I came down the stairs to go get I and my twin me some snacks to munch on. I have been having quite the butterflies in my stomach for these past few days.
We know where it is coming from.
I talked to Leo yesterday about the new level I and Chris had moved to and although I could see how hurt and defeated he looked when I told him but he did his best to smile and tell me how happy he is for me.
I honestly didn’t know what to feel the moment I saw that look on his face.
It felt like I should just break up with Chris and go to him instead but that can't be the case because I have said it numerous times and I do hope he understands me and not take this the wrong way.
I really wished he was the one but I prefer the fact that I don’t get to lead him on because I am trying to test my feelings for him and end up hurting him badly. If that happened I would lose my best friend and he would be more hurt than he is now.
It was better to keep
I told my parents about my and Chris's relationship the other day and dad took it pretty well… even he was elated to hear the news, while mum, on the other hand, didn’t see it appealing in any way.After much conviction and with a promise to bring him for a proper introduction and all, mum slightly agreed.It was a relief that they both agreed on it though, else I would have been so uncomfortable talking about him to them.We have been dating for a little over a week and it is going smooth, since it is still new, we are taking things slow and trying not to rush things up.He is very attentive and caring. He pays attention to me and would ask if I need anything and would get me what I ask of him without any complaint.I still keep thinking it is because he is trying not to mess up and if that is the case then I don’t think what we are trying to build will work out.I want the person I date to be himself and not think
Today was such a day, stressful, tiring all those.I went to deliver some packages from the little store I managed to start up during the holiday.We had some days before we resumed back to school and the issues that they were trying to resolve concerning their exams were sorted out so they started their exams immediately it was sorted.I should actually be happy that I was able to sell out most of them since a lot was requested but I wasn’t too happy.It wasn’t the customers or how stressful it was to get their location that got to me but what I encountered on my way back from delivering the packages.Mum and dad asked what the issue was but I just waived it off and said I was just tired. I was also glad they didn’t bother to push further to get me to answer why I was suddenly gloomy after I came back.I didn’t want to talk about it even if someone did ask what was going on and I should expatiate what exactly happene
I frowned and looked at this familiar-looking face sitting on my bed and looking down at me.He had a small smile on his face as he looked down at me while my face held confusion and disbelief.I wanted to be sure of what I just heard. Could be I didn’t hear properly, too sleepy to understand or process what he just told me or that I heard but finding it hard to accept or comprehend it.“So what are you trying to say to me?” I asked feeling sad about what I just heard from my dear friend.He can't be serious with what he is telling me now. He might just want to make sure I was very much awake so I could listen clearly to what he has to say to me now.He couldn’t just wake me up in that manner. He couldn’t.I had to sit up properly and open my eyes widely with my heart racing more than normal when I heard his first statement.I couldn’t understand what was going on and felt that I misheard or somethi
So when Leo came to my room the day before to inform me that he was leaving, I didn't think it was going to be the following day which was yesterday that he would actually leave.My mind was set to a few days or a week or two after he told me but I wasn’t expecting it to be that fast as I said before.It was too much to handle when he texted me that he left already and it made me cry and feel seriously bad.I asked him why he didn’t tell me when he was finally leaving, he told me it was best he left when I wasn’t around or it would have been hard for him to make that move or I might stop him without doing anything.I understood and just wished him luck in all his endeavors before disconnecting the call and telling myself not to cry and assure myself that all things are good and would remain good.If leaving is what would make things better then so be it.I was feeling kind of down even when I told myself not to but I can't
It has been a month since Leo left for another state to continue schooling and it has been quite hard on me since he left… no since he told me he would be going away before leaving the next day.Sighs!Chris has been so supportive of me and understood how I was and still am feeling about his absence. Like come on, he is a long-time friend that I have grown so accustomed to for so many years and he suddenly left without telling me days to when he was leaving.More like emergency informing.Well, I am keeping all of it away and focusing on myself and growing.We are now seniors, well not officially but by the beginning of the first term in September, we would be seniors and it is exciting.Our now seniors are writing their last paper this week and that will be all for the WAEC examination for them this year but the ones that signed up for NECO would have to work towards acing their exams after this exam.I think it would
