Chapter 3

As soon as I arrived home I threw my bag on the bed, striped my clothes and rushed in for the bathroom, the heat of the weather was killing me.

I stepped out of the bathroom while rubbing my hair then I slipped in my pyjamas not giving it a second thought, plunged on to bed scrolling through my feed and suddenly lots of messages came barging in my notification bar.

It was a group named, 'squad' and I could see Jacob's number with other unknowns I added them with the name and I was halted when it came to that number, Aron's, Should I save it or leave it just as it it.

I threw my phone back to bed, tired of where my life has taken me and how its toturing me by repeating the pain I've been trying to forget and heal, but sometimes in order to heal you have to confront your problems not run away from them. I remember those words clearly from nanna whom I stayed with in london.

Then the memories came flooding in,

3 years ago

"Are we there yet, dad?", I asked sweetly, while sitting in the back seat of the newly bought red sedan, it was mom's birthday and we were going to her favorite cake store to buy the pre-ordered cake, to supprise her, jacob decorated the house before mom came home from a getogether and dad and I went to get the cake.

"Almost there hun", he says as he drives faster, his face drenched with sweat, "is something the matter dad", I ask worriedly, He had this uneasy aura settling beside him.

"Everything's alright!", He snaps.

I nod, before blinding lights headed our way, and I screamed, "watch out!", but it was too late, all I could remember was our car being toppled down the highway, hit by a big container vehicle and I had blacked out.

I could still remember glimpse of light and nurses rushing me to the Operating room, and I blacked out again.

Once I regained consciousness, I had this incurable trauma for months, dad had already woken up from a coma and normalizing. then mom thought it was best for me to go to nana's place in london where mom's mom live.

I went there and got into rehab immediately, it helped me, it did and we decided that I'd complete my diploma in london, it was then I met Aron, in my class, communicating with his friends, it was love at first sight.

He was the one to speak first, "you got a pen?", he questions while combing his hair back with his fingers, i nod and gave him the best pen in my case, and it all escalated there with us talking in classes to exchanging our numbers and talking all the time.

From phone calls to jet skiing and kissing, our relationship did escalate really fast.

But it was the day before I had to go home back in states, when we were making out, one thing led to another and he wanted have sex with me, but I disagreed, because i wasn't just ready, i wanted to give my first time to the person i love but i was just too scared.

The very next moment he got a phone call, using that as an excuse he left, he never used to leave even if he was needed at work, and I couldn't reach him later, and he didn't call me back either, which all added up.

He was just using me to get what he wants and when he couldn't have it, he dumped me.

Present

Tears prick the corners of my eyes as i remeber the memories while back, it broke me all the way, and I can't help but feel broken again, reliving those memories.

With these thoughts, I drift to sleep soon later.
