HE'S MINE

048

I saw his car disappearing right before my eyes and I failed to persuade him that it was not fair what he was doing to me. The cold breeze gave my skin chills, tears sprung down my eyes and I sobbed on the side of the road, hugging myself.

"He didn't pay?" one of the guys from the other side of the road yelled, chuckling. I watched them through the corner of my eyes and they were staring at me, what were they thinking about me?

"You can still earn money tonight." the other one mumbled and they all got up. My heart began racing in my chest, I was hugging myself and shivering from the fear.

Should I go back? But it is a long way back to the cinema and I don't even know where this road leads to. Whit no exact plan in my mind, I started walking briskly in the direction Mikey has left to.

"We will pay don't worry." they were now crossing the road, almost rushing. There were more than six of them, and all of them sounded drunk, bad for me I knew that. From walking briskly to running, I don't know how quickly that happened, but I found myself sprinting madly in the middle of the road with these guys following me like crazy.

I stopped when they surrounded me from all the corners. I was breathing profusely, shaking badly, and crying my eyes out.

"I'm not t--hat t--types of a girl." I stuttered through sobs, quickly veering from one side to the other to make sure none of them was coming closer.

"That's what everyone says." One guy smirked and all the others laughed.

"But -- I -- am -- no--t." I cried and hugged myself tightly. They were laughing at my cries, this was a game for them.

"She looks so fragile." The guy from the back wrapped his arms around my waist, totally catching me off guard, and stated in my ear. I veered around, hitting him with my elbow, but I missed it obviously, at least I was able to push him away. My heart was beating loudly, they had started to come closer, and to make things worse, they were now trying to touch me or grab me. All my fears of losing my virginity to the wrong person rushed back at me. This was unfair, just because I was alone off the road doesn't mean I was anybody's property. It was getting difficult to save myself but I wasn't quitting when suddenly a car honked at us.

"Run!" they all chanted and scattered away in haste. The guy from the car was none other than Mikey himself, he came back. Mixed emotions were covering my skin along with goosebumps.

"You guys are done," Mikey yelled as he chased them for a little while and then rushed back in my direction. I was wondering what he might be expecting from me, to hug him? to thank him for saving my life that he jeopardized in the first place?

"You okay?" he uttered, maintaining a distance as he might have seen the anger on my face by now.

"Did you want me to be okay?" I yelled loudly, he had never heard me raise my tone and that shocked him. I wish I had respected myself before, I was crawling so much in his feet that I have become just dust for him.

"I came back, even when you did me so wrong, hurt me, made me feel like a crap I still came back, and instead of thanking me for forgiving you, you are giving me this attitude?" he stated that whole paragraph with such shameless face that it was the first time that I wanted to shout at his face that he was sick, crazy person. I have never urged to hit someone, but at that moment, I wanted to smack his face.

"Oh really?" I gritted my teeth, faking a smile, "you left me here with these guys who would have done anything to mean--" I hadn't even finished yet when he intervened.

" I came on time, what were they supposed to do in five minutes?" he shrugged his shoulders and deepened his stare in my eyes.

"Kidnap me, it only takes one minute to ruin someone's life, Mister Sano Manjiro." I never thought I will be yelling at him, I'll be arguing with him like that. I remember whenever Yuzuha used to object, I would say to myself that if he was my boyfriend, I would never do that to him.
