I was just standing there, I've never been so close to a guy before. But my body wasn't responding on what my mind was saying. Which was: 'haram haram haram stop haram haram'. My body did what it wanted, it was at the moment he leaned in forward that my body suddenly listened to my brain. I loosened myself from his grip and turned around. What was I thinking?

He grabbed my hand and pulled me back towards him.

"Brody, let me go." I screamed with tears in my eyes.

"And what if I don't want to?" he responded, still holding my hand.

He looked at me with his bright blue eyes.

"You're too late." I said while I broke eye contact.

"Wait what? Why?" he asked turning my face with his fingers so I was facing him.

"Zakaria is going to propose after I finish school this year." I saw in his eyes that he was hurt.

He let my hand go and went back inside. I didn't want to hurt him, but how could I let it get this far? The past few weeks were great with Zakaria. He was into me, you could see that. I didn't know if that was mutual yet. The feeling I have when I was with Brody was different than when I was with Zak.

On one of our dates, Zak asked me if I wanted to get engaged at the end of the year. I accepted the offer but I wasn't sure. Yeah, I'm bad at making decisions alright.

I was standing alone outside and decided to go back to school. I was still thinking about what just happened. Was Brody into me? It wouldn't work between us anyway. As I was walking towards the bus stop, I heard someone calling my name.

"SAFIAA", a familiar voice said.

I turned around and saw Zak standing in front of the hospital. Oh God, I hope he wasn't standing there for too long.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I'm picking up my blood results, remember?" I totally forgot.

"Oh okay." I responded.

"But what are you doing here?", he asked. What do I say now? Okay, think Safia think.

"Just visiting a friend." which actually wasn't a lie.

"But I need to get back to school, I'll text you later." I said and I made my way to the bus stop again.

I heard him say goodbye but my head was somewhere else.

I sat down on the chairs at the reception and was thinking about what just happened. I was about to kiss another girl while I'm in a relationship. I almost cheated on Nat.

"HEY YOU", a male voice yelled pulling me out of my thoughts. I turned around and saw a guy standing behind me pointing towards me.

I stood up and faced him.

"You're going to stay away from Safia."

Who does he think he is?

"And who's telling me what to do?" I asked, taking a step forward as he did the same.

"Her future husband." he said still really pissed off. Everybody was looking at us.

"Aah you must be Zakaria right?" I smirked.

I saw that he was getting angrier everytime I spoke back.

"Don't you dare come near her again." he threatened.

"Or what?!"

"You son of a bitch, she would never see you like that. You're just a white piece of shit." I heard the nurses call for security and I for sure didn't want to get in a fight right after my dad passed away..

"We'll see who she wants, I know for a fact that she likes me more than you." I smirked.

That's when I felt my cheek burn and my head swung to the left.

I looked at him and punched him back but he was bigger than me and that wasn't one of my brightest ideas. He started punching me back and man did that hurt, 2 men came in between us and separated us. I loosened myself and took the elevator back upstairs. That jerk needs to work on his temper. My cheek was hurting but you couldn't really see anything. It will definitely be more visible tomorrow.

Mom was filling in all the papers and Britt was still crying. I went towards her and gave her a hug.

"Dad wouldn't want you to cry so much." I tried comforting her.

We left the hospital as soon as everything was settled. Mom invited the woman but she rejected the offer, saying she needed to get back to her kids. We were driving home and nobody spoke on the ride home.

Zakaria texted me that he wanted to see me at the park, I hope that he didn't see me and Brody at the hospital together because that would ruin everything between us.

The park wasn't far away from home so I decided to walk there. I saw Zak sitting on a bench scrolling through his phone when I arrived at the park.

"Hey Zak!" I yelled and he immediately put his phone away.

"Ooh hey." he responded.

"So, what do you wanna talk about?" I asked.

"Do you have something going on with that guy from school?" he asked.

"Who? Brody? No of course not? Why are you saying that?" he must've seen us at the hospital together, he couldn't have known him otherwise.

"Don't lie Safia! I've seen you together at the hospital today and it looked like you were pretty close with that guy!" he said. He was angry, you could see it in his eyes and his hands were turned into fists. I was pretty scared, what if he..

No he wouldn't touch me, would he?
