The doctor said I should inform her relatives and who am I going to call if not Mark.
I’ve been trying to call him but his phone is switched. I have no slight idea on how I’m going to begin telling him.
How is he going to take the news?
What about Florence? Gush, I feel sorry for the two of them.
“I’ll drop here. ” I said to the cab driver who st©pped the in front of a sto-rey building. I open the door and step out. Everything is just revolving round and round like it’s not going to st©p.
Arriving in front of our house, I sigh seeing that the door is unlock. Someb©dy is at home and it’s definitely not Mirrah or Florence.
I slowly push the door open and walk inside to see Mark walking down the staircase carrying a lunch box.
“It’s a good thing you’re home. ” He said climbing down the staircase. I smile sadly, he should have known that something isn’t right with me but Mark is someone who doesn’t care about my happiness or sadness.
“I parked some lunch for Lillian and I won’t be home for dinner today. ” He said adjusting his bow-tie. He’s looking all smart, today must be a special day for the two of them but, she’s alre-ady dead.
Mark has never, not even once park lunch for me when I was sick and sometimes, he even forget to visit me at the hospital but, here he is ma-king arrangements for someone who’s alre-ady dead.
“Whatever you guys discussed, we’ll talk about it later. ” He said and took a step forward.
“What’s wrong? ” He noticed. For the first time he noticed my sad mood.
I raised my head to look at him.
“I’m sorry Mark. ” I place my hand on my mouth as I could not control the tears that roll down.
“What are you sorry about? ” His eyes are getting red.
“Lillian is….., she’s…., Lillian is DEAD! ” I said and he falls to the ground.
“What did you say? ” I turn to see Florence and just then Mirrah walks in.

“What did you say? ” Mom turn facing Florence.
What is going on?
Why is Dad on his knees in tears?
“I’m sorry Florence. ” Mom walk closer to t©uçh her but she flings her hand away.
“You’re lying right? Dad, she’s not telling the truth! Mom can’t be dead right Dad?! ” She cried but Dad didn’t even utter a word as he rush upstairs and Mom ran after him.
“Mom! Why did you leave me! ” She said crying on her knees. I wanted to just walk away to my room and pretend as if none of these is happening after all, I’ve never met her her Mom and besides, she was the one that wants to ruin my family so, I should be grateful to God for taking our problem away..
But, I find myself kneeling next to Florence. Maybe Mom is right, maybe it’s true that Florence is just as innocent as myself and I shouldn’t hate her because of her mother’s mistakes.
I hvg her from behind while she continue crying.
“She’s gone Mirrah. My Mom is gone. ” She said crying.
“Shhhhhhh! We’re here for you. ” Palming her hair just like how Mom used to do to me.

“I want to help with the funeral. ” I said standing by the door while he’s sitting on the be-d.
“You don’t have to concern yourself with any of these. ” He said and I scoff.
“Of course I don’t want to concern myself with your cheating life but Lillian was nice till the very end. She kept apologising to me for the ins-en-sitive mistake you made! Of course I want you to deal with your problems alone but Lillian deserve better. “I said. Hissed and left the room.
I’m only getting involve because it’s Lillian and because she died right in front of me. I only want her to rest in peace. I feel guilty alre-ady.

It’s past 11pm and I’m still awake, I walk out of my room to get myself a glas-s of water when I saw a lady dressed in nightie and is wearing a headnet sitting on the counter inside the kitchen sipping from a cu-p. I wonder what’s inside the content.
“And, you are? ” I asked walking towards the fridge. I’m not freaked at all because I know very well that she’s one of his who-res but I never knew he has gotten to the stage of bringing them home.
“Oh. Hi J. ” She climb down the counter.
“I’m Gina. Your dad’s… ”
“Seriously?! Ain’t you ashamed of yourself at all? Tell me, how did he pay you for you to stoop this low to follow him home? I thought girls have self respect?! ” I fired at her. She smile halfly.
“I am going to let this pas-s J but next time,… ”
“St©p talking as if we know each other. Let me just advise you, you’re not going to last long and just like the other women, he’s going to dump and forget you. “I said and walk out of the kitchen.

