When Hana finally told me that we could visit Jade, I released a breath I did not know I had been holding since the last time I saw her.
She was unconscious and her brother had carried her.
I was nervous climbing the stairs to where her room was. I could literally hear my heart beat faster and faster.
'You guys should wait here. Let me check if she is awake'
Hana said and entered her room. I heard voices in the room but couldn't make out what they were saying. Then, the door opened again and Hana gestured for us to enter.
My heart picked up race again.
Calm down buddy. Just calm down.
The guys entered and I followed them.
She was sitting up on her bed, her knees drawn to her chest. She looked up briefly when we entered and smiled tightly at us.

~Uthman~I never knew I could have jamb tension. I thought I was better than that but walking into the hall where I did my jamb proved me otherwise. Two days later, If I thought what I felt walking into that hall was tension, then checking my result must be a panic attack.I thought this has to the with the jamb syndrome fear that has been passed down from generation to generation.

~Uthman~When the driver drove in, I saw our extended families coming out of the main house.My first reaction was panic because seeing them like that reminded me of when mom died.I calmed down immediately afterwards, believing nothing tragic had happened. I got down on from the car and took them in, one by one. They were mostly from my dad's family and then mom's too. They must have just finished one of the numerous meetings.They've done so many meetings and it has yielded no positive result. They might as well end the marriage. Completely.Are you really sure about that? Can

~Uthman~I swallowed at our close proximity. I shouldn't have hugged her.So, you should have just stood there and watched her nearly have a panic attack?I patted her back, smelling her shampoo, her long hair tickled my ears as I started to move back.Jade grabbed my shirt, stopping me from moving away.I stopped.I looked down at where she grabbed my shirt before looking up at her again. Her eyes were still glassy. Glassy from crying.Now, it looks like the sexy kinda glassy.O beere? What are you thinking about?'Jadeshola, we should......'

~Jade~I was walking with my back, all the while waving at Isreal when I bumped into someone. The drink the person was holding feel on the ground and it spilled on our bodies. I instinctively bent down to pick the cup and the keys that fell with it.'I'm sorry. I wasn't looking at where I was going.'I stood up and handed the key to him. His hands brushed against mine and it lingered there for a moment. I met his eyes, about to tell him off and I froze.He winked at me, smiled and gave me a mock salute before walking off.I had an instant flashback and I instinctively moved back.I did not know how long I stood there. I was too immobile to do anything. It was only when two girls bumped into me that I regained my composure and started to walk back
