THE TRUTH BEHIND MY EYES

MONSTER

Why is it so dark out here?
Hello, is anyone here?
“My daughter.”
I suddenly can see a woman sitting in front of me in a chair.
Her back is towards me.
She kept whispering “My Daughter.”
Is it mom?
“Mom.”
I ran up to her and touched her shoulder.
“Mom?”
Suddenly her whispers turned into a malicious laugh.
“Baa baa black sheep.”
I started to back away.
She is not my mom.
Then she turned towards me.
“ Baa baa black sheep.”
Then she jumped at me.
“Aaaaaaaaaa”
The bright lights of the room are hurting my eyes.
Where the fuck I am?
It's not my dorm room.
Why does my whole body feel like that they just got busted by a tank?
Suddenly I looked down at myself. What am I wearing?
It's not my clothes?
It's a jersey t-shirt.
I looked at the surroundings.
Fuck,why it's giving the ‘ I have entered the hell” vibe.
Curiosity mode on.
Suddenly the door of the room opened and a boy .. Holy Fuck.
Oh hi six packs.
Assantonio came in with nothing but a towel.
Water droplets are running on his chiselled abs.
His wet hair is falling on his eyes.
If he is not that much asshole then I will surely fuck him.
“Done with checking me out?”
“What? Why am I gonna check you out.”
“Oh,I must be mistaken but there is some drool.”
“Drool? Where?” I started to wipe my face furiously.
“Here.” he suddenly came up to me on the bed.
Fuck!! Not that close proximity.
He extends his hand and wipes something from my cheeks.
He is even more handsome from this close.
I can feel myself getting lost in his eyes.
His breath is so sweet that I am gonna drown in it.
I have to distract myself.
“Where is Trace?”
“She is in the other room sleeping.”
His hand is still on my cheek.
“Satsangi” he said so softly that I could practically hear my heartbeat in my own ear.
“Yes”
“You're looking like a clown.” Then he pulled himself away from me.
“Hey,what? I'm right, you are an asshole.” he merely Chuckled at me.
He went into another room which I think is the closet.
Suddenly he came out of there and threw something at me.
“I guess you need it.”
What the hell?
A bra.
Not anymore bra but mine.
That's when I noticed that my clothes plus underwear are scattered beside the bed.
Not only Mine but also his.
No no please don't tell me.
Not that.
“Did something happen between us yesterday?” My voice is barely over a whisper.
“You don't remember? the whole of Chicago may know what happened between us because of your screaming my name last night.” His face started to grace with his very famous cocky smirk.
What? I had sex with him.
No that can't be.
That's why my clothes have changed.
Suddenly the whole incident of yesterday started to cover my head.
How can he do that to me while I was injured?
That bastard!!
“Oh Fuck,you raped me!! Fuck I’m not a virgin anymore.. you stole my virginity. You bastard!!” I kept screaming at him.
How can he do that to me?
He winced at my voice.
“Gosh Knifey stop screaming,I didn't rape you. You are still a virgin. Wait, are you really a virgin?”
“My sex life is none of your business,you asshole.” I am still screaming.
Gosh,how pathetic I am looking now!!!
I can feel my cheeks are  starting to heat up.
“Do you even have one?” He is now taunting me.
Stupid bastard.
I decided to get out from that ridiculously soft bed
But not such luck,the stomach cramped up and feets Tangled up with the comforter.
Just as I thought I was gonna kiss the floor, suddenly two strong arms caught me.
“You are too clumsy for your own good.” he chuckled in my ear.
He helped me to stand up.
“The doctor left some medicine for you and the nurse had cleaned you and also there are some umm tampons in the bathroom and when Ben will come then we'll talk about the previous night.”
“Oh,so it's the nurse.”
When I reach the table for the medicine, suddenly I notice a photo frame is there.
A girl no,not any girl but a very beautiful one is in this pic.
I didn't know he has a gf.
Obviously he has.
“Is it your gf? She is very beautiful.”
I have to say I am feeling a little jealous.
He was startled by my question and grabbed the picture frame from my hand.
Geez, possessive much.
“ She is not my gf.”
“Huh, as you can fool me.”
“I told you she is not my gf,she is not here so end of the topic.” he stormed out of the room.
Again that cold bastard.
I got fresh in his bathroom and did my….. well girly things.
It's still a embarrassing thing that a nurse changed my tampons.
Still my mind is lingering on Greco’s gf’s pic.
Why was he so hesitant about her?
Had they broken up?
After getting dressed I went to the room where I thought Trace would be.
I knocked on the door.
“Come in.” I entered there to meet Trace sitting on the bed.
“Trace.” I ran up to her and hugged her.
“Are you okay?”
“I'm , but what happened to you?”
“Umm, it's a long story.”
“How about you guys finish your eating then we'll talk about everything.” Reuben told us while entering the room with Greco.
They both had food platters on their hands.
I didn't even realise I was that hungry.
I finished up everything very quickly and so did Trace.
“Okay,now about yesterday…..
Two hours later Trace had left me with Greco because she was going outside with Reuben.
I told her that I will return to campus but she insisted on me staying here.
Both of hackers are still unable to find that fucker who kidnapped Trace.
Also about that ghost or (mystery woman in the college who attacked me).
How in the world did she come from out of nowhere?
And suddenly vanished.
“Daydreaming again?”
“For your kind information, it's already evening assantonio.”
“Assan..what?”
“It's your new nickname.”
“I don't need one.”
“You know Greco,you are kind of rude.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
“It's not one.”
