STAR🌟

Thirty-four🌟

I pulled up in front of stars house, she hadn't made a sound through out the drive, and she still didn't know they had arrived at her destination

"Star?" I tapped softly
She turned to stare at me, she looked weak and exhausted, she could only groan inaudibly.

I turned to the passengers seat, removed the seat belt and the next moment she was in my arms, I could easily open the gate. But ringing the bell and holding star was a struggle.

"Good day ma"
She looked down at star with worry

"What happened to my baby?" She was almost screaming
"Come in with her"

I took star upstairs and placed her in the room under the watch of her mother, but I was about to leave the room when she held on tightly to my shirt, stretching the fabric.
I knew how miserable I looked, but star was in a worse condition, she wouldn't let go so I had to sit there.

"Where did you go?"
"What happened to her"

"We lost a friend, she's been like this since we went to visit them"

"You mean the boy we saw on the news?" She gasped covering her mouth with her palm

"Yes, my brother" tears almost betrayed me.

"I'm so sorry"

"And star's close friend"
"I have to go now ma, please look after star, I'd call in tomorrow"

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Feeling miserable and guilty, my mind started to play games with me, obinna's pictures wouldn't leave my mind, the times when he'd laugh and joke, times when we planned the star thing. It was too much to handle, I paused with the car purposely in the middle of the highway hoping a trailer or something would crush me, I hoped it'll all end.

Nothing happened, cars only sped past.
With great difficulty I arrived at my lodge when it was finally dark
I climbed the stairs slowly, walked into the dark room, the woman on the news was still blabbing, just the way I left the TV.

I crawled weakly to the bed and tried to get comfortable under the covers, obinna's scent suddenly filled everywhere and the noise in my mind grew even worse.

🌟
"Doesn't mean I've forgiven you"
"You stole my girl"

"Obinna I didn't steal star"
"She hasn't even made her choice"
🌟

The conversation replayed several times in my mind, I broke into more tears, I had never been this heartbroken, my heart was literally hurting, I could feel the pain tearing into my heart over and over again, his scent still very strong like he was sitting in the room with me.

The wealth had won again, they were so unpredictable, this one was a big one, they knew what to do to break my wing, no they had broken my wings, they shattered it, they knew obinna was my wing, I couldn't fly with just one wing, they knew this, they had won for the fourth time.

I curled into a ball, darkness weighed heavily above my head as I slipped into a disturbing sleep.

Star's pov

Waking up to my mom beside me, the brightness blinding me for a second

"Obinna"I groaned, my legs felt numb

"Star" she clasped my hands in hers
"I called the doctor"

"For what?"

"You're sick"
"He says it's partial paralysis"

"Paralysis?" I tried to move but she held me in place

"It's psychological, and you'd walk soon, it's not so serious and it happened as a result of shock" I heard her voice from a distance as I want he'd her mouth move

"You'd walk very soon, you're still shocked, all you have to do is eat well and rest"
"I took the week off"

She wouldn't stop talking, but I had stopped listening a while ago, I couldn't make out the words she was saying properly

I started to cry again "I'm sorry you had to die"
"It's my fault, it's all my fault"

"She hasn't stopped talking to herself?" Lolu walked in

"I hope it doesn't get worse, I feel like my baby is running mad"
I felt mom hug me, raising my head to rest on her lap.

"Obi, would you come back for your star girl?"

"Did you have to leave?"

"Did you consider how moe and I would feel?"

"You died a really painful death, was I in your mind at the last moments?"

"Fuck! You didn't have to die" I groaned, my stomach started to hurt, I knew it was anxiety, I broke into loud tears, the pain in my heart superseded the pain I felt physical

I heard loud sobs and sniffles above me, mom was crying too.

"You'd be fine my baby" she patted me mildly until I fell asleep in her arms again.
