"You are under arrest for the---"
She did not let the detective finish, she interrupted
"What? What are they talking about? I didn't do anything" she defended. I noticed she was trembling inside. I stood aside to observe the scene.
"I'm sorry ma'am. We have the footage of the day Mister Walter was stabbed. You were found around the premises. May I know what was your business there?" the male detective asked bolding.
"Well.. Well it's a social gathering, isn't it? Do I have to explain why I was in a recreational center at a particular time or date having fun?" she arrogantly said.
"Yes, I called her after I sent for an ambulance. She must have arrived late" I defended.
"Stay out of this Emily.. " Selena whispered with jammed teeth.
"Oh, you think so? Your friend was there at exactly 46minutes at your arrival.
"Good evening Ma'am" I greeted the nurse at the hospital reception to get her attention."Good evening. Do you need anything?" she responded."No. I mean yes ma'am. I'm looking for a patient by name Nathan. Leslie Nathan. He's tall, slender... He's got thick eyebrows, full lips, high cheek bone---""I get it" she cut me off. "...Nathan isn't missing okay? I know the patient you describe. Of what relation do you have with him?" she asked."I.. Uh.. I..." I was thinking of what to say."We are his cousins. My niece Sandra, told us he has been here for five years. I'm sorry we are just paying a visit. My sister and I just entered town this week" Jeremy took over."Oh, poor thing. He's slow to his medicine. I just wish the girl that caused this to happen to him come see him soon if she has a conscience" the nurse showed sympathy.&n
Du-dum.... du-dum.... my heart skipped a beat as the detective banged her fist on the desk. "Answer me!" she yelled. I quickly stretched my neck to see what was going on inside the interrogation room through the transparent glass shield. I could feel Amanda's heart racing. With a teary eye, her pupils dilate. "I don't know" she said in a hoarse voice.I hallucinated for a while.The walls of the interrogation room was provided with high degree of sound proof. The doors were windowless and flush metal with solid core. I could only imagine what Amanda was going through in there. I wailed inside of me "Get me outta here". I don't want to be here... I muttered.Candice looked at me, with a quick glance, she handed me a tissue. I drew myself up, looking at her scornfully, I said "Fuck off bitch".&n
Brrrrt..... Brrrrrrrt.....My eyelids flickered, and my fingers scratching on my neck as I moved my tongue in my mouth to feel my taste buds. I glimpsed a figure standing in front of me as the phone vibrates in his back pocket. Then I blinked twice to clear my blurry vision. The young man shoved his hand in his back pocket, stared at his phone in a jiffy and swiped to receive call. "yes, yes... Okay" he answered expressing consent then he hung up the phone.I turned wittingly to check if Candice was still here. Poor girl was already meditating with her eyelids twitching as tears swam down one cheek. We were unprepared for the apparition that confronted us.As I observed all activities for a while, my mind exerts a phantasmagoric pull. I noticed an officer struggling with the touch pad mouse. The effect was an oneiric blend on his computer screen that moved me to Alvin a
It was a Sunday morning. I heard a loud knock on the door. My eyes slowly fluttered open. I started to wriggle and stretch with my cozy, haven that is my bed. As parts of my body were gradually turning on. I glanced at the wall clock which says 7:05am. Getting out of bed, walking slowly towards the door and rubbing the sleep out of my eyes, I twisted the door knob and pulled it. It was my crazy sister. She had just start to get on my nerve this early morning."mommy said you should get ready for church if you don't want the devil to use you this morning" she frowns.Sigh.. I shot the door against her. I went into the bathroom naked with a MP player to take my bath. I played loud RnB music alongside doing a concert with my toothbrush as the microphone. I thought I heard my name. Promptly, I tuned down the volume and did not hear anything. Oh well.. I increased the volume again dancing and singing along with my toot
