“So will you come?” I asked him and pushed the bread and akara I bought in polythene nylon into his hands.

I wanted him to come with the rest of the gang to this place I and Becca spotted the other day. We decided we would let our fam know so they can come along with us and we can chill.

It has been stressful especially with the seniors, that is my brother, Becca, and their coursemates. Their WAEC exam is approaching really fast and the teachers in our school are doing a great job in easing the stress the students were facing and preparing them for the exam.

Some of the students burned out, being their first time taking the exam and coupled with some of the strange things that they were told by some people who just like spreading rumors.

They got quite edgy and easily ticked. Well, just a few of them. Daniel and Becca kept it cool and all.

That was why I wanted us all to chill here and most especially for the exam takers so they don’t get any

    “I think she’s dead” I heard Org say some meters away from me and with a gruff voice. I heard shuffling of something, a slight thud, and faded steps. “Stop saying stupid things,” Del said after some time. “Remember this is the day we have to leave to where boss asked us to meet him at” he continued. “Yeah, yeah, whatever… but after today do we still get to babysit the girl? Like come on, I can't stand kids and she has overstayed her welcome. I don’t want to be shouted at because of a little girl” he said. “Just for a matter of time, just for a matter of time” Del replied him and then I heard more footsteps and this time it was coming in my direction. I did my best to pretend I was sleeping deeply and that was when I felt a light tap on my foot. I stayed still for a while and felt the tap again and it wasn’t as light as the first one. So I moved a bit and stretched on the duvet I spread on the floor to sleep the previous night and yawne

    “Okay, are we all set?” Del asked when he entered the car and Org locked the door from the driver’s place. That is the only power I know every driver has. Just this driver here has a gun so that is a double power for him. “Yes, we are” he started the car and reversed a bit then drove out of the compound and out to a narrow road. I was watching from the window as trees and bushes pass by when they drove out of the place. I wanted to ask where they would be meeting with my parents to hand me over to them but I don’t know if they would answer me or not so I just decided to be mute till we get to where we are going. Many thoughts ran through my mind as I tried to understand how it took too long to finally get to me. I am not complaining though but I thought it would have been faster to have got it clicked. I just tried to let it go so I don’t start thinking too much about it. “How long would it take for us to get there?” I heard De

    “Really?” he asked eating garri and kuli-kuli with me. When I came back downstairs he was already through with the juice and chips I brought for him and he told me to bring him some of the garri and to bring more kuli-kuli. “Yeah” I answered him back. It was really nice having this talk with him, something we have ever really done and it gives me happiness that he is willing to talk to me and not make snarky remarks about me or look at me in a weird manner. Except earlier when he scared my entire being. “I am glad I could finally talk to you again dad,” I said to him and he smiled then nod his head. “Me too, I am glad and feel really bad I made you pass through those times when I would make those comments about you,” he said and I could see the sad emotions playing on his face. He really looks sad about it and I have no grudge held against him since he already understands how he hurt me and feels sorry about it. I knew

    Today was the day we would be going for that little vacation and I was as excited as everyone here. The seniors in our group were so happy and relieved they could have some relaxing time before the commencement of their exam and I am glad we helped them. It was such a shame Chris couldn’t join us as he texted me during the week that he would have to pass since something came up and it was strange because he didn’t come to school in a while again and I got a bit worried but when he confirmed he was okay I felt at peace and told the rest of the gang. They just shrugged as they did when I asked if he could join us and Leo was really happy he wouldn't get to see the very Chris all through our relaxing time. I was kind of sad he would be like that but just so far he isn't uncomfortable and trying to be okay so I don’t feel bad made me at ease and I decided we will just enjoy this little… should I say vacation? Yep, our little vacation. I told Elle

    you LORD” I ended the praise we were singing and we all clapped and cheered. We didn’t even mind the driver as we were into the praise so much. We have been singing the worship song for about five minutes before I changed it to praise and we all sang in unison. “Praise the LORD” I shouted. “Hallelujah” everyone chorused. “I am so glad we could be able to sing praises and songs of worship to the highest GOD and the LORD bless you all for being a partaker,” Leo said cleaning his face with his handkerchief. “Amen and you too” we all chorused. “The ones taking their exams should be calm because GOD has taken control and will make it easy and understandable for you all in JESUS name,” Elle said and everyone chorused ‘Amen!’ “That was an amazing praise worship,” I said smiling. “Yep, it was” Leo agreed. “How close are we to our destination?” Becca asked looking at her phone for the time “It's already three pm

    “Well, I didn’t think that would happen so you can't blame me for that,” I said trying to defend myself from their attack. “Yeah, yeah, we shouldn’t blame you. I was really tempted to flick the side of your head that day. You wouldn’t believe how angry I felt just looking at you make a fool of yourself” Elle said rolling her eyes. I wonder why she is making it look like I am at fault most of the time when she too was at fault that day. She is saying I made a fool out of myself when all I was trying to do was save our ass so we wouldn’t get reported. I didn’t want anything that would make anyone come home to our home and report us to our parents. That is something a child would be scared of happening. “Oh please, we both know you messed up too. Stop making it seem like I was the only one who messed things up alone.” “Well, it was mostly your fault so I can still put all the blame on you, right Leo?” Elle asked looking at Leo. I could se

    Today we would be going back home after our two-day vacation. I just can't stop calling it a vacation… I think I have said this numerous times but it has been a long we went out to just relax aside from the ones we go with our family just us as tired teenagers looking to relax for a while. It felt good and I hope that after their exam we can go on more little vacations and long vacations too. I sat on the bed and stretched my body then took my phone from the bedside table to check the time. It was still early and we need to check out before twelve in the afternoon so we don’t get overcharged. I stood up from the bed and stretched again then went into the bathroom to ease myself and take a bath so I can be ready for the day. By the time I was done, the girls were already up and packing their bags. I went to pack my bags too. “I doubt those boys are awake,” I said out loud. “They sometimes sleep like they ran a marathon,” I said

    “How was your little trip?” Dad ask when we were having dinner at home. We came back when it was almost dinner time. Leo went back home and Becca too so we three went to our rooms to freshen up and come downstairs for dinner. Although we were kind of tired and sleepy but since our stomach rumbled and requested food we need to fill it up so here we are. Mum isn't around so it was dad who made dinner and it is very delicious. “It was great, I did enjoy those two days we had to relax, and I am very sure Daniel and Rebecca are more relaxed and would be very prepared to take that exam” I answered him and he nodded his head. “That is nice to hear. Maybe after your exams, we all can go on a short vacation to where ever you choose,” he said. “Paris?” I asked with wide-opened eyes. “Let's not get too crazy, it will be within Nigeria so you all to make your research about places you will like to have some cool relaxing time at and let I

    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.

    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.

    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.

    “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

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.
