Without a word to any of them in the room, I left the house and clicked open my car, then I got in and zoomed off. I went back to my house, and at that moment, I decided I wasn't going to go close to that place called home until it was a week after.Instead of that, I heard a knock on my door and I got up to go and get the door, I was surprised that I didn't hear any sound coming from the gate, at that moment, my heart started beating because I always read about serial killers and how they operated.As I opened the door, I saw my mom standing outside the door with a bag. "What are you doing here Mom?" I asked."Are you just going to stand there? Come here and take these bags from me!" She said, and stepped in but instead of helping her get her bags I went to take my sit and picked up the popcorn which I was chewing.My mom's eye met mine with shock then she looked at her bags which she left on the floor and back at me, " You don't want to help me? What is wrong?" She asked in a calm v
"There's no need to answer Aiden. He is just a confused man who doesn't know what he wants." I mumbled and dropped my phone aside.Three hours later, as I was busy watching TV, I heard my phone ring and immediately I opened it, it was Elias calling. "Why should he be calling me?" I sneered and dropped the phone beside me. The phone rang again but I looked at it and removed my eyes. Messages started dropping disturbing my peace," WHY ARE YOU NOT RESPONDING? DO YOU KNOW SOMETHING URGENT HAS JUST HAPPENED?" I hissed as I read the last line, "LET THAT SOMETHING URGENT GO TO HELL THEN CAUSE I DON'T CARE!" I sent back the message to Elias."DO YOU KNOW THE DEPTH OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID? YOUR MOM IS IN THE HOSPITAL AND WAS INVOLVED IN A GHASTLY ACCIDENT. RIGHT NOW SHE IS NOT BREATHING!" My heart skipped a beat, "Hope this better is not true oh no!" My hands began to shake. "WHAT HOSPITAL IS SHE AT LET ME COME THERE," I replied."NO, YOU WON'T KNOW THE PLACE, COME HOME FIRST, WE'LL DRIVE YOU
My eyes started sweating as I walked out of the house, "They keep playing with me!" I muttered angrily, tightening my fist as I walked out of the house. I grabbed the hands of the car, got in, and slammed the door. I ignited the car and zoomed off.With my head hitting the pedal and brakes, I dodged vehicles as I drove. Within forty minutes, I arrived home. Coming out of the car, I slammed it and went straight into my room as I got in.While I lay in bed, my eyes welled up with tears. I slept off.Three weeks later, I got a phone call from my mom. I had already blocked her since the day she pranked me and I forgot to unblock her, same with Elias and Aiden. I had just unblocked her earlier in the morning and she was calling already."Mtcheew! Y'all can go to hell, I ain't gonna pick up that call! And I don't want nobody showing up at my door looking all drained trying to gaslight me and mess with my feelings!" I screamed as I watched the phone ring."Maybe I should just block her again
In the car with Roland, as he drove and the heavy music blasted I leaned my head on the window, lost in thoughts. I felt like I was slowly drifting away from my mom."Hey baby, what do you wanna do? Go shopping first or go to bed eat?" Roland asked, tapping the steering while waiting for the traffic light to turn green."Um...I think let's go shopping first," I replied and he winked at me, "Okay bay," he hit the pedal and zoomed away. We arrived at the shopping mall where I was given his card to use and I got everything that I liked and wanted.After the shopping Spree, we went to get something to eat and then we returned home. On getting out of the mall, Roland decided that I come over to his place and that I agreedAs we got to his house, he decided to take his baths first. As he got into the bathroom, his phone pinged and I picked it up, it was a message and the headline caught me.Luckily his phone wasn't locked and I decided to invade his privacy, my mouth widened in shock as I r
"And what do you mean by holidays?" My mom let out, huffing and folding her arms as she watched me. It seemed like she was deeply surprised. "You guys don't want me here or what? Look I'll just go over to my room and enough of these questions!" Mom and Aiden looked at themselves in surprise as I walked past them. I went back upstairs to my room, as I dropped my small purse on the table a thought entered my head."That's true!" I let out. I picked up my phone to check my account balance. "Would this money be enough for rent or maybe I should just buy it?" I wondered as I stared at the two million dollars sitting prettily in my bank account.I thought about getting myself a house and moving out fully. My phone flashed again, "SIXTEEN MISSED CALLS FROM ROLAND." "Does he want to kill me for goodness sake? If you call twice and there's no response isn't that enough to not call again? But here he is acting like he really cares!" I angrily said.Who in the world said don't search your par
Throughout that day, I never left my room. While Roland called severally but I didn't pick up his call. The following day, I woke up around ten o'clock. I went into the bathroom and quickly took a shower. On coming out of the bathroom, my phone rang and I opened it to check who it was it was Aiden. "What does he want?"I dropped the phone down and he called again, "Hello, Roland!" I said on the phone. "Hello honey, why haven't you been picking up my call? You just left like into the thin air without saying a word. How far was that?"I sighed and kept mute, "Hello, are you there?" he asked and I coughed. "What is wrong baby girl? Are you okay? Is everything okay with you or do I come and pick you up?" He asked and I replied."I am okay, I am at my mother's place. By the way, I am sick and tired of this relationship!" I said. "Why? Is there anything I have done to offend you or have I not been spending enough? Tell me the problem or I come pick you up now?" He replied on the phone and
Two weeks had passed by since my mom last came home. She stayed at the hospital, walking day and night while I stayed at home with Elias and Aiden. I was always in my room, with the door shut and blasting some music through my ears, reading and sleeping.The only time I went out was whenever I wanted to get food. Elias on the other hand, stayed in his room always too while Aiden remained the balcony man. Throughout my stay there, I made sure I limited anything that would lead to an unnecessary conversation, especially with Aiden.One day, I decided to step out of my cave and I went to the living room and sat, switched on the TV. Like a monitoring spirit, Aiden came downstairs and walked quietly, and sat down.My blood boiled, not because he came and sat in the living room but because he sat next to me. "I don't think you should still be here," Aiden let out.I looked away from the screen to his face, my mute remained mute as I returned to watching the TV. "Why are you still here?" Aid
"What are you doing Dad?" Elias asked, "I mean, I am sorry to bump into you but it's urgent and I need you right now!" "Please come now!" Hurriedly I jumped from the bed at the sound of his voice, I was worried, "What's the problem?" I asked and went behind him while he rushed and I followed him hurriedly as he didn't answer me.I had just fear, it shouldn't be."It's Becky!" his voice rang and he ran to Becky's room while I followed with haste. My heart thumped with fear, "What could be wrong?" Opening her door, I saw Becky sprawled on the floor helplessly with her eyes open. My heart shook with fear as I saw her helpless body on the floor. "Quickly, you know how to drive right? Go and start the car while I bring her now!" I commanded, lifting Becky into my arms.With a nod, Elias ran out and came back, "Where's the key?" "Check on top of the table in my room! Oh see hers here, pick it," I said as my eyes met the key on Becky's table.Swooping her off the floor, I carried her in
