The tendency to forbidden stuff is a natural habit of human beings, especially teenagers. We try to avoid them but sometimes curiosity grows inside us. Our mind tells us why not to just try it for once. But our brain says it's forbidden. Don't think about it. And at the end of the day, we choose our mind, our impetuosity. Most of the time we make huge mistakes by listening to our minds and we regret it later.
I was one of those kinds of eighteen-year-old curious teenagers. It's not like I had a huge propensity for forbidden stuff, I just wanted to have fun with my friends and I wanted to be free for a while. But right now I was feeling like I had made a mistake in going to that club. It felt like his dangerous ocean-blue eyes were still on me and watching me from everywhere. I couldn't help but think about him all the time. I was lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling. It was 7:30 in the morning. Last night I arrived home at 9 pm after a quick dinner in a restaurant. My parents and granny didn't suspect me because Reema's toothpaste and toothbrush worked. I barely could sleep at night because whenever I closed my eyes I only saw him, his hypnotizing blue eyes and his dangerous smirk. I got up lazily and headed to the bathroom. After freshening up, I threw myself into a loose navy blue shirt and black jeans. I brushed my long hair, braided it, and put some lipgloss on my pink lips. I went downstairs and saw Mom was making breakfast, Dad was reading the newspaper, and Ellerie and Granny were nowhere to be seen. "You're awake so early today." Dad fake-widened his eyes. "Yeah. Early rising is a good habit." I smiled tightly. "Oh really? At least, give some credit to your granny." Mom chuckled. "Mom.. " I groaned. I ate my breakfast silently and then Dad drove me to school. My mood was kinda off today because of last night. I tried to shake off all the thoughts from my head but for some reason, I couldn't. "God, I hate physics. Was it very important to invent this subject?" Reema huffed. "Yeah, of course, it was important. Otherwise, the modern world was impossible." I rolled my eyes. "Ms Morales and Ms Rauf, you two are irritating the whole class. If you can't concentrate then you can get out of my class." Our physics teacher Mr. Kibria threw daggers on us. "We're sorry. It won't happen again." We said together. "I hope so. If it happens again then I'll complain to the principal and your parents. Understand?" We quickly nodded. Delilah, Amrin, and Sima looked at us and gave us a sly smile. I knew those bitches told him that we were whispering. I swear I could grab their hair and slap continuously across those caked faces! "Bitches!" Reema hissed under breath. After the horrible physics class, we came to the cafeteria as it was our launch break. We took the same bench yesterday and started eating burgers. "Why are all the problems chasing after us nowadays?" Reema sighed. "Don't know. We couldn't have fun for those bitches." Marjan said angrily. "I told you many students of our school go there. But you didn't listen to me. Now look we're fucked up." Reema crossed her arms. Here we go again. Their argument started so I laid my head on the table and closed my eyes. "What?! You're blaming me now?! You're the one who wanted to go first! And we're not sure that they saw us!" Marjan fired back. "Shut up. You told us how much fun it was in a club so I just wanted to explore." "So it was all my fault now, huh?! Ridiculous!" "Yes, it's your fucking fault. And that's why I wanna kill you right now." "Natalia! Say something! She's blaming me!" "What will she say? She's on my side." "Of course not. Natalia! Are you sleeping?" "I'll dip you in a pond and I know you don't know how to dive." Reema grinned. "You fucking bitch. I'll tell your mom that you stole a hairband from a store last month." "What?! No! I didn't! You did!" "Will you two stop?" I raised my head and scoffed. "Talia, what happened to you? You're acting weird today." Marjan knitted her eyebrows. "What? No, I'm fine. I was enjoying your awesome debating skills. Right now I'm feeling like I'm in a debating club. Why don't you two join the debating club?" I laughed. I didn't want to tell my best friends about last night. I thought it was normal, he just looked at me but didn't touch me or didn't throw any vulgar comments. Though it was quite weird and scary, I just wanted to forget about it. "You bitch I'll tell your granny that you stole five bucks from her bag which was under