The old lady talked about the visitors coming today. She said something about keeping our room clean since there would be an inspection. It felt like I was a high school girl. I can't imagine myself getting an inspection from some foreign people I've never met before. This whole thing is becoming more annoying every minute." She talks too much. You don't need to obey if you don't want to" I was startled. The red hair said beside me.I gave her a confused look " shouldn't you be advising me to do good ?"She shrugged " it's all depends. I could see the look in your eyes. You don't seem to like this place "I scoffed " who would want to be here "She chuckled " Would you believe me if I said I brought myself here? "I was shocked. This new information surprised me big time " what? Why?"" I was tired of everything. I was tired of everyone. I wanted a breather and this happens to be the best place " she told me and I still can't imagine how a sane person would want to be here on their f
Breakfast was fast. I don't think I spent more than five minutes before the Bell rang. Unfortunately, the visitors are on their way. What got me thinking was how the whole ladies were so happy to meet this said visitor. But I for one was sure it was something more than that Which made me eager to meet them. Redhead snapped me out of my thought " you okay?" She asked I nodded releasing a sharp breath " I'm good. I need to leave anyways "She shrugged " see you soon"I didn't wait to hear her say more. I wasn't good with new people and then since I was warned not to trust anyone, I need to be wary of who to call friends. Time like this makes me miss Bella the more. It would have been easier if she was to be here with me.I rushed into my room as if my life depend on it. I wasn't going to sleep, definitely not. Wouldn't want what happened this morning to repeat itself. I can't be odd looking one again. I need to be snappy from now henceforth.The food was okay. Nothing special, of cou
I can't be seeing a ghost, never. He is the same one. My eyes can't deceive me, I know what I just saw. My eyes followed his every step until he was standing in the front.The redhead was saying something about, I told you so. I don't have her time at the moment, I can't believe he is here is all I kept on muttering in my head. This isn't the best timing at all. I can't believe this institution belongs to the man that made me pregnant.This is absurd. I need to think fast. Shouldn't I approach him after the event come to an end? Or I shouldn't? I was so confused. I didn't know what to do. This whole thing just got me so worried and confused." Are you alright ?" Redhead asked I'm concerned. I guess she must have seen the little shake of my hand." Why?" I asked trying to act all calm but deep down I was nothing but calm. " You look as if you just saw a ghost or something. Do you know him from somewhere ?"I shook my head a little too quickly " no I don't" I just don't know what to ev
ONE MONTH LATERI thought living with Martha would be difficult but it didn't turn out to be how I had pictured it. She is one of the best roommates ever. I have grown to like her.We are in our room discussing what happened during our high school days. She Surprisingly attended the same school as me but a year older and class older. This was why I never knew her. Now I get why we kind of share some connection.She is just too cool and fun to be with. I'm so happy she came into my life. At least I have someone to talk to about stuff that I only talk about with Bella. Bella has been so busy lately. She just graduated, or should I say we just graduated? She has been visiting her father's office to learn something about his job. While I'm here trying to get my own life organized.I'm not sad though. On second thought, being her seems to be like a great idea. I'm beginning to see the world from another point of view unlike when I was always caged at home. It was really hard at home." Wh
FIVE MONTHS LATER" Gosh you look big" she exaggeratedI rolled my eyes at her knowing well that I hated being called fat. My baby bump was showing. It's really obvious now that I'm pregnant. This is why I always put on something loose so to hide the baby bump.We are many here that are pregnant and nurses are assigned to us to do a routine check-up on us to see if the baby is doing perfectly fine. " I hate you right now," I said with a glare. Martha laughed. " But on a serious note, you look good while pregnant. No one could pull it off like you"I giggled " I know right " She shook her head at me " now who is acting cocky?"" I am" I shrugged " I need to be praised once in a while "" True"" So now what ?"She furrowed her brows confused that I was asking her that " what is it "" I've been thinking that I should go for the X-ray "" To know the gender of your child? " I nodded " yes"" Yes, you should. I'd love to know the gender too. I'll be an aunt, I can't wait to meet him
We got back to our room and the first thing Martha said was " Don't ever engage in a fight, please "I shrugged " she started it "" That girl is dangerous. I've heard a lot about her and I'm very sure she won't let you off the hook after that slap you gave her "" She deserves it. She shouldn't have threatened my child " I said rubbing my stomachMartha rolled her eyes. She wanted me to understand something and u don't get what it is " what is it, Martha ?"She sat down and pat the space beside her for me to sit " sit please "I did as I was told. Why is she scaring me " please talk to me "" There was one time I went through her records in the record room. I know it's a crime to check people's records but I couldn't resist it. It was there beside me at the time "I furrowed my brows " what is it? "" She is a murderer. She pushed her junior brother down the stairs. I guess that was why her parent brought her here to live for the main time "I couldn't prevent the gasp that left my l
SIX MONTH LATERI couldn't take it. I fought the urge to cry but I still ended up crying. My eyes are bloodshot by now. Seeing Martha arrange her clothes makes it even worse for me to stop crying. I didn't say anything to her and she didn't either.She fought back the tears too " I can't leave "I sat down beside her trying to be strong " you shouldn't say that. The best place to be right now is to be out of this place. I will not allow you to spend more time in this place. You are to leave today and you must leave today"She wiped her tears " I can't leave this place without you"I chuckled " why are you acting like my lover "She pouted " I thought I was your lover "I hit her arm lightly " you must be joking "" That's hurt " she whined rubbing the area I hit. She zipped up her bag and then push it to one side. Any moment from now, the guard will be here to get her." I'll miss you," I said with my head now " I'll miss our banters "She nodded " me too"" Have never thought that a
EIGHT MONTH LATERI can feel my baby coming close. I know my child will be out soon. It feels so tiring walking far so I decided to be on house arrest unless the occasion calls for me to be there. I rarely go out and I hardly have visitors unless for Andrew who only comes here to check on me. Which I'm very grateful for. He's been so sweet to me. Like an elder brother taking good care of his junior sister.I got lucky to know a little about him. He is a good man, I can see that. I stood up from my bed trying to stretch my legs, they feel so sour and swollen. I hate being pregnant, it makes things difficult to do.The old lady sometimes sends doctors to come to check on me just to be on the safer side and I'm glad they said that my child is healthy and ready to be out. I smiled rubbing my stomach. Having this child will be the greatest blessing of my life.I took one step and then the other. I repeated the process until I was tired. I was feeling pressed so I went to ease myself. That'
