DEMONS YOU MADE

I woke up with a fright as I just had that ever so familiar nightmare. I felt restless. I needed my stuffs. I quickly ran to my cupboard to search for them. I checked in the bag I hid extremely hard ones. There was nothing. It's finished. No it can't be.

My fingers trembled, my whole body shivered. I needed the drug. I needed coke. I quickly searched for my phone, rubbing my nose and scratching my hair. I always did that when I needed drugs. I finally saw the phone where I charged it yesterday night. My brain was all muddled up. I searched through my contact list and called Zahrah. She didn't pick on the first, second,third and fourth ring. On the fifth ring, she picked. Seems like she was sleeping.

See the way yaa disturbing my sweet sleep. I swear to God, if not that you're my best friend. I would never have picked this call. So what's up?

Thank you Zahrah. But I think I might die this night.

Ahan ..how why? What happened? Issit that girl?? That ur mumu twin.

No. I need coke right now.

Jeez. Yours is finished.?

Yes. I just realized.

Babe, this is a very bad time to request it. See ehn it's late already, past midnight and even when it's morning it'll be impossible. Y'know what is happening in school naw. Authorities, students, drug traffickers? It's really bad. And our supplier, Zaga is no where to be seen. We can't just ask anybody
D'you want to be expelled?

No. But my life is at risk. I feel like if I don't get it in the next one hour, I'll die.

Gawd...I told you. You're addicted to this thing. You consume a lot of it. See me for example, I consume it but not to the point where it becomes my life.

Are you going to go all preachy on me or ya going to do your fucking job as my best friend and find a way to help me out of this shit.

No need to be violent. I'll help you. I'll try my best.

Thanks b.

Yeah, but you might have to sleep this night without it.

Ohmigawd.. I'll try. But if you find me dead tomorrow. I love you and tell my mom I love her soo much.

Don't be ridiculous. You love talking about death. You can't die okay? Not now. Not soon. Goodnight love

Goodnight Zahrah.

Somehow talking to Zahrah relieved me a bit. I have to sleep.

The next morning, I walked out of bed went to take my shower. Dressed in a blue jean and off shoulder Ankara top, I was set to go. I packed my full afro hair in a bun and styled the edges with gel. I flung my bag on my shoulders and rushed out of the room.

If you're wondering how I was able to sleep at night. I didn't. I couldn't. So I just made myself some coffee and took my notes to read. I couldn't understand a thing I read, I fell back to the bed crying. Watched a movie, arranged my wardrobe, lay on the bed and next thing I knew, it was morning.

"Neto where are you heading to? It's a Sunday" that was Vanessa

"Urhmm..I'm going to meet up with a friend of mine, my project partner"

"Alright. I just finished making stew by the time you're back, You can have your own food."

"Okay. Bye". With that been said, I left the apartment, hailed a Keke and I went to address Zahrah texted me that morning.
