All Chapters of LOVE ON A LUXURY BUS: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

A typical luxury bus gives you the freedom to adjust, stand firm, bend, or curl up while in transit. I wrapped my head inside my jacket with my face on my laps as I listen to the dramatic rythym my heartbeat propounded. On a regular day while undertaking a long journey in a luxury bus like this, I would stand firm when I got tired, stretch myself lifting my hands up, sit with my legs up facing the air conditioner above or sometimes sit on the handle of any seat I was occupying. That was how I made the previous journeys I embarked on luxury buses condusive. Today, my mood and position depicts the state of a child who has just been abandoned by her mother. I began to sob as I listened to my aching heart.Today,  I was running away from home. 'My poor mother. ' I thought as I cleaned my eyes with the edge of my grey jacket which was  large enough to accomdate my face and cover my sorrowful state from the prying eyes of the passengers. I took deep breaths, cleaned my eyes again

"I will tell you about my father not because I want some sort of sympathy or momentary companionship but because I just want to get it off my chest and moreover, we might never see the moment we finally alight this bus just like you assert " I said. "Okay Ella Moore. " said Trevor. "Tell me about Mr. Moore. " he added. I took a deep breath, heaved a sigh and began. "My father never really cared for him. Infact he doesn't. " "Why are you conclusive about that. " interrupted Trevor. "At my graduation in nursery school, he never showed up, when we did plays in high school and parents would come to watch thier kids perform, my mom was always the one there. " I said with tears welling in my eyes. "Maybe he got occupied and your programs clashed with his schedule. " said Trevor. "Hey don't look at me that way. " after he noticed the stern look I was giving him. "Okay fine. Your dad wasn't really present and it's not nice. " he said. "Not nice for an only child. " I added. "Is that why you

"I am terribly missing my mother." I told him. "You should call her. " he said. "Never. " I screamed probably so loud that the lady in front of us had to turn around. "Well you are having issues with your mom not your dad. So you should call her. " Trevor insisted. "You don't understand. " I said to him. "Yes I don't understand why you can't place a simple phone call to your poor mother telling her how you are doing. She must be worrying to death. It's been almost six hours she hasn't heard a word from you. " he said. "I can't call her. They'll find me. I can't take chances. " I told him.   "I understand you are running away from Mr. Moore but perhaps a text message will do. Text your mom informing her that you'll be fine and just need some time to cool off. " he said. "I can't. " was my reply. "So you gonna call her when you get to GreenLand? " he asked. I didn't utter a word. "The people you are going to stay with in Greenland. Aren't they relatives, or maybe

"Hey Lilly. " he screamed and ran to meet the strange lady. "Is that you? " he asked her holding her wrist and looking at her from head to toe. "What are you doing here? " she asked him. Meanwhile, I was standing by the corner watching Trevor exchange pleasantries with this dark skinned lady called Lilly. "Meet my friend. " he told her while pulling her closer to me. "She is.. " "Bella. " I said quickly before Trevor could forget and say Ella. "Hi. " said the lady while extending her hand to me. I shook her and said "Hello. " ", This is Lilly. " began Trevor. "We were course mates at the University. " he said. I smiled halfway and nodded. "Is she your girlfriend now? " asked Lilly. "No. " I quickly replied. "So what are you guys doing around here? " Lilly further asked. "We are on a luxury bus to GreenLand. It broke down few meters behind so we are here to grab something to eat. " Trevor told Lilly.   "What are you doing here? " he asked her. "I live in this com

Hey!  Look who is hugging me now. " said Trevor. I quickly broke off the embrace . "You know? " he continued. "Early this morning you wouldn't say hi to me now look how far we've gone. " he said and chuckled. "Hey don't feel so special. " I replied. "It doesn't mean that I'll beg you to take me along as you claim. " I added. "Let's get some sleep. It's past 3:am. We need all the sleep we can get. " he said. I nodded. Few minutes later, I heard Trevor saying to me. "You can't sleep can you? " "Uhmm am not feeling sleepy. " I lied. "Of course you are. Your eyes say so. " he retorted. "You are scared. You are scared you might get another nightmare aren't you? " he asked. "Probably. " I replied then coughed. 'Let's do this. I'll tell you about the scariest night of my life and you tell me about yours. " suggested Trevor. "Am not sure if I can do this. " I replied shaking my head in disapproval. "You can. I'll go first and don't you worry. You don't have to tell me about your scarie
