Ruined Nights

Maya slowly went through the crowd, on her way she noticed some girls were crying and some were puking. Most of the boys in the party had their hands on their heads like they've just been arrested. She was getting nearer to the scene but her legs couldn't move further, she was scared.

She didn't dare to ask what happened either, she wasn't prepared for what she may hear.

Maya suddenly froze when she saw Sam crying over a boy soaked with blood that exactly looked like him, she realized that he was his twin brother he told her about earlier.

The police staff and an ambulance arrived simultaneously, making the atmosphere more suffocating.

The nurses helped Sam's twin brother into the ambulance and Sam was being asked a few questions by the police.

Most officers were now questioning attendants of the party, it suddenly rang a bell in Maya's mind: they were about to call everyone's parents to inform them about the situation. If her father finds out she was at a party she wasn't allowed to go to......she didn't even have the courage to calculate the consequences.

She slowly walked to the exit without being spotted. When she was out of the formerly party and now the crime scene, she ran as fast as her legs allowed her to.

Her view was blurring since her eyes were shading tears. She felt sorry for Sam, she wished to stand by his side at this point but saving herself was her priority.

"He had a twin!" she yelled at him, after such a long time in this job they were on the edge of being in danger. "And you shot the wrong one!"

"How was I supposed to know that? Ask their names and shoot?!" he spat back.

"You should have read the research paper I gave you, you could have saved us some trouble!"

"Don't act as if I did it on purpose, it was just a mistake."

"We'll see if Mr Kemal accepts it as an honest mistake, but I'm certain he won't." She left the room quietly.

He wasn't a coward man, but he didn't have the courage to face Mr Kemal, he is not fierce enough. He gulped all of the whiskey in his glass, his throat was burning as he did so.

Everything was about to fall apart, he felt it coming, yet he wasn't prepared, the thought scared him like a deadly nightmare.

Maya got the dress off herself, feeling disgusted by the bad luck it brought along. She took a long bath hoping it would bring her back to her senses, but it failed, she was completely numb.

She wore a comfortable set of pajamas and went to her bed, her eyes didn't stop watering ever since she left the party.

She curled up on her bed feeling selfish, ' I didn't even tell him I was sorry, I just made sure I was safe.' she thought as more tears flee from her eyes.

And on that awful night, when everything was messed up, Maya Michael was crying on her bed wishing she hadn't done what she did, regretting everything that happened in less than two hours.
