Confessions

DAY 12

I took a sick leave today at school. I was sober and sick. I couldn't even think about yesterday. Love brought me home and called my mom when she found out my temperature wasn't going down. Her mom gave me meds but I still felt sick. Love tucked me in bed and went to school. I slept for a long period of time. I woke up to check the time 6:56pm. I found missed calls and text messages. I wore my glasses and sat up. My head was banging. Oh alcohol is bad. I made my way to the toilet where I sat on the closet. I was easing myself. I still wanted to throw up. My mom opened my door and came in.

"Oh Dear, you slept all through the day, I was scared you would die of hunger."

She placed a tray of food neatly on my bed. I came out and lay down on the bed.

"Mama, I am not feeling well at all." I say about to cry. Partly because I was thinking of Christain. Why him. Why Christain.

"Oh baby." She said and held me. Stroking my hair.  "Mama's here. Mama's gat you"

With that, I slept again. I didn't eat for the whole day. I was up again to check the time. 7:39am.

DAY 11

I got up and realized I actually felt better. My tummy growled ... hungry. I made my way downstairs to find mom in the kitchen.

"Good morning mama"

"Morning sunshine ☀️, how are you feeling?"

"Better Mama, I'm really hungry"

"Then sit, Super mom is here to save the day" She jokes and I chuckled.

She served me scrambled eggs and bread with orange juice. She also brought a pill and I took it without questioning. I was swallowing the meal like my life depended on it.

"You know Love's mother called, told me about the party." She came closer

Now I felt like I betrayed my mom's trust.

"Mama..." I started.

"Shh, just eat and listen okay?"

I nodded.

"I love you okay? And I'm glad you went to the party and discovered what hangovers looked like. I am allergic to alcohol and I figured, so are you. So if you had told me you were going to a party, I would have told you not to drink. Now do not mention this to your father. I wouldn't want him to find out about this okay?"

I nodded

"Good girl. Now I'm going to work. Freshen up and stay indoors okay? You'll resume school tomorrow "

"I love you too mama" I said as I finished my breakfast.

"Love dropped by yesterday and this morning too. She sends her love"

"Yes mama"

**********************

Upstairs, I was thinking of Christain and how I have just 10 more days to save his life. I haven't really done anything useful in this past four days. Than get to know him and be humiliated in front of people by him. Maybe this task is too much for me. Maybe I can't do it. I lay down still for about 4hours and finally got up to have my bath. I was in a towel when My tummy growled.

Feeling hungry?

I sighed and went downstairs. I was just about to prepare lunch when my phone rings. My eyes  nearly pops out of their sockets when I see Christain's name on the screen. I don't even remember saving it.
