Mariam ~
This can't be true.
“Sorry, are you referring to me?” I asked to be certain, so I won't just get my hopes high for nothing.
“Yes, you are the one I am referring to, there is no one else here except for you, so what is your response?” He asked with a smile.
I feel so happy he is asking me out to be his prom date, I already concluded that I am going to attend alone, Cindy has a date and there is no way Dave can be my date because he is a college student.
I only need a student from my level as me to attend the prom party.
“Yes, I will be your date.” I replied to him and we hugged.
“Should I pick you up on that day?” He asked, and I thought about the triplet. Hell no, if he comes, and they see him, I am doomed just like him, so it's best I keep it from them and I meet with Greg at the prom.
“You don't have to stress yourself by coming to get me, I will come myself.” I smiled at him.
“I really don't mind, but if you insist then no problem at all, see you at Prom.” He said taking his leave and I waved at him.
I rushed to meet Cindy at the garden where she normally sits to enjoy nature and the cool breeze as well.
“Hey Cindy, guess what?”
“What?” she asked, not looking so happy with me.
“Come on, what did I do wrong? I just want you to guess and reply with a smile.” I said, trying to tickle her, and finally, I made her laugh.
“Okay, I can't guess, you won, so tell me, what could it be?” She surrendered.
“Greg asked me to be his date.” I replied with a smile.
“Wow, now we both have a date, let's rush to do some shopping, what do you think?” She asked in excitement.
“Like right now?” I asked, feeling a little shy.
“Yes, right now.” she replied, and I nodded, at least I can spare some time before rushing home to prepare dinner for the triplet.
“Okay let's go but we'll pay the bills on you.”
“That's not a problem, I want us to look extremely hot.” I smiled and nodded my head, “ saying,“Okay,, no problem at all.” We got ready to leave.

“MARIAM!! MARIAM!! MARIAM!!” I heard the triplet yelling my name, I hope I didn't do anything wrong? Oh God, I am so scared to answer, but I will be dead if I don't rush to meet them now.
I took a deep breath and stepped out of the room, but there were none in the living room and I could smell something burnt coming from the kitchen area.
“Mariam, get here this instant.” Jett yelled, and I rushed to the kitchen and when the place was covered with smoke and the other brothers were trying to calm it down.
Oh shit, I forgot for a while that I was cooking, I just wanted to relax a little, but I didn't know I would sleep off from there.
What do I do now? What are they going to do to me? Will they all rape me as usual, or beat me? Why do I feel so scared already?
“Mariam, you almost caused a serious fire in this house, how can you be this clumsy?” Axel asked me angrily.
“I am so sorry, please forgive me, It totally escaped my mind that I was cooking, I dozed off.” Unexpectedly I got slapped but didn't know where it came from.
“You must be so silly, what kind of excuse is that? You totally forgot? You are dead tonight, mark my words.” Diesel threatened me and I was already crying.
When on earth will I ever get used to the way they treat me? Why does it still look new to me in a way?
Will they finally kill me today? Lord had mercy, I don't want to die in the hands of the triplet, please lord save me.
“Come with me this minute.” Axel said, and I obeyed.
“Go outside.” He ordered, and I obeyed, but he locked the door immediately.
“Please open up, it's so cold outside, I promise never to make such a mistake again.” I started pleading and knocking, but it seemed they had made up their mind.
“Your punishment Mariam is that you remain there until tomorrow morning, I don't care if you die of cold, and I hope next time, you don't end up making such a terrible mistake.” Axel added.
“That serves you right, bitch.” Diesel added.
“No one will ever save you from us.” Jett added, and I kept begging until no one responded to me anymore.
It was so cold outside and if care was not taken, I might end up being frozen like ice.
I laid on the ground close to the pillar shivering as well, as I dozed off dreaming about Greg.
I dreamt about the Prom night,“Can I have this dance with your Mariam?”
“Oh my God, I don't think I can do this.” I replied to him.
“Why can't you? Tell me? Do you hate me?” He asked me, looking so sad.
“No, not that, I don't hate you at all, it's just that I am a horrible dancer and I can't afford to embarrass you.” I replied, biting my lips and looking down.
He held my hands saying,“Don't worry, I don't mind, just fix your eyes on me okay and forget about any other person, I will teach you.”
“Okay, no problem at all, if you say so.” I smiled and Cindy gave me a thumbs up at the spot she was sitting.
I danced with him, and it was magical. He spun me around, and I ended up in his arms. He looked deep into my soul and tried to kiss me when suddenly someone poured cold water on my body.
Likewise, I jumped up only to realize everything was a dream, and it was Diesel who poured the water on my body.
“Are you so heartless? How can you pour something cold on me when I slept in a cold place all through the night?” I yelled at him, even if I will regret it.
“Did you just talk back to me?” Diesel asked looking so angry, OMG,I just offended the beast, what do I do now? I have no strength to take a beating this morning, it's too early, lord help me.
