Ireayomide's Pov
Ireti's House.

Been 2 weeks since I left the hospital, Aunty Ireti has been taking care of me. She took a break from work so she'd be able to take care of me. Am I happy? No I am not. Since I heard about what happened to Mummy, I've not gotten any sleep. And the fact that she's not allowed to see any visitor is stressing me out, at least that's what Aunty Ireti told me. I really want to see my mummy, I want to hug her. I miss her so much, she's in there because of me. I hate my life so much.
I stared at myself in the mirror and I was disgusted. I cleaned the tears from my eyes and left the bathroom. I sat on the bed and memories came to me. Memories of when I was younger, when it was only mummy and I. When we were happy together, no problems in our lives. I wish I could go back to that time. I was so deep in thought that I did not notice my aunty come in, all I felt was her hug.

" Oh my baby" She said as she hugged me and kisses my cheeks. " I love you so much baby, don't you ever forget that".

" I love you too aunty". I said. To be honest my aunty has tried alot, she has always been here for me since everything happened, she's not married though. It's been the two of us since. When I woke up in the  hospital 3 dys after the incident I thought Mummy had died cause whenever I ask Aunty Ireti for my mum she'd always change the topic not until 2 weeks ago when I overheard her talking to the lawyer about Mummy.

"Ire" she called bringing me back from my thoughts. " I came here to tell you that you've been admitted into the University of Abuja".

"But......" I was lost " I only remember writing Jamb, I don't remember processing any admission".

" I know baby, I hired someone to do the processing for you". She showed me the admission letter. " I've paid the school fees and done all the processing all you have to do is resume, by the way you'd be going from home here, I got you a driver already. He'd take you to school and bring you back". She kissed my forehead.

" It's States here that'd I'd be studying  psychology in the university, how did you know that I have always wanted to study psychology" I asked looking at the paper in my hand.

" It's on your Jamb slip and I asked your mother". She said " Will you get ready so we'd go school supplies shopping?"

"Ok Aunty" I said and my aunty left my room. I am indifferent about everything. I did not care. I already lost my will to live, right now I'm living for my Mummy and aunty.

I got up and went to change my cloth.

AMAKA'S POV.

Amaka's Apartment.

'Maka I'm going to the Hospital". Mummy said as she dropped the call. 'You don't need me here anymore, do you?"

"No Doctor PRECIOUS I do not." I said knowing it'd get to her.

"Lawyer Amaka would get her ass Whipped very soon" Mummy said. Yes I'm studying Law. I'm in my first year though, I'm in the university of Abuja, Mummy said to study here and go have my masters degree in the state.

"Mummy, call me when you get to the hospital." I said as I hugged my Mum. To be honest I want to sleep, I wanted to enjoy my new apartment, it's quite spacious and beautiful. Exactly how I like it.

"I will and please take care of yourself baby, I'll call you everyday and whenever you need anything call me". She said kissing my forehead. " Stay safe baby".

Mummy grab her purse from the couch and walked out the door, I saw her off and came back inside to change into a comfortable outfit of shorts and Tees.

I slept for 2 hours, woke up by 5:49PM, had my bath and decided to go get dinner, I wore a black cotton sweat pants and plain white tee shirt. I drove out to get food.

Can I cook? Well yes I can. Will I cook? No. Why? Cause I don't like Cooking. It's stressful I'd rather pay someone or buy food outside. I cook only when I feel like. I can buy food when I want to eat.

I got dinner of Rice and chicken sauce, Bought fruits too and I got a whole bowl of chicken. I love good food and it smells nice here.

I paid for my meal packed the meal and got into my car, I went straight back to my apartment. It was funny how the woman who sold food was looking at me strangely, She even used Sir for me, I get that a lot it's funny when people misgender me.. I go to places and people think I'm a boy, well I barely have boobs and I am about 6 ft tall. But then I'm still a girl.

I got back to my apartment, ate my meal, watched movie and I packed my black and white for class tomorrow. Like I said I am a law student so our dress code is black and white. So I'm wearing a black tailored pants and plain white tee shirt both ironed by the dry cleaner. My black tie too and shoes. My shoes might be a little on the masculine side but who cares. I placed my cloths on the cloth rack, went on ahead to have my birth and sleep.

Ireayomide's Pov.
First day of resumption.
5:05AM,
Monday, 9th September, 2021.

I switched off my alarm and sat on my bed. 4 months ago I would have said my prayers but now I do not believe in God or Mother nature. I thought they were to protect us whenever evil came by, I worship, praise and did everything dutifully as a child of a God. But no they sat down wherever they were and watch him hurt me. They did nothing, they just watched him. That's if they even exist.

I sighed and stood up to go have my bath.
Today is going to be a stressful day. Been a while since I have been around people aside the doctors and My aunty.

I don't know how well I'd handle it.

I had my bath, wore a black Jean trouser, a black tee shirt, white Nike with a black tote bag. My aunty picked out my fit, I really did not care how I showed up to Class, if it was up to me I'd wear a sweatshirt and a sweatpants.

I wore a black wristwatch Mummy got me for my 17th birthday and I wore a body spray to "smell good" as aunty would always say. Really I won't be able to walk out the door Without smelling nice.

I looked at myself in the Mirror with disgust in my face, I carried my tote bag and went to greet my Aunty. It's 6:45AM now. I saw her in the kitchen making Breakfast, she was almost through so we had breakfast together.

When I was through with my Breakfast, I carried my bag, my laptop in my hand and kept my phone in my pocket. When I got into the car I dropped everything. I left the house at 7:24AM.

We enter the front Gate at 8:10AM

Here goes nothing. I thought out loud.

That's the end of this chapter.
I hope y'all enjoyed it.
