As the wheels of the car hum rhythmically on the asphalt, the city lights blur into streaks of luminous paint against the canvas of the night. The dashboard glows softly, casting an ethereal hue on my face as I navigate the labyrinth of streets.

Mia and Luna chating with each other, passing their time.

The soft glow of the dashboard illuminates the controls, and my hands find comfort in the firm grip of the steering wheel. As the engine hums, I scan the surroundings, relying on the car's headlights to pierce through the darkness.

Mia's words still hang in my ears.

Talking with her, I felt good. Again in my life, I felt like everything will be normal, again. It feels like weight lifted from my chest. Weight of fear. Fear of losing my Family. I was scared. Afraid. And what not. But talking to her, I felt relieved. It feels like everything will be alright.

Yet, something is off. As the car settled into an uneasy quiet, the disquiet within me intensified. A subtle unease nestled in the pit of my stomach, like a storm brewing beneath a deceptively calm surface. It was a gnawing feeling, a gut instinct warning of an impending storm.

"When will we reach there ? I'm already tired." Luna whinned.

I rolled my eyes at her overdramatic self.

"5 minutes, Luna" I informed her, as I took a slow turn.

"You are going to club, Luna. Don't be lazy right now." Mia reminded her.

Luna huffed at that.

"It's not my fault that I am hungry since dinner. I didn't eat anything after dinner." She complained.

I let out a chuckle.

"You are weird." I heard Mia's comment.

I love my friends.

Pushing back those gut feelings in back of my mind, I keep myself engage in my friend's talk.

Soon enough, a beautiful lighted 'Moonview Club' board is in our sight.

"We are here, guys" I informed them.

The night air was charged with anticipation as I expertly maneuvered my car into a coveted parking spot, the engine purring to silence.

As we exited the car, the chill of the night air tinged with excitement enveloped us. Stepping out from the car, the distant bass thump grew louder, pulling us toward the club like a magnetic force.

I looked at the club with a classic grin.

"Let's beat the night" I winked at my two friends, who in response smiled and nodded at me.

We reached to the entrance of the beautifully decorated club.

We came infront of the bouncers.

Handing our fake I'ds to them, we stood there waiting for him to complete his process. As we are underage, we have our fake I'ds.

He took our I'ds and I swear I felt a surge of adrenaline as he scrutinized the details.

With a nod of approval, the bouncer granted us passage, and we exchanged triumphant glances. Vibrant wristbands adorned our arms, signaling our entry into the clandestine world beyond.

Entering in the club, my eyes started looking for my someone special.

"Already looking for brother-in-law, huh, I see" Luna whispered in my ears. I rolled my eyes at her to which she just smirk.

"No, it's not like that" I told her.

"Keep lying to yourself, Babes" She winked at me as I glared at her.

"Olivia" I turned around only to see the most handsome Man of my life. My Man.

My eyes lit up as immediately a smile came across on my face.

"You are so handsome" I let out looking at him with my sparkly eyes.

"You guys are wearing matching clothes." Luna squealed.

Ignoring her, Lucas came towards me, looking me up to down.

"You are looking so sexy" I swear my cheeks turned crimson as a wide smile formed on my lips.

"Thanks" I mutter, trying to stop myself from blushing more.

"She is blushing so hard" Mia and Luna laughed at that.

Ugghh these girls are damn embarassing !!!!

Lucas chuckled, pulling me in his embrace.

"Ok, we will leave you guys here only." Luna said, holding Mia's wrist.

"But-" Before Mia could say anything, Luna pulled her with herself and mixed in the crowd.

I looked at them with a smile.

"So, let's start our party" The hairs on my neck stood up as I could literally feel Lucas's breath on my neck.

I looked at him.

"Our party ?" I frowned and tilted my head.

He stared at my lips for a second and leaned down and gave me a peck.

"Yep, Our party" He winked at me and pulled me with him somewhere in the crowd and I let him.

