Chapter: THE MORNING AFTERA loud ringing sound pierced through my sleep.I stirred uncomfortably, my head pounding as though someone had been hitting it with a hammer all night. Another sound followed—a knock, or at least something that sounded like one.My eyes snapped open.For a few seconds, I didn't move.Bright sunlight filtered through the curtains, flooding the unfamiliar room with warmth. I blinked repeatedly, trying to adjust my blurry vision.My head ached terribly.I slowly lifted my head from the pillow and winced in pain as dizziness washed over me."What the hell?" I murmured.My phone was ringing.I turned toward the sound and saw it lying on a table beside the bed. But before I could reach for it, something else caught my attention.The room.I froze.This wasn't my room.I sat upright immediately, looking around in confusion. The walls were unfamiliar. The furniture was expensive and elegant, and everything around me looked nothing like the small, comfortable room I was used to.My heart began

Chapter: YES!!!!“Come here, baby girl,” the stranger whispered as he grabbed me by the waist.His grip was firm, pulling me closer until there was barely any space between us. My heart was already racing, and I wasn’t sure if it was because of the alcohol, the loud music still echoing in my ears, or the intense look in his eyes.“Wait… wait,” I said, trying to shove him away.But my movements were weak and unsteady. He was stronger than me, and when his hand moved down to my thigh, I looked up at him.Everything was written all over his face.“You started this, baby girl,” he said in a low, seductive tone. “Let’s finish it together.”I stared at him.His blue eyes held mine, dark with an emotion I couldn’t fully understand. He looked so attractive that my thoughts became even more confused. Before I could stop myself, my fingers moved across his shirtless chest.His body was firm beneath my touch.Am I supposed to be doing this?The question suddenly crossed my mind.No.I wasn’t supposed to be doing

Chapter: NO FEARSI held his hand tightly, not wanting to let go.“Don't leave me, please.”My voice trembled as the words escaped my lips.“I'm scared.”For a moment, everything around us became quiet. The music from the club still echoed faintly in the distance, mixed with the laughter and voices of strangers, but none of it seemed real anymore.He turned and looked down at me.His expression softened.“Scared of what?” he asked quietly.I stared at him.The question sounded simple, but I didn't know how to answer it.I let out a bitter laugh.“Everything.”He frowned slightly.“I mean... even the earth is a scary place.” I mutteredMy grip around his hand tightened as tears filled my eyes.“I lost my job. I fought with my mom... and my boyfriend.”My voice cracked.Everything I had been trying to hold inside suddenly came rushing out.“He makes me feel like a child,” I continued. “Like I'm not good enough for him. Like everything I do is wrong.”I wiped my cheeks, but the tears wouldn't stop coming.

Chapter: LOST IN THE NIGHTWe had just gotten to our location when loud music and a crowd welcomed us.The moment I stepped out of the car, my nerves kicked in.The way I was feeling and my current location didn't rhyme at all.I was nervous.I was worried.And somewhere deep inside me, I was afraid I might do something crazy.But strangely, the urge to do it was stronger than the fear.I needed to clear my head.The place was beautiful.The lighting was perfect, casting a warm glow over the entire room. People were dancing, drinking, laughing, and enjoying themselves without anyone questioning what they were doing.For a moment, I just stood at the entrance and watched.Freedom.That was the only word that came to my mind.Everyone looked free.Nobody cared about anyone else's problems.Nobody cared about their past.Nobody cared about their mistakes.And for the first time in what felt like forever, I wanted to feel that way too.I wanted to forget everything.I wanted to forget my mother.My job.My problems

Chapter: COMFORT BEFORE STORMI came out onto the road, and it felt like the weight of the earth had settled on my shoulders.Why was everyone treating me like this? Was I not human too? Didn't I have emotions too? Didn't I get tired? Didn't I deserve to be understood?I couldn't figure out what I had done to deserve so much pain in one day.I quickly wiped my eyes as I stopped a taxi and hopped in, giving the driver Lisa's address.As the taxi pulled away, I rolled down the window and looked outside. The cool air brushed against my face, and for the first time since leaving home, I felt like I could breathe.A few moments ago, I had felt like I was suffocating.Now, I felt a little better.“Hello, ma. You've reached your destination,” the driver said, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Oh, I'm so sorry, sir.”I opened the taxi door, stepped out, and paid him.“Thank you, ma,” he said before zooming away.I stood there for a while, staring at the building in front of me.Across the road, there was a large mirror outs

Chapter: NO SAFE PLACEI was no longer scared.There were no harsher words my mother could have said to me than the ones she had already thrown at me that morning.I walked out of the gate, slammed it behind me, and stopped the first taxi I saw.Once I was inside, I finally let out the breath I had been holding.As the taxi pulled away, I thought about where I could go.I brought out my phone and tried calling someone.No answer.I called again.Still nothing.I already knew Lisa wouldn't be at home. It was Monday, so she was probably at work.I had nowhere else to go.My boyfriend's house was my last option.I stared out of the window for a moment before giving the driver Stanley's address.When I finally reached my destination, I paid the driver and walked straight toward Stanley's house.I knocked.Knock. Knock.A few seconds later, the door opened.“Babe! I missed you!”Stanley tried to pull me into a hug, but I immediately shoved him away.I wasn't in the mood.Without saying anything else, I walked in
