‘Beautiful you remind me of the good memories when I could be myself without any fear of having flaws’I smile as the first few lines of the poem Esther brought for me. I was extremely grateful to it because somehow it reminded me of old times with my mom. When we weren't popular and could be ourselves anywhere.Somehow it reminded me of Romeo too, I was carefree with him maybe because of the wig on my head that made him not recognize me. I liked the fact that I didn't have to fake anything around him. He definitely brought out a better part of me.I grabbed my diary and decided to write my thoughts.I asked Esther to buy me a diary earlier today and she did without hesitation. She was a very kind hearted person and I was grateful to have met someone like her. I shouldn't have judged her wrongly when we first met at the beach. I was wrong to do that.‘Your smile

I finally gathered some balls and went back home to have a decent conversation with mom after I'd park my things, of course.And yes I made a decision to go with Lola to Jamaica. There's no way I would give all of this up when I'm so close."Ola" Mom started."Mother" I say dully."I have a confession" she took a deep breath then looked me unsurely. I nod for her to continue and what i heard next shocked me."I've been with Rahul for over two years now"He was the man I met talking to mom on the day we were to receive our award.Flashback*"Hi Mom, good day sir" I greeted pecking my mom on the cheeks and strecthing my hand towards the man for an handshake. He was quite attractive. He shake my

                           ROMEO"Anna hasn't been picking any of my calls as of recent, it's unusual of her" I say to Theo, my best friend who keeps trying to convince me that Rose and Ola, the slutty celebrity were one person.I would never believe that. Never.Anna was a gold, I liked her while Ola was a spoiled brat. She even ruined a painting so dear to my heart and I disliked her for it."Bro Ola Smith got involved in a home accident and she got stabbed in the process, the chances of her surviving are very low" he said and I glared at him."Why are you telling me that?""Since when did you become so heartless? Ola Smith might die from internal bleeding and if she dies, Rose dies" "Shut up!" I say running my hands through my hair. He was beginning to frustrate me. Rose and O

                   After eating the weird potatoes and veggies the nurse gave me, I took some medicines and lay on my bed.Its had been two days since I got out of coma. I was getting better, I think. I got visits from Lola, Stephanie, Esther and Daniel. I got to learn more about him and he was pretty cool.Even Sade Johnson paid me a visit once, but this time it wasn't about any plans. It was about me getting better. She was like a friend when she came not some snobbish celebrity.We talked about life and and everything except our plans to bring down Lola which I was truly grateful for.I was reading a romantic novel when I received a call from Romeo. I haven't decided which lies to tell him this time but I answered it anyway because I missed him."Romeo.. Hey!" "Anna it's so good to hear your voice again,

                Today was the day I would be leaving this 'all white' scenery and I was really grateful to God because I was able to overcome suicidal thoughts despite having nice friends.Esther and Lola helped me get an apartment in a pretty nice area. They helped me arrange it and everything but somethings I used to have back at my old house was missing.I missed a lot of things actually but I couldn't go back. This was my new life now and I had to adjust to it despite it's shortcomings.I had to get my cars. Maybe sell one off and look for a new job since I already sent a letter to mom's secretary informing her of my withdrawal from the office.I told Danny about having to pack my things from mom's house. It wasn't my house anymore. Danny agreed to escort me there tomorrow around 12pm when mom would still be at work. He also agreed that I could cal
