STAR🌟

Thirty-three🌟

Star kept trying to get air through her lungs admist loud sobs, I kept my hands in hers as she held mine tightly, not letting go for a second

"Star breathe, baby breathe please"
Her cries became louder, I didn't make an attempt of stopping her, I was crying too. My head was throbbing seriously and I refused to believe it was obinna, as if star read my mind,

"What if it's not obinna? Baby what if it's someone else?" She stopped crying for a second, then she resumed crying. I'm sure she had thought of it again.

I hugged her tightly as we cried together, we were going to look for obi's body!

Star's POV

Noise pierced my peaceful sleep, I heard sobs too. Had moe forgotten to turn the volume down?

My eyes flutter open after what I heard, it was wide open, a picture was covered on the tv....it couldn't be what I was thinking, I decided to be positive, but hearing moe sob?

Tears streamed down my cheek, I couldn't stop them and they wouldn't stop pouring either, when my sobs became loud, moe turned to me and I felt like I was going to pass out

"Star breathe, baby breathe" he held my face up, he was crying too

At that moment, a thought came to me....peharps it wasn't obinna, it could be someone else

"What if it's not obinna? Baby what if it's someone else?" Then reality poured ice cold water on my throbbing head and it dawned on me, that it could really be my obinna

I choked on cries as moe rushed to me and took me in his warm arms again, instead of feeling safe in his arms as earlier, I felt alone, I felt lost, the same way I felt when aramide died.

✨

We were going out to find obinna's body at the police station, moe drove from the hotels driveway with speed, he looked confused and sickly, abd he wouldn't say a word to me.
I understood his trauma, I was facing the same thing...but one of us had to be strong for the other, I wasn't that one person. I wasn't a strong girl.

There were thick clouds in the sky like it was going to rain, it was very windy like the day ara died, I was expecting a downpour but till we arrived at the police station there was no rain.

"Let's go" his voice was husky and shaky like he was going to cry at any moment
We walked together, I supported him with my hands holding firm to his arms as we made our way to the counter, it took us a while and a lot of efforts to explain we were obinna's siblings

"Where are your parents?" The ugly looking police man asked

"They killed him" I sighed and moe pinched me to silence me, the police heard me well and he chuckled hard.

"What? Are we in a movie?" He asked
I was so pained and bitter, moe rested on my shoulder, looking into space, he was literally oblivious.

"They killed him, I'm telling you the truth and I'd never lie about something like this" I added hoping they'd believe me but they looked at me with sheer mockery

I still explained the kidnap experience to them but they weren't getting it.

"What evidence do you have young lady"
