“Jesus, Dani!”
“Sorry! What did you do to your head?” Her eyes widen as she examines the goose egg I now sport by my temple.
“Did you see anybody run out? A man, perhaps?” I ask her as I go back to the dressing room.
“No, I was arguing with my mom because she wants me to come home the weekend of the Toga party. What guy are you talking about, Cat?”
“The fucking guy that came into my dressing room and threatened me, that's what guy!” I rip the curtain closed and change back into my street clothes.
Grabbing the last three choices, I bring them to the counter and buy all three; I'll decide which one later. My adrenaline is in overdrive right now, and my heart feels like it may pump right out of my chest. After the saleswoman hands me my receipt, I grab the bag and beeline straight for the door.
“Wait up, Cat! What about my costume?” Dani hurries to my side.
“You can stay and keep looking, or you can use one of the two I don't use, but I need to get back,” I tell my roommate.
“You're scaring me, Cat!”
I stop short and turn to my friend, “I'm scaring you?” I point to my head, “You didn't just get your fucking head shoved into a wall and threatened! No, you were on the phone somewhere talking to your mommy.”
Dani gasps, “That's not fair, Cat. How was I supposed to know that you would get attacked.”
I take a few deep breaths, “You're right; I'm sorry. I'm just so jacked up right now; I need to get home and think.”
“What do you need to think about? You should be calling the police! Did you get a look at the guy at all?”
“No,” I look around at the people passing by, “I thought it was you coming in, and I started talking, and then bam, he shoves me into the wall and held me there by my head while he threatened me.”
“Well, what did he threaten you for? Did he want something? Was he trying to mug you?”
I start walking as I begin telling Dani about the note that my father received, “He told me to watch myself and that if I needed help and he wasn't around, I'm to go to the Lords.”
“He said what?” my friend exclaims.
“I know, right?” I chuckle, “He must not know how the Lords really are.”
“Do what you want, but I think going to the Sinners may be a mistake.” Dani's opinion is always welcome, and she's usually right, but I think she's wrong this time.
“No, not the Sinners. My father was specific, I'm to go to the Lords, and them alone.”
“Well, like I said, I think it would be a mistake, but hey, you do you. I'm here for you either way.”
I smile at my friend and then slip my arm through hers, “I'm so glad that they put the two of us together.”
“Yeah, me too!” My roommate returns my smile with one of her own.
