BROKEN PIECES.

CHAPTER 29 | TAKE MY HAND.

I don't know how I managed to fall asleep when my life is so fucked up. The only thing going right in my life are my studies and that's all I need to focus on cause I know it's the only way that can help me change my life. I wake up, make Inga's bed then walk out of the bedroom. I find Inga watching TV and drinking tea or coffee. I look at the screen and she's watching reality TV. Yeah I also love me some reality drama.
" Morning Inga." She smiles and looks at me. Inga is medium height brown skin curvy girl. She has a beautiful smile and wears glasses sometimes.
" Morning sleepy head. Did you sleep well? " I sit on the sofa.
" I did. Thanks for letting crash here on last minutes. I don't know what I would have done had your flat mate been here."
" She would have understood. Don't worry about it." I sigh. " Your phone was ringing non stop like an hour ago."
" I didn't hear it. I'll go check it."
" Oh I called the building manager and left his a voice message. As soon as he calls me back I'll let you know."
" Thanks Inga. I promise I will be out of your hair. I'll be back "
" I'll make you something to drink. Tea or coffee? "
" Tea thanks " 
I walk back to her bedroom and close the door. I sit on her bed then check my phone on the dressing table. I see missed calls from Thando. I did give her my number before she left so I call her back.
" Hey, are you okay? I've been calling you since I woke up "
" I'm fine. Just woke up now and I feel like shit."
" I know. I'm sorry about everything "
" So am I. I don't think Natasha is going to continue paying your fees. I'm sorry "
" Jabs don't worry about it. I have a plan. I'm just glad those people are out of our lives."
" Yeah me too " We keep quiet.
" She didn't deserve your love. They both didn't." she says after a while.
" I won't make that mistake again.
" I'm sorry I was shitty to you too. You didn't deserve it Jabs. I was suppose to tell you that I felt neglected by you. That I knew Natasha was pretending around you. I thought that maybe me behaving that way will cause a rift between you two and she'll make you choose between me and her and you'll choose me. But that doesn't give me the reason to say all those mean and hurtful things to you. Things that I know hurt you. I'm sorry for using them against you. I was very wrong and I am ashamed for how I treated you when you have never treated me this way. I was going to apologize during our lunch but then all that shit happened. Please forgive me "
" You hurt me Thando. Please don't ever hurt me like that again. If you feel like I'm ignoring you then talk to me and tell me. I forgive you "
" Thank you sis. I love you "
" I love you too."
" Let's go out tonight to celebrate "
" It's raining Thando "
" Clubs are open even when it's raining "
"  I don't want to go out really. I don't feel like it."
"  Okay then. I guess we'll have a party here. To celebrate your freedom."
" I have to find a place to stay Thando and honestly I don't feel like partying "
" Jabs just live a little ok. Please come " She begs me.
" Ok but I am coming with Inga. Send me your location and we'll see you later."
" I promise you are going to enjoy it."
" Is it at that place we found you with Eric? "
" No, those one's were from school. He lives in Midrand."
" Is it safe though? "
" It is. I wouldn't ask you to come here if it wasn't safe. It will be just us okay. I promise."
" Ok. We'll see you later then " We hang up and I sigh.
I scroll down then see Kwame's number. I stare at it for a while. Deciding if I should call him or not. I decide to not call him cause a part of me knows that if I hear his voice. I will break down and cry. I don't want that. I don't want to worry him. I will call him when I have settled. I hope Inga's building manager pulls through for me cause I really need this. I take my toiletry bag and decide to go shower and get ready.
" I thought you weren't going to finish " Inga says giving me my tea.
" Thank you I sit down."
" So I talked with the manager and all flats are occupied. I'm sorry. I really thought there might still be " Damn.
" It's okay. I guess I'll have to search online then."
" I'll help but in the mean time you can spend the night here but tomorrow my flat mate is coming. I don't want her to think I do this always when she's gone."
" I understand Inga. You don't have to explain." I drink my tea.
" Jabu what happened?. You still have finger marks on your cheek."
" We left where we were staying cause the situation was not good. We had to leave."
" Sometimes moving out and living on your own is the best option for you cause living with relatives can be hard and tricky. I'm sorry to hear that "
" Yeah it's okay. I just want my own place and have freedom."
" You'll get something " She says.
" Thando invited us to her boyfriends place to hang out. I told her I will come with you if you want to though "
" I would love too. When are we going? "
" I don't know. I think when she sends her location "
" Ok I'm going to look for my clothes while you shower. I'm so excited you know " she says flipping her wig. I chuckle. " I left some bread there. Make yourself something to eat."
" Thanks but I'm not really hungry. Maybe later "
" Ok, I'm going to look for something to wear since it won't stop raining " I nod and she leaves.
