Miss Raymond
I sighed as I checked my phone again.
Nothing
I have been waiting for Leonard's call since yesterday.
At school yesterday, we had an argument.
$$$$$
"Hey love" Leonard walked into my office.
"You are lucky I was given a personal office if not we would be in trouble" I chided
"I don't mind" he stared at me
I ignored it and went on with my work
"Okay what's wrong" he asked
"Nothing"
"It's not nothing. You're acting different" he pushed
"How do I act? I don't see any difference"
"Why are you sounding cold to me" he inquired
"I don't understand, I just took a cup of hot tea, I shouldn't sound cold"
"Alexa I'm being serious right now"
"And I'm also being serious. By the way it's Miss Raymond to you when we are at school"
"But we are alone!" He emphasized on the alone
"We are still at school"
"So we are no longer on the first name basis is that it?"
"Look Leonard I'm busy. Can you please excuse yourself" I said, not looking up from what I was doing.
There was a pregnant pause
"Fine. I'll call you" he walked out and I'm surprised he didn't slam the door behind him.
$$$$$$$$$$
So here I am waiting for his call.
I feel like I'm just kidding myself because personally if anyone had treated me the way I did to him and then told me he would call me, I wouldn't believe.
But this is me, sitting on the couch staring intensely at my phone and hoping his call would come in.
The truth is, I was jealous.
I saw him smiling at other girls and I got mad.
I was mad because other girls could make him smile
I was mad because I was older than him
I was mad because I know we'd be in trouble if our relationship gets out
I was mad because people wouldn't approve of us
I was mad because I wasn't one of those girls he was smiling at
I was mad because I can't shout and show everyone that he's mine
I was mad because I couldn't take him from those girls because it would raise suspicions
I was mad because there is a huge probability that when he graduates we won't see each other again.
I was mad because he might end up falling in love with someone that isn't me
I was mad because his entire future might be with someone else
I was mad because I am already in love with him and it's going to lead to my doom.
There's a lot of things I can do to stop this but I just don't want to.
I'm being really selfish because I want him all for myself.
Kiki Williams' POV
"It's okay man." I heard a voice say
A pretty familiar voice.
"It's just that I feel really guilty. No one was paying attention to her and look what happened"
That was David
"You need to forgive yourself and start correcting your mistake"
An unfamiliar voice said.
It sounded like a little girl.
There was silence before I heard a sigh.
I opened my eyes.
I glanced around the room.
At my left was David, Ethan and an unfamiliar little girl.
David was sitting on a sofa, Ethan was standing with him, hands on David's right shoulder while a little unknown girl was leaning by the wall.
No one else was in the room.
"David" I croaked
Their heads shot up to me
David rushed to me and helped me sit up. He offered me some water which I took, while at that Ethan left to call the doctor.
"How are you? Does anywhere hurt? Can you mov-"
"I'm fine" I cut David off
"You got me really scared. I almost lost you" I just stared blankly at him.
I was void of emotions. I didn't want to talk to anyone. I couldn't feel anything. I just want to be alone.
The doctor rushed in and examined me then assured them that I was okay.
I stopped the doctor as he was about to leave
"I want to have a word with you in private" I told him
"Uhmm. Okay miss" he replied
"We'll wait outside. In the mean time, I'll call Mum and Dad to let them know you are awake"
"Don't" I deadpanned
"But why?!"
"I'm not ready to face them"
I am not scared of them, I'm just too angry to see them.
They all gave me a look. David nodded and everyone left apart from the doctor.
"Please I need a huge favour from you"
"And what may that be?"
"Doctor please promise me you will fufill it"
"I need to know what it is first"
"Please I desperately need you to lie."
"What?! Lie?"
"Yes. I need you to lie to everyone. Tell them that I have some complications, just cook up something"
"Why?!"
"I want to keep staying here. If you tell them I'm fine, I'll get discharged and I want to be far from that house which they call home" I explained
He gave me a look.
"But this is against my profession. I could get in serious trouble if I'm caught besides my religion won't let me" he declined
"Please. I desperately need this" I pleaded
"I'm sorry but I can't help you. If you have a problem solve it out with your family" he proceeded to leave.
"I'll kill myself" I said to his hearing
He halted his steps
"Please do it or I'll kill myself. Trust me I'm not bluffing sir. If I could stop taking my drugs when I knew the consequences what more a few cuts on my wrist" I threatened
"Little girl what is wrong with you?" He whispered in disbelief
"Are you in or not sir?" I asked
"Fine but please don't hurt yourself. Talk to your family. Communication helps a lot" he advised.
I gave him a nod and he left
I raised up my hospital shirts and stared at the marks on my tummy.
Cut marks.
I don't give a damn in the world any more.
I'm depressed.
I'm lonely
Experiencing a broken and fake, clout chasing family relationship made me who I am.
I should be enjoying my childhood.
I should be given freedom but instead I'm tied down with a diseases.
I'm to survive by taking medications everyday.
I don't have friends because I don't know people my age apart from those bunch of snubs I meet at family functions.
Even at all these, my parents wouldn't even give me enough attention.
All they care about is the fame, the awards, the company and their wealth.
Mum even tried to give us more attention but Dad is the worst.
They aren't even here.
It's like I live with a stranger.
I can't hug my own dad.
I can't ask him to get me things when he leaves for work
I don't even know his other name, I found out from the internet.
Everything is toxic for me
I feel neglected
Byeeeeee😭
