All Chapters of TEQUILA : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Just like the moonWe must go through an empty phaseTo become full again•••There was nothing beautiful about the life she lived. Her life was a haiku of ugly changes and she had lost hope at the time she needed it more. There was nothing to cheer her on and no shoulders to cry on. It wouldn't be much of a surprise if one could rip out her heart and see the river of tears and pain it withheld since the day she lost her sister.She automatically shut everyone from her life. Not crying. Not speaking. Not eating. Not doing anything. It was so alarming that some people thought she'd commit suicide soon and till this day, it marveled her, how she had been able to survive till this very moment.Could it be that somehow, somewhere deep down in her being. In the secrecy of her heart, she was living by hope. The hopes of things going back to how it was before and maybe with the hopes that there was really something called time travelling and if there was, she'd go back to her twelve year old

Although I guess if I knew tomorrowI guess I wouldn't need faithI guess if I never fell, I guess I wouldn't need graceI guess if I knew His plans, I guess He wouldn't be God.•••I'm ill. Terminally ill and it's that bad that up till this moment I'm only surviving...His calmness.His plain look.His toneless voice.It wasn't making any sense. How did he announce that he was terminally ill with a kind of calmness akin to the soft whistle of the breeze sweeping past them? How did he even manage to keep a plain look and make his voice sound so toneless whilst he announced a whole bundle of catastrophe?And she? She sat there taking in the news with an impassive expression. Not reacting, not even an iota of show of feelings for someone who just revealed he had a limited time to live. Unlike his mum who'd smile and assure him that he would be fine anytime she talked about his illness and Sarah? Sarah would probably break into a loud fit of painful sobs and afterwards, glue to him thro

'Cause every moment I find youI fear the days that I don't.•••"Good day students of Bluebell, I'm happy to see y'all here after the amazing weekend I trust we all to have had and even though your weekend wasn't all amazing, don't be discouraged, there are better days ahead..." Sarah paused, throwing her gaze around her audience all seated inside the vast auditorium orderly fashion."Without futher ado, i'll like to let us all know that Bluebell's students week is upcoming and as part of our activities for the students week, it's important to note that we, Bluebell's voluntary services will be going on an enlightenment spree to juvenile homes and other institutions and we'll be giving talks on anxiety disorder and how to manage them, domestic/ drug abuse..." she paused again, taking in a deep breath.She was pretty outspoken and the ounce of attention she commanded on stage was outstanding. Her eyes twinkling brightly as she scanned through the crowd with an encouraging heartwarming

Anywhere wheneverApart but still together•••It was outrageously dumb. Posing as popstars to sneak away from school was a dumb idea, and they knew that it was. But they weren't going to risk another method like feigning illness.Besides, why ask more for what you really don't desire. Especially since she knew about his terminal illness, It'd seem heartless and absolutely mean to use it to her advantage.And she couldn't help imagine her subconscious applauding her for being considerate for the first time in so many a year.Jumping out of the school fence was absolutely stupid and cowardly and she knew she was never known to be such a puss. Besides, alot of things could go wrong with jumping the fence like; them having to sprain an ankle or in worst cases, getting a concussion. classic popstars should look classic.And then, there comes the option of obtaining a permit card which was also totally unreasonable because there weren't any substantial ground and reasons why the school au

The host kept talking and talking. She was an hour glass shaped lady with small eyes that twinkled at each sentence she spoke. One could tell that she loved her job. "Let's welcome, Miss April Waje...." she trailed off, disrupted by the thunderous cheers erupting from the crowd holding their phones up and some with placards that read; 𝐰𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥🥺❤️🤩✨April beamed into the crowd, the massive crowd of people gathered here as her fans.It was overwhelming. Her stardom had always been overwhelming except that she thought to take a break and she was determined to. "Hello April.” the host greeted as April sat majestically on a queen sized couch, legs cross
