A Better Kidney

Brenda cries that she is at fault while stopping Mum from chasing after me.

I sneer and walk straight without whipping my head back until I get to my bedroom. And I shut the door with a bang.

So much anger is swelling in my heart by the time I sink my bum into the chair in front of my dresser.

“Emily, you are special and deserving! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise!” I scream in front of my mirror and feel a tad bit better after.

My joy currently lies in the fact that I have secured my dream job and there will be nothing stopping me.

Maybe I should ask Stella about the possibility of getting an apartment rent-free from TRANSCORP? I think to myself.

But the possibility of Christopher one day finding out about the one-night stand and sacking me from my job bothers me because then, he will take back every single penny the company gave to me, including the car and the apartment I want.

When that happens, I will be homeless and left to return to this house with no other option