…
It’s past three days now and Florence hasn’t got hold of herself, I don’t blame her though, she keep regretting every second she failed to spend with her mom in the hospital.
“You were right Mirrah, I was ins-en-sitive. ”
She had said to me in tears earlier this morning.
I chose to stay with her till after the funeral and I’ll resume school but Im not sure if she’ll be okay after the funeral but I do hope she will.
Mom and Dad are out so I was home alone with her who has refused to p@rticipate in anything fun and she wouldn’t st©p crying. Dad, even refused to take her to the mortuary to see her Mom’s b©dy.
After mixing the cu-p of tea, I place it on a tray and put 5slice of bre-ad beside it then took it to the dinning where I’m supposed to meet her but she’s not here. I glance around not seeing her.
I sigh and climb up to her room to see her tearing pictures all over the ground with a scissor. I can see the resemblance.
I bent down and pick up two half pieces and place it side by side to make whole.
“She’s pretty. “I said to myself.
“Put that away. “She instruct me tearing throu-gh another picture with the scissor in her hand. I drop the picture in half back on the ground and sit next to her on the be-d.
“You shouldn’t be doing this. “I said staring at the pictures on the ground.
“They all lied to me. You know I asked her, I asked her why she was sick and she told me that it was because of work and that she’ll get better. She didn’t tell me she was having cancer and will be dying. “She said in tears.
Maybe she has the right to be mad but the truth is, no loving parent will tell their child that what they’re throu-gh and I want to believe that’s the case of Ms. Lillian.
“She’s just thinking of protecting you. “I said and she chuckles in tears.
“Protecting me? Mirrah, that’s not how to protect someone you love and care about. You fell them the truth so they can prepare for the worst. “Another round of tears start to roll down her cheeks.
I don’t know what to say anymore, she must be the kind of person who hate lies and deceit and one has to be careful in dealing with people like her.
“Your tea will get cold. “I changed the t©pic.
“Thanks. “She l@yon the be-d. “…but I’m not hungry. “And she turn her face to the wall. I do not want to upset her so I left her alone.

“Do we have a problem J? “He ask me the moment he walks in with his girlfriend behind him. Her stay in here is starting to irritate me seriously.
“We won’t have any if you just park your bags and return to Africa. After all, that’s your home.”I said and stand up to leave.
“Such thing is not going to happen. “I st©p on my track and turn to him.
“I am never leaving you again, J. I’m staying with you. “He added.
“And what for? I don’t nee-d you ruining and controlling my life Dad. You are free to leave whenever you want to, I won’t st©p you. “I hissed and climb the stairs but I st©pped on my forth step.
“And don’t forget to take your who-re with you. “I continue climbing up in fury.
“You have to un-derstand him. “I heard him say to her but I don’t give a damm. I got into my room, shut the door and log into my facebook account.
I should just chat to calm my nerves.
Displa-ying my timeline I come across different post regarding the school formal.
Oh great! I almost forgot about that!
This will be the opportunity to give pugnose the taste of my wrath.

I deleted her number and pictures on my phone.
I disposed anything I have of her but anytime I tried closing my eyes, it’s her face I see calling unto me.
I’m supposed to be strong, I should be able to live with this but how can I, when she’s the only family I got?
How am I suppose to live without my mother? I always know that a day will come when Dad will choose Mirrah and her mother over me because the woman he used to love is gone and it’s very impossible for him to love me the same way.
I climb off the be-d to my drawer and brou-ght out the rope I had hidden from faces.
Wondering what I’m going to do with it?
I’m gonna end it.
I nee-d to be with Mom.
I can’t stay here living behind my shadows.
I don’t want to be alive to see Dad turning his back against me.
It’s going to be a miserable life I don’t want to witness.
I pu-ll out a stole and climb on it and was about to tie the rope to the fan when the door flung open.
“What the hell are you trying to do?! “He ask standing by the door. I ignored him and continue what I was doing. He rushed and carried me to the be-d.
“Are you insane or just stupid! “He yell again and I sits up in tears.
“You lied to me! “I cried. How I hate been fooled. I believed everything they told me without any questions only for me to realize that it all has been a big lie.
He sigh and put the stool aside.
“We’re just trying to protect you. ”
I laughed.
“You know, Mirrah, actually said thesame thing. You keep lying to my face like I’m not human! I hate you! “I yell as more tears filled my eyes.
“I hope this won’t happen again. ”
I sniff and raise my face looking at him as he gently walk out of the room with the rope in his hands.
I can’t believe he just said that to me without any remorse. He was suppose to be consoling me, he should be with me but why do I feel like I’m the only one mourning?
She was his girlfriend, why is he acting cold towards me?
