What will you do if your feelings for someone are not reciprocated? When your emotions and thoughts are put in a troubled state? That's what happens to Dave Walters who falls in love with Julie Kelv, his best friend, who doubles as his coursemate. He gets friendzoned. As their distance begins to grow apart, Julie finds love in the arms of a football star, Tom Jeremy. Things begin to turn sour as Julie discovers he is aggressive. Julie gets back Dave and starts an intimate relationship with him as a rebound. Tom out of jealousy goes back after her, and reveals an important past about his life which makes her feel touched. Julie makes Tom promise to allow her change him, as the only ransom to accepting him back to her life. Dave on the other hand attempts suicide. He gets rescued by his friend and neighbour, Lindsey. While comforting him, she then plants an unexpected kiss on his lips to reassure him that there is also a 'special one' in the world left for him.

Unrequited Love NINE
The night was still young when Julie reached home. On the veranda, she could observe the lights from the chandeliers that were visible through the curtains. At once, she knew her mum must be back from the boutique which she owned and managed.And so, holding the handle of the front door, she lightly pushed the door open to get in. The large beautifully well decorated square room which doubled as the living room didn’t make any sense to her. It was at times as this, the wealth she and her mum shared together looked worthless.She always use to think that with her natural beauty, perfect shape and the silver spoon she was given birth to with; the qualities were enough to excuse her from misfortunes, insults and embarrassments of all kinds.Her head felt hurt at this point. She wished she could cry, but it wasn’t still enough. The disgrace was too much. She wished she could scream out her lungs to feel better.Striding past the living r
Unrequited Love EIGHT
It was half past six now in the evening on Thursday. The trees were standing still except for the bird songs that proved it still served a purpose.Julie and Nancy were seated at a distance not too far from where Tom was having his football training.Julie was putting on an orange tee-shirt that revealed her novel and a pair of jean trouser. She also had a jean jacket on, in case the weather becomes too cold for her.Nancy on the other hand was putting on a short ox-blood gown that revealed most of her cleavage. She was also putting on a jacket, though an ash cotton one, different from Julie’s.In their hands, were fliers containing details of the slam competition she was to participate it. She had already shared it to a few persons who passed their direction.“Thank you. Expect to see you there.” They said to everyone they gave the fliers to. They were even getting dehydrated. Thanks to the bottle of orange ju
Unrequited Love SEVEN
Dave was still wide awake. The time was 5:00am. He ran a warm bath as his emotions were becoming to make him feel uncomfortable and hot at the same time.After taking his bath, he felt a lot better and was preparing to sleep, before he heard another knock on his door. He was surprised what would make Lindsey to knock on his door that early in the morning. He only smirked and shrugged as he went for the door.Opening the door, he was surprised to see Tani. She was the African American lady, the agent’s girlfriend who had given him his room keys when he had first packed in.“Hi Dave. Sorry for the inconveniences.” She began, with her head tilted to the right as she started.“No problem.” He said at once wishing she could just go straight to the point.“You weren’t back at home on time last night. I wanted to inform you that your rent is gonna expire in two days’ time. Barne
Unrequited Love SIX
It was Sunday morning, the morning before resumption from the mid-semester break. Dave had already woken up early by 4:05am. He had barely slept throughout the night.He was beginning to wish that school wouldn’t resume the following day as his injured feet had not fully healed, and of course, he’d continue to see his old friend, Julie.Somehow, he couldn’t deny that seeing her troubled him much. But he needed to be a man like Lindsey always encouraged.Stretching on the mattress, he sat in a yoga position as though he was having a meditation. Using his right forefinger, he then cleared out the debris that clung onto his eyelids.After moving his head upwards and sideways to free himself of any tiredness and bring him to full wakefulness, he got down from the one-foot tall bed and knelt by his bedside with his hands clasped like a Catholic on his way to receive Holy Communion.He muttered some words of pray
Unrequited Love FIVE
Julie woke up to the sound of her mum’s solemn voice saying: “I’ve brought you breakfast my Angel.”When Lucy, Julie’s mum, saw how her daughter’s head nestled in sleep in her pillow.How sweetly and snugly she had met her sleeping, she envied her. She had barely enjoyed a peaceful sleep since her husband’s betrayal.Looking at her still, she knew her daughter had the peace she lacked. Because only the contented in heart could sleep like that.Julie opened her mouth in a large yawn.“Good morning mum.” Julie’s words sounded unclear as a result of the yawn.Kissing her on the forehead, Lucy dropped Julie’s breakfast on the stool by her bedside.“You seem to be enjoying your mid-semester break?”“Sure, I’m.” Julie got down stretching her limbs as she subsequently put her hands in akimbo.
