Chapter 43: I'm Not In Denial
*Joanna's POV*
"Yeah, I figured you would do that." Elvis chuckled. "So how are you doing"
"I'm fine." I shrugged, and continued eating.
Seeing this, he gave mom a look which made me sigh and repeat what I had said "I'm fine"
"Hunie, you know you can tell us anything," Mom spoke as she walked over to pat my shoulders.
I swallowed what I was chewing and faced them, "I know you all think am in denial or just bottling my feelings up, but the truth is I'm not"
To this they both kept silent and stared at me, in which I chuckled before I continued.
"I won't say, it doesn't hurt, it really hurts so bad, but believe me when I say I feel much better now than I did yesterday even though I cried a river last night and screamed a thousand times though soundlessly." I voiced out, as I remembered the events of the previ

Joanna's POV"Yeah, hope," I responded. "Like there's more to the story. Not to be on his side, but I feel it shouldn't just end this way. Call me naive or desperate but I feel like something doesn't just add up""I don't fully understand what your trying to say, though I sort of see your point, as the Frank I know wouldnt just act like that" Tenda mumbled as she looked deep in thought.I shrugged at this and asked, "How are the guys, I heard you all dealt with Frank?"Mehn." She laughed, "It was like a warzone""Also, the fact that you went all lady gaga on him." I grinned."Hey, he hurt my bestfriend, I have the right to go even Mark Tyson on him."

Self-Love Chapter 45: You Guys Didn't Raise A Stupid Daughter
Joanna's POVIt took me about a week to come up with a plan on how to talk to Frank. It might seem strange that it took me that long, but I needed to be emotionally and mentally stable to formulate the plan and have that kind of conversation with my Ex-boyfriend.So I woke up on that Saturday morning with a plan. Firstly I said my prayers, stretched my bones and went downstairs, where I saw Mom, Dad and Elvis laughing about something on the T.V."Hello Fam," I greeted, in which they all turned to look at me before they broke out in another fit of laughter.I know you might want to know why they laughed after staring at me for over a minute, well sorry to disappoint you, because I didn't know and I didn't care.And I don't mean it in a bad way but I was used to it, because when you've stayed with those three people half your life, you would know their brains don't work all the time, which could result in screaming for no reason or laughing unnecessarily."Yeah yeah, I look like a clown,

Joanna's POVAnyways, I then shook my hair to let it flow, after I had let it out of the hair net and checked myself out in the mirror to see I really looked good.I applied some lip gloss and smiled at my reflection before I grabbed my purse and trudged out of the room to see Elvis about to enter his, but stopped when he noticed me."Woaw sis!" He exclaimed, "Who do you wanna slay?"Frank" I replied with a smirk."Wait, Frank? He asked, a shocked expression on his face."The one and only." I shrugged, and made a move to walk ahead but he held me back."Mom told me you are doing this to get closure, what if its not the type you expect? He questioned, a concerned look in his eyes."I'll live with it," I answered and patted him on the shoulder."Goodluck then, I gotta sleep." He spoke, while he tried to hold back a yawn which earned him an eyeroll from me."And you say am lazy." I scoffed and turned my back to go down the stairs."I need my beauty sleep, thank you very much!" He called b

Two hours passed, three, four, time flew by until it was 8:15pm with no word or sign of her""This prompted me to call her again, in which she picked and exclaimed an <Oh darling I totally forgot, am at a party right now, see you around 12pm when am back> and hung up""Ifeanyi exploded for the second time that day and was like <Damn that bitch, I shouldn't have agreed for us to do bussiness with her, so help me GOD am gonna kill her>"I tried calming him down and told him she was our only hope, even though I had a bad feeling about it, and he muttered a <We should have just let it be, thank God its for
Self-Love Chapter 48: Shut Up And Open This Damn Pile Of Wood
Joanna's POVIts been three days since Frank told me all that transpired. And there I was, sulking on my bed with spoonfuls of icecream and series after series of wildflower.If you'd asked me why I was sulking then, I'm sure I wouldn't have had an answer because despite all, I should feel relieved and a bit happy, but I wasn't.Instead I was wallowing in my own sweat and freezing my heart over icecream. It was at this moment that I heard a knock on my door."Who goes? I yelled. PS: That's a slang."Shut the hell up and open this damn pile of wood!" Tenda screeched while she pounded incessantly on the door.This made me groan and mutter cursewords under my breath as I stalked over and unlocked it."Get out," I muttered in irritation when I realized she wasn't the only one, as she was surrounded by the bunch of goons

Blake exclaimed in a laugh while Tony frowned."That's my girl!" Tenda spoke, before giving me a high five."Oh GOD" Harmony gagged, as his face slightly turned green."My lil sister is not so little anymore," Blake voiced out with a sniff.Tony just facepalmed at this while Ifeanyi held a proud grin on his face and muttered a "That's why he's my cousin, we get things done""Okay that's enough dirty t

Ifeanyi exclaimed. "Don't go moving around, its my house!""And so? He smirked in return. "I'm just getting the damn bottle""But you will my waste wine! I don't have an empty bottle," Ifeanyi cried, while he pouted like a baby."I won't!"

I called back, after which I moved around as if in a daze and went to the bathroom, where I did my business.Still in a daze after that, I decided to pull my asleep brain together so it could function, and splashed some water on my face, as I knew Dad wouldn't take it likely with me, if he entered my room in a few minutes, and saw how messy it was, or me, sleeping, even though it was still 7 am.How I woke up that early by myself, was a shock to me, especially after the crazy night we all had.Wait, am supposed to be nursing a hangover right now, or di
