Trying to open her eyes, but she felt the Sunray perfectly directed at her eyes. She adjusted her body and tried to stand up. Everything seemed blurred to her and she almost lost her balance.

"Where am I?" She questioned herself. She could see a perfectly dug grave in front of her with no coffin inside or name on it like it was been prepared for someone. Still confused, she looked around and saw no one except different graves with names on them. She still couldn't understand what she was doing there or how she got there. She could remember last night, she and Justin, her boyfriend, were out having fun then.

"Oh, that bastard" she just remembered they had an issue last night but still couldn't fathom how she got to the cemetery.

"You know you shouldn't be speaking to him after everything I told you" Justin grabbed her arm making her squirm in pain

"Why are you so insecure?"

"Why would I be insecure about someone like you?"

She stopped abruptly, "what do you mean by that?"

"Uhh?" Pretending not to hear her.

"What do you mean by that Justin," she asked again with her voice breaking.

Justin walked up to her trying to hold her "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way"

She knew she had a problem, she was a Nymphomaniac. She just couldn't control her sexual urges and desire. She was known as the popular bad girl in college but still, Justin managed to know how to deal with her issues.

"Can you please leave me alone" she went right back into the bar Justin was trying to have them leave.

"Babe!" Justin screamed but it all fell on deaf eyes. He didn't want to bother or force the issue. He got into his car and left for his place. Justin was everything a lady would want and the bad thing about that was that he knew it himself. Therefore leaving him with this pompous attitude, he had a perfectly built body, had rich parents, and was a popular musician in college. Everyone wanted him and he knew it.

"One more shot!" She instructed the waiter. She couldn't believe he'd say something like that to her after what they had been through.

"Can I join you?"

A man with a black hat and dark shades, which made it hard for anyone to capture his facial looks. But his arms were perfect, at least she thought that.

" Please go away"

The stranger sat and Adjusted his body close to her, " come on, you look like you'll need the company"

"What do you want"

"Jus. Just to be your friend"

She chuckled and turned straight to look at him. She leaned forward, taking his hands and slowly rubbing them in between her thighs, beneath her skirt. She could see the shock in his eyes and she liked that. Seeing him struggle to keep his composure as she continuously drove his hands deeper inside her.

"You want that, huh" she murmured.

"Umm no, not really "

The man withdrew his hands back, she laughed and continued drinking. The stranger still hung around trying to engage her with conversations that she found boring but he still wouldn't leave after she dismissed him.

People were leaving the bar already and it was getting late, she couldn't even see properly or walk well.

"I'll drive you home if you don't mind"

"And why will you do that?" She laughed, hitting him on his chest softly, " you don't even know me"

She was drunk, finding it hard to keep her balance but the stranger had to support her while walking out of the bar

"Where do you stay?"

That was all she could remember after waking up at the cemetery.

"Help" she screamed, not scared but she needed to leave here as soon as possible. The fact that she woke up at a cemetery worried her. She thought of her phone and quickly ran to where she woke up but couldn't find it. While searching for her phone, she noticed that what she thought to be a grave when she woke up was an endless pit, she couldn't see the end but just darkness through. She shouted but it just came back echoing.

"Well that's not creepy"

She tried looking for a way out of the cemetery but couldn't find one. How could a Cemetery not have a gate she wondered. So how did she get here?

All these questions with no answers, she decided to kill time by moving around from grave to grave reading the names of people who died and mocking those who didn't live a long life.

"How could he die so early, I wondered if it was his crazy ex who did that to him" she laughed after coming across a 21-year-old's grave.

Death wasn't a stranger to her after all, she lost her father as a Kid. Her mother never gave her the attention she needed. She cried night, after night, needing someone to comfort her, mostly a father figure. She didn't get that and that's what led to her being involved in drugs and sex at an early age. All she wanted was to kill the pains she felt.

Before she turned 12, her mother died. She didn't even shed a tear for her. Attended her funeral with a cigar and chewed gum while she was buried. People wondered why she was that way but she couldn't care less.

"You are at your mum's funeral" her mother's younger sister came unto her " spit that out now!"

She reluctantly spits it out while rolling her eyes.

"And you are coming with me after all this is over"

"I don't want to"

"Who says you have a choice?"

She was taken in by her aunt, not something she wanted but she was hoping she would be free after her mum's early passing. She thought right, she was still free. Her aunt comes home late and leaves for work before she wakes up. She had every freedom she ever wanted and growing up she never really stuck with one boy Except for Justin. He made her feel loved even with how she was.

She was getting tired of the time being slow and being stuck at a place she couldn't find a way out of the cemetery with its high walls. She suddenly heard the sound of the gate fling wide open. She stood up and turned to see where it was coming from but nothing. She couldn't see anything. All she saw was a Boy running into the cemetery,

"Who's that?" She whispered to herself.