I got home from church. The thick, burnt smell of fried chicken tickled the tip of my nose just seconds after my tummy rumbled. I pressed my hand on my stomach to calm the boys fighting inside. All the gnawing pangs of hunger returned tenfold. Food was the only disc playing in my mind. Without settling first in my room, I dashed into the kitchen and dished out a plate of jellof rice from the pot. I rushed my food and cracked the chicken bones, not pardoning a piece.After doing the dishes, I went to my room to change my outfit to a casual wear. I opened the door, letting out a moan in astonishment "Oh no.. ". It was messy. I frowned as I grumpily picked up every cloth on my bed and folded it back into my box.Finally my room was tidy. I got bored and took a quick stroll around the neighborhood.I live with my family in a 90-square-meter spacious, four- bedroom apartment with a fascinating view of a rose
"Miss, come with us" a police officer tapped me on my shoulder.I got up from the chair with zero courage. As I walked to the interrogation room with two police officers escorting me, I bumped into Amanda and we made eye contact. I saw hatred written in her eyes. Nevertheless, I ignored and entered the interrogation room seated with two detectives, a mid-aged female and a gentleman in his late 50's.It was a small room with only three chairs, two for the detectives and I guess the other is for me. A recorder, an handcuff and an empty glass turned upside-down on a saucer is on the desk. There is a water dispenser at the corner of the room. I noticed a one-way mirror with nothing on the walls. I cannot see outside through the mirror but when I was seated outside, I could see Amanda inside with the detectives and some other police officers standing at the glass shield, observing the process from outside
"We talked for a while online, got familiar with each other. He mentioned he was in college already but home because it was spring break. We went on dates occasionally. He's a nice guy and sends me flowers everyday. He had promised to do that if I accept his proposal."Hmm.... Interesting" the female detective said as she relaxed her back on her chair, showing interest.One day, he called me over to his place. I had to plan my outfit overnight. It wasn't easy because I was indecisive and my sister, Selena wasn't around to help. She was in a Junior High boarding school. I had to choose between that black lace dress or a casual top and boyfriend jean.Well I didn't have to look super hot for him. Don't want him to think I'm desperate. Besides we gonna spend all day indoor, cuddling, eating snacks, playing video game. What more? I just had to go for a casual loo
After some time, everything felt normal again. We still go for our tutorial classes as usual. But of late, Nathan had stopped calling me. When I call him, he misses my calls and won't return it. I have complained to his sister on several occasions about his nonchalant behavior. He calls Sandra and his parents but doesn't call me. He comes online once in a while to update his profile and post pictures of him with school mates. I wonder why he leaves my text messages on read. When I managed to get to him, he gives excuses like he's been busy or having a rough time in school. It was as if our relationship wasn't a priority anymore.I was in class resting my head on my desk because I was feeling sober and lonely. I used my pen to write randomly on the back page of my notebook. The thought of Nathan could not escape my mind.Sandra and Precious wasn't as close as they used to be. After that incident at Sandra's house, it was as if the
"Good evening Ma'am" I greeted the nurse at the hospital reception to get her attention."Good evening. Do you need anything?" she responded."No. I mean yes ma'am.

I stood aside to observe the scene."I'm sorry ma'am. We have the footage of the day Mister Walter was stabbed. You were found around the premises. May I know what was your business there?" the male detective asked bolding."Well.. Well it's a social gathering, isn't it? Do I have to explain why I was in a recreational center at a particular time or date having fun?" she arrogantly said."Yes, I called her after I sent for an ambulance.

