Chapter three

I was in my house mourning my dead mother. So sad. What am I going to do now, my mother is dead and my father is in the prison.

I don't have any money. I quickly run downstairs when I heard a knock at my door,

"Who is that?", I asked while opening the door, I saw my friend Wonuola walking in.

"What brings you here?", I asked, "Since your mother is died I decided to bring some things for you", she said.

"I don't need that I can take care of myself", I rejected "You better take something hunger will kill you now that you don't have a mother or father".

"Please don't bring my mother into this, you can't, it hurts me when I hear her", I stopped her,

"Ok, sorry I won't say that again", Wonuola drops the foods on the table and was about to leave,

"Where are you going I thought you were going to stay for some time".

"Sorry my mother sent me to run an errand for her I'll be late let me quickly go and do it for her", Wonuola said.

"OK that will be no problem", she went out and I bid her goodbye.

Okay there's no job and there's no food how am I going to survive I can't just keep collecting money for my friends,

I need to get job but I'm just 16 years what of my education, this is too much for me, I need to finish up my education or get a job, I have many things on my mind right now.

I walked into the kitchen to prepare something to eat I boiled the last cup of rice in the house and said to my self.

What am I going to do, all the food stuff in my house are all finished how will I survive I really need to get a job to finish my education and Survive.

I ate the Food, washed the plate and went up to my room I laid down tiredly on my bed and slept off I had this nightmare that woke me up in the middle of the night.

I dreamt of my dad being released from prison and trying to kill me.

I quickly woke up went to the kitchen to drink water and went outside for fresh air. What is all this.

I said to myself, Is this really how life is.

Will I be able to be sleeping when this nightmare keeps coming to me I need to find a way to be happy so I can go over this nightmare I sat down there till 4:00 the next day.

I kept on having the unbearable pain, the eye that my Father punched me on still pain, I will have to go to the hospital I stood up and did the house chores I saw my dad's 5000 Naira in his room.

This seems to be his last cash I have, I need to use it to make breakfast for myself,

And also use it for my hospital bills and I can also look for a way to get money for the rest of the day.

I went downstairs to wear my dress and went outside to get taxi,

I went to the market and bought myself the little thing to eat to have breakfast.

After that I went straight to the hospital to do some check up, I waited for my turn and then the nurse on duty called me in.

The injury was very deep so they told some drugs to buy and use,

The doctor treated it and wrote down the drugs that was needed for my eye, he told me I would get the drug in the hospital pharmacy

I went to the hospital pharmacy to get the drug, I showed the person in the pharmacy the paper the doctor gave me,

He went inside the pharmacy to bring all the drug needed, the amount was 2000, and I have already spent 3000 on food.

I would have to walk home, I said to myself, I finished in the hospital and was about to go.

I look at my left hand side and saw a child rejoicing that her mother survived her sickness, I wish my mother survived.

I began to walk out of the hospital, I walked slowly and gentle for hours, while I was near my house I noticed someone was following me.

And I did bring my phone, it was busy charging in the living room.

I kept on looking back but the person was still following I decided to walk away from my house so they won't know where I lived.

But they still followed me, I looked into different direction but they still followed me.

They were three in number, I walked faster to try if I can lose them but at the end I did.

I was looking back watching what they were going to do, but I found out that one of them has gone when I looked front I found a man in front of me.

Before I could walk the other way they all surranded me, "What do you want?", I asked.

"Well give me what you holding and we will leave you alone", one of the boys said referring to the food stuff I was holding.

"What!?, you want me to give me the only food I have, you must be joking", I said with courage.

"Okay then we will have to do it the hard way", he said and pulled my food stuffs away.

I began to chase but they where to fast for me, the only food stuff I have, i will have to report this to the police.

Why are people this wicked, I picked up my shoe I removed before I chased them and headed to the police station.