    Austin rang the bell on Nala's door hoping to see her get the door so he'd apologize. "Oh, Good day Mr. Ben" The look on his face showed he was surprised to see Nala's dad home. He thought he wasn't going to be home until Christmas. Her father was a contractor and he was never home. He was always moving to different countries trying to close deals for his firm so he barely had time to come home." Austin!" Mr. Ben ushered out his arms to squeeze him for a hug. "Come in, Nala's upstairs."He came in and made sure to greet Mrs. Ben, who was busy in the kitchen. Their house was everything perfect to him, the decorations, the lights, and most importantly the fact they were still together. That was everything he dreamt of.

Whenever he screams "help" his voice comes running back to him.Confused and not knowing what to do, Tasha was just in his arms, as he sat on the ground, downcast.He suddenly felt her moving with her eyes opening gradually "Tasha!" He shook her aggressively as if he wanted her to be up quickly"What happened," Tasha asked, as she held her head and gradually sat up,then squinted her eyes. She could feel her head banging like a music concert was being held there. She couldn't see clearly, the tree and even Austin's perfectly dark skinned toned face and fairly shaped brows were all blurred. She felt like she was stunned by an aggressive hit from a fist or something harder."You passed out as we came out of the cemetery"She looked back and saw the average iron gate of the cemetery, it was silver in color and the

    "You can't be serious!" Austin's Father fumed as he barged into his room. "Get up from there now"Austin used the pillow to cover his head to prevent himself from hearing his father's voice. He felt his father aggressively grab the pillow from him"What is it this time?" Austin reluctantly asked his father with his eyes still shut."I said, get up!"He slowly stood up and sat at the edge of the bed."I know your mother's death has been tough on you""Oh please dad" He interrupted his father immediately, standing up to leave, but his father grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back to the bed."Listen to me! I have condoned your disrespect and every other thing, but so help me God this continues. I'll…""You would what?" He stood up immediately facing his dad with no space left between them. His father was dark as night, his beard rough and hair scattered like he had no time for himself."What would you do that you haven't done before Dad?" His father held his fist and sighed slowly

    Tasha found the streets of Boston to be quiet or was It Austin who stayed in the Rural area of Boston? She thought to question him when he got back. Back in Brooklyn, she was used to fast-moving trains, Cars always honking and Roadside singers blazing with their instruments trying to make money. What a place of fun, she thought. She couldn't wait for Austin to get back so she could go home, she anticipated it like it was Christmas. She wasn't used to staying away from school, her friends, and Justin. She walked around, waving to people around but no one acted as if they saw her."Are they this rude" she muttered in silence and concluded she wasn't going to try to greet anyone again. She walked until she got to Austin's house and sat across the road, waiting for him patiently. A car pulled up in front of her and a dark-looking, tall boy with braids made with his natural hair and with a side cut came out carrying some luggage. She wondered who that was. He came down, carried his luggag

    The sun was out and Austin still laid on the bed with him staring at the ceiling. His mind wanders off, trying to search for answers but none are forthcoming. He couldn't close his eyes last night, even for a second. When he tried to do so, he found the image of Tasha staring at him and he couldn't get that image off his mind. To make things worse, it was her naked. He felt disgusted that he found her attractive and at some point, all he wanted after seeing her naked was to have her beneath him, moving to his rhythm and her sinking in pleasure while she moaned his name. Her sweat rubbing off on his skin and watching her crave for more. He hated himself; he wanted that so much. Why can he see her and others can't, he kept on questioning himself. His door flew open and Allen walked in seeing him lost in his thoughts."Now, what is it this time?" he flew onto the bed."Could you at least knock?" Austin rolled his eyes, turning his back against his brother and facing the wall. Allen held

    Austin kept running, stumbling and looking back. Repeating this over and over again, anytime he looked back, he saw her still fuming and coming at him. At that point he couldn't think of what she'd do to him, all he thought of was to get away from her. How could he have forgotten about the plans he made with her. He slapped himself, like he was trying to punish himself for forgetting. He ran into the school hallway, it was the shortest route to leaving the school premises. But as he ran towards the Entrance, it looked like it got farther away. He was Panting and running, his legs were getting weak already, but he couldn't stop. He had no idea the school hallway was this long. He looked back this time and didn't see Tasha, but he kept running. "Yes" he said triumphantly, as he exhaled. He was about getting out of the school when he stepped on his show lace and sent himself flying on the ground. He laid there with his head facing the ceiling, his muscles weak and reluctant to carry him

