3 blocks

It’s a gloomy,dreary,rainy day and i’m walking home from my friend Mary’s house.although it’s only three blocks, I couldn’t help but think about the possibility that i may not get home safe.I never think like this.A voice in my head says ” Run!”. I look around frantically.My heart is beating at what feels like a million beats per second.I’m picking up the pace now.I’m trying to calm my self down and tell myself that there is noone there, i know there isn’t, i only looked around like a million times.I can’t seem to get through to my brain that obviously thinks i’m in some sort of danger..but what? My heart is beating faster and louder, i’m breathing heavily and i’m looking around even faster now. I try to stop myself but i’ve lost control.”Jaime, what’s wrong?” At this point,i can’t control my reflexes, and i quickly slap the person whom i discover later is my friend mary, trying to catch up with me to give me my cell phone that i forgot at her house.” I’m sorry, it’s just that..I don’t know i felt something