We were already done eating dinner. Daniel went up to his room to continue his study while mum and dad were seated on the couch in the living room, I and Danielle sat in the dining area since we were already done with the dishes. I and my twin were talking about how the term is going and some of the funny posts we saw on the internet as we surfed the internet we even talked with Becca and she is holding up very fine. She didn’t opt-in for the NECO but Daniel did so she said she would be free and would try to make it when it would be convenient for us all and we all agreed to it all. “Daniella, go take out the trash” I heard dad say and we all turned to look at him, including mum. “Honey, it's late in the night. Let her take it out tomorrow” mum said and lay back on him but he wasn’t having it and insisted on it. “No, she has to take it out tonight, I need it out of the house tonight and not tomorrow” I and Elle looked at each other the
***Family’s Perspective*** Danielle got inside the house in a rush and went straight for the kitchen without sparing her mum a glance then came back out with two brooms and a packer and was heading for the door again but was stopped by the voice of her mother. “Where is Daniella? Why did you come alone? Where are you taking those to?” “We kind of spilled it on the floor and wanted to sweep them inside the trash can,” she told her mum and went out of the door immediately without waiting for a response from her. Their mum stood up and walked to the window to check where they are but couldn’t see any of them in view but just the silhouette of Danielle going further in the dark street. A frown graced her brows and she took her phone and went out of the house to go after them. “Why couldn’t they just put it in thi-” she cuts herself off when she didn’t see the trash can that used to be beside their house then looked ahead, in the direction
“Where is everyone?” I asked myself out loud and continued walking in the dark street of an unknown place. I couldn’t figure out how I saw myself here or how I got to this place or even where this place is. I continued walking in the same direction and was glad that there was a street light to illuminate the road and walkway. There was no car or anyone in view, just me walking in a quiet place and trying not to freak out or cry for help. Seems familiar but I hope there will be no scary man here to make me want to die quickly. When I continued walking, I something upfront and when I squinted my eyes to see it, I noticed it was a car that was parked by the roadside and thought that at least I am not the only one out here. There could be someone there that could help me out and we can get out of this creepy environment together. I walked faster to where the car was and as I got closer, I started having this strange feeling and it
Everything has been so crazy these past months. With my dad wanting... no, trying to kill me and would have succeeded the third time if not for… Sighs I really don’t want to think about all that has been happening these past few months and so I don’t think too much and cause another depressing depression for myself again. The therapist I was supposed to see when I was little which whom I am having a weekly session told me not to overthink things too much so it doesn’t affect my daily life and so that I can concentrate on healing from what has happened. Although she said healing might be a bit difficult since I have started having flashes of what happened to me when I was little and it is causing some major trauma for me and it might or might not make me crazy that was why she recommended I shouldn’t think too much about it. So here I am in my room sitting on my bed in all-black attire, slouched over and playing with my fingers as I wai
We all watched as emotions played on the judge face but he tried his best to ignore it.It is still like a dream to me, that my dad could do such to me and all those affection he showed where just for me to trust him enough so he can carry out his wicked plans successfully without me or mum suspecting a thing.That is the sickest thing I have ever heard anyone say and especially when that anyone is your dad.I am sick to the stomach and cant even look at him and see him as my dad. I am heartbroken, I am sad, I am conflicted… there are so many emotions running in me and I cant do anything to stop them from flowing.How can a father do such to his child? His daughter? His own flesh and blood? He is sick, very sick and I am ashamed to call him my dad or some one that is related to me.At first it was him picking on me, calling me all sort of names, being rude to me and all then slowly he started to seem like he was changing and making me think
After about three months in total some more evidence were presented and they were able to catch the remaining suspect who agreed there was a main boss but didn’t know him by face only what Org and Del told them about him they believed.Mabel, Angela and some of her school mates that were involved testified that Org told them to do so to her because the ‘big boss’ wanted her to be broken and to lack self-esteem.The security team in the estate testified and some of the new recruit said they saw one of their men give someone in a black hoody something before the person left and was threatened not to talk else he would be killed.He was scared for his life and kept quiet and would hardly come to work, so when he heard about the missing footage and a teenager being missing, he could hold himself and had to tell his boss, not caring if he would go for it. He had a sister of that age and cant imagine what her parents would be facing.A nurse h