Moonview Club is One of the best club of the city. The owner organises this party for everyone as it is an open party because of the silver Jubilee of this club. We all saw the article on newspaper and now we are here. Half of our school is here in this party.

Whole club is decorated with lights. Multicolored lights swept across the room, casting an otherworldly glow on the dance floor where energetic young couples moved in rhythmic unison. The bass thumped through the floor, resonating with the heartbeat of the crowd.

Couples twirled, their movements a fluid expression of connection, while others, lost in the music, swayed with carefree abandon. The dance floor became a kaleidoscope of bodies, each person adding their unique brushstroke to the vibrant canvas of the night.

As Lucas and I came towards the counter, He ordered a drink for both of us.

"Two Tequila"

My head snapped towards him.

"Luc, I don't drink Tequila." I reminded him.

"I know Babes, but everything has a first time, right ?" He winked at me.

"But-"

"We are going to try Tequila together. No need to worry, when I am with you, Olivia. You can drink whatever you want with me." He pulled me closer to him.

"But Luc-"

"Sshhh" He sshed me, keeping his finger on my lips and stared in my eyes.

I looked in his eyes. In his pretty Hazel eyes. Lucas is definitely one of the most handsome boy of our university. His eyes are the most attractive part of his face. For me, he is whole most attractive person. I looked in his eyes. The only thing I could see is his Love for me. His immense love.

"You are definitely looking so hot today, you know." He whispered.

I shut my eyes tightly with a wide smile on my face again.

I should stop blushing now.

"Here is your drinks, sir" That Bartender interrupted our so sweet moment.

I sighed at that.

Tequila sunrise. It is good but I never liked it. When, I was 12 years old, I tried it first time. And let me tell you, that day became my nightmare. Tequila sunrise is actually vibrant colourful cocktail.

Lucas took both of the glasses.

Turning towards me, He smirked, "This is for you, My lady"

I Smiled, looking in his eyes and extend my hand to take it.

But, I frowned, when he pulled back the glass.

"What ?"

"Atleast tie your shoelace, babes" He told me, quiet seriously.

I looked down at my shoes. My shoelaces are actually untied.

"That's good, I saw it. Don't be careless. Tie it first, only then you will get this." He winked at me showing Tequila glass.

I chuckled at this and immediately bend down to tie my laces.

After tying it, I stood up.

"Ok, now ?" I asked him with a smile.

"Yep, here." He smiled and handed me my glass.

I smiled and accepted it.

"Cheers" He winked at me.

The glasses clink together, the sound drowned in the symphony of music and laughter that surrounds us. The amber liquid inside catches the vibrant lights, casting a warm glow on our faces.

"You know," he starts, his tone taking on an endearing quality, "I've always wondered what have I done to get such a beautiful girl like you ?"

I can't help but let out a chuckle.

"Olivia, you know, according to me, Love is like a puzzle. Each person is a piece, and when you find the right fit, everything just clicks into place. It's like a never-ending game of hide-and-seek, but instead of seeking, you stumble upon the most unexpected moments of connection."

I can't help but smile at his interesting point of view for Love.

His lips pulled wide as he holds my hand.

"And tonight, in this sea of people, I feel like I've found my missing piece. It's like the universe conspired to bring us together, don't you think ?"

I immediately nodded with a toothy grin of my own.

"You know, My friends have always praised you. They always wanted a beautiful girlfriend like you, and guess what, I found just that kind of girlfriend. They are very jealous of me. They always keep telling me that-"

Lost in the rhythm of his musings, I find myself captivated not just by his thoughtful banter but by the way his mind works. The club's lights reflect in his eyes, turning them into pools of genuine curiosity. His hands gesture animatedly as he delves into the complexities of the space-time continuum, and I become entranced by the rhythmic dance of his words.

"Earth to Olivia" I flinched slightly when he waved his hands infront of my eyes.

"What ?"

"Where were you lost ?" He asked me amused.

I immediately shook my head in slight embarrassment.

He chuckled.

"Ayy, you didn't even take a sip. Drink it, Babes" He reminded me of Tequila which is in my hand, untouched.

