âis this her?â a lady asked, they moved closer to us while Tina tried to put me behind her âof course, she is the oneâ another lady replied, I really don’t know what I do because I donât think I have done anything bad to them before âpâŚplease what do you wantâ Tina asked âMy friend move away let us see that bitchâ one of them said as she pushed Tina to the floor while I tried to help her up but I was dragged towards them, I couldnât open my mouth to say anything cos I was really scared than ever, I am more scared than when Dora tortured me, I still donât know what I did and I am not ready to get another Dora in my life, Goodness am so sca….. âwhatâs going on here?! A voice suddenly asked, I turned around and there was this same guy Tina always tell me about, oh I forgot we met at the eatery. He wasnât looking at me but at the ladies and they seem really scared. He helped Tina up then another guy joined us which I assume to be his friend âI asked, whats going on here?â he asked again but in a very firm way âwe âŚweâ They all stuttered âDid she know about this,did she send you guys?â he asked the ladies and I wondered who he was talking about âkindly leave while am being niceâ without repeating himself the ladies quickly left âam sorry about thatâ he apologized and I wondered why he is sorry

I was done with my lecture as Kelvin and I left the lecture hall, I did not come with my car to the school so I asked Kelvin to pick me up from home and he also have to drop me back at home cos am quite lazy to drive and I donât want our driver, me taking a driver with me will make Mr. Daniel appoint 2 or 3 guards with me and I donât want that.
We were on our way to Kelvinâs car when we saw this two ladies again, I was able to get her friendâs number; Tina.
We have been talking lately and I donât want to rush her to ask her about her friend yet, I really want us to get along very well before I start to ask things about her friend .
I saw them hugging each other and believe me this girl looked cute when she smile.
They were on their way to get a cab and thatâs when I saw Nadiaâs friends, am hundred percent sure that Nadia wont send them, she has dignity and she canât go this level, seeing Suzzan with them, I already knew she brought them. I acted like I didnât see her at the eatery that day but I saw her, I just ignored her but I wondered what this girl has done to them, one of them pushed Tina to the floor, âwhat rubbish is that?â Kelvin said as he saw them, they suddenly dragged Audrey towards them , she suddenly have her normal expression back; scared and terrified. I walked to them and that was when i asked if Nadia sent them, but they couldnât say anything and I wonât let it slide, I have to let Nadia know what her friends are doing because am sure they wont back down that easily. I apologized on their behalf, “no its ok, Thanks for your helpâ Tina said, but this girl is not looking up âwe will talk later Tinaâ I said âalright thanks againâ she said as she quickly dragged Audrey by her hand, I watched them taking the same cab home and that was when we walked to where Kelvinâs car was parked âdo you see that lady you call Tina, she looks cute with her glasses, so innocent lookingâ Kelvin said and I gave him the â are you crazyâ look âwhy are you giving me that lookâ he asked âKelvin stay away from her, she is not one of those girls you carry aroundâ I warned firmly and entered the car, he also entered the car after me âcommon pâŚ..â âdonât even think of asking her number from meâ I quickly cut him short âhow do you know i want to ask for her numberâ he asked âcause you have been my friend for more than 10 years and I know youâ I replied âguy I understand you, I swear on my motherâs grave that am not going to hurt her, I just want her number, I wanna get close to her and be friends and if we end up more than friends, trust me I will be serious with herâ that is it, the only time I know when my friend is serious is when he mention his dad or dead mum, he doesnât joke with them âwhat if she has a boyfriend already?â I asked âare you kidding me, itâs me Kelvin and am hundred percent sure that that girl has never had her first k-ssâ he said âok, what if she has a boyfriend?â I asked again âI will back offâ he said âok lets go I will ask her firstâ I replied âthat’s my dudeâ he shouted hugging me and suffocation me from air âKelvin that ok you idiotâ I said as I pushed him away with force, he gave me a big smile while he drove off in his car.

