Forbidden from the start

chapter 46

One hour before .

I hop off the vehicle and fix my dress . Aaron beside me turns the machine off and gets off the bike .

" No what " I ask feeling a thrilling feeling in my stomach

" I'm gonna take your hand ," he says cupping my hand with his " and we're gonna go inside to meet the other guys "

I turn around seeing a unlighted scenery, abandoned buildings and some houses quiet far away .

" if this house is over there why are we stopping here " i ask glancing around

" The party is here " he states and I turn to look at him " there " he points to a nearly collapsed building

I laugh at him thinking that he's joking but when he doesn't laugh back ,I stop .

" You're serious " i blunt

" Come on " he starts walking to that direction

My brain tells me to go the other way , to stop , but my body doesn't listen . I feel chills run through my spine and an anxious feeling that doesn't let me relax until someone explains what are we doing here , in this place where there's not even enough lights to see clearly or any soul in a mile or so .

" Aaron " I stop making him turn around " this place is terrifying, tell me there's nothing sketchy about this situation "

He smiles at me making me worry more . Why is he smiling?

" It's downstairs " he says " come on you'll like it " he continues walking us up the stairs till we reach the sealed closed door that seems that's already broken in

He grabs the handle and twists it , pushing the door on the inside so it reveals a dark room .

" Yep , nothing sketchy " I mumble to myself sarcastically

We go inside and I glance around understanding from used tubes of physiological saline and the old rusty wheelchairs , that this place was a hospital or a psychiatric facility.

Aaron leads the way and he seems to be very familiar with this place, since he doesn't need any flashlight to guide us .The only light here it's coming from the moon since there are too many windows here , that most of them are shield with wooden surfaces but it peaks just enough light for me to see that we actually going downstairs. We step on a staircase and it makes some weird cranky noses like it's old and wooden . I grab his hand tightly and he seems to not notice as his hand hold mine like a chore .

There's a minute full of darkness and silence till I finally hear some voice from by far . With the final step I take and before I'm on the ground rather than the stair , I see a big room full of people. Smoke covers the place and low music tricks the mind of believing that this , actually is not such a terrifying scene .

It looks like a normal party . Couches here and there , beer tables with enough booze for an entire army to get drunk and people swinging their bodies to that slow rhythm . But the main difference is that there are many guys . I see many guys and a few girls .

" Hey bro " I see a boy I've seen before but I can't remember his name , do a handshake with Aaron

" What's up dude " he nods his head at him " what did I miss "

The boy eyes me up and down and turns to Aaron with an approving look on his face .

" You didn't miss nothing " he says as he looks up in my eyes " we did , apparently " and with that he taps Aaron's shoulder, giving him a playful wink before leaving

" What was that all about " I ask letting go of his hand

He turns to me and his cocky smile disappears .
