Brandon
My mother was staring at me all the time, I felt bad, maybe she expects me to have a word about my actions earlier. That was after my meal, I cleared my throat before I could say a word
Monica: I came home because I heard about Brandon sudden change
Mother: So you believe it was a good idea?
Monica: No mother
Mother: You were talking about the presentation, what are you going to do with it?
Monica: I will be leaving first thing in the morning to catch for my classes
Mother: You are not leaving, we are going to town tomorrow
Monica: Oh okay
Mother: What's happened for your body weight?
Monica: Is this the reason you been shocked like you have seen a ghost?
Mother: You can't blame me
Monica: That was too much for me, I even felt discomfort before you
Mother: You blame me
Monica: I just gained a little
Mother: You really do love this guy don't you?
Monica: I really do Mother
Mother: I would still advice you to not give your all because I don't want to see you in miserable because of heartbreaks
Monica: He will never hurt me intentionally, I knew him for the whole of my life
Mother: You knew him as a friend you never experienced him as your boyfriend so you don't know what he is capable of, you can love wholeheartedly but it doesn't mean you won't get hurt, you know how deceiving boys can be
Monica: What are you implying mother?
Mother: With this new path he took you know too well that everything is possible, he can be a dump and do unknown things that might take away all your focus and hurt your feelings
Monica: He will change
Mother: How certain are you with that?
Monica: He is sorry I could see that
Mother: How was your talk with him?
Monica: We didn't talk, I slapped him few times ( I cringed)
Mother: This is so unlike you, you were never so handful
Monica: I don't even know what has gotten into my head
Mother: You should go and apologies, it is not the right thing to do Monica!!
Monica: I won't apologize, it will make him feel like he did right, to feel like all his actions are the right thing to do
Mother: That's not how you should deal with a matter, what if he decides to press charges now
Monica: You just overthinking mother
Mother: I am just trying to show you that the action you took was wrong
Monica: Maybe you are right
Mother: Have a goodnight my baby girl
Monica: Why are you all this supportive?
Mother: You are old now so I won't be against what you want
Monica: Thanks mother
She switches off the light as she vacates, I stare at the roof trying to let the event of my day to sink in. Later I heard something sounded like a stone thrown on the roof, I got off the bed and went to check on my window, I slide the curtain. He waved at me and call up for me. I went to him using the back door.
Monica: What can I do for you Brandon?
Brandon: Baby I want to apologize, I apologize for who I became, it was one of my weakest so I got an opportunity to go out at the party so that's when I started drinking, it was a crazy night and I even lost my phone. I made friends so I just started to hang with them, That is how I lost touch with you and I am sorry for that, I am sorry for being this person I am today and I promise to change only if you don't leave me, we came too far together so don't let this tear us down. I love you so much and your presence here show's me that you love me a lot. I was a dump to think that you have changed that you are being disloyal to me please don't walk away from me, I need you and I am truly sorry
Monica: ( Brandon was truly serious his expression was really showing it all from the corner of his mouth turned to frown and his eyebrows scrunched together) what do you mean you thought I was cheating on you?
Brandon: You were distant Monica
Monica: I noted that but it doesn't give you a right to be running bar to bars
Brandon: I am not blaming you for my mistake, Monica, I take responsibility for everything
Monica: I don't know Brandon, I miss you so hard and as much as I miss you, I needed you and you were far away, hearing you say you miss me daily made me feel guilty that I left you here alone, I struggled to cope with everything cause I needed you right next to me. It has always been the two of us so think about it, this time around it was me alone in that new environment, I had to adjust to the situation you know how shy I am. You know all my weakest but you weren't there to keep me strong, I hate this long-distance of us I need you right now Brandon
Brandon: I am right here for you Monica
Monica: No you are not!!! I want you right now!!!
Brandon: As in now?
Monica: ( His eyes widened up with surprise-filled his face, I felt somehow, it seems like he doesn't miss me as I do) Not in that way I just mean I missed you that all goodnight
( He called my name as I vacate, I ignored him. I got to my room and cried all my sorrows as I was busy crying the door opened, I check it was him. I could see him in the darkness, he came and joined me on my bed and wrapped his hands over my body. I had no powers to tell him to leave, just as much as I missed him I couldn't even kiss him or do something romance now. I feel angry at him and hurt so I just dozed off in his arms.
The following morning when I turn I found space it means he is left, I felt so disappointed because I was craving to make love to him. Some cravings I had recently and because he wasn't there I would push it hard to get over that so I thought I would meet my needs today. Well, it means he is gone. I heard a knock I rushed to the door hoping it was him cause I was so ready for him, all my smile, hoping for the impression I opened the door, You should've seen my face when I get disappointed for finding my mother on my doorstep. She told me I should bath because we are going somewhere, I asked if we are going to the town she said "no we are going somewhere", that left me with so many questions. Suddenly I felt nausea, I took a seat on the bed to listen to my self carefully and I suddenly felt an urge to vomit. My queue to the bathroom, I have been having thoughts that I might be pregnant but I would never mind that. I took a bath and went out with my mother, to my surprise we went to the clinic.
Monica: Mother what are we doing here?
Mother: It is just for the confirmation
Monica: What...
Mother: To check if you are pregnant if you are not you will go for family planning
Monica: But that's not fair, you can't be deciding for me without talking with me first
Mother: I thought we are talking
Monica: To me, it seems like you have already taken a decision that is why we are here
Mother: It doesn't matter anymore cause all the signs that you are pregnant are there
That made me keep my mouth shut, all the signs that you are pregnant are there, I thought I am the only one who noted. Am I pregnant? The queue for testing wasn't long cause it was early in the morning, I got tested and I was pregnant. I wasn't shocked ever since it always crossed my mind. On our way home my mother was quite the journey was filled with silence, we finally reached home. I found polo occupied the parking space of his place, they were four gents but I just recognized two from the crew he was with yesterday. They had their music playing too loud that took the whole neighborhood's attention. He got out of the house and went to the car, his eyes met mine, his face was filled with a guilty, I just stood there watching wondering what will happen. If his words were meant then I believe that's his queue to reject the offer they make. I saw him going back to the house having those guys whining at him. I felt excitement taking over as I go to the house but I remembered what if it's for today only because I am here staring at him, Brandon should grow.
