CHAPTER 20

This is dedicated to bookworm4eyes, lysm. She's been a very supportive reader since she started reading.❤

"No please don't do this to me" I say in tears.

He came closer and pulled my shorts down I felt the cold air form the open windows on my exposed skin and it sent shivers up my spine.

"You can't do this Alex, I'll tell my mum" I say.

"If you tell anyone about this I'll kill Nathan" he says.

No not Nathan, I'd rather die than let Nathan lose his life he has done too much for me.

"You won't get away with this" I say.

He just shakes his head at me with a stupid grin plastered on his face.

He'll get away like he does every time. Isnt he tired of this this to me every now and then.

"Alex you are good for nothing idiot, bastard, fool"

"Naomi, Naomi" someone says shaking me violently.

I open my eyes to see Ruth.

"What's the matter?" I ask in confusion.

"I think you were having a bad dream" she says with concern evident in her voice.

"I was, it's one of those things don't worry" I say.

"Are you sure, you kept saying Alex. Did your nightmare have anything to do with him?" she asks.

"No, it must be the Alex in my class" I say quickly.

How I thought of that lie so fast, I don't know. I'm sha grateful.

"Alright, I'm going to shower. Mummy and Daddy are coming back today" she says getting up.

I feel a great sense of relief come over me. Finally, Alex will have to leave me alone now.

"Bye, get ready and come downstairs mummy said we should make jollof rice" she says the she leaves.

I close my eyes and rest my head back on my pillow as soon as she leaves the room.

It's like a cycle on the nights that Alex rapes me, I won't have a nightmare but the days that he doesn't I'll be sure to have one.

My sleep over with Ruth yesterday was so much fun, we ate so much snacks and I drank so much Fanta.

We played games like children we didn't sleep till like 4am. I smile at the memories.

I get up from my bed and head to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and bathe in no time at all.

When I come out of the bathroom I decide to check myself out in the mirror and what I see horrifies me.

I have lost so much weight. I'm not surprised as I can't remember the last time I ate real food, it's mostly plantain chips or chin chin.

I knew I would lose weight as those pills don't sit well with the food in my system.

If I take them and I eat as much food as I would love to, I'll end up throwing up.

So I either eat little portion or I don't eat at all.

Not everyone experience nausea when they take this drug but I'm one of the unlucky people who do.

I towel dry my body and put on my clothes then I head downstairs.
