The Velvet Rose

In order to be strong I must face my fears and pain is the tool to get me there

Chapter 11

This is the part of my life I call pain as we speak I'm in hospital doing a physiotherapy, because I'm recovering from five broken ribs, dislocated shoulder enough bruises and a broken heart. Well let's just say it did not go well for me and Abby and I have the scars to prove it. It's been seven months since the incident and I am a broken man, everything wrong has just happened to me it's like everything I wanted I just watched it slip away from my reach.

The day after she told me what happened I got an email from a firm that I applied for asking me to come for the interview the next day, a part of me should have just declined and let my mind be at ease, but I needed to get this Job. I made sure I called Abby and tell her I need to talk to her but she just ignored my phone calls and text messages. I was so furious that I was willing to do anything as my emotions were all over the place.

I was on the bus heading to the building for the job interview I made sure I had my best suit again no creases trying to look sharp but my mind was not where it needed to be. I just wanted to know why she did this and who does she want to be with. I Kept on trying to ring her but she did not answer at all I sent her messages she did not reply. My mind was not ready for this interview but before you know it, I was sitting on the reception waiting for my turn to go.

Chapter 12

The reception was bright but professional but you could tell, you was in a prestigious firm as it had all the certificates and gold Plack's on the wall decorated with all sorts of honours. With in an instance there was a man with a clip board in a black and white suite, Jeremy Redington can you step into the office, I walked behind him making sure I'm not too close. I stepped into the office and there was a huge executive table and behind the table was three middle aged white men, who told me their names and their position within the firm. I was nervous as hell my mind was still focused on Abby but I was trying to sell myself.

After 15 minutes of trying to sell myself enthusiastically they looked at me and said that they will consider my request and keep in touch. In other words I failed the interview and they will not be calling me back. There I was pissed as hell I just lost my job opportunity and Abby is gone she hasn't answered my calls. The anger and pain got to me I started to have crazy thoughts, my mind was in a state of shock.

Next thing I know I was outside Abby door and I was knocking the door aggressively screaming her name, before you know it I see him and Abby come to the door, he was a massive well built guy you can tell he lifts weight and stuff. He was in a black vest top with blue jeans he looked African and he turned to Abby saying "abenna is this the idiot that's been calling you?" She looked at him and said "yeah Femi" like she has clearly chosen him. He looked at me and said "no wander you left him, he is a such a waste man" I looked at him and said "FUCK YOU BITCH" and before you know it I punched him.

*I take it you now know why I am in hospital going for my physiotherapy sessions*

*I should have seen this Jeremy but we was blind*
