Chapter fifteen

NELLY

Aren't Sunday supposed to be as bright as the sun? Isn't it's night expected to be filled with beautiful stars? Then tell me, why am I sitting alone on the couch in my living room, surrounded by empty bottles of cheap beer. Tell me, why does my heart feel like it has been stabbed a million times and my eyes too heavy for me to open?

Getting over Alexander was very difficult. I had cried each time I remembered him, and trust me, I always did, so you can imagine how often I cried. I had even starved myself on some days and my job was a mess. It took only a kind hearted boss like Iris for me not to get fired from work.

Truth be told, I never did get over him at all, until Chike came and got a place in my life. His presence in my life had somehow helped me to go through the healing process successfully and now this. I didn't know how I was going to get over Chike, off course getting another man was completely off the table, as that for me was a bigger problem
