Chapter 57: Blackout
Joanna's POV.
The first day I met him when he came home with Elvis from school.
How he fought a boy in my class for calling me a stammerer when Elvis wasn't in there.
How he accepted my friends and joined us in our every activities. Even when it was against his class he would be on our side, which would make Elvis happy and angry sometimes.
I also recalled he would smile when he saw me and his eyes shine a bright colour. As little as we were then, he always made me feel special.
He would always gang up with me during hide and seek games plus other activities against the others and that day wasn't an exception.
From what my little brain could take note of, it was a good day, we all ca

Self-Love Chapter 58: Shock
Frank's POVI regained consciousness a little over an hour later according to the nurses and was told I had a panic attack.When I asked about Joanna, it was relayed to me that she was admitted in the same hospital but in a different room.I immediately traced my steps to the location after I was told the room number and went straight in search of her, despite the protests of the nurses and other patients in the same ward with me, to have some rest.Now there I was sitting beside her bed as she lay still, the steady rise and fall of her chest plus the lack of wires connected to her, the only assurance she was asleep and not in a coma.I had been sat in that same position for hours. I refused to speak to anyone no matter how hard they tried, the nurses, the doctor,her parents,Elvis, even her friends, I spoke to no one.They tried to find out what happe
Self-Love Chapter 59: Do I Know You?
Frank's POVI nodded in response to the doctor's question as my brain shifted back to space mode while I watched him do his normal routine check up."Any news? I asked curiously, my voice emotionless."She's fine." He smiled, "The shock has passed, so she's all good. It's left to her to wake up on her own whenever her brain decides to""How about her memory? Elvis questioned, to which the doctor sighed."I can't say, its a 50/50 issue. Medically there's nothing wrong with her brain but there's a possibility that the brain kind of shut down as a result of too much information and flashbacks," He blurted."But on the bright side, it might just be a way for the brain to absorb the much information it received, resulting in the temporary shut down. So there's a possibility of her still retaining her memory. Like I said it's a 50/50 issue, it'
Self-Love Chapter 60: Everything?
Frank's POVIf I didn't catch sight of her beautiful brown eyes as she blinked, I would have dismissed it, but instead, my heart froze, my breath hitched, I was afraid to move, breathe even,because of the fear that I could wake up and realize it was all a dream or my imagination.It seemed she guessed my turmoil, hence her eyes flew open once more, and this time it stayed that way. I saw her lower them from where they were focused, on the ceiling and then slowly, they found its way to my face."Oh my GOD, oh GOD." I sighed in gratitude and relief as my body relaxed when the realization of her being awake hit me."Oh my GOD, Oh GOD, you are awake,Ana you are awake. Oh GOD I've missed you," I spoke, in a bid to confirm I was in no way dreaming and buried my face into her shoulder as I hugged her, after her eyes remained on me, those beautiful eyes I missed

Joanna's POVThey both whipped around, till their eyes landed on me."Where have you been young lady," Mom scolded with a glare I didn't take to heart, due to the happiness I saw dancing in her eyes."A hug would suffice." I chuckled, seeing as I had already expected that reaction from her."GOD I've missed you," She croaked, and immediately pulled me in for a hug."Its okay mum." I laughed into her neck when I felt her squeeze me tight."Hey Dad," I called in a wide smile at him over mom's shoulder, to which he responded with that same look Francis had on his face when my eyes landed on him <disbelief>."It's okay Dad, am real," I voiced out, and I guessed that was all the reassurance he needed because the next thing I knew, I was being hugged by the two most important people in my life."My beautiful da

Joanna's POV"Come over here you two." I smiled and motioned over the two most protective friends I had and still have. They didn't blink or waste a second after I spoke because in a flash I was in the middle of an emotional hug as Harmony kept whispering sweet things in my ear while Tenda sobbed on my shoulder."I love you both so much." I sighed and gave them each a kiss on their foreheads as my heart squeezed in affection.They pulled away a little over a minute later and Tenda wiped away her tears before she tried to give me a stern look as she spoke."Never do that again young lady, or I swear I would journey to the beyond and drag you back here to spank your ass, got that? She glared with fresh tears breaking through once more, to which I nodded and pulled her for a hug of mine."Pave way for the future sister in-law." Fahvour grinned as she walked over to us to
Self-Love Announcement.
Announcement!!I've received several comments about what transpired in Chapter 2 (Ignoring Hoes)Some are saying I took it too far, others are saying that's unrealistic, while few others said I should delete and rewrite it as it seems harsh.What I have to say is, I'm not deleting or removing that part, becauseFirstly: It's my story.Secondly: I've edited in, and that's as far as I can go with it.Lastly and importantly: It is the only original part of my book. Meaning, it happened to me back in my high school days, sadly, I couldn't stand up for myself, which is why I wrote that and made Joanna speak up and put the teacher in her place.Shit happens in this life, most things you find unbelievable are taking place in areas you don't know about.I'm sorry if it seems disrespectful to anyone, but it's staying that way.If you a
Self-Love Chapter 1: Getting Ready For That Shithole
Joanna's POV "Joanna, get up." I heard someone yell. "Could someone help me stop that noise?" I groaned, closing my ears with the pillow. "I really need this five minutes of extra sleep." I silently prayed. "Joanna!" The voice came out again. This time it sounded clear and like -- Oh shit. I jumped off my bed immediately. Where could I hide? "Joanna Gore Alex. Get the hell up or I swear, I will unleash hell on your head!" My mum shouted as she pounded on my door. There went my delicious sleep people. Yes, I called sleep delicious. Have you tasted it? Trust me, you should. I hope that you would understand my current situation. "Oh, you don't want to get up? She questioned. "Suit yourself then," she scolded and a few seconds later I heard her footsteps retreat. "Thank God!" I sighed and did a happy, booty shake afterward. PS: it's a thing where you like roll your hips and twerk a little. The booty shake was short-lived when I felt something cold and wet sting my skin. "What the
Self-Love Chapter 2: Ignoring Hoes
Joanna's POV Playing my favorite song, 'If I were a boy' by Beyonce, my mind stayed afloat. Alone with my thoughts and nothing else. I didn't even realize that I was at the school's entrance until I heard voices from inside the school - people were shouting and doing their daily stuff. I immediately put my phone away to hide it from the authorities before they seized it. Phones weren't prohibited at this school but are not used except in the cafeteria, nowhere else. Entering the school's premises, I knew that I was late because classes had started a while ago and guess what? The gossiping teachers Harmony told me about were attending to latecomers and at the same time, searching for interesting topics to gossip about. I knew how schools like this worked. I've heard stories from Harmony and Elvis. Harmony was my childhood friend, he attended this school but he decided to search for another school in Enugu, where he traveled to for the holidays. Apparently, he couldn't imagine facin
