"CUT "

" What’s gotten into me? Now I really can’t understand "  
that's all Selin could think about while
adding space between them .

Demir felt something strange , he can't be in love with her , come on they only knew each other for three days , maybe she attracts him physically? but it was more than a physical attraction , he was completely drugged .

" Demir ? " Selin's voice softened as she spoke.
" It was scripted . " His tone made it clear it was anything but what they both were thinking.

📍 Wednesday ; 01:00 AM

Finally , the lustrous light faded to become translucent , blurry and obscuring. It was such a long day , Selin greeted the crew and headed to Demir's dressing room to find herself in front of a shirtless and perfectly shaped body, what a magnificent view . Selin's face became the color of a spring rose, the warm blooming colour against her glossy skin.
Demir was amused by her reaction , she was always stoic , expressionless and mostly, annoyingly self assured. So when he saw that shade of red  in her cheeks , Demir boldly approached her , fighting back the smile that wants to break out. 

" We don't knock the door anymore , Selin hanim ? "

Selin gazed at him , she tried to hide whatever she was feeling with a bold smirk
" Kusura bakma demir bey , I just wanted to say goodnight , goodnight "

" I can take you home , you didn't bring your car "

Selin loved how caring he was despite the fact that their first impressions about each other were kinda overbearing.

" The taxi is waiting for me outside , see you in the morning "

" in few hours "

Selin shook her head and closed the door giving away tiny smiles until she got a disturbing text

From Burak : I'm waiting outside, we need to talk .

Wednesday, 11:11 AM

The fear thoughts looped around in Merve's mind until there was no room for anything else , she tried to call Ayda but received no answer , there was no one else to call but the last person who was with Selin ... Demir .

" Demir , I'm sorry if I'm bothering  but I wanted to ask you about Selin , when was the last time you saw her ?"

" We finished work after midnight , she's probably sleeping. " Demir could tell that there's something wrong by the tone of Merve's trembling voice " What's wrong?"

" Nothing... nothing is wrong but if you reach her , please let me know ."

📍Ferruh's Office; 20:25 PM

In front of the panoramic view, Demir was sitting in his usual place , drinking his coffee , waiting for Selin who's already late .

" Demir bey , this is going to be an individual lesson , Selin hanim sent me a text last night and said she isn't coming today "

•••
"Опасность " means danger
"слезы " means tears
"страх " means fear

"ты мне нужен " and it means I need you .

" Thank you Demir bey , that's all for today "
...

The silence caressed her skin like an unwanted memory , swaying her soul, taking away her peace. It had been one hell of a rough day and now the darkness followed with a terrifying scream of sorrow.

Text message from Demir : Open the door, I'm outside   .

Selin looked out of the window , Demir is really inside his car, waiting for her to open the door .

" What are you doing here? "

" Since you're driving your friends insane, I wanted to see what was the reason . " Demir took off his wet coat " If you want to be alone you should've at least tell them that you are okay . "

" Buyrun , I will bring you a towel "
" And a blanket "
" Are you staying here ?"
" Yes "
"Weird .. "
Selin headed upstairs and Demir found the chance to text Merve " I found Selin , we're in the cabin "

📍 Ayda's House

"I got a text from Demir , he said they are in the cabin.  " a fear alert was painted on Merve's face .

Ayda looked in the space unfocused, they shared a moment of inner panic , something is off with Selin especially that Burak is back.

" Merve , Selin was alone in the cabin " Ayda held her chest " I can't even imagine how she passed the night, my heart hurts " those were the girls last words before the silence creeped into their place .

📍 The Cabin.

" Were you worried? " Selin said with
quiet intensity, making eye contact with him .

" At first , no " Demir spoke in whispers
" But when Merve told me that it's impossible for you to come here alone , yet I found you here alone , it's when I felt apprehensive. "

" Why ? " with brittleness in her voice " I mean why are you here ? You didn't have to "

" When was the last time you slept? "

" Huh?  "

" You're shaking, you didn't sleep last night did you ? " Demir took the cup from her hand .

" Well , you're trying to change the topic but okay , I'm going to sleep ... goodnight "

" goodnight "

Before she heads upstairs , Selin turned around and spoke with a gentle voice full of unexplainable emotions

" Demir , Thank you "

...

Two hours passed and before he goes to sleep, Demir decided to check on Selin.
As he reached her room , Demir heard Selin whining 

" It's all my fault ; I'm sorry ; it's all my fault , please don't leave me alone - sobs- take me with you , I'm scared , Don't leave.... Don't "

The sight of Selin's condition made Demir completely devastated, he approached her more and put his hand on her head - She was pale , cheeks burning , trembling and crying in her sleep and suddenly  , she screamed " I want to wake up "  It was the kind of scream that make your blood run cold , wild panic , hysteria and disbelief ; she opened her eyes , slowly,  trying to find anything familiar to reassure her that everything was a nightmare but she couldn't move when she found herself caressing Demir's hand, she was vulnerable .
Demir pulled her closer to him wrapping his arms around her waist , His embrace was warm, the world around her melted away as she squeezed him back , he rubbed her back , softly " It wasn't your fault, look at me, I'm here, no one can hurt you now. "

" I'm tired " Selin raised her head to look at him " I feel like .. like I can't breathe "

Demir pulled her closer as if it's possible " Hear my heartbeat? just focus on that and don't listen to anything else "

" Don't leave. "

" Shuush , it's okay now , I'm not going anywhere, I'm here "