"Yeah, I forgot" I admitted, sheepishly.

He shook his head and laughed.

Just as the glass approaches my lips, a sudden force from behind jolts me forward. A gasp escapes my lips as I stumble, desperately trying to regain my balance. The tequila glass slips from my grasp.

"Fuck" I mutter under my breath, frustration seeping into my tone. I turn around swiftly, searching for the culprit of this unexpected push.

My eyes widened when I saw none other than my own twin with his so called bestfriend.

Mason.

Dylan.

His eyes widened too like he didn't expect me here, but soon, his eyes turned cold.

I glared at him.

"Are you fucking blind ?" I heard a voice from behind me.

He stared at me for a second, before glaring at my boyfriend.

"I am not blind but you are a brainless idiot and that's for sure." He remarked.

"Mason, stop it" I warned him.

"Tell your petty boyfriend to stop first." He told me.

"You bastard-" Lucas takes a step, but Mason didn't even budge.

He keeps glaring at him with his deadliest glare.

At that moment, he is not the brother, I know. His eyes held something intense, which I can't even pinpoint. Actually, Mason will never left a chance to glare at me, at any moment. But, today, something is different. The glare with which he is looking at Lucas, right now, is something I am seeing first time.

Not gonna lie, it actually scares me for some reason.

I looked at back and forth, from my boyfriend to my brother as they are glaring at each other, continuously.

"Let it go, Luc, let's go from here." I kept my hand on his shoulder, trying to calm him down.

Mason's head snapped towards me with that heated glare.

"Where are you going ?" Mason spatted, taking a step towards me.

"And that shouldn't concern you" Lucas growled too.

What's actually going on ?

"I am not asking you, I am talking to my-" He stopped himself, breaking my already broken heart.

My heart clenched.

Does he hate me so much that he can't even call me his sister ?

I immediately blinked away my tears.

"My what ? Huh ? My what ?" Lucas tilted his head a little with a .... Smirk ?

Mason looked at me. He stared in my eyes.

"My Sister" He told him, coldly.

Lucas let out a chuckle, a dry chuckle.

"Sure and I believe you."

"Lucas, enough, let's go." I immediately, held his hand, trying to calm him down.

I don't want my brother and my boyfriend to fight here in the party infront of our school. This is the last thing, I want right now.

"You are not going anywhere, Olivia-"

Before Mason could say anything, I turned my head towards him with a harsh glare.

"Bold of you to even think that I will listen to you" I gritted my teeth.

I still haven't forgotten his slap.

And, I will not forgive him for that.

He looked at me with some sort of emotion for just a second. But as soon as, it came, it is gone. His eyes grew darken.

He took a step towards me.

"Sometimes one should listen to others also. It is not necessary that whatever you think is always right. Because of this mistake of yours, my Ria-" He immediately stopped himself when he realised what he is actually going to say.

I stiffened at that.

My eyes glistened with unshed tears.

Why does he always blame me ?

"Bitch" He muttered and left from there.

Dylan, his bestfriend take a step towards me.

"I am sorry, Olivia. You know your brother, he doesn't mean it. He is hurt and-"

"What about me, Dylan ? I am hurt too." I stated.

He stopped in his tracks looking at me with some different emotions.

"I-I- know" He sighed, "Just so you know, he still loves you and cares for you"

I scoffed at that, blinking away my tears.

"I know it's hard to trust me but I know him, I am his bestfriend-"

"And I am his sister, Dylan. His twin." I completed with my harsh glare.

He looked at me with sympathetic eyes.

But, I don't need anyone's sympathy.

"Enough. Stop with your delusions. Your bestfriend is just a little shit who only knows how to blame others for his loss." I slightly winced at Lucas's choice of words.

Dylan's eyes darkened. He glared at Lucas with fire eyes.

"I don't think so, I should mention who is the actual little shit, here. Lucas, we both know what you are upto. It will be good for you, if you will leave those thoughts. Otherwise- don't forget, we are watching you."

