My Heart

My life had never being the same after my father left the house, I heard muffled noises in my mother's room every night. I didn't know if I didn't give her the needed love she expected. Going out of the house had become a problem because I didn't want her to be alone in the house. My friends had said, I had become non approachable but I knew it wasn't my fault, I didn't want them to know my pain and get affected by it. They deserved absolute happiness and with me there they couldn't.

I had limited my self to my studies and as I laid in bed thinking about what I had being taught in school, I heard my phone ringing.

“Whoever it is, I am not going out. ” I muttered to myself and took my phone to see that it was actually Lucky my friend calling.

‘You better have something very important to tell me for disrupting my studies. ’ I thought.

“Hi, Lucky how do you do?” I greeted.

“How do you do?” he responded.

“This time you are calling me, what's the problem? We just ended class together, I hope there's no problem?” I inquired.

“No, there's no big problem, but I would like you to come to my house and please help me solve my homework assignment. ” he pleaded.

“Why you!! You know I don't come out of my house after school so why are you asking me to come? I won't so if you can, you can come. ” I proposed.

“I knew you were going to say that, so what if there's something in for you? Hun, hun? You would like that, wouldn't you?” he joked.

Whatever that's in for me, you are the one that is asking for help and not me. ” I retorted.

“Yes I know, but what if it's your crush you get to see? Hun?” Lucky laughed.

‘What I get to see Sheila? The love of my life? But how? She's just like me, she wouldn't come out of her house after class. Except that I only get to see her in her garden on weekends. ’ I thought.

“Where will I see her? In the garden?” I asked.

“Of course not, she is coming to mg house as we speak with Lydia, so it's your choice to make, whether you will come or not. I am hanging up see you later or not. ” Lucky suggested.

Before I could ask or say anything, he hanged up on me. I laid on the bed contemplating on what to do. A few minutes later and I got up hurriedly and went to my mother's room. I knocked on the door and she asked me to come in, I rushed and sat beside her on the bed and held her hands.

“Mom, I will go out now but I will be back very soon okay?” I asked.

“Why are you in the house in the first place? Don't you have anywhere to go? I see that you have not been going out these days is everything alright? Please if this is about me, then you are worrying your head about nothing. You can go out. ” She agreed.

“Okay, mom I promise I will be back before you know it. ” I promised.

“Take your time dear, I will be fine. ” She allowed.

I rushed out of the house with my bike and in five minutes I was there. I rung the bell of the house and in no time he came to open the door then he smirked and said,

“You are here early, she has not even come. ”

“That was the plan, I didn't want her to know that I came because of her. ” I pointed out.

“Smartass come in. ” Lucky cheered.

We got into the hall, and a few seconds later, we heard the bell ringing. I prepared myself to meet her because I had not met her that close, I always watched her from far away. Lucky opened the door to only revealed Lydia only at the door. I looked behind her and yet there was no one so I got up angrily and made my way out of the room because I thought he had deceived me. I walked a few steps away from him and turned back and glared at him. I looked back but suddenly I heard a voice and a slight pain on my chest.

Ouch!! That hurts!!

I hurriedly reached out to help her up and she looked up to hold on to my hands, I saw her eyes then my heart...
