The Revenge of HER

Let the games begin.

I laughed listening to the crackling of the wood underneath my feet, the crashing of glass in the far distance and the banging of items falling. It saddened me that I was destroying my house but... If I couldn't live in it... well then no one could live in it.

Grabbing a can of spray paint I briefly shook it as I climbed up the stairs. I got to my bedroom and sprayed an 'M' on the door. I kicked down the door and found a picture of Qu and Brandon at her stupid maternity shoot.

"Hmmff I think it needs a bit more colour." Spraying onto the picture, I covered their eyes with crosses and circled in on her belly.

"Hmm this looks better." before I could move onto writing more messages my ring tone went off, when I saw it was Lorraine I declined the call and carried on doing what I did best... bringing chaos.

Seconds after I declined the call, my phone vibrated against my hip, telling me a message came through. 'I'll open it later.' I thought to myself.

"Ndisa!" Enhle called out from downstairs.

"Wassup."

"You almost done, I'm famished!"

"Do you not ever think with your stomach?!"

"Do you not ever think with your heart?!"

"Bitch-"

"Finish up man! I think they about to come back anyway!"

"Yeah you right, they been gone for far too long,"

I closed the door and pranced down the stairs humming the beat to Desperado. Enhle was leaned against the wall munching on a pie, "Enhle where did you get that pie?"

"Your ex is not that useless, he had a table filled with food and drinks."

"Oh my word are you serious, Is there more?"

"Well this is my 3rd pie so... yeah, you can check in the fridge if there's more."

"We don't have time let's go."

Me and Enhle sat in the car eating what we ordered from the nearest restaurant, We couldn't find a booth to eat in so we settled on eating in the car. Taking a sip of the cool drink I had, I decided to check that message I said I would check.

Laur 9+ messages.

Nine plus messages, I wonder what could've compelled her to text me, I opened the first message and my mouth went dry with what I read, It couldn't be possible.

Mandisa! you better pick up my call, it's an emergency... for real this time, they know that you're still alive and they were interrogating me! The police are onto you! They know that you are around town even, you were spotted by Brandons house... it's still not too late let's run away! Please?

"Pshhhh, I can't run away now, I'm in too deep."

"U'khuluma no'bani?" (Who are you talking to?) Enhle asked taking a bite into her burger. She stopped chewing and looked at me when I didn't answer her question, I just continued reading the other messages that Lorraine left, It was more of her saying I should call her and more of the same bullshit she had to be pulling, she kept on repeating that Brandon was going back and that he knew.
