What are you talking about! I'm not some sort of
kidnapper! I'm just going back to my apartment! The
building right there." I turned around and looked at the
brick building. It was mine, too. I just sprayed my neighbor in
the face, for no reason. Oops.
"Oh.." I didn't really know what to say, they
don't exactly make Hallmark cards for this. I reached into
my bag returning the bottle. "Don't touch it.
you're only making it worse, the bottle was nearly empty
anyway. It'll be over in five minutes." I pulled his
hands away from his face and he opened his eyes, locking our
eyes for the first time.
"Uh, what happened to your hand.." I looked down at
my hands, which were holding his. I quickly let go and saw that
my right hand was slightly swollen and bruised, nothing
horrific. I couldn't help but laugh at myself a little bit.
He smiled too, for some reason.
"Oh, uh. I kind of um.. hit someone.."
"Oh god, who?"
"My boyfriend.."
"Boyfriend, huh?"
"Well, ex-boyfriend now."
"Sheesh, I can only imagine why."
"It was for a good purpose!"
"Why don't you tell me about it on the way to the
hospital.."
"Oh, really, I can go myself."
"But I want to, I think I might have to be checked out
too."
"Hey," I hit
him in the arm with my good hand, "I thought you were
going to kidnap me!"
He laughed at me and
shook his head, leading the way to the emergency
room.
