That Night, She should have left her mom a Message...

It was a little past 12, when she got home. She snuck in through the back door, only to see her mother standing there with an iron cord rap around her hand. "Where were you, I 've been calling your cell phone and didn't pick up not one time, so where were you?"
Her mother was getting heated by the minute. She didn't know whether to tell her mom where she was because whatever she said didn‘t matter she was going to be on punishment anyways. After her mother was done yelling at her, she went upstairs to put her things in the coat closet, when all of a sudden her mom took the iron cord and whack her across the legs with it. “Don’t let it happen again, I mean it”. Her mother yelled. Her mother wack her with the iron cord her until she got to the coat closet. “I think she wants me to cry’’, the girl said in her head. The girl was on punishment for a week. No phones calls, no video games, no company, basically no air. She could only go to work and no play. But what her mother didn’t know was the girl was very slick talking and she could ease her way out of anything. That week the girl did everything she was ask to do by her mother. Wash clothes, vacum the house, wash dishes, take out the trash, and fold clothes. She was cindrella for 4 days. On 5th day, the girl had a game plan for her mother. She was going to slick talk her mother and go out with her friends. It was around 5 in the evening when her mother came home, she was exhausted. She had had an hard day at work. “Hi mom let me get that for ya”. She said with a big smile. The girl made her mom feel really comfortable and relax. So at this point the girl was ready to go in and attack her mom with the big question. “UUMMM mom, before you say no, I’m sorry. I didn’t understand why you were so hype leaving me messages on my phone, or even calling a 100 times. But I understand as a parent you get really worried about where your child is. Like I was watching the news today and so many girls have been kidnap, that could be me but it won’t because I will call you or answer whenever you call.” The girl was making the whole thing up, but it didn’t matter because at this point her mother was already to deep into what the girl was saying. So her mother gave her another chance and told her she could go out Saturday. The girl was excited she called all her friends and told them the great news and told them to cancel anything they had plan because they were gonna have a “lady’s night out”. That night the girl went to work. She was so happy her plan work that she was actually being nice to all her customers. She was on the register ringing customers smiling and greeting them. But it seems one customer got a little to friendly. He was a tall black man with braids half black and gray. He look like he was in his mid-40s. “Hi how you doing”, he said as he lick his lips. “UUMM fine”. At this point the girl didn’t want to have a conservation with this guy because she knew where he was going. “So how old are you,” ‘’young’’ she said quickly with a smile. “What time ya’ll close” “9”, Thank you come again. As the man grab his bag he took one more look at the girl and whink. “O gosh no” She said making a face. It was 9 and they were close. Her and her night crew were done cleaning the store. So they all clock out and left. The girl was trying to call her mother to get a ride, but her phone call ended because her battery had died. So she began to walk home. It wasn’t really a long walk because the girl lives down the street from where she works. As she was walking she noticed something was following her. Something big because she could see the shadow. As she began to walk faster, the shadow got closer and closer. “Hi how you doing remember me”.
