#Rule Eight
Never pay attention to sermons. They weaken you and make you vulnerable to criticism.
Just to be clear
NEVER TAKE ADVICE FROM ANYONE.
IT NEVER HELPS. IF YOU START LISTENING TO ADVICE, YOU START THINKING OF IT TOO MUCH. YOU BEGIN TO DOUBT YOURSELF AND TIU BECOME VULNERABLE TO ATTACKS
Damien drove me home, quietly, not talking to me. I asked him what was wrong but he said nothing.
"C'mon. You can tell momma bear anything" I said
"Krishen, I..... nevermind" he said, gripping the steering wheel till his knuckles turned white.
"Damien, talk to me" I said
"I'm sorry Krishen . Wanna focus on the road" he said
"Ok. You wanna be depressed, your problem. And stop being such an asshole about it" I hissed.
"Okidoki, and remember, friends don't talk to each other like that." Damien said.
"And friends don't shut thier friends out of thier problems" I said
Damien took his hands off the steering wheel and clapped for a while before returning his hands to the wheel. "So you even know the rules of friendship .I thought you knew no rules" he sneered
"I hate it when boys talk to me like that, and that is why I never wanted to talk to talk to boys. Stop the car" I hissed
" What is wrong with you Krishen?" Damien asked
" Nothing's wrong with me, stop the car" I screamed.
He taxied down the driveway to his house.
" Turn this car around, I wanna go home! "I yelled, tears streaming out of my eyes.
Damien drove into the garage which automatically closed itself. Then, he turned off the engines and pulled out the ignition key.
Then he finally faced me.
"Krishen...why are you acting like this?" He asked
"Acting like how?" I snarled
" Like a...a please forgive me..." He said and blurted " like a monster!"
" Cuz that's what I am!. A monster." I said angrily
" Listen, Krishen, did anyone hurt you jn the past?" Damien asked
" My past is none of your business" I snapped.
" It's not but I care, that's why I wanna know who made you this way." Damien said softly
" No one hurt me" I said
" Then why don't you wanna let anyone close, not even your mum? Why don't you wanna make friends? Why don't you wanna open your heart and accept the love offered to you ? why do you hate people?" Damien said
I kept silent
" Krishen" he said taking my hand. " Your mum needs you. She needs a lady to be around and talk to . She needs your love a lot . She is struggling to pay your fees and everything but you pay her back by not even talking to her like a daughter ought to. I wonder if you even love your mum"
He continued " I Know people can be annoying like Andy and Nessa or just definitely being bitchy like Leilani but ignore them. If you keep on hurting them, at a point, you'll start paying for everything you ruined. And you know your family is struggling. And if you keep hurting people, please always remember that they are also someone else's children. What if you killed any of them by mistake? It's jail then "
" Krishen, I'm so sorry for wasting your time and probing your private life but please listen to me . Let go of the hurt , let go of the pain. This is the wrong time to bring more problems to your family. Please " he said " I don't wanna be friends with a monster. I wanna be friends with Krishen"
" Plus, if you don't let go of your hurt, it will continue to destroy your academic life. Look at how dismally you perform. I know you are tryna work hard. And it's obvious. But if you keep letting the past getting into the way, how are you gonna concentrate? Really, Krishen, I'm worried about you....please, don't be like this."
I didn't fucking come to be lectured. This is all sermon on the mount. I wanted to say that but I clamped my big mouth shut.
How could I possibly hurt a guy that didn't know how to even defend himself?
I just looked at him and shook my head.
" Damien please, all these is giving me a serious headache" I said
Damien said " look at you Krishen. How could someone ever believe that a beautiful girl like you could snatch candies from babies?"
" Arrrgh, Damien, since when did my life start to concern you." I yelled
" As a friend , I...." Damien was saying but I snapped
" Fuck you!" I screamed and stomped out of the car. I ran to the garage and banged on the door. Damien came out of his car and held me" please think about it"
" I so fucking hate you Damien." I hissed as the door slid open " I thought you liked me the way I am. I thought you were friends with me just because I was original, I was me, I wasn't fawning on you like other girls. I regret knowing you!" I cried, running out with tears blinding me. " And keep your stupid sermon to yourself!" I hissed at the gate of his house and ran outside