the mattress." Marjan started. "Yes. And I'll tell Mehmet that you were the one who shattered his favorite toy last month." Reema uttered. "Whoa! That's not what it seems like! You won't tell them anything. You promised me!" My mouth was hung open. "Natalia." A voice interrupted us. We looked in the direction and our mouths almost fell to the floor. Fardinn was standing there. His hands were in his black jeans pocket, plain white shirt, and his brown hair was messy. "Umm.., were you calling me?" I asked awkwardly. "Well, I don't think there's another Natalia in this whole school." He shrugged. "What's the matter?" I frowned. "I've something to tell you. Meet me in the backyard after school. And of course, you are alone. Marjan and Reema are not invited." With that, he turned around and started walking. "What the he―" He walked away from the cafeteria before Reema could finish. We were just blankly watching him vanish outside. "What was that?" Reema scoffed. "I have no idea." I shrugged. "Girls what if he saw us last night!" Marjan gasped. "No way! Then he's gonna take revenge on us." I gasped too.I walked on the path beside the football field. A few boys were loitering beside the field. I turned to my left and walked to the backyard. Nobody was there and for some reason, I was feeling scared. I looked forward to the dense trees but Fardinn was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly a hand landed on my shoulder. I jumped forward and let out a loud gasp. I quickly turned around and saw Fardinn chuckling and shaking his head. I huffed as a relief washed over me. "I knew you would come." He laughed softly. "Was it very important to scare me, huh?" I raised an eyebrow while trying to decrease my heartbeat. "I didn't plan to scare you. It just happened." He grinned. "Come to the point. What do you wanna talk about?" He reached into his back pocket pulled out his iPhone and started taping something. He turned the screen to me. I looked at the screen and saw it was the pictures of Marjan, Reema, and mine. My eyes popped out of their socket as I realized it had taken when we were
"Good morning, Mom and Dad." I sat at the table and smiled at my parents. "Morning, princess." Dad smiled. "Where's granny and Ellerie?" "They're out for a walk." Mom said. "I'll be back home early today. Our classes will end at midnight because of an interschool football tournament." I chewed my sandwich. "That's good. Your granny has an appointment with the doctor today so I'm going with her and we can't take Ell with us. So try to come back early, honey." "Ellerie can stay with Dad for a while in his store. I'll take him with me on my way back home. I was planning to watch the game with my friends." "Sorry, princess. I was also thinking about that but I've got to go outside of the town for some important business." Dad gave me a sad look. "Oh,,, it's ok. Don't worry. Then I'll come back within 12." I smiled. "We're sorry honey. You've to miss the moment with your friends for us. But next time you won't miss it I promise" Mom said with sorrow. "It's ok, mom." I kissed
After ten minutes of running like a dog, I looked behind but saw nothing, no men, no cars. I hungrily gulped the air as my throat became dry and my lungs became airless. I sighed heavily but then I realized I was actually running in the opposite direction of my house this entire time. My phone had died and every fucking shop was closed because it was lunchtime. I neither could walk to my house nor could stand there any longer as they could appear at any moment. I placed Ellerie on the footpath and looked around for someone to get help. I looked around and found an alley beside the street. I decided to walk into the alley and ask for someone's help. "Talia, I'm so afraid of those men. They are more awful than those cockroaches." Ellerie started crying. "It's ok baby. I'm here with you. Nobody's gonna come here. Don't cry, okay?" I smiled at him. I kissed his cheeks and hugged him tightly. I was about to lead us into the alley right when a cab came toward us. A long sigh of reli
