You Are My Idol

Chapter IV

I needed to text Harper, she needed to know about this.

"Harper! Justin just text me, for us to meet Saturday afternoon. What the hell?"

After some time, I was already at home, she called me.

-Hello. Harper did you see my text?

-Hi. Yes, I saw it. I know he told me. - she said with such a calm that it was getting on my nerves.

-So, you are going too? – I tried not to sound mad or anything, but I actually was.

-No. you need to go alone please that way you can meet each other better.

I didn't speak for a minute. She couldn't be serious, why would I go out with her supposed boyfriend alone? Was she crazy? What got into her? I didn't want to go, this would end really bad.

-Hey Layla? You there?

-Yes... yes, I am. I'm not going this is a bad idea plus my parents will never allow me and it's not like you are there for me to say that is a project. – I was mad, afraid, nervous and God knows what else. I was already trembling.

-Oh common! If you say to your parents that you're coming with me again they will let and will not wait to see me because last time everything went well.

As soon as she finished saying that I heard a voice behind me.

-With whom are you talking to? – It was my mom.

-It's Harper, she is asking me if I can go to the shopping center with her on Saturday afternoon... - I said in fear.

-Harper... the girl from last week?

-Yes, it's her.

-Then you can go. – I was shocked hearing my mom saying that without questioning anything.

-Thanks mom. Harper I can go after all, I meet you there.

-Good I am going to tell him then. Bye.

Damn it! I don't want to go, why did I say yes? Oh, my mom appeared, and I couldn't expect that she was going to say yes. Harper tomorrow we are going to have a little chat.

Next day, I arrived at school and guess what? Harper was late again. This time I didn't wait for her, I just went to class. She arrived and smiled at me. I was so mad at her, she was digging her own grave. This would end bad.

In the break, I grabbed her arm and took her to where no one could hear us.

-Are you crazy Harper? Why do I have to meet him isn't he your supposed boyfriend?

-Layla please! I trust both of you, I know you won't do anything that can hurt me, and I know we won't either. – she continued calm as ever.

-I won't but how can you be so sure about him? You only know him for days. - I was seriously mad and her indifferent face was the worst.

-Exactly! I know him, so don't worry. Common let's go to class.

We went to class, the time didn't pass by. My head was on the next Saturday afternoon. I seriously couldn't figure it out what the hell I was going to do. I had to finish this as soon as possible, for me and for her.

The rest of the week went by as usual, without noticing it was already Saturday morning. I put on my jeans, a sweat and a pair of my all-stars. After lunch my aunt left me in the shopping center, Justin was nowhere to be seen. Suddenly, I received a text message:

"Meet me in the underground parking lot"

I went down and there he was in his black Mercedes, I thought to myself that he must be a spoiled daddy's boy.

-Hi Layla! Come in, I'll take you to a place to make sure your parents and no one you know sees us.

-Hi! It's okay we can stay here, they normally don't come here. – I was trying so hard not to sound nervous.

-I think it's better not risk it. I won't do anything to you. I promise I just want to talk. – he said and gave me a innocent smile.

-Okay... - I got in the car and he start driving.

We were silent for some time but then I broke the silent.

-So, Justin what do you want to talk about?

-As usual, you are so talkative and easy going... - did he just smirk at me? No. No, I'm imagining thins.

-You said you wanted to talk, so I'm talking what is the difficulty in that? – I asked trying to change the subject.

-None but Harper is quieter.

-She is arriving late to school these days, she told me she was with you, don't push her much she... I mean we are still young. – my voice tone changed to something really serious.

We arrived a place that looked like an abandon e park or some sort of garden, I don't really know what it was. It had trees, flowers and tall grass all over, but what scared me the most was the fact that we were completely alone. There was literally no one else there. I started panicking inside my head.

-Hey, are you okay? – he looked worried.

-I'm fine: - no I wasn't. – Why did you bring me here?

-As I said Harper is quieter and you are talkative, so if Harper is slower and doesn't let me do more things with her so maybe you are the contrary of her. – the way he talked start to scared me and then he put his hand on my leg.

I took his hand of me and said:

-Stop! I don't want anything to do with you or this shit. Take me back and I will tell harper about this.

-And what if I won't take you back...

His looks changed, like water to wine, he was no longer sweet and innocent. He was a monster, and I didn't know what was going to happen after.
