Their Muted Love

I'm Trapped!

Rose's POV

As soon as the last bell rang, I took my bag and came out of the classroom.

I have to somehow escape from the twins and go home. If they catch me, I don't know what they will do. What they did in the canteen during lunchtime made me understand that the twins would not stay away from me. They will keep hovering around me making some excuse or the other.

They don't even realize that seeing their faces reminds me of those past moments. And I want to forget them.

For this, I have decided that I will stay as far away from both brothers as possible. That's why I ran out of the school as soon as the school was over. I know that if the twins catch me, then both of them will forcefully drop me home by making a false excuse of friendship. Which I don't want. I don't want to have anything to do with them.

But as I reached the corridor, someone stopped me by holding my arm. I turned around and saw that Lucas was standing there with his cocky smile.

Oh! How long has he been hiding here? I tried my best to free my arm. But Lucas's grip was very strong.

"Where are you running, Rose? Going home without your friends?" Lucas chuckles as he holds her by her arm.

"You were planning to escape by fooling us, right? But we caught you. We can read your mind very well, Rose. That's why we had already set up a trap for you. And look, we caught you." Marcus said laughing.

I tried to get free from Lucas's grip. But Lucas didn't let my arm go. He is a really strong guy.

"Rose...." Before Lucas could say anything, thin arms held him from behind.

"Baby! You're here. I searched for you all over the school." Lucas' ex-girlfriend said, peeking from his side.

Oh, I had forgotten about it. This is one of those exes of Lucas who does not leave him alone even after the breakup.

To tell you the truth, I did not like these two at all, hanging out with girls and having relationships with them and then leaving them. I also understood their loneliness. This is the reason they keep between girls.

The twins never listen to me. They only do what they want. Apart from being rich and handsome, they are also very handsome. All the girls in the college were crazy about them.

Anyway, I have nothing to do with them. So now whatever they do, I will not interfere.

For the time being, Lucas's attention was diverted from me due to the arrival of his ex. Lucas was startled by his ex's sudden arrival.

His grip on my hand got loosened. As soon as I got a chance, I freed my hand from Lucas and I ran away from there.

"s**t! Rose, wait!" I heard Marcus calling me from behind but I didn't stop.

If I would have stopped, they would have caught me again. So I hid in the nearby girls' bathroom.

I massage Kiran to keep them in the parking area. When he sees Marcus and Lucas leave the school area he will call me. Until now I'll stay here.

Kiran agreed with my plan. He will give me a call. Now I have to wait here.

After waiting for a while, I heard the sound of the bathroom door opening. I raised my head and looked at the door, and my mobile fell from my hand. Mark came in with a creepy smile. My face turned plain.

How did he come here? How did he know that I was here?

“Oh, so you are here, rabbit!” He smiled at me.

I quickly ran into the open toilet and locked the door behind me.

“What is this? I have searched so hard for you here. And you are hiding from me. This is not fair.” Mark’s voice sent a shiver of fear through my body.

I moved back from the door. My mind stopped working. I started to feel panic. My whole body was drenched in sweat.

“Rose… My dear Rose… Open the door quickly. Look, I have already locked the door. Now no one will disturb us. I have also seen both of your useless friends leaving the school. So now no one will come here.” Mark’s voice came from near my door.

‘Go Away! Go Away!’ I keep thinking the same again and again.

I need to call for help. I look around for my phone.

Shit! My phone was outside. I dropped as I saw him. My bag is also outside. I'm trapped!

“Bang! Bang! Open the door, Rose. Or did you want me to break this door?” Mark's voice turns sweet to cold as he bangs the door.

‘Is he really able to break this door?’ I stare at the door horrified.

“Or did you want me to come in?” Mark's voice comes from my right side.

I look up to voice direction. He was there looking at me with lustful eyes.

“You can't run, Rose.” He wink his eyes at me with a bright smile.

I quickly turned and opened the door and went out. I was about to reach the main door running when Mark grabbed my hair and pulled me back.

I fell back in full force. As soon as I fell, I tried to get up but Mark slapped me hard. He did not stop there; he slapped me several times and made me half-dead. I was trying to get up, gasping for the air. My cheeks are paining badly.

But If I give up like this, Mark will do the same thing to me again. I looked at Mark with tears in my eyes. I blink my eyes to kick my tears away. I didn't want to show him that I was weak.

Mark bent down and grabbed my hair and forced me to get up. He removed the mask from my face.

“What kind of mask are you wearing? Don’t hide your beautiful face like this. This mark I have given you looks so cute. This is a reminder of who you belong to.” Mark touched the mark on my face with his finger.

“Tsk… tsk… I miss your voice a lot. How you were struggling to get free from me, crying for help. I miss all that. Let's do some revision today shall we?" Saying this, Mark stood up leaving me lying on the floor. He unbuckled his belts.

As soon as I got free from his grip, I crawled back away from him as quickly as I could. Seeing that, Mark laughed loudly.

“Oh! I remember. Last time you called your friends for help with great difficulty. But they never show up. So sad! But today I will give you time. Try calling your friends. If they come then you will be saved. Let's see if they really care for you.” Mark said, smiling.

I turned and picked up my phone. Which had started ringing now. I saw that Kiran was calling me. I quickly picked up the call.

“Rose… Rose, where are you? Are you okay?” Kiran asked in a worried voice.

I opened my mouth to answer. But no sound came out of my mouth. I hit the ground in irritation. I forget that I can't speak.

Then, remembering something, I made a different type of tap-tap on the floor so that Kiran would know that I was in danger. This is the language that we develop if I really need to call him for help.

“What? Where are you?” Kiran asked quickly.

I had just told him to go to the bathroom by tap-tap when Mark snatched the phone from my hand. He quickly disconnected the call. And threw my phone away.

“Time is over! Now it's time for fun!” Then he grabbed my hair but I turned around and punched him.

“Ah!!” Mark turned back holding his face.

I quickly picked up my phone and went to the nearest toilet and locked the door behind me. I quickly sent my location to Kiran.

“Rose! Enough of this game. Come out!” Mark’s angry voice numbed my mind.

‘No! I will not open the door! No matter what happens.’ I thought.

“Rose… open…” Before Mark could say anything, we both heard a loud knock on the door.

“Rose! Open the door. It’s me… Kiran.” I heard Kiran’s voice but my mind was unable to process it.

“You got saved this time. But for how long? I am the Nightmare from which you can never come out. I will get you back. Then none of your friends will be able to find you.” Mark knocked on the door once again and it went silent.

I sat in the corner and waited for him to leave. Then I heard the sound of the door opening.

‘No! He has come back!’

Soon the toilet door opening sound came.
