YOU ARE FIRED

I would go partying pretending to be happy but deep down me, I knew I was lonely without her, I knew I miss her but I didn’t want people to see me go back to her then I felt I should apologise during Vacation then I will patch up things with her then we will start the relationship secretly.

Before Vacation,I couldn’t keep lying to myself that I haven’t fallen for her, I went to her hostel to look for Chloe,when I got there ,her room mate told me she moved out.

“ What? Moved out to where? I asked her room mate.

“ How do you expect me to know? You know she isn’t my friend and I m not a sister’s keeper” she says picking her book from her desk.I turn to her as she was going to pick a book from her study table. I open my eyes wide, my guilt took over me at that moment.

I turn to her roommate to ask when she moved out of the room then she said few hours ago.

I felt hurt, I return to my dorm, I was silent all through that day, very early the next day, I got dressed for class hoping that she may show up for lectures and we would just sort out our differences.

I did my best to find her, she never came back, I even took lectures that I have never took before because maybe she will show up in any of those lectures, she never came back to school.

After two weeks of hoping she would show up and she never showed up, I ordered my men to search for her through the entire city of California,she wasn’t there.

I hired an investigator to help me find her they never find her.

I gave all my friends distance, I became quiet, I no longer go out, I only attend lectures and return to class, I regret my actions.

I kept hoping she would show up and I would beg her publicly. I hope I did make her do anything stupid because if she does, I will never forgive myself

Chloe.

After moving out of school, I got a job in a restaurant, a waitress job, it was hard for me to live all by myself, after work,I will cry to sleep. I regret everything falling for Riley.

I hated that I kept such a secret from my mom but how can I even face her and tell her I am pregnant when she used everything she has to make sure I get into that school.

I failed mom,I failed her hard work as a single mom,I can’t bring myself to tell her, I had dropped out of school.

Few months later.

I got a call that my mom died, I cried so hard, I travelled back home by train when I saw her dead body, I cried so hard, I asked of forgiveness but she was dead, she can’t even hear me.

She was everything I had, Aunties and uncles only came to support burying my mom and they all return to their destination.

None of them cared about me, I return to California, the outskirt of California because that is where I live. It’s less expensive for me and that was where I got the job I was doing.

I steeled myself and in the same energy that gets you in shape after a bad loosing everything and knowing there is no one for you, I would tackle this pregnancy the same way. I was going to conquer it despite everything that was against me.

He would see me someday and regret treating me the way he did. I didn't need him. And besides, any man who would do what he did doesn't deserve to be with me or my unborn child.

He wasn't going to have the opportunity to disappoint me-again.

FEW MONTHS LATER.

I went to have an ultrasound, during the ultrasound,I was told there are two heart beating inside of me. My heart skipped, how was I supposed to raised two kids? But when I look at the monitor and see the movement of my kids I feel connected to them, I wanted them.

After the Ultrasound I returned home, I made calculations of buying two baby things. I would be having two boys.

My salary wasn’t enough. I decided to search for another job so that it will be a second job.I did got one but once both company noticed I was pregnant, they stopped me from working.

I had been able to save a bit that could see me through my pregnancy and maybe two months after birth.

Few months later I had my babies and when I carried them in my hand, I saw Riley’s face on them. They were their dad’s carbon copy. Those faces reminds me of Riley.

I hate to remember Riley, I never thought they would look like him but that doesn’t matter because even if he sees them in future and thinks he can take back away my kids, that will be a very huge mistake.

FOUR MONTHS LATER.

I began to search for job and I finally got job,a better job than the one’s I have during pregnancy although it can’t foot my bills but it was much better,it will go a long way because I had loans to pay.

After a month when of putting to bed,things became difficult, I couldn’t leave my kids to a babysitter, I felt they were to young for that, so I put in for a loan, I got the loan and that was how  I was able to manage to stay four months with my kids with no work.

My new Boss Hector began to hit on me, a year after  I started working for him, he said it could be just a fling between us.

I wasn’t interested in any of that, I just wanted to raise my kids that all, I declined then he began to treat me harshly, he yells at me for no reason, I just continue to pray , I lasted a bit before getting my fix deposit because I had just less than four years more to get my capital and interest but unfortunately I got fired before then.

I had to stay back home for three months before getting a new job which lasted three years before having the same problem again. My boss name is Mark, he used to be nice to me in the past little did I know he had his reason’s until he hit on me to become more than his office assistance, trying to keep me late in office to have sex with me but I never allowed him to have sex with me, after several attempt to win me, one day he called me into his office and told me I am fired.

“You’re fired, Chloe.
