Chris POVJoanna has an independent personality that I admire so much. It is a decision she made and I respect that in her; my style.I've never dreamt that I could fall for her when all I ever wanted was just sex. Slowly, I got attracted to her though I'm not sure if I'm head over heels for her yet.She didn't smile brightly like she did earlier, and I guess something must be troubling her, I ruled out mind reading as it would mean trespassing boundaries... Not like I cared about such principles.I'll love to hear whatever is distressing her when she is willing to let me hear about it." Are you worried about something?" I asked, but she was so lost in thought and she did not realize that I had asked her a question.I tapped her gently on the shoulder, " You don't look happy, is there any trouble that you would love to share with me?" I inquired just as I managed to steal her attention.She forced a smile, " I'm okay... Don't worry about me, I'm just tired and need some rest." She sai

Joanna's POVI lay on my mattress feeling very weak, I didn't know what to do. I felt so insecure about the whole situation. When I was dating Aiden, he was good to me though all those things were fake I never doubted it till the very end. He fooled me, robbed me, hurt me and even want to ruin me more. " What have I done to be treated so harshly by him? What did I do to deserve a cruel life?" I kept muttering to myself.I stood up to join Yolanda in the kitchen, my head started spinning, my ears were ringing and the world turned white.I heard voices so I tried to talk to them but no one heard me, I could see them but they did not notice that I was awake.The noise was so loud in my ears, " Can anybody hear me? I'm feeling hungry and I want to eat."I kept repeating those words but nobody heard, I saw doctors and nurses running around to save me.I tried raising my hand but my body was numb I could not feel any pain, " Am I dead? What is going on? Doctor, please save me. I can't die l

Joanna's POVI woke up breathing heavily like I was being chased in my sleep, no doubt I had a bad dream and could not think straight. I looked around for Yolanda but she was not in the room, after eating dinner we went to sleep in the same room as Yolanda rarely sleeps in a different room when she is with me. I went out to look for her, I was still shuddering in fear and my hands and feet were cold. I found her watching a movie, I tiptoed to where she was and sat next to her without her being able to notice when I walked into the living room to sit next to her. When she turned and saw a figure sitting next to her in the darkroom she could not decipher that it was me, she screamed her life out without realizing how wrong she was because she was controlled by the effect of the horror she was watching and it took much scrambling to put on the lights before she could stop screaming." I'm sorry that you got scared. I should have put on the light but did not want to distract you." I apol

Yolanda's POVI'm becoming more worried about my best friend, her time to exit this life is rapidly approaching, and she is dying slowly within. Her doctor has been disturbing me about how close her end is, if only she will listen to me and let go of everything we could go to the hospital for her treatment and probably have a chance to live for another month.Joanna can be a terrific rebel, worst still, since the day she was diagnosed of having stage three cancer and has only three months to live but could live for a year if she gets admitted to the hospital for chemotherapy my best friend has bluntly refused to stay in the hospital. She would often say that there is no need to waste money trying to preserve her life when she will eventually die in a year. It hurts to hear those heart-wrenching words from her however, I won't give up on persuading her to give in and get admitted to the hospital as the one week of her life is already about to elapse.It will be hard for me to do nothi

Joanna's POVAt that moment, my eye caught something in a direction I never thought existed, it was a sign of a skull with a tiny inscription that I was unable to read from the distance I stood. I was startled and ran to him, " Did you see that?" I asked him hoping he would say something to reduce the level of my fright but he didn't. He only held my hand and started moving towards the narrow path, I shook my hand off him, " Can somebody tell me where we are, what this place is and what is going on around here?! " I said halfway screaming.Nothing explained what part of the world I was in, everywhere was thick with grasses that one could easily miss his steps and go missing forever. He left me and continued walking but I remained where I was adamant." I will only leave here if you willingly answer my questions," I said.He stopped on his track and replied, " Follow me and see for yourself. Trust me, I won't hurt you." I had no other option than to join him and we walked through the
