My phone's alarm rang and I woke up, the room was quite bright than I expected it to be.
I sat up from the bed looking around and seeing Edward laying on the bed fully dressed as if waiting for som...
"Barney" He cut into my thought as he turned and saw that I was awake.
"You dey okay at all?" He asked.
I nodded.
"You sure?," He asked again... "Na im you come sleep since yesterday till this morning"
Wait what? I turned to look at him in shock
"Yesterday?" I asked in total shock and disbelief.
He looked at me with an eye brow raised "You no go talk wetin dey do you"
I didn't want to believe that I slept almost twenty four hours! I turned to where my phone was and checked the date and Edward was rig.... I paused.
Something else on my phone caught my attention, I saw three missed calls from Vicky and a text message.
I slowly typed the password into my phone to access the message..
As I was about to open the message I heard someone else walk in from our kitchen..
I looked up to see Jasmine holding a tray with some plates containing food.
"Good morning sleepy head" she smiled as soon as our eyes met.
I nodded and tried to smile back then turned my gaze back to my phone.
All these while my heart was pounding..
As I opened the message, it began like this..
"Hey Dad, first of all, I want you to know that I am sorry. I know you'd not forgive me but I really don't mean to hurt you with what I'm about to say"
I paused reading and sat well on the bed, my heart beating even faster.
I continued reading.. "my mum had already decided that I come today" I stopped again to look at the date the message was sent and it was yesterday!!!
My heart wasn't beating this time, it was jumping and punching my chest.
I slowly went back to look at the message as it kept horrifying me.
"I didn't want to tell you but somehow you figured and I know you would find it difficult to say good bye if you saw me going, that's why I didn't tell you that my mom had sent my senior brother today to come pick me and Infact, as I'm typing this text, I'm in his car going back home with all my belongings." I froze in utter shock, pain, anger and so many unexplainable emotions. This is a joke right? I asked myself, I shook my head several times to maybe wake up or something but it was real, every thing was real!
I turned my gaze back to my phone's screen to continue reading the message.
"I knew for sure that I would not have been able to say goodbye to you to your face so I decided to leave without you knowing and for what we had yesterday and today, I want you to know that I really loved you and that you deserved what I gave you." My hand shook as I continued reading.
" One favor I want you to do for me is to move on, I'd be going overseas after the burial and we are likely never gonna see ever again. So move on like I would as soon as I leave the country " At this point, my body was literally shaking all over as if I was going to convulse but I kept reading the message.." I know you'd try to call or text me but I know that if I let you still have contact to me, you may not want to move on so after this message, I'd call to ask if you've seen it and then I'd throw away my sim card so you or anyone around you can never reach me again." I stopped realizing that I was rushing all through the message.
I saw the last sentence which I slowly and fearfully read(red) hoping it was a joke.
" Just know that what we had was real and I did love you, Your Vicky".
No, this got to be a dream, or a joke, she's probably joking right?
I tried dialing her number and it said that the number no longer existed..
I tried several times,already beginning to sweat.
"The number you've dialed does not exist, please check the number and di..."
"Noooooooooooooooooo!" I screamed throwing my phone at the wall.
Edward and Jasmine jumped up from eating in fright.
"Guy, wetin dey sup?" Edward asked looking at me in surprise..
I jumped from the bed and knelt down losing it all, the self control, the maturity, the pain, the tears...
So many thoughts began to rush into my head.
Where was I going to start from. This could not be the ending of us, after all we've been through together and all our fights and second chances, why this kind of ending!
I couldn't talk, I knelt there crying like a baby with Jasmine and Edward trying to help me pull myself back together.
I really loved Vicky, I was scared of getting hurt so I never showed it till this time but still she just dumped me like I was a book she had finished reading.
I don't know how much or hard I cried that day, but I know it was terrible that I passed out.
