DEMONS YOU MADE

Valerie

Why would he do that? After my last sexual encounter that made me go crazy, the cause of my numerous tragic nightmares, I've always detested any slight touch or contact from the opposite sex. They're all scums.

Although I know it's not right, I don't plan on being single all my life, the shit sucks. But still,I don't see myself adjusting anytime soon. Why would he peck me? Why?

I pushed the whole crazy thought out of my head and rushed over to Nadia's car. Once I got there, I tapped on the driver's window where she was seated.

She unlocked the car and I opened the door engulfing her in a warm hug as she cried her eyes out. I patted her back as she cried on.

"It's okay baby. Let it all out. All of it. Let 'em all out" I told her still patting her. She soon stopped crying minutes later and she withdrew from the hug. I looked into her eyes, they looked worn out and tired.

"What happened between you two....... again?!"

"What's that supposed to mean? Again? When I was dancing with that guy, I saw Alex in the VIP section. He was staring at me, more like glaring. I ignored him and kept dancing. When I couldn't take the glares any longer, I walked up to the VIP section, I fought with the bouncers to let me in. He made me disgrace myself before he finally told them to let me in. When I got in, I asked him why he was glaring at me, people had already began to gather around due to the scene I created earlier. I was so angry, I yelled at him, I screamed. You know what he did? ...he did absolutely nothing, he didn't say a word. He made it feel like I was mad or he didn't know me or something. Later on, he said I was looking for unnecessary attention. I slapped him, I think that switched on his demon mode cos the next thing I knew he grabbed me by my arm and pulled me closer to him, after looking me in the eye. He threw me on the lounge he was sitting on earlier."

"What?? He did that? Was he violent? I'm gonna chop his balls off and feed 'em to the dogs. Why would he do that?"

"He wasn't violent, he simply wanted to keep away from him but ended up throwing me. I yelled at how stupid he was and how much of a mistake he was to me. He lost it and said so much to me. Valerie, he said he wished he never met a psycho like me. He said I wasn't meant for the likes of him. He said I was the most selfish, unreasonable and worst girlfriend anyone could ever have. He said I was never understandable as a friend. He said I always think I'm right. I never accept being wrong. He said so much... Valerie..so much. I'm beginning to feel he's right about me. Y'know no one ever knew me like he did. He's being my best friend for five years or more. Since high school. For him to have said such things...I just...I just hate myself." She sobbed more. I couldn't help but feel for her. I drew her closer to me.

"Babe, I told you then...hear this nigga out but you wouldn't listen. I'm not taking sides here but I'm just being reasonable. You both don't deserve all these. He's hurt, who knows maybe even more than you are. Don't you wanna hear him out? Don't you miss him? Nadia, even if you don't know, its pretty much obvious you do. So why not hear him out ? Huh?" She looked like she was battling with her emotions.

"Of what use is that gonna be? It's too late. We've broken up and he hates me already. You need to have seen his eyes. They held so much hatred for me. I wish I heard him out. I really wish..." She muttered the last part but I heard her.

"But Nad---" I started

"Valerie. I don't wanna hear anything anymore. I just wanna go home, rest my head and think. So hop in or better still, I'd leave you " I sighed in defeat. I went to the passenger seat and sat as she drove out of the bar premises.

The ride was a very quiet one. No one said a word. She was hitting the steering wheel constantly and sobbing silently. My face was turned to the window, looking at the faces of the passers-by. Some had sad faces, some happy and smiley, some had a gloomy and tired look, others just had an impassive expression. Life was just fucked up and it's messing everyone in it up.
