Real Friends

I was cornered,I tried jumping but I was too tired to do so. I was just too tired.

Baki Larry spotted me, he immediately alerted one of his boys( Joe Spear). Spear was an enemy of mine. 

I gathered courage,and approached them . They were all in shock. Larry started telling me horrible stuff he'd apparently done with Bela, he told me he was still dating her.... And also told me to stay away.

I told him he was a liar right to his face, I knew this pissed him off but he told me he was going to let that slide. Then he said he would call me. I just left, shocked and confused . All this time Debaddest was waiting for me. I got on the bike and he rode me home.

As we got to BBC, Larry called. He told me everything he said about Bela was a lie, but they were still in a relationship.
Larry send me screenshot of their texts( the girl was playing me).I just jumped off the bike and walked to Bela's place Debaddest just kept watching like I was going crazy.
i didn't know what to do, Bela had played with me like i was toy,I felt soo angry and used.
I got there and started banging the door, again i had forgotten there was a bell.
A maid opened the door in shock and confusion . I pushed past her and entered the house, Bela and Whitney( the Achimota girl) were in the hall.
I didn't care, Bela asked me what was wrong. I asked if she was still in a relationship with Larry. I saw the question shocked her. The room went silent, for a second I thought I had made a mistake, then she started begging. So it was true!
I told her it was over and stomped out.

I didn't feel like going home, i just kept walking, i didn't know where i was going but i was in my hood.Bela kept calling me , texting me crazy too. 70 missed calls and my mom too started to call, i just turned off the phone.

It was 9:00pm when i went home. I even met Bomber and his boys but they didn't bother me. As i entered the house i saw Bela, she was with my mom talking in the hall. How did she find my house? I'd never brought her home.

i turned to leave and my mom followed me out. I heard Bela start crying. The drama was just too much
My mom started to beg me,telling me to hear Bela out. I had no say? If I didn't want to look like a jerk.

I entered the parlor and watched Bela's tear covered face. She told me she forgave Larry but she did not love him. She kept begging , I showed her the screenshots. She said her friend Whitney had convinced her to toy with him cause he had a lot of connections .
I was disgusted . I did not believe all her. My mom l left us together.
I just sat there thinking about everything, it was a lot and I had to admit I had serious feelings for her. Before I knew it, we were staring into each other's eyes, I don't know what happen but we kissed

.

We made out till 11:00pm, I had even forgotten I was home.
My dad entered the house, he was back from work. He looked at us in shock.
He put his suitcase down. Sat on the couch and asked me why i brought my girlfriend here that late in a tone that would make you know you had seconds to give the correct answer.

Was this happening ? How did he know ?. And why was he not beating me to death already ?

Dad and I took Bela and home . We dropped her off on our way my dad told me i had a beautiful girlfriend. I asked him how he knew and he told me my mom had told him. Mom said it was our secret!

The old man was not going to kill me? He just said I should try and  trust him more since I'm growing and he's the one with me most of the time.
When we got to the house i just went straight to sleep. I was damn tired and confused

Next morning, my phone kept buzzing.  Bela taught i lied about forgiving her because i hadn't checked up on her and was not replying her messages. I told her  I had just woken up., we talked about the Larry incident.
She said then said Larry was still worrying her. Honestly, this brought out a side I didn't even know existed. I had an idea.
I hurried to the bathroom to freshen up, had some of mommy's breakfast  . My mom said my friend Debaddest had brought my bike this morning. Mom gave me some money, said I should treat myself and my girl.

I took my bike and left to go look for Bomber. It wasn't hard to find Bomber and his boys. They were all happy to see me, like I was a part of the family now. Even Mixi too. We talked a little and i told them i needed their help. They were shocked cause they taught i was a good boy. I told them i needed them to beat someone for me. They laughed ( Mixi was really interested😂) I showed them Larry's pic from my phone and told them he normally played b-ball at my church.

They said they would cripple him and thinking about it now, I should have taken them seriously at that moment.

I gave them my number to call when they'd given the guy a good beating. It was like 5:00 pm when Bomber called me. He said Larry had been rushed to the hospital . They said they beat  him and his boys and I should consider it a discount.

I immediately started feeling guilty after they said hospital. I didn't even have time to feel enough remorse when Bela called me telling me her mom was waiting for me and she was home.
I gathered courage and rode my bike to go meet the woman again.
