Running From A Serial Killer

Chapter 2

"How did he find me?" I say to myself when I drive off, I can feel my breath start to get more rapid and short and I notice that I'm starting to have a panic attack. I try to steady my breathing and after a couple of minutes, I am successful in doing so.

It takes a couple of hours until I see then next town and I look and see that the car is almost empty. And as if timed my stomach growls and I realize that I'm hungry, so I pull into a gas station and I go in and pay the attendant for my put after getting some chips and a drink. After paying for the food and the gas I leave and start to pump the gas.

When I'm done pumping gas and pull out the pump and put it back in, I don't even hear the sound of the rocks cracking under the weight of someone's steps. I don't notice anyone there until someone grab me from behind, and I feel the cloth go over my mouth and nose, I don't even have time to fight back before I start to lose conscience and the darkness taking over, I try to fight the darkness until I hear someone whisper, shh, it's gonna be ok just go to sleep, the darkness starts to take over,and he takes the cloth off me, and I start to let it but not before I whisper the one name I never thought I would have to.

Max

-----------------

I met Max when I was 17, it was love at first sight. I thought we were gonna get married, have kids and grow old together. I was a big dreamer back then, we were the perfect couple, everyone wanted to be us. I'm still surprised he even started to date me, he was the popular boy that every girl wanted to date and every boy wanted to be, and I was the nerdy girl that everyone came to for the answers from and be partners with for a free grade.

I was surprised when he asked me out, the date was perfect, and after we started dating each other. We dated for a year, I was even happy when he asked me to move in with him after we graduated high school, and I thought it was gonna be longer. I thought everyone was fine, but I was obviously living in my own world because Max had other things on his mind.

Max changed, he started to get more distant from me and when I would ask him if I did anything wrong, he would just push me away. Also, around this time the police were looking for a serial killer that was killing girls. I never thought anything of it, where he was after work or when he was out late. I realized where he was when I went to go and visit a friend and she told me that Max was cheating on me and that she had proof. I confronted him and he got angry saying that I didn't trust him, I trusted him, I loved him, and what do I get, I get cheated on. I decided that we needed a break, so I packed my things and left, when he realized what I was doing he started to plead with me to stay, but I just shook him off and left.

After a couple of weeks, he called saying that he wanted to talk and I let him, he picked me up and told me that he was gonna give me a surprise. Driving out to the middle of nowhere never really concerned me. When we pulled into an abandoned building I started to get a funny feeling in the pit of my stomach. Before I could ask him where we were I felt something hard hit my face and snap my head to the other side. I looked at him through my blurry vision when black dots started to appear. I heard a door open and close and me being picked up, "you should've just stayed, you shouldn't of asked any questions, you should of just trusted me," I hear him say through my daze and then darkness took over.

-----------------------

I was woken up with a splash of water and a hard hit to my face. I opened my eyes and saw Max standing there with a gun in his hand. I looked at him with panicked eyes and I start shaking my head at him.

"No, please," I whisper to him. He just shakes his head at me.

"You should've just stayed, you shouldn't of asked any questions, you should of just trusted me," he said his voice shaking, I can see the tears in his eyes. I look at him and I know that I am gonna die. I shake my head at him to stop and not do it but he doesn't listen. All he does is raise his hand and aim the gun at me.

"I love you," he says and I shake my head letting the tears fall down my cheeks. Then I heard a loud crack of a gunshot and feel a slight pain in my abdomen. I look down and see my shirt start to get soaked in the dark crimson called blood. I then look up within a panic at Max and see the shocked expression on his face. He runs over and unties me and holds me in his arms, and puts pressure on the wound.

"I'm so sorry I didn't mean to, I don't want you to die, please don't die," he says looking from my wound to my face. I grab him cheek with my hand and make him look at me. I shake my head to tell him that it's no use, that I was going to die. He shakes his head and lets the tears fall.

"I love you too," I say smiling at him, I feel all the pain go away, and the darkness creeping in, so I let the darkness take over.
