GUYSSS! I JUST RECEIVED SOME GOOD NEWS!

REMEMBER MY EXAM I HAD A WEEK AGO?!

WELL, I JUST GOT THE NEWS THAT I'VE PASSED!

HAMDULILLAH!

Enjoy!🌹

~~~~~~~

I've been trying to call Brody for the past few hours, but he wasn't picking up. I lost it when we arrived home 4 hours ago. I just cried like a baby and Amin wanted the guy that assaulted me dead.

*4 hours earlier*

"HE IS DEAD MEAT!" Amin shouted closing the front door hard.

"Amin j-"

"NO! if somebody dares to touch my sister, they are doomed!" he interrupted me.

"JUST SHUT UP OKAY!" I shouted while a few tears slipped out.

Amin was looking at me with a worried expression.

"I AM the one that almost got raped!" I kneeled on the ground and started crying. It just hit me that I almost got raped.. Never did a guy touch me like that, never! Because of him I'll always be afraid when a guy is around me. I hate him!

"I hate him." I whispered whilst Amin had his arm wrapped around me.

"It's okay." he tried to sooth me.

It was a half an hour later and we were sitting on the couch just watching TV while I was trying to call Brody.

"Any luck?" Amin asked.

"No, still no answer." I responded.

"I owe that kid a lot for protecting you, you know." he said with a soft smile.

I smiled back and focussed on trying to call Brody again.

"Hey, do you.. euhm..." He hesitated.

"Just spill it Amin."

"Do you like him?" He asked.

Who? Brody? Isn't that obvious? He just saved me, he's in trouble because of me... But I'm not going to tell him that, he is going to kill me for liking a non-Muslim or just a guy in general.

"What?! Of course not.. He's just a really good friend." responded.

He nodded and turned his face back to the TV.

*Now*

Mom came home a few hours ago but I was hiding in my room, I wasn't ready to tell her what happened today. Amin promised me that he wouldn't say anything, but that she needed to know. What will she say? How am I goi-

The sound of my phone interrupted my thoughts, it was Brody.. He finally called me back after I called him like a 100 times.

"Brody?" I asked.

"Yeah Safia, how are you? Are you okay?" he was the one being at the cops the whole day and he was wondering if I was okay?

"I'm fine Brody, did they let you go?"

"Yes, they did for now but I have to appear in court in 3 weeks for assault."

"That's BS! You didn't do anything wrong besides protecting me!" I responded.

"Yes I know and I have a big shot of winning according to my attorney."

"You don't deserve this." I sobbed.

"Neither do you, Nathan is dead if he isn't already.. I want to see you Safia." He said softly.

"I want to see you too." I responded. I actually really wanted to see him. I wanted to know if he was okay, I wanted to hold him and never let go.

"Meet me at the park around 7pm." he said.

"Okay, I'll be there if I can sneak out of the house."

"Okay bye."

"Bye." and he hung up.

Now, I only need to come up with something to cover the meet up.

"AH!" I whispered to myself.. Amina, she doesn't even know what happened today. I'll call her.

"Heeeey where were you today? You ditched me hard!" she sounded angry.

"I'm sorry habibti, but something happened today." I responded.

"Yeah! I heard, apparently Brody almost punched Nathan to death"

"NO! that isn't what happened." I responded angrily.

"Than what happened?" she asked.

I told her everything; Nathan assaulting me, Brody almost killing him by protecting me and Brody's and my time at the police station.

"I'm coming over!" she insisted.

"No Amina, I'm meeting Brody in a few but I need a cover story."

"Hold up, since when have you become so sneaky." I just knew she was smirking.

"Will you help me or not?" I asked.

"I will of course, but if something happens between you and Brody, you must tell me."

"Okay, we'll do." I soothed her. Nothing is going to happen, she needs to chill..

"I'll just tell mom and Amin that I'm staying at your place this evening, watching movies or whatever.."

"Okay, call me after your meetup with your boyfriend." she teased me.

"Shut up ha-ha"

"Love you bye." and she hung up.

She always made me smile, I just hope that everything is going according to plan.

I looked at my clock and saw that it was already a quarter to 7.

"Mom, I'm going to Amina's place?" I said putting on my shoes.

"Do you want me to take you?" Amin offered.

"Hold up, since when do you take her somewhere, since when did you guys even talk normal to each other?" My mom asked raising one eyebrow, waiting for a response.

"Since today and no, I'll take the bus." I lied.

"Okay honey." and she kissed me on my cheek.

I kissed Yassine goodbye and left the house, okay that went alright... I walked to the park as it wasn't that far away from my house. When I arrived there I already saw Brody sitting on a bench, as soon as he saw me he ran up to me and hugged me.

"Don't you dare tell me that I can't touch you." he said hugging me tightly.

"You get a free pass for now." I said.

We sat down and talked about everything.. School, the charges, Nathan and our friends.

"I'm not going to school for a few days next week.. just to let everything blow over." he said.

"I understand, I'm going though.. I'm not missing any classes because of that.. ugh." I almost vomited just thinking about that jerk.

"Hey, are you okay though?", He asked me looking directly into my eyes.

"Yeah I'm fine Brody. I'm sorry that you're going to court because of me."

"Don't apologize, I would do it again." he said grabbing my hand.

I looked at the clock and saw that it was already 10pm, "Shoot, mom is going to kill me." I said standing up.

"C'mon I'll drive you home." Brody offered.

We both jumped in the car and he drove me home. He turned down the radio and looked at me whilst we were stopping at a red stoplight.

"So," he began.

"What?" I responded.

"Do you.. euhm want to go on a real date with me?" he asked looking at me. His cheeks turned red while he was waiting for a response.

"Brody, I like you.. I really do but I can't."

He parked the car at the side of the road and looked at me.

"What are you doing?" I asked confused.

"I'm not taking you home until you're going on a date with me."

"Brody, don't be annoying, c'mon take me home!"

"Noopp."'he said popping the 'p' and turning the engine off.

"BRODY!" I shouted.

"Get comfortable, cause we'll be here for a long time." he smirked looking directly at me.

This guy, seriously!
