Chapter Three
I just finished my final paper today so am done with exam yeeeeeee
I walk to by dorm “ Elizabeth get your things ready ......your parents are on their way ” miss France said
“ wait I'm leaving today ?” I ask surprised
“ yeah ”
I'm happy but I'm not ready I need to get my things together “ okay ” I run up stairs and start getting my things together , and as I think I'm done
My brain seems to work when it's under pressure
“ you're going home today ?” my friends ask as I take my things down stairs
“ yeah bye ”
“ Elizabeth your parents are here ” miss France shout
Elizabeth Elizabeth, why can't you just call me Liz for Christ sake I also like beth but no body calls me that . I hate when they call my full name
“ coming ” I said and finally I got to the car ...“ heyy good afternoon ” I greeted my uncle
“ how are you ?” he ask
“ fine but really tired ”
“ when you get home you'll take a nap , I picked you today because we have people coming to visit us tomorrow ”
“ okay ”
We got home and I took a nap then ate and all that just resting
NEXT DAY
========
I lie on my bed just chatting with my friends then the door opened
“ come down stair visitors are downstairs ” my aunt told me
What's my business with them not like they can send money to my account
“ okay !” I said and get up. I head down stairs to the living room
In the living room is a white man and God she's here again the woman who claims to be the one who brought me to this world
“ sit down ” my uncle said and I sit “ you've met her right? ” he ask referring to the lady
“ yeah ”
“ I heard all that happened while you were in school ” he said and I nod “ this is her husband Mr Jeremy and they are her for you .......”
“ I don't care ” I said
“ they've apologize to the family and ......they are forgiven but they are still here in Nigeria because you haven't forgiven her yet ”
“ I forgive her ” I said
“ really! ” they all said
“ yeah if I say the word she'll leave Nigeria and never disturb me ”
“ you're going with her to America ”
“ never mind that's not happening ”
“ hey Liz ” Mr Jeremy said and I look at him lazily
“ what do you want ?” I ask
“ hey Liz he's older than you ” my uncle said
“ I know ” I said
“ I know you're mad at her so am I because she never told me you were where if not we will have come for you since....... I found out a month ago ......... Just please give her a chance to show she cares about you ” Jeremy said for a reason I don't know I really like this dude . I just look at him
“ I don't think I can forgive her now I need time ”
“ we want you to come to America with us ”
“ why ?”
“ so we can show you we care for you ”
“ I'm not going ”
“ they've paid for your visa ” my uncle said
“ nice one then why asking me ....... Or begging me when you've done it behind my back ” I ask sarcastically rolling my eyes
“ you're going with them okay if you don't like them .......you can always come back to Nigeria ” my uncle said
“ just pay instead for me to go live my life in south Korea ” I said
“ no you're going to America ” my uncle said giving me the eye that says do not disagree , I roll my eyes
“ fine ” I said lazily, if I disagree there is going to be a huge quarrel and its never going to end .....it's going to come every day when an issue comes up , so I rather go since Mr Jeremy seems nice but I'm never going to forgive her till the next seventeen years because that's how long she left me
I get up “ thanks Liz ” she said
“ you're leaving tomorrow so you're making your air today and quickly get your things ready ” my uncle said .......I check the time and it's 10:23am so I've got a lot of time to make my hair , I'll make box braid and with red
“ okay ” I said and walk back upstairs
*******
The rest of the day I used to make my hair and finally I finish arranging my things into my luggage by 11: 45pm , she just seems to stress me when ever she like but it has to stop .
NEXT DAY
My uncle made me dress on time , and now am just in my room lying on the bed looking around last time till I see this house again and I forgot to tell you my uncle children are all in college and schooling in London, I was to go also when I get into college but now 😿 I'm going to America, her kids should not annoy me not even a bit if possible not talk to .
I pack my hair in a ponytail the time is 3:45pm , I feel stupid...... For believing them and really getting my things ready am sure my uncle feels stupid too because he forgive people too quick, he's a very nice man you know
“ hey Liz they are here ...... ” my aunty said
Wow they came I wanted them not to come oh Christ “ okay ” I get up and hug her “ I'll miss you ” I said and she hug me back , we pull away and I take my luggage downstairs..... The car is outside they are both standing by the side
I turn and hug my uncle “ I'll really miss you ...... Make sure you eat healthy okay ?” he smile and nod . I wave them good bye and enter the car
“ how are you doing Liz ?” Jeremy ask
“ just normal and annoyed ”
“ thank you for agreeing to come ” she said
“ I don't even know your name so don't talk to me and I never agreed you guys planned it behind my back .” I said to her
“ she's Rebecca your mom ” Jeremy said
“ not my mom ” I said looking out the window
