My Missing Piece

prologue

You know that statement 'the perfect family ' well it's a lie at least mine is so lemme start from the beginning I was originally

Borned into a family that could be referred to as the perfect family.

It was actually, everything was perfect it was like a fairly tale absolute perfection I had loving parents

Adoring siblings everything any kid would ever want but that was all taken from me on that day

I remember it so clearly it still haunts my dreams till today

And the pain to real to be nightmares but I have to say it I can't keep holding on to it

So it was my birthday that day I was turning right and I couldn't be more excited I kept talking about it jumping from place to place

All because of my excitement,so my parents decided that this year we where gonna go on a road trip to Kaduna our home town to spend my birthday and holiday to you know need of the school year vibe

With our external family specifically my grandparents that same day we had packed all the necessity for our journey and we where off only a few hours to our destination when we where ambushed everything

Happened so fast one second we where in the car driving in peaceful silence with only the radio humming a soft tune then the next second gunshot, screams and cries where all I could hear hell even my heart beat has gone missing in the mist of all this 

I watch in fear horror and disgust as my siblings and father where being killed in front me at this point I don't even know where my mom is no even a single emotion could be seen on my face all I saw was blood

And I was next how did I know that's because they was a gun pointed at me hell I just wanted to die I didn't even care anymore

I know I would never be the same after what I've witnessed if I where to survive so I sat waiting for the trigger to be pulled

I heard the sound but I couldn't feel anything and my eyes where shut tightly is this what a gunshot feels like I thought they was pain attached or something

Reluctantly I opened my eye to see my mom in front of my on the ground she was bleeding I should know cuz I was kneeling in it I ran to her crying and asking her why she did this and she told me something I would never forget

"Because I love you and I want you to continue living for us please my dear Don't give up promise me "she added bearly breathing know and still managing to smile while holding my hand "I promise and I love you too" those where the last words I told her before her eyes closed and I would never see my mom's beautiful smile again

I could hear sierings from I a far before everything went black and true to that I was never the same again.

-----
I later wake up in the hospital with my aunt and uncle's around me crying that where saying sorry and other things but I didn't even pay them any attention I was still in shock

Later I was taken to my uncle's house (my mother's immediate brother) where he is married and has three kids the youngest is my age mate and best friend too by Allah I love her 

she saved my more times than I can count.

To bad that a story for another day
