LAURA'S POV
I left John just at the door and returned to meet dad upstairs. I can't believe dad hates John this much. Yes John had a bad lifestyle before but does it give dad any right to be this harsh to a fellow human? I don't think so. The thoughts continued to run through my mind.
I climbed the stairs as fast as I could and met dad sitting on the couch in the living room upstairs reading the bible as usual.
Hello dad, here I am.
Pastor:: how are you feeling now, I can see you're much stronger now.
John's POVHours later Lyod was back home.Hello bigbro, welcome. what happened, you never came back early as you promised.Lyod:: Thank you john but You know my type of job na, when human lives are involve, you must attend to them,Sure bro your right, please let me help you with your briefcase.I took it as we climbed upstairs.Lyod:: So how is Laura doing today?She is doing fine bro, I actually
Loyd's POVIt was Sunday morning and I woke up to prepare for church as usual. Any Sunday that I don't go to work, I don't miss church. As I was preparing I heard a knock on the door.Who is that?It's me bro.Oh journey is here? What does he want this early Sunday morning?Come in john.John:: Good morning bro.Yes good morning John, how was your night?
It was another school day,My friends Greg, Clark and Fred are seen chatting in one of the classes.Greg:::It's been days guys. We haven't heard from our guy, so we are heading to his class right? I know he will be with his girl Laura, we all hate her but we should behave ourselves at least for John's sake.Clark:: you have a point bro, that's just what we gonna do now, walk to him and apologize.Fred:: So what are we still waiting for, let's go guys.We walked to John's department. He wasn't in class but we saw Laura seated there. We had to g
Oh my God, are you guys really in this school? Haven't you read the papers??Clark ::you should know better na guy, you know we don't readnewspapers.John:::You see? That's why I said you guys should change, this lifestyle won't help you in any way.Greg:: Bro forget that, we are more interested in knowing what happened to laura.Fred::Yes guys, please tell us, what really happened to her??Guys you know queen right?
Laura. POVOn our way from the station, dad asked if he should drop me to school but I told him my day has been spoiled already, so I just need to go home and rest.He insisted that what happened shouldn't make me miss classes. I told him there is no way I am going to be okay in class given what just happened now. He knew I was not okay with his decision earlier about me not being friends or allowed to be seen with him anywhere. He knows how much this will break me but I think dad is being over protective. How can he just ban us from being friends just like that.
Greg, Clark and Fred are seen heading to their friend Johnny's class surely to take the contribution their friend promised them for the drinks. They were shocked to discover that he wasn't in class. They all rushed to the canteen to check if he had gone there with Laura to eat but couldn't find him.Greg suggested that they should check at the garage where he always parks his car. If it's not there then definitely he is not on campus.After checking they didn't see his jeep.Fred:: What if he never came to school with his car today?Clark:: You know that's impossible na, t
Pastor ::Going by what the doctor said when it was diagnosed, he told us that you have less than 5years to live. You have actually lived more than those years already.Luara:: Dad wait, so it's just a miracle that I am still alive today?Pastor:: Yes daughter, that's the miracle God has been doing in our lives, you are all I have left. I can't afford to lose you angel.Laura:: Don't you think it's the best reason for you to allow me to be with the people I love and who truly make me happy since I can go at any moment?Pastor:: don't talk like that please, you are not going anywhere okay, you will live long daughter.
The next day I was all set to go to Laura's house. Have not even informed her that I will be coming and I don't plan on doing so. I need to surprise both her and the father. I must do everything possible to make her father change his mind, he can't just ban us from being friends like that.After I finished dressing up, I took my keys and went to lyod's room to inform him am living for LAURA'S place already..Lyod::Jesus!!! John, you mean to tell me you're going to somebody's house this early? No, now, I know you're desperate for him to forgive you but I can't allow you to visit a pastor's house at this time. Just sit here, when it's the right time for you to go I will inform you.
