He's back and he wants Revenge

Chapter thirty two

Adesuwa POV

The blinding lights were the first I saw when I opened my eyes and it was killing. I quickly shut my eyes and tried again this time extremely slow, when my eyes had gotten adjusted to the light and I had taken in details of my environment.....of course, I was in a hospital.

I tried sitting up and the pain in my wrist shoot up causing me to gasp, what the hell! I noticed the white bandage wrapped around my wrist. I watched it with disgust, uncertainty, confusion, I was supposed to be dead.....I know I cut it really deep, so how come I'm still alive, I was angry, I wanted to end everything....

The door pushed open and a tired looking Tony walked in, his tie was loose, his hair look rough...like he had run his hands through it out of frustration. His light blue long sleeve shirt was stain with blood looking rumpled and some buttons were at the wrong place, some were unbuttoned and that was really rare considering him being the head boy and the well dressed type.

He looked up and our eyes locked, my heart skipped a beat at the intensity of it, he broke the eye lock begrudgingly and moved his eyes down to my wrist which I tried to hide under the cover.

He sighed taking his eyes off the wrist " I will get the doctor, your mum and Mr Cletus" he said avoiding my eyes and then walked out of the ward leaving me guilty.

Few minutes later the doctor, my mum and Mr Cletus arrived after checking me, he told us I'll be free to go by tomorrow but I should be on bed rest in my school clinic,  he stared at my wrist then shook his head and left.

"Adesuwa" she called moving towards my bedside with tears in her eyes.

Mr Cletus and Tony quietly left the room to give us space.

"Mummy" I replied already feeling guilty, I couldn't bear to see the woman who carried me in her stomach for nine months and went through labor cry in front of me.

"What have I done to you, do you want to bring shame to the family, do you want me to bury you just like I did with your brother. Dealing with the death of your father, sister and twin brother is it not enough for me?" she stopped and cleaned her face  with her hand as I soak in everything......why did I make that crazy mistake?

"Don't you know that anyone who takes their life goes straight to hell?"

"Mummy" I burst out into tears as I hugged her and began to tell her about everything that had happened since resumption. When I was done, she was angry and was sympathetic but most of all disappointed that I had a boyfriend and almost took my life because of him. Opening up to someone made me feel like a great baggage was lifted off my shoulders, I felt really free. That pressing feelings on my chest was gone.

"Do you want to leave the school? I can take you out, don't worry about the money to find a new school for you, I'll try to borrow money from my sister or maybe your father's brother"

Hearing her mention someone from my father side, I shook my head instantly. I can't let my mom stoop so low to beg from them.

"Adesuwa, know that I'm always here for you, you can talk to me when you have something troubling you. If you feel like I won't understand since I'm not part of your generation, you can talk to Efo or Eso and if you feel like they are to Young to understand, talk to your friends like Chioma and what's that his name again?"

"Is it Tony?"

"Yes him. I don't want this to repeat itself, I don't want to die of  high BP and not reap the fruit of my labour. I will not sow and someone else will come and reap, God forbid, it will not happen" she stood up retying her wrapper " let me go and make something for you to eat" she said and left.