    "You know I have training also tomorrow" he said to Nala, as he hurriedly pulled him towards the stadium. Austin found it difficult to cope in the class earlier that day, with Jade hammering on his case, not in a bad way but it was still frustrating for Austin."Come on, you have to tell me who she is" he kept Hampering on it, even after Austin told him he mentioned that name by mistake. Jade didn't buy it but had no option but to leave him alone after their teacher got into the class."So you and Jade, now best friends" Nala asked, eyeing Austin as he wore his kits."What makes you think so?" He arched his brow."Well" Nala started, "you guys smiling and discussing. It was almost as if you guys were friends for a long time""You guys smiling?" Austin questioned with his eyes wide open, Nala understood his message immediately."Well scratch that, but you get my point" she insisted."He was just on me about something..""What thing?"Austin swallowed hard, shocked by how fast she asked

    Her eyes were calm as the ocean banks would be at dawn, and he was drowning in them. Her hair flung back as the air pulled it along with it. Austin couldn't move not because he tried to but he didn't want to, she felt safe and he wanted to be there with her. The smile on her face, breaking more as she witnessed him lost in whatever fantasy he had going on and his eyes stuck on hers like a magnet."Are you thinking about me right now?"That question pulled Austin back into all consciousness and he pulled his hand away from hers, maybe a little too hard because he went sprawling on the floor."Are you okay?" She asked. Ausin couldn't sense any sarcasm or jest in her voice."I'm fine," he replied as he stood up, wiping the dirt off his shorts."You are bleeding" Tasha said quickly as she hurried towards him, but he swung his arm back as she attempted to hold him. He looked at his elbow and noticed blood sliding down his hands. Luckily for him, it wasn't something serious. "Let me take a

    "What in God's name happened here" Austin exclaimed.He had woken up that morning in high spirits, regardless of what happened between him and his brother. He smiled all through his journey to school, jumping and trying to touch branches of some trees along the way to school. His happiness was proudly sponsored by Nala and not following the bus was just an attempt not to see her till his training session with her again.All his happiness vanished as soon as he entered the class and noticed that his table was missing a leg."What happened here?" he repeated, directing his questions to his classmate who sat at the front roll. He shook his head indicating he didn't know what happened. His eyes searched the classroom and stopped on Jade who sat at the back with some of his friends laughing. The only reasonable thing he could think of was Jade messing with him again because of his brother. He marched towards him with every ounce of anger. He pounded his hands on Jade's table hard and that

    "Okay, listen" Tasha readjusted herself Infront of Austin, "I'm not dead""You are not what?" Austin said, confused with what she just said."I'm not dead" she repeated with a bright face, Austin sat there looking confused with what she was saying and couldn't understand why she was so happy about it."Is this why you've made it your life mission to ruin my life" Austin shrugged, "Just to tell me you weren't dead""I didn't make you my life mission," she scoffed."So what is it witch, I need to go to class."Tasha gasped, "you did not just call me a witch."

    He stood under the scorching sun, that was busy setting the grass ablaze. They were the only ones alone on the field, but he had no idea why she chose this time for them to come out."I still don't understand why you wanted us here by this time," Austin said, squinting and covering his eyes from the harsh rays of the sun. Nala kept herself busy setting up the cones he needed for his footwork. Austin sat there, smiling and he remembered asking her for help, but never expected her to be this serious with it. He stood up, attempting to clean off his body, and then realised there was nothing on his shorts."Hey nala" he shook her shoulders. She raised her head to look at him but quickly covered her eyes, "The sun right?"She wiped off the sweat dripping down her cheeks with her handkerchief, "why are you not wearing your boots" she queried Austin with a harsh tone.Austin smiled, and replied "chill chill, don't ""Don't what?

    Austin couldn't close his eyes throughout that night, after that happened. He sat at the edge of his bed, with his mopping stick held tightly to his chest, ready to smash Tasha's head into the wall. He automatically saw her as a threat to his life. Hearing her call his name, he flung his phone straight to the wall and went right under his bed. His breathing was uneven, and even with the air-conditioner on, he was sweating like someone who ran a marathon. Anywhere he looked, he could see Tasha's face. It was all dark, but he couldn't help seeing her face everywhere. He wasn't so sure about how he treated her, and now he regrets it."What happened to your eyes?" Mr Richard asked with concern, walking towards Austin who was making breakfast before leaving for school. He tried to cover his face but his father took away his hands and notice his swollen eyes and even cheeks."Allen!""Sir" Allen's voice echoed from the bedroom upstairs and soon the staircase Started making hard sounds, annou

    Just before Allen landed his well Arranged Punch on Austin, Nala stood in the way of both of them, stopping them with her hands stretched out and holding their chest. She could feel their heart pounding and the rage running through their veins. She knew this wasn't about her and they probably needed an excuse to let their tension out."You both are not going to use me as an avenue to sort out your issues" she screamed, having them pay attention to her. "Nala hey….""Do not talk to me" she shut Allen up even before he could complete his sentence. She went back to her seat, packed up her stuff and stormed out of there, leaving them behind."You are so lucky, she stood in between us" Allen pointed his hands at him"It's funny how you think you stand a chance against me" Tasha's eyes widened in surprise at the statement Austin made."What did you say to me?"
