MARIA It's been a week since I've sat at home and done a whole lot of nothing. Emad doesn't want me to go anywhere alone. I asked whether I could at least take a walk outside the house. His face grew cold and he told me no, especially no going anywhere near the house. But I've decided that I've had enough. I'm going outside. Emad doesn't rule over my life. He shouldn't have gotten me a sim if he didn't want me to go anywhere. Now I'm going to go and see the directions from google maps. As I step outside, adrenaline rushes through my veins. And I grin. I somehow feel rebellious, although I'm doing nothing wrong, and it's an amazing feeling. I put on the location for the closest mosque and start walking. It's a fifteen minute walk. After five minutes pass, I just feel like I can't walk
