I woke up later that evening with a throbbing headache. It felt as though my head would explode due to how heavy the headache was. I sat up on my bed and scanned the room but no one was inside. It was only me.

I rubbed my eyes tiredly before getting up fully to walk to the bathroom. After I was done washing my face, I went to my bed, took my phone from my bag, turned on the data connection and then clicked on the Facebook app.

As it opened, load of messages started intruding making my phone hang a little. I couldn't wait to see who had sent messages to me. Scratch that! I couldn't wait to see what message Benjamin had sent me. I sure as hell knew that he would send a message or messages. If he cared about me, then he would definitely drop a message or two.

Immediately, I clicked on my messages and my heart skipped a bit as I saw a message from him. I was happy seeing it though. I couldn't possibly be mad, even though I was hurt. Despite he had hurt me, my feelings for him was still intact if not stronger.

I clicked on his thread eagerly. It wasn't a message he had sent, it was messages. Wow, interesting! And he was online. Dang it! I shouldn't have clicked on it in the first place, but I couldn't back down now.

I began to read the messages.

Benjamin: Hey Ruby. What's the matter? Did I offend you in any way? Please if I have, tell me.

You didn't offend me, you hurt me!

Benjamin: Were you being serious when you said we were over? Please we can't break up now. It's not even been days since we dated talk more of weeks. When you said we were over, I felt like dying in that spot. I felt my heart shattered into pieces. Why do you wanna break up with me? What did I do? Please tell me.

A tear dropped down from my eyes as I remembered when he said he would defriend me and that he could never leave his best friends for anybody. To be factual, it really hurt.

Benjamin: Ruby, please forgive me if I did anything wrong. I can't even think straight again. Please don't do this to me. 😞 When you come online, message me please. Bye.

Oh Benji!

I wiped the tears that was already streaming down my face. I couldn't help but cry when I was reading his messages. For Benjamin to have written such messages, I knew he cared a lot. A pang of happiness engulfed me but it couldn't drive away the hurt that I was feeling.

Minutes had passed and I hadn't responded to his messages, rather I was chatting with other people. He was still online so he must have seen that I'd read it, probably he'd given up on finding out why I broke up with him.

A message barged in and it was him– Benjamin. I swiftly clicked on it and read it.

Benjamin: Ruby please reply my messages. 😭

I rolled my eyes and ignored it.

Minutes later, my phone started ringing indicating that I had a call. I looked at the caller ID and it was Benjamin. What does he want now? I left it to ring till the call ended. He called again, but still did the same thing. I didn't want to talk to him. My chest was paining me, due to how hurt I was. Seconds passed, then he called again but this time, I hesitated before answering his call. He wouldn't give up, would he?