Unrequited Love FOUR
A month had passed and Dave was getting used to the ritual of taking a different route whenever he and Julie were close to facing each other.It was May 8th 2019 and the University was embarking on a mid-semester break. The school’s football team had planned a friendly football fixture with Cobra, a football team of the Division 2 of the England Premier League.Dave was also a player in the school’s football team. He played the defensive midfield role and was very good at his position. He was unlucky as he sustained an injury on his calf muscle, which made him to leap while he walked.The match was played the following day after the break commenced.The kick-off time was 4:00pm. Dave was seated on the stands, with many of the female students dressed in multicolours of orange, green and blue as cheerleaders.Julie’s eyes searched for Dave, who she knew also played for the team. It didn’t take long before she saw
Unrequited Love THREE
It was barely five minutes after 10:00am before Dave stepped into the lecture hall. He felt all his mates’ eyes on him as the attention given to the lecturer was now deviated to him.Walking briskly up the slope of the hall, he took the back seat, and when he had resumed full consciousness, his eyes met Julie’s. She occupied the space by his left side.Dave tried opening his lips to say ‘hi’, but his mouth only gaped and still closed back. He thought about all Lindsey had told him a few minutes back about keeping to himself for a few weeks, but he lacked the guts. He was too addicted to Julie to do so.He said to himself: “Besides, laws are made to be broken.”“Hi!” Dave managed to say at last.Julie gave a deafening ear as she pretended to be listening keenly to the Spanish lecturer.Dave’s heartbeat now increased. He wished he had just kept his big mouth shut.
Unrequited Love TWO
The atmosphere in Liverpool on Monday morning was 12 degrees Celsius. It looked like it was going to rain.Dave’s first lecture for the day, Spanish Language, was slated for 10:00am. He was beginning to get worried that his lecture would get disrupted, yet he was a bit glad it would deny him the opportunity of meeting with his ‘ex’. As to him, Julie’s refusal meant they had broken up.After taking his bath, he quickly dressed and moved outside to have a view of the sky above.He was feeling nervous, yet he never wanted to skip lectures. The first time he did so in his first year during a rainy day, the lecturer ended up giving an impromptu test, which later earned him a ‘C’ in the course.As he stood observing, the atmosphere suddenly turned grey with the pregnant clouds forming large curls as though they would fall off in heavy downpours.The roars of heaven's drum rang an alarm, as passers-b
Unrequited Love ONE
The time was 9:00am on Saturday.Dave Walters had been in bed all night, wide awake with hurtful emotions as he tried to navigate his mind around his crush and bestie, Julie, who he summoned the courage to ask out the previous night.The tall lean twenty-year-old dude had put on Eminem’s and Lil Wayne’s track, “No love” on repeat throughout the night.The music blared out through the mp3 player which filled the whole neighbourhood, making his neighbours on the same floor of the three storey building to knock on his door in annoyance.“Hey, what the hell is wrong with you? This isn’t your papa’s house, tone down the volume of your audio player, or I break down your door.”They said in succession.The heartbroken dude wasn’t deterred by their disturbances as he sang in rhythm to the song, ignoring every knock that came on the door ma
