"Sameer I'm warning you for the last time. Leave my hand and let me go." I gritted my teeth at him."Oh, you don't have a problem with Jason or Ryan touching you and hugging you. Why are you acting like a naive innocent girl? I think you already lost your virginity and slept with a few. It's common in your culture. It won't do any harm to you if allow me too." He tried to hug me tight at this point and I slapped his face hard with my other hand, so hard that it stung my hand."Bitch" he shouted at me, he grabbed my hair in his hand, tugging them and moving my head backward. He leaned down to kiss my neck. I felt hot tears running down my cheeks. I felt so helpless.I used all my strength and pushed him hard and ran towards the door but he is faster than me, he slapped me right on my cheek and pushed me back to the bed, the push had such an impact that my head bumped into the wall. The blood gushing from my forehead is the least of my worry now. He r

Jason's POVI looked at the fragile girl who lied unconscious next to me in the car with her head on my shoulder. She was clutching my tee tight in her hands as her life depended on it. Tears dried out on her cheeks.But, still, her body jerked in sleep now and then. My hold tightening around her every time she trembled in sleep.The ride back was awfully quiet, everyone lost in their miseries. I'm just trying to keep my anger in check so I won't lash out at Dia or break Ryan's bones. Harsh stopped the car by the gate. I lifted her in my arms not wanting to wake her up."I will go and wake my mom and grandparents." Said Dia walking inside."Dia stop. Let's not disturb them now. It's midnight. We will tell them in the morning." Truthfully, I don't want them to disturb Amy. She just went to sleep and she may start crying again after waking up.Dia nodded at

The way Aunt Seema stroked my hair made me miss mama so much. Whenever I'm feeling low or upset mama used to place my head on her lap and stroke my hair. That small act used to make me feel so better and all my worries used to vanish. Oh, how I wish all of this was a big nightmare and I wake up in mama's lap, Dad waiting for me with my favorite ice cream to cheer me up. I miss them so much. I feel so much anger towards them for leaving me out here alone.I'm starting to feel drowsy maybe because of the medicine. "I'm feeling sleepy. I don't want to keep you here." I said with a low voice and tried to get up from her lap. She has a lot of work in the kitchen."Okay go to sleep but, call me if you need anything." Saying she tucked me in my bed and placed a kiss on my forehead and left closing the door behind her slowly.I smiled at the warmth that she gave me. Soon I felt my eyelids heavy and slipped into a deep sleep. I woke up hearing s

Everyone is behaving like nothing ever happened. Kristina is busy chatting with grandma and Peter went on a walk with grandpa. Aunt Seema is busy preparing some delicious snacks for us while Uncle Raj went to take a business call.I couldn't keep calm and finally gathered my courage to go ask someone if I have to give my statement to the police. I want to mentally prepare myself. Peter came back with grandpa from the walk. Peter sat on one of the vintage white chairs around the steel table with grandpa on the small lawn. Uncle Raj went to the lawn. Aunt Seema came with snacks from the kitchen. I offered to take the tray to the men outside.I saw Grandpa getting off the chair and offering the chair to Uncle Raj."Raj sit here and give company to Peter. I am a little tired from the walk. I would like to go inside and take some rest.""Grandpa, don't you want to have some snacks?" I asked seeing him leave.

Sophie being a straight-A student is fretting about her chances to get into an Ivy League College. She selected Chemistry for her major. Her love for organic chemistry shocks me to date. I applied to top colleges for interior design. I hope I get selected.Ryan and Leslie already got their acceptance letters from Caltech. Ryan chose Civil Engineering following Jason's footsteps, and Leslie chose English. Fate played cupid for the lovebirds getting them nothing to the same college.Ben wants to take a year off as he is still unsure what major to pick, which didn't go quite well with ambitious Sophie. They are still hanging somewhere between being friends and couples.With everyone getting their acceptance letters my anxiety just grew. Maybe it's not good to be too picky with the colleges while applying. Kristina and Ryan tried to cheer me up that I will get selected for sure and not lose hope. Sophie is in the worst positio