Deborah leaving has been somehow difficult for me; I am the only one doing everything. Mumâs shower, food and checkups at the hospital. Its really affecting my lectures also, I planned on talking to my dad about getting me a personal uber.
Waiting for taxi every day is getting me so late,plus mumâs care. I brought my mom for checkup, Deborah should have been the one to do this but what can I do, we left the hospital while I pushed my mum slowly to the cab waiting for us,
The driver helped me to get her from her wheelchair to the car and then we took off.
When we got home, the first thing I did was to take my mum to her room, my dad wasnât home yet, so I put my mum to bed, switched on her tv âmum am going to make us dinnerâ I told her before going out of her room. I quickly made dinner for the both of us cos my dad warned me never to make him food and I dare not do it again. Within an hour, I was done with the food so I took my mumâs share to her room to feed her. As I was feeding her, I heard my dadâs car coming into the compound and I needed to tell him that I need a private uber and I hope he doesnât take it the wrong way cos I really need it so much and I have much work to do.
After feeding my mom, I took the tray out to the kitchen, did the dishes then I went to the bedroom to talk with him.
He was on call so I had to wait till he was done âwhat do you want?â he asked without looking at me âiâŚiâŚâŚI want to discuss something with youâ I said while my voice was shaking badlyâ “answer me and tell me what you want to say, you know I donât have time for this rubbish, so if you have anything to say open you stupid mouth and say it outâ he fired back. Honestly I donât want to say anything again because he already discourage me with the way he spoke right now, I already have the feeling that he is going to reject my request. I took the last courage in me to speak up â I need a private uberâ I quickly said it âyou want what?â he asked, and am sure he heard me, he just wants me to repeat myself âsince am the only one doing everything, I get late for school because of mum, waiting for taxi is always taking my time, I want you to help me get a private uber or private taxiâ I rushed myself again âdonât you give a deep thought before coming to me, do you think I will be answering your request every time, who do you think you areâ he said angrily raising up his voice gradually âbut it wasnât convenient for me, since you sent Deborah away, taking care of mum is not easy for meâ I said slowly âthen ignore herâ he said âwhat!?â I asked âignore her, its not as if she is important, Ignore her and let her rot in that roomâ I stared at him with so much hatred written on me, how could he say such, even if he doesnât love her anymore, she gave him a daughter, aside that as a human being he shouldnât say this, didn’t he have any conscience at all âDad how could you say thatâ I asked him âwas I lying, answer me am I lying, she is not important, So also you too,and that is why no one is going to love you both. If you want to leave my house, please do so that I can have peace of mind, feeding you and that imbecile for 22years is really not easy, and if you ever talk of something like that again, Iâll slap that mouth of yours. Its either you choose your studies or that imbecile woman you call your mother its up to youâ he said and walked straight to his room.
I stood there as tears rolled down my cheek. He just said it again â no ones gonna love meâ he never stop saying it to me, he never stops telling me that I cant be loved, maybe he is right. I sat on the sofa with my palms on my cheek; I cried bitterly. Those words hurts, Yes they really hurtsâŚ.

Am in my room alone, I sat on the bed staring at Nadiaâs number, I really want her to talk to her friends, they need to stay away from Audrey, I told Tina to send me a picture of both her and Audrey, I sent it to Nadia but I had to cut Tina from it. I asked for Audreyâs picture already but Tina told me she doesnât like taking pictures unless the ones she forced her to do with her.
The moment I sent Nadia Audreyâs picture, I called her immediately, she picked it up at once âwhats the meaning of the picture you sent me?â she asked âI just want you to know that your friends are crossing the line, tell them to stay away from Audrey, we both promised not to disturb each other or cross path again, we promised not to touch each otherâs things or people and I think your friends are crossing the line, so please kindly talk to themâ âokâ was the only thing I heard before she hung up the call and I hope she reflect on it, but still I really want to talk to Audrey, I donât mind sharing five minutes with her but its very obvious that she doesnât get along with people but I just hope that we get a chance to talkâŚ

Suzzan and her friends sat in the spa discussing, suddenly Nadia walked in angrily, she looked around the spa looking for her friend Suzzan, the moment she caught sight of her she walked towards her, Suzzzan saw her coming to her âMy frienâŚâ she didnât even finish her word as Nadia landed a slap on her face â Nadia!, what was that forâ Suzzan asked surprisingly as everyone stared at them.
â I told you to leave Prince alone, how dare you go after that girl, I told you severally as many times as I can, I told you not to bother me about him, we broke up a long time ago, whats your problem Suzzan, am warning you, if you repeat this again I promise to break our friendshÂĄp!â Nadia said angrily while Suzzan was unable to say anything as she watched Nadia walked away angrilyâŚ