“Thanks for noticing.”
Gosh I can't even stand 2 minutes with him.
Yesterday he was so sweet and caring and now again.
I decided to keep my mouth shut and watch shinchan on the tv.
I was actually successful in ignoring him for another hour.
“Here,take it.” He said while giving me a glass of water and some pills.
“It's your medicine, you forgot to take it.”
“Oh, thanks.”
He sat down beside me on the sofa.
Silence.
Suddenly the sound of thunder made me jump out of my seat.
“It's raining.”
“I know.”
He got out of his seat to close the windows.
“Let me help.”
I think I should call Trace.
After 1 ring she answered the call.
“Trace, where are you? It's raining heavily outside.”
“I know, we are in the library. Don't worry about us, I am safe.”
“Okay,be safe and take care.”
“Yupp.”
Suddenly the lights went off.
Fuck, power outage.
Suddenly I notice that Antonio is not nearby.
“Greco? Greco, where are you?”
Where the fuck he is?
I have the flashlight on but still it's not enough.
Doesn't he have any generator?
I think I should go upstairs.
But my fucking luck,I tripped.
“Oomph.”
My stomach is aching.
I tried to stand up but failed.
I guess I hit my knees pretty bad.
My phone.
No, no not now.
1%charge.
The little bit of light is gone.
“Greco? Greco, please come here.” I kept screaming for him.
I didn't even notice that I started crying.
The crackling of thunders are making the situation worse.
Baa baa black sheep….
Not again.
Not that sound.
Angi control yourself.
Nothing is going to happen.
You are safe.
That ghost isn't here.
But the sound of the voices in my head  started to grow stronger.
Baa baa black sheep.
Baa baa black sheep.
Mamma,
Nooooooooo
Stop itttt
“Antonio” I screamed for him while grabbing my head.
“Knifey?”
He is suddenly in front of me.
Kneeling down.
“Hey, it's okay. I am here. I am sorry I didn't hear you before.”
He told me while removing my head from my hands.
He picked me up and sat me down on the couch.
“Are you okay?”
“That la lad y who  aa atta attacked me.” I mumbled.
“Hey, it's okay. She is not here. We will find her.”
He hugged me tightly to his chest while I tried to control my breathing.
We have been sitting there for some time.
I have to say I am feeling safe,with him being here with me.
Sometimes I really wish he can always be like that.
Gentle, sweet and soft.
Not some cold bastard.
“Are you okay now?” He murmurs in my hair.
I nodded.
“When will the lights come?”
“There is a massive storm happening outside and the generator is not turning on due to some reason so we have to make it through the candles.”
We sat in silence but suddenly my stomach growled out loud.
“Do you want to eat something? I can order it.”
“Do you think they will take any order in this situation?”
“I can try.”
And he tried 10 times but every order was cancelled.
He even called Ben.
They are still stuck there.
“How about I make something for both of us?”
“I don't want to die by eating your food.”
“Ha ha so funny.”
“It's not a joke”
Assantonio is back.
Welcome back.
“Look,I am hungry so I am making something for myself.”
“Go ahead.”
Why is he so grumpy?
Maybe that's why her gf broke up with him.
I started to find something easy to make.
I found some leftover rice.
I can make fried rice.
In ten minutes I finally made some for me and….. also for him.
“It smells good. Do you have some more for me?”
“No,I don't” I teased him while taking a bite from my own bowl.
A little teasing doesn't hurt that much.
Right?
I noticed he is still looking at me.
“What?” 
“Remove that fucking spoon from your mouth.”
He ordered me.
His whole posture is rigid.
What?
Fuck!! I am still licking my spoon.
Maybe it's disgusting to him.
Even in the dim lights of candles I can feel his stare on me as I slowly nibble on my food.
Maybe I should tell him that I also made some for him too.
“You know …
“Fuck that I’m hungry and you have enough food.” he said while cutting me off.
He grabbed the bowl from my hand and started to eat.
“Hey, that's mine.” I protested but that's no use to him.
I tried to take the bowl from him but that's no use as he is so bigger and taller than me.
He finished everything in 2 minutes.
“So what were you saying?” He asked me while putting the bowl on the coffee table.
“I’m saying that I also made some for you but you have finished mine.” I glare at him.
“Just go then and eat it.”
“I’m not hungry anymore. As you wish.”
“You know you are a grumpy uncle.”
“Hey I’m just 23 that doesn't mean I am an uncle.”
“23? That's too old. I’m just 17. Wait, if you are 23 then how can you be in your last semester in college?”
“Ben and I were homeschooled from the beginning. After some time we wanted to go to public school and enjoy ourselves so we dropped ourselves down to some classes. That's why we are old and last semester has not started yet.”
I nodded at him.
Now I understand.
Suddenly his phone started to ring.
He looked at the screen and his face turned hard.
“I will be back.”
He left the living room.
What should I do now?
Maybe I can explore.
So I started to explore.
The thunder has stopped but it is still raining.
There is nothing much in this living room to explore excluding this one room.
The door is open.
Should I go inside?
Or not.
What will happen even if I go inside?
I kept the phone’s  flashlights on as I went inside.
It's like in the movie.
A row of stairs to go into the room.
I think I should go back.
But my Fucking curiosity is consuming me.
I stepped down the stairs and finally reached the room.
I moved the flashlight to see Clear.
But I hadn't expected to see that,
Anger,hurt, and betrayal are suffocating me.
WHAT THE FUCK is that?
.
.
.
.
Or, most importantly, what does he want from her?
