I woke the next day with a Migraine. I groaned in annoyance. I haven't woken up like this since I was 13 and that was a long time ago. But not too long since I'm only 15, I sighed getting out of bed to wander around the empty house. Yes, you read that right? Empty house.

Mom and dad left 3 days ago and I've been all by myself for the past 3 days doing absolutely nothing but staring at the ceiling all day. It's the 23rd of December and I decided I was done mopping, waiting for a miracle to happen. I mean, it could have been worse, but I am thankful it's not more than this, at least I should be thankful that dad didn't take away my gadgets and the house was well stocked with food even before the 20th of December if not, my death will be certain.

After I did a few stretches, I got to work starting up my chores first, once I was done I went ahead to make Quacker oats and warmed one of the already backed breads. I went back to my room satisfied that the house was in order. I took a long required shower to get rid of the sweat and possibly the migraine too. Thank Goodness it did the trick. All I needed was aspirin to cure the rest of my migraine.

I got dressed in joggers and a spaghetti top because even though it was terribly cold, it was also unimaginably hot. That is one of the pecks of being stuck in Nigeria during Christmas. The weather was never stable or certain. I mean one minute it's raining, the next the sun is shinning brighter than ever before and we are in raining season. It's actually way worse when it's harmattan and all it ever does is rain all day.

Well, it seems to me like the weather is having a mood swing 'cus umm, its raining... Again.

"Are you kidding? I think its safe say that the weather is on her period".

I laughed at my own comment to what my subconsciousness said. Looking out the window, I saw it was raining, heavily if I might add. Like we were in the middle of the raining season. I laughed again as I went to the coffee making machine to brew myself a cup of coffee, while I went to dish out my food. I took my food to the dinning room and ate my Quacker oats and bread with a cup of coffee in silence. While I ate, I pondered on what to do during the rest of the day. Heck! Not just the rest of the day but the rest of the month till mom and dad get back.

Not knowing what to do after breakfast which was actuality brunch, I headed to our moderate sized living room my phone and computer long forgotten in my room since mom and dad left. I turned on the Tv and decided to binge Watch Phineas and Ferb. I love that animation so much that I collect their stickers and wallpaper and designed my room with them. It was too bad that the animation ended in season 4 but, I was looking forwards to season 5 of it.

Moving on to my next favorite which was Totally spies. They were my second favorite after Phineas and Ferb and I never failed to brag about my love for the girls! I started it as soon as I was done with Phineas and Ferb and boy I was glad I chose to watch Totally spies, I wondered why they stopped making it anyway.

By the time I had finished binge watching totally spies, it was way after 6 almost 7pm already. I headed to the kitchen to get something to eat, after looking through the freezer for like five times, nothing was appealing. I decided to make beans porridge with potatoes. it's a long shot considering I was seriously famished but it will be worth it.

One hour later, my beans porridge with potatoes was ready to eat, i dished myself a plate and went for the sitting room. I turned on the Air Conditioner because even thought the heavy rain had stopped like two hours ago, it still felt like it hadn't rained at all and I was sweating terribly. I sighed knowing it's only going to get hotter, so I decided to put the Air Conditioner to the highest.

The next series I wanted to binge watch was Naruto but I decided to save the best for the last instead, I decided to watch regular movies instead starting with movies from 2015. The first one I started with while I ate dinner was the invisible sister. Right in the middle of it, when the movie was about to hit the climax a call came through interrupting the movie I was watching on the flat screen Tv. I groaned in annoyance when I saw the call was from dad.

"Why is he calling now? Haven't they tormented me enough? "

I sighed deeply knowing I had no choice but to answer it. They must have tried reaching me on my phone and laptop over the last 3 days and since I didn't answer, they figured this was their last resort. I answered the call by pressing zero on the remote control before the call rang off and I did regretted the actions. Wishing badly to terminate the call but I couldn't. I wasn't raised that way. Zoe on the other hand would have done so in a heart beat if she was in my shoes.

"Jessa Olamipo Chloe Babajide! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? WE HAVE BEEN WORRIED SICK ABOUT YOU. WHERE IN HEAVENS NAME DID YOU PUT YOUR PHONE YOUNG WOMAN? WE HAVE BEEN BLOWING UP YOUR PHONE AND LAPTOP FOR THE PAST THREE DAYS WITH PHONE CALLS AND TEXT MESSAGES ALL TO NO RESPONSE--"

"I was at the h---"

"SHUT UP! I'M STILL TALKING TO YOU! AND WHEN I AM TALKING, YOU OWE ME SOME RESPECT TO BE QUITE AND LISTEN" He thundered. "Now explain to me why you have refused to pick our calls or respond to our text messages." Dad asked with his face still red with anger. Mom was somewhere in the background pacing a hole into the ground. Zoe on the other hand was somewhere in the background taking picture and living her life while I'm stuck here with a weather as confused as a dog chasing it's own tail.

"Answer me damn it!"

Mom said interrupting my thoughts startling me in the process. I thought of answering but after a while, I just shrugged and said.

"Nothing really, been home the whole time and frankly I didn't even know you called."

"You didn't know or you didn't care to know? Even if we didn't call, didn't you think you were supposed to? Huh Chloe? You could have at least sent a message" Mom lamented and I fought the urge not to roll my eyes. These two were really really getting on my nerves at a very bad time.

"How was I suppose to do that when I didn't have your new numbers?" Now I had them cornered because they knew I was right. And they had no right to be yelling at me.

After a moment of awkward silence dad finally spoken.

"Still you shouldn't ghost on us like that. You had us really worried. You know we care and we are only doing this because we love you. "

"Oh really? Whao you guys are honestly hilarious. If you loved me you would have listened to me. If you loved me you would have thought things through, looked for a better suitable punishment for what Zoe portrayed as me did. IF YOU LOVED ME YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT ME ALL BY MYSELF IN THIS HOUSE!!"

"OH SHUT IT ! ENOUGH WITH TRYING TO FOOL US THAT IT WASN'T YOU IN THAT VIDEO! "

"I AM NOT DAD, ZOE IS THE ONE FOOLING YOU, BOTH OF YOU BECAUSE SHE KNOWS SHE'S GOT YOU BOTH WRAPPED ROUND HERE LITTLE FINGERS!!!"

"DID YOU JUST RAISE YOUR VOICE AT US? Ohhhh Chloe this isn't over, you just wait till we get back to Nigeria. "

And with that the conversation ended. The Tv went blank for a seconds before the movie came back on. I was both physically and emotionally drained to the point that I couldn't even watch the movie or finish my food.

"Well at least I ate most of the food before dad's call ruined my appetite" I said out loud while staring at the screen which was now blank since the movie ended 2 secs ago.

So much for trying to keep a positive energy and being cheerful. I just felt so drained that I couldn't even take my plates to the kitchen. All I wanted to do was lay there till the new year but I knew I couldn't do that. After I had mustered up a little strength, I turned off the Tv, took care of the dishes, kept the remaining beans and potato porridge in the freezer before heading up to my room and calling it a night.
