Chapter eight

Hey guys......................................

ZOEYA'S POV
I woke up feeling exhausted due to yesterday's events. I looked at my alarm and found out it was 9:am. I slumped back to my bed and stared at the white coloured ceiling. I couldn't sleep until 2:am last night or should I say morning. I kept tossing around and thought if I should have followed Mufeedah or I did the right thing by staying. I was about to go to the bathroom when my phone rang. It was Mia calling.

"Hey". I said after picking up the call.

"How are you?. Heard what happened. Is everyone okay?". She asked. It seems like mum called her.

"I don't know. I just woke up". I said plainly.

"I'm coming over". She hung up.
I know dad wont be pleased about that but right now I don't think that's my problem. I stood up and walked to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth and washed my face. My face looked disorderly and my hair which was beautiful yesterday looked like a bird's nest. I walked out of the bathroom and grabbed a rubber band from one of the drawers which I used to pack my hair into a messy bun. I grabbed my phone and placed it into the pocket of my pajamas.
I walked downstairs and found the house utterly quiet. I went into the kitchen and found the cook preparing some yam porridge.

"Good morning Lisa". I said to the cook. She was a woman in her early forties. She was dark and fat, she waddled like a duck as she walked.

"Good morning dear. Hope you slept well?". She asked me smiling over the pot of boiling yam porridge.

"Yeah. Where is mum?". I asked cause it was strange to see her Cook since mum could do it.

"She's upstairs. She doesn't want to do anything or eat anything.". She said adding some more spices to the food.
I nodded as I grabbed a coke and a bag of Chip.

"Are you not eating?". She asked me.

"No. But don't worry Mia is coming over". I said as I left the kitchen back to my room. As I headed to my room I found out Bibah's room was locked. I guess she was out. Bibah was still in her two hundred level in the university. She goes from home since it was not very far from school. I went to my room and ate the chip and coke. I didn't have much appetite so I kept the leftovers on my bedstand. I picked up my phone and called the hospital reporting that I wouldn't be coming in for some days. One good thing about my Incharge is that she can be lenient at times, though I'll pay back the days I missed. When I was through I took a shower and threw on a pink tank top and an ash sweatpants. I picked up my iPad and played some Ed sheeran songs. I closed my eyes and listened to the music when my phone vibrated.

"Hey". I said. It was Fariyah.

"Baby you okay?". She asked. Fariyah was a smart person and she sensed when something was wrong with me.

"Yeah. Can you come over?". The truth was that I really needed her. I needed a shoulder to cry on. I was tired of being everyone's shoulder.

"Okay". She said and hung up. I inhaled a sharp breath.

FARIYAH'S POV
Zoe left the party last night without informing me. I felt bad cause I thought she would at least texted me but on the other hand Zoe was not the type of person who leaves without saying goodbye and that was when I knew something was wrong. I tried calling her immediately I left the party and through the sound of her voice I knew all was not well and besides she asked me to come over considering the fact that she is a workaholic she never misses work. I drove to dominos and bought a jumbo sized ice cream with some pizza.
I am knocking presently on her front door but no one is answering so I entered and made my way straight to her room upstairs.
I opened the door and met my best friend laying on her bed thinking, unaware of my presence.