Its been a week since I was discharged from the hospital and a lot has happened… like so much had happened.Everyone had been careful and gentle with me and it was okay though. Mum said she wouldnt allow me to resume school now, till everything is sorted already and mostly because she didn’t want it to serve as a remembrance to what I went through.I am glad that Daniel is almost done with his NECO exams and he said it was quite a challenge for him because he was bothered and coupled with him and Elle doing their investigations but he said he is fine now that he knows I am okay.I did ask about dad but everyone told me not to bother to much about him and I should just rest enough and not cloud my head with so many things.Elle went to school but I do have Becca to thank for staying back home with me and would stay till everyone came back home. I tried asking her if she knew something and sometimes it would look like she was holding back but s
…Present Day…She was seated in her car as she reminisce on what Sawyer had told her or rather unveiled to her. Her daughter showed her something familiar three days ago and is still in shock that he would do so.They said they needed enough proofs to tag it on him and his crime that was why they needed him to be in their custody.When she had found out about it from her daughter three days ago, it was hard to believe but her daughter was at stake here and she just had to believe and when she told her daughter not to confront him about it yet, it had always been something she wanted to do, that was why she kept lurking around when he calls or is alone to get something off him.She wanted to get it off her but didn’t want to blow things up at the same time so she had to lay low so instead she sneaked it to the police and informed her daughter about it so she was in on it too.They were able to locate that town that Danielle told
…Three days ago…Danielle called her mum into her room and explained some things to her concerning Daniella’s kidnap.“I know what I am going to say and show you might seem surprising but just remain calm and don’t think too much about it”The past few weeks that Daniella has been missing, the whole residence of the estate and her school knew and had tried in their own way to offer assistance and support.She hadn't announced it to anyone and was surprised that almost everyone around them knew about it but just had to go with it since everyone knewSome came by a few times and would just drop words of encouragement but were stopped by Deji’s constant nagging about having strange faces around them.To avoid any trouble or argument she nicely told them to send their regards through mails or through Daniel and Danielle or when they see her outside and was grateful for their understanding.
Everything happened in a split second and none of them are able to tell how of what happened in the past hour. It was a blur of confusion, tears, scars, danger, slight anger, and of all hope that everything turns out well.The continuous beeping of the machines was the only signal that her daughter still has a chance to live again from all that had happened to her these past weeks and now.Rose buried her face in her palms and so wished that she was the one who was in the position of her daughter was in currently.It was still so fresh as if she was told all of these just seconds ago.She could still remember when the police called and told her that they had found Daniella. It was like giving cold water to a lost, wandering, thirsty soul. So refreshing and heartfelt by her and her children. She felt the unseen burden being taken off her shoulders.She had rushed to the hospital with both Daniel and Danielle and are now waiting inside the waiting ro
“Ba-”“Where is my daughter?” she cuts him off as she threw him an angry look but he just looked at her, unable to formulate any word to say to her.“Look bab-”“I SAID DO NOT BABE ME” she screamed at him and he was taken aback by her outburst.This was going to be the first time in so many years that he would be seeing her in such a state. She gets angry but not this angry and would never use this tone on him.Daniella is definitely to blame for this. He closed his eyes to keep the pent-up anger that seem to have built up in seconds then opened them and released a breath.“I asked where is my daughter,” she said again but more calmly now.“You need to relax, okay?”“Fine, I am relaxed. Where is she?” she asked growing impatient.“Trust me, girl, I am as desperate as you to know about our baby’s whereabouts,” he said try
Deji kept pacing back and forth in his room since he heard the news. He really hoped that they were able to get out of that environment in time before things actually get out of hand.He had tried calling again and again but they aren't picking and it increased his fear with the hope that they aren't caught by whoever might have attacked them.He became more anxious as the time passes as he expect a call, text, sign of anything… anything that would give him the assurance that nothing had gone against his plan.Rose didn’t understand the reason for his restlessness these past days and doesn't understand that if anything goes wrong, he could be arrested, and would be sentenced to life imprisonment or even worse… death by hanging, firing squad, or whatever punishment they give to arrested criminals.He would be doomed if such happens that was why he wanted to make sure things go out fine and that they are okay and wherever they might be.
