DEMONS YOU MADE

35✓✓

Valerie.

I woke up with a fright. I checked around for my phone, it was on my bed. 22:10pm.. the time read. Gosh it's so late. How long have I been sleeping? I decided to clean up my room, so I got down and turned the lights on. I was beyond surprised to see the whole room spotless. The blood stains, the broken glasses, the powder, the clothes were neatly piled. Like ..it was too clean.

But the question was...who did it? I really hope it wasn't Nessa if not she'd make me feel indebted to her and I hate that feeling. I suddenly remembered I hadn't taken my bath since yesterday. I rushed into the bathroom and took a hot shower. I needed to clean myself thoroughly ...to wash the dirt off and maybe wash my sadness off....I wish.

When I got out of the shower, I saw Nadia on my bed clicking away on her phone. I went to my wardrobe and took out a short flared white gown. It had a thin spaghetti strap.

"Didn't you see me? Or you just pretended not to?" She asked me.

"What are you doing here? Didn't you see the time? Or you just pretended not to?" She looked at me her mouth agape.

"You love doing this don't you? Pushing everyone away? Unfortunately, I'm not one to be pushed away, I do the pushing. So I'm here to stay. You better drop your silly sassy attitude and get your sad ass here" she commanded. I rolled my eyes at her but still did her bidding.

"Now talk. What happened? 'cause MJ called me here, saying you needed company and you were sad. He even told me he cleaned up your room but he said I shouldn't tell you....oops"

"But you just did. Well, I'm not sad. I just woke up from sleep and was about getting some more before you showed up."

"Too bad then 'cause you're getting no sleep. Let's talk"

"I have nothing to talk about"

"No...you do. You're like my best friend. So you should tell me everything bothering you. Don't you think so?"

"I won't 'cause best friends don't hide anything from each other but you always hide your pain when it comes to things related to Alex."

"That's because Alex is a part of me I would rather not remember or even talk about" she yelled. I need to keep my emotions in check. I have no idea why Malik would call her here. I just wanted to cry myself to sleep tonight.

"My past is also a part of me I dread talking about so let's forget it." I told her.

"I'm sleeping over. Goodnight" she said and turned her back to me on the bed.

Fuck?!! I don't wanna lose my best friend now.

I received a text from my phone. It was Nadia. But why would she text me when we're on the same bed.

I'm sorry I tried to force to talk. You weren't ready and I should have respected that. I don't want us fighting so I had to do this. Goodnight my Choco beauty 🤎❤️

-Naddy ❤️📌

I smiled. This girl is one hell of a crazy person. I tucked myself in and kept thinking of one person.

Malik.

"Babe, it's Sunday naw. Make we chop rice?" Nadia said. We were still contemplating on what to eat. She slept over and was still in my house. Y'know the funny thing, she came prepared with her small travel bag, containing a few clothes, her makeup kit, toiletries and three shoes. I wonder where she's going.
