I didn't know what to do. All I did was to cry and curse myself for being rude to Johnny. I felt the car halt and I pretended to be unconscious. I heard a loud creaky noise. The back of the car opened.
"Take her in" The familiar voice said. It was Arvin's. I tried hard not to cry. My birthday was probably rather going to be my death day. I couldn't help but think of the possibility. I was thrown on the ground like a rag. I opened my eyes in pain and moaned. I cried as I sat on the ground surrounded by many girls. Only girls. I saw familiar faces and some other girls. I shivered at how dirty they looked. The men came to carry me again and sent me to another vacant room. Arvin sat in a rocking chair. He hummed softly as he rocked to and fro. He looked wicked, so wicked. His handsome features were all melted in the wicked expression. He came over and removed the tape on my lips. He looked at me pitifully and laughed loudly. I just glared at him. "How do you feel Jessy?" He asked in a mocking tone. Then he glanced at me.
"Jesus, Jessy, what happened to you?" He asked and laughed loudly again. I was breathing harshly with anger.
"I think you look sexier in this state" He said in a low voice and traced his fingers on my exposed thigh. I jerked myself, if only I could release myself from the ropes. I struggled so much and he smacked me on my cheeks. I kept calm.
"You wretch, I trusted you and you did this?" I yelled at him. I was shaking with anger.
"Didn't you see those girls, they all trusted me and look at them" He said and laughed as he clapped his hands. I gulped.
"You are disgusting, freaking disgusting" I said through clenched teeth. He glared at me and beckoned his men to take me back.

I leaned on the wall helplessly.
"In case I die, then Johnny, forgive me for all I did" I murmured and watched the ring on my finger.
I didn't wanna like you. You were so calm and gentle and I tried to shrug you off just because of a stupid Arvin. I thought as tears flowed rapidly on my cheeks. I couldn't stop them. A man suddenly entered and pulled a girl forcefully. I heard screams and pleas in the corridor till it vanished. I looked at the corridor with horror on my face and I felt my voice vanish. I closed my eyes tightly till I could tell I finally regained my voice.
"What happens to the girls here?" I whispered to a girl who sat next to me. Her dress was stripped from her shoulder to her belly revealing her blue bra. She cried before narrating everything. She said her name was Lily. Some of the men just entered and picked a girl of their choice forcefully. Some are defiled, others are sold...others are killed. The main purpose of being here is sex trade. I grimaced as she narrated.
"How did you meet Arvin?"
"It's not Arvin I met. He has his companions elsewhere where they deceive the girls and bring them here. I fell for a guy, James. We were in the same bed making love when I passed out, moments later, I found myself here"
She said and sobbed harder. She searched my face to see if I had any judgement or disgusting expression. When she didn't see any, she hugged me and I hugged her back...tightly to comfort her.

A man suddenly walked in and threw water on us. I sat up and sniffed. I realized I drifted into sleep. My neck ached from resting my head on the wall. The man smirked. He had tatoos all over his arms and he looked so scary. He picked a girl and pulled her. It was dawn at the time. He stroked the girls cheek and dragged her after him as the girl pleaded in tears. I winced. I felt bad thinking of the fate of the girl.
Lily and I made a plan afterwards. We realized the men brought phones with them usually in their pockets. If any of the two of us were taken, then we'll carry on with our plans. Fortunately, Lily was taken in the next two dawns. All we ate was some onion soup for the three days I stayed there. I winked at her. She struggled in the man's arms and cried all her heart out. Her hands which were being thrown frantically with struggle suddenly went into the man's back pocket. I gulped hoping she would be successful. I sighed in relief. She pulled the man's phone gently and threw it at me. She was pretending to struggle at the time. I hid the phone in my boobs after keeping at silent mode.
"Leave her alone" I screamed. The man jerked his head in my direction. He threw Lily on the ground violently and came towards me.
"You wanna go today?" He said getting closer to me. I shook my head sharply. He smirked and moved away.
"I want to pee" I whispered to him. He had his concentration on Lily at the time so he showed me a place to go and I went. He waited outside for me and told another man as scary as him to watch me. I entered the small dark dirty room and dialed Hannah's number.
"Hello"
"Jesus, Jessy, where are you?" She shrieked.
"Shhh" I was afraid the man heard me. My hands shook as I held the phone.
"Call the police please, I'm kidnapped:I whispered and the phone fell.