I frowned at this.

What's this supposed to mean ?

I looked at Lucas in confusion only to see him slightly looking.... scared ?

"Take care, Olivia" He again glared at Lucas and left, leaving me with a confusion.

"What is he talking about, Luc ? What are you upto ?" I directed my question towards my boyfriend.

Lucas, for a mere second, looked lost but immediately regain his posture.

"Do you really believe him, Olivia ? He is that bastard's friend-"

"Lucas please" I immediately stopped him.

I don't know why I never liked how he called my brother names. Even if I hate my brothers, I still don't like if someone or anyone will call them any names in their absence.

Lucas narrowed his eyes at me, but sighed.

"Sorry, Olivia, I-I- sorry" He sighed, "Leave it, let's go for a dance, shall we ?"

Before I could protest anything, he added, "After all, I don't want my beautiful girlfriend sad in this beautiful evening." He winked.

I blushed at his compliment.

"So, let's dance, my girl ?" He take out his hand infront of me and I can't help but giggled at his actions but nonetheless, gives my hand in his.

He immediately pulled me on a dance floor where other couples are actually enjoying the evening unlike us. We begin to dance, our movements synchronized with the rhythm, and I find myself lost in the depth of his eyes, where love seems to unfold like a delicate flower.

The music wraps around us, creating a cocoon of emotions as Lucas holds me close. "You look absolutely stunning tonight," he whispers, his words a sweet melody in my ear.

A smile graces my lips, and I reply, "So do you. This is perfect."

As we sway to the music, the world outside our dance seems to fade away. The club becomes our own private universe, where every step is a heartbeat, and every glance is a shared secret. In the luminous glow of the dance floor, love emanates, painting the scene with hues of passion.

Suddenly, Lucas interrupts our dance, his expression shifting. "I need to use the washroom," he says, his eyes holding a hint of urgency. "Come with me. I don't want to leave you alone in this crowd."

Nodding my head, I let him dragging me to somewhere, I don't even know.

The atmosphere changes as we navigate the crowded club, the music's throb becoming a distant echo. The urgency in his steps raises questions, but I choose to dismiss them, focusing on the connection we share.

I frowned when he pulled me in a room, at the end of the hallway, far from the crowd and DJ.

"Luc, How do you know that here is the washroom ?" I asked him, looking around the room, which is bathed in dim lights awaits, untouched by the lively beats and vibrant energy of the dance floor. The soft glow emanates from a few strategically placed lamps, casting a subdued ambiance.

Lucas glances around before holding my arms. "Listen," he says, his voice low and urgent, "there's something I need to tell you. It can't wait."

The sudden gravity in his words tugs at my heart. "What is it?" I ask, a knot of concern forming in my stomach. 

His eyes, once filled with affection, now carry a weight of something that I can't pinpoint.

"I didn't want to say this on the dance floor, but someone is spreading rumors about us. About you and me. I overheard it, and I wanted to warn you before things get out of hand."

I frowned. "Rumors ? What kind of rumors ?"

He leans in, whispering words that cut through the music's distant beat. "People are saying we're not as genuine as we seem. That our relationship is a facade. I wanted to tell you before it reaches you from someone else."

It just increase my confusion.

"What ?"

"Yes, Olivia." He told me.

"So what, Lucas ? I mean I don't care about others' thinkings. I know you love me and you know I love you. And That's what matters, right ?" I told him.

He sighed, "I know that but I wants to shut their mouths, too."

Confusion and apprehension swirl within me.

"What are you saying, Luc ?" I asked him.

He comes closer and again holds my arms. Lucas, his eyes holding an intensity I can't quite decipher, leans down slowly, bridging the gap between us. The pulsating beats seem to synchronize with the rapid thud of my heart as the distance between our lips diminishes.

Time momentarily suspends as his warm breath brushes against my skin. Before I can fully comprehend the gravity of the situation, our lips touch, sending an electric jolt through my senses.

We actually kissed each other many times but it is different this time. 

