I measured the current.Thanks for the advice. i tried reducing it to 10K and it worked! apparently I was not saturating the transistor!
Well it didnt go to 0 but anyway now I got 12V when base is 0 and 0.5V when base is 5V. I guess I am going to invert the base signal (cause I have no idea how PNP works and anyway I dont have one)
if you have any advice please tell me. I am worrying about the current... I suppose I ll have to measure it.

With RC being 300 Ω the current was 37.5mA
I changed RC to 520 Ω and the current got reduced to 22mA without affecting the voltage delivered.
with a 1K the current becomes 11.4 mA
I guess changing the RC resistor lets me control the output current.