".... she just fainted when I pressed the gun on her skull. What can I do about that?""Shut up, Victor! Wake her up quickly!"I heard two men blabbering beside me. I thought I was still in my stupid dreams."What the hell, Ellerie! Again you splashed water on me! I swear I'll send your remote-controlled car to those awful cockroaches this time!" I shouted and rubbed my eyes. But I heard two men laugh instead of Ellerie. I abruptly opened my eyes and came back to reality. I gasped as I saw those two men standing in front of me and smirking at me. I looked around and realized I was still in the cab and Ellerie was sleeping beside me."Look, who's awake." Black Shirt chuckled. "You thought you could fool us, whore?" White shit growled. He harshly grabbed me by my arm and pulled me out of the car. I hissed in pain and struggled to get out of his hold."Fuck you asshole!" I hissed and punched on his chest."Don't you dare, puttana." He grabbed my wrists with the other hand."Leave her
He pressed his body on mine, his hands fell on my waist, and grabbed it so tightly that I could tell it would leave a mark. "You know you looked more sexy in that pink nightgown." He gave me a sinister smirk. Then it hit me.It was him. He was in my room that night and touched my intimate parts when I was sleeping. "It was you? H-how? Oh my god! Why? Why were you in my room?" Tears started threatening in my eyes. What if he had done more bad things to me? I even couldn't clearly remember everything. I thought it was a meaningless stupid dream. "Shh.. Be ready at 10 tonight. I'll pick you up." He said in a husky tone."What?" I was confused. "I don't like to repeat, baby girl. Be. Ready. At. 10. Tonight." His dangerous voice echoed throughout the large room. "Wait. What do you mean by that? Why should I be ready at 10?" I frowned."I'll take you with me― for ever." He smirked and trailed his hand down my cleavage."What?! Are you insane?! I'm not going anywhere with you! Who are
One hour later, the doorbell rang which made me flinch in fear. I slowly walked to the door and heard Mom's voice. I sighed in relief and opened the door."Mom, where is granny?" I asked when my mother entered alone."Her sugar level is very low. And she's not in a good condition so the doctor had suggested to admit her in the hospital tonight.""But she looked fine. How did it happen?" I gasped."She hid her problems from us so that we don't worry about her." Mom sighed."Don't worry. She can come back home one day later. She just needs the medications. She will be fine." Mom smiled sadly."Yes, everything will be fine." I nodded.I was shocked and sad to hear that. I loved her so much though we used to engage in a lot of arguments every day. That was fun actually."Natalia, why are you wearing a scarf?" Mom suddenly asked."It's nothing, mom." I smiled awkwardly."I'm taking Ellerie with me after dinner. You have to stay home alone, honey."I looked at Mom in horror. He was coming t
Two days later... We never know what is waiting for us tomorrow. Life is full of surprises. If we had a miraculous power to know if something cruel is gonna happen the next day, we would become cautious and our life would be very easy. If I had known this dangerous mysterious man was going to come into my life as a nightmare, I would've never gone to that frigging club. Fardinn agreed to help us two days ago. He had sent some of his criminal friends to watch my home that night. But nobody seemed to show up, no cars, no men. Everything was clear. So Fardinn was thinking it was some random idiot messing around. Fardinn promised me that he wouldn't involve his father or cops in this matter when I had requested him not to. In those two days, I had been acting like a predator's prey. Every time I jumped up when my doorbell rang or my mobile phone buzzed. It felt like he was coming, he was standing in front of my door and ready to take me away with him. I barely got out of my room. I
"Are you deaf?" He boomed when I wasn't doing as he said, and that made me gasp and flinch. I shakily grabbed a spoon and shakily filled a plate."Stop shaking or you'll ruin my shirt." He chuckled dryly."Fish curry. I like it. Especially I like spicy foods." He grabbed a fork and started eating. "How dare you?! Who even are you?! You suddenly broke into my house and then sat on my dining table without my permission, how dare you?! Did your parents teach you to act this way? You―"Mom stopped when the ridiculously handsome stranger abruptly grabbed the gun and pointed it at me, making me gasp loudly. "I already hate your family, Natalia. They're making me repeat which I hate most. Anyways, do you know why I'm here?" He looked at me then my mother."Why?" Mom asked shakily."Your daughter caught my eyes. I saw her in my club one week ago. Fuck, I couldn't take off my fucking eyes when I laid them on her." He said in a cold voice."You know I see you everywhere, Natalia. I fucking c