His kiss is hungry, demanding, as if he's been waiting for this moment with an intensity that matches the rhythm of the music. The world around us dissolves into a blur as his lips explore mine with a fervor that leaves me breathless.

Every sensation is heightened—the taste of his kiss, the scent of his cologne, the way his fingers delicately trace patterns on the small of my back.

Between the kiss, I felt his hands, unbuttoning my top. My heart started beating fast in my chest. I keeps my hand on his chest, trying to push him, but, he pulls me closer, holding me by my waist.

I pull out from the kiss, taking deep breaths.

"L-Luc- w-what are you-" Before, I can complete my sentence, he touches his lips with mine once more. His hands again travel down as he resumes unbuttoning my top. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I suddenly felt uncomfortable with my own boyfriend.

He removes my top. My heartbeats getting faster every second.

I am not ready for this !

Gathering my all courage, I pushes him away from me. Tears are rolling down my cheeks.

"What are you doing, Lucas ?" I shouts at him.

His eyes widen for a second.

"Babe, we are couples. Let's do this. Let's show everyone that we are not fake. Our relationship is not a facade." He says, coming closer to me.

I looked at him with disbelief.

"N-No Lucas, I am not ready, please, I can't do this, I am an underage." I tries to reason him.

His eyes darkened at that.

"Bullshit Olivia. You were never ready for this. It's been three years we are in relationship. But, you are still not ready for it. Grow up, Olivia, Be a little mature."  He raises his voice at me.

I flinched at that. Hurt pierces through me, catching me off guard, as his outburst is entirely unanticipated and out of character. I had never seen him like this. My hands begin to shiver involuntarily, a physical manifestation of the emotional turmoil within. Goosebumps ripple across my entire body, each one a testament to the shock and pain that his sudden outburst has ignited. The tears well up, streaming down my cheeks, and I can't control the flood of ugly sobs that escape.

He massaged his temples and sighed, "Leave it, Olivia. Lets do it now."

My head snapped towards him, as my eyes widened in shock. He takes a step towards me. I frantically shakes my head.

"N-No Luc, P-Please, I am n-not r-ready- p-please-" I again get cuts off by his tight hold on my arms. 

"No Olivia. You are my girlfriend. Stop overreacting. Nothing is wrong. And today, you are actually looking sexy." He states, making me freeze in my spot. 

His eyes, once filled with affection, love, is now has lust in it ......? 

As he leans down, he started kissing my neck hungrily like a wolf as I started questioning his .... Love for me ?

"N-No Luc- p-pl-please- don-t- do- t-this-" I gasped when his hands travels down to my skirt.

"L-Luc- P-Please- leave me" I winced, when he bites me at my neck. Tears pours down my cheeks as I sobbed hard. 

My mind goes numb when he unhooks my skirt. My heartbeats getting out of control. 

God, please, help me. 

His hands tighten around mine, a suffocating numbness wraps around me, rendering me powerless. My own boyfriend, the one I thought I could trust, is now a source of fear. The air thickens with tension as his demands grow forceful, leaving me paralyzed and voiceless. My heart pounds in my chest, a frantic rhythm that mirrors the panic building within. Tears blur my vision, streaming down my cheeks as silent pleas for release. The weight of his actions presses down, a heavy burden that I struggle to bear.

"I fucking love you, so much, Olivia Hernandez." He whispers, pushing me on the bed and hovers over me. 

My cries are uncontrollable. 

"Lucas- pl-please l-leave m-me- p-please-" I gasps when he tightens his hold on my hair, kissing me forcefully.

I shut my eyes tightly, feeling disgusted, betrayed and used.

The person, whom I adored is now became a demon of my nightmare. The one who should provide solace has become the source of my distress. His touch, once gentle, is now a reminder of the shattered trust.

My heart clenches when his hands travels to unhook my bra.

A sob escapes my mouth as I can feel his hands on my naked body.

Suddenly, I feel a weight lifting off from me as a blanket is thrown over my body, covering my naked and disgusted self.