"Fuck!" I kicked my bed hard, letting out rage and fraustration. No matter how I tried to hurt myself, it doesn't measure up to the pain I'm feeling inside of me. A shape pain that pierce rapidly through my mind, heart and soul. Aimless wandering with no destination, I was existing but not living. Detached, Confused, Speechless, Overwhelming emptiness and sadness, all I am was Lost, lonely, without purpose. Ah! It was overwhelming. My pain wanted to come out in such a rush, it was like the opening of my voice was not big enough. "Fuck!!!" I bewailed.My heart hurt and I could hear my heat beat in my head. I didn’t think it was a real thing, but when I felt it, I knew. I couldn’t eat much. My sleep was off. I felt like an outsider to the world, like I was looking through a prism that blurred what was on the other side.I broke into a sweat. My heart pounded, and my hand began to feel clammy against my bouncing knee. I began
Every moment counts with my bunny. He has learned to eat sea foods and do stuffs I enjoy doing. We share the same hobbies. I even learnt to gamble through him. To me, his bad habits became my favorite habits. I love and adore him to the extent I don't see his flaws. From his arrogant behavior to his kind and gentle soul, he was my Mr perfect. I just can't imagine what my life would be like if he leaves this world, God forbid! My all, my one and only, the one true man for me... My bestie, my friend, my lover, the special one I want to spend forever with, you've all I've got right now. Please stay alive for me. Tears crept out of one eye and I quickly wiped it off with my hand, sniffing in quietly, so other passengers wouldn't notice in the cab.Journeying to the hospital, my head ached even more as he pondered in my thoughts."What is she doing here?" Debby said to Mrs Walter.I stood from a distance, af
I entered my house with Jeremy to see my mother wailing on the floor and Selena trying to calm her down. She was lamenting bitterly, almost going naked as her wrapper loosed from her waist. Thank Goodness, she tied two. "It's okay mom, Emily is here already" She said, holding mom firmly, as she struggled to pat the back of our mother and tries to catch each drop of tears that swam down her cheeks.Mom paused as she recognized my presence. She wiped her nose with her wrapper. "What have I done to you, my child. Answer me!" she scolded."Who told them the news?" I whispered to Jerry with jammed teeth as we were standing beside each other at the moment."I did. I was worried something bad happened so I told them. Mom has not been at peace ever since" he boldly whispered back and left my side."Mom, Mommy I can explain ev-everything to you. It's not wh-what i
I got to his hotel room. I stood at the door for a moment, staring at the door with room number '306' as if unsure if I was at the right door. My lips were pursed and my palm sweating. I became anxious of the fact that he might be with a girl in there, having good sex. What if I knock on this door and a lady comes out with a towel wrapped around her.Scenarios played in my head, causing me to swallow saliva countless times. I was trembling and my hands shaking. It felt so numb, I couldn't lift it up to the door. I gulped then summoned courage to knocked on the door."Who is it?" he asked."Who else would it be?" I responded.He opened the door and looked at me with a straight face "What took you so long? Oh please don't tell me it was traffic because you ought to be here 30 minutes ago".I stepped one feet inside the room and my eyes secretly scanned through the
"So you see detective, it was my idea to be at Destiny's Spotlight with 'my boo' after our last paper. I don't know how Candice and Amanda showed up there." I said as I leaned forward with both hands on the desk, looking directly at the female detective."Perhaps you told someone you will be there? A friend? Someone you know...?" she asked, giving a frightful stare with her eyes narrowed and her scanty eyebrows pointing to each other."No, maybe yes. I told my parents home is pretty a distraction for me, therefore I'd be in school after my exams to study more. They bought that. Like a normal girls talk, my roommates and i discussed our plans for final year and what we would be doing during the summer. Amie said she'd be spending the holiday with her grandma. Sandra told us she'd be going home. And I said I'd be having a good time with my baby boo in Destiny's Spotlight. So.. I don't think Amanda or Candice is anybody in my life for me to conve
"If not for Candice flirtatious advances, they would not have shared contact in the first place". I made a low guttural sound.He offered her a ride. And returned late to my hostel with pizza. I rejected the packages he came with because I was mad at him. I did not want to give the reason for my action until he pressured me to talk."Why are you showing up here by this time?" I frowned."I got really busy, sorry about that. Is that why you should be pissed off babe?" he pinched my cheek in a flirtatious manner."ouch! Stop it. I'm angry right now and there is nothing you can do to cheer me up" I clarified, making a straight face with my chin up as I folded my arms and looked away."I know every way to make my kitten happy. Close your eyes Bae, I got you something you'd like" H
"Miss Benson, how was your sex life with Jason Walter. Did he like the fact that you do not want to have sex with him yet? Or did you do it with him and he wasn't satisfied? I'm wondering why he cheated on you with Amanda and Candice" The female detective asked.I sighed in distress pondering if I actually gave him a reason to do the things he did. "Actually ma'am, I don't know. I honestly do not know what I did wrong to deserve an unfair treatment. We were just fine with the foreplays. I always ensured he cums since I was scared of the pain his 'ting' would cause my vagina. Damn! Have you seen how enormous it is? I can't imagine that in me".The female detective bit her lips as I kept talking "Our foreplay was amazing, I had the best feeling with him more than any other person I've been with. I loved the things he do to me in bed and I also tried to reciprocate, leaving him satisfied at the end. The
