[ GONE BY BEI MAEJOR]

Nishola could still hear Damien's laughter as he walked into the bathroom. This guy was something else.

Nishola walked out of the room and entered another room.

Because it was Damien who brought her, she was taken to a different ward.

Different files were placed in the room with hospital cards in them. These files were the files of the students who had left the school. 

Nishola checked the files absent mindely. Her hand picked a file as her eyes widened. Boldly written on it was 'Osanyibi Oluwatofunmi'.

The hospital files in the file was huge as the door opened revealing a nurse.

"What are you doing here? Please leave" The nurse said coldly.

"Excuse me, this is my sister's file" Nishola said as the nurse frowned.

"All the files here are confidential, please leave. If you are curious aboit anything, please look for the Health Prefects or the Senior Prefect" The nurse said as she pushed Nishola out.

Nishola walked back to her room.

"Where were you?" Damien asked.

"Da.... Snr Damien, I just saw an hospital file with my sister's name" Nishola said agitated.

Something flashed in Damien's eyes.

"Yunno, when we are alone, call me Damien okay? Was your sister ever sick?" Damien asked.

"Nope, Tofunmi was really healthy and all that" Nishola said.

"Maybe it was just a simple headache, don't bother yourself with it" Damien said.

"The hospital files inside was quite huge" Nishola said.

"I'll help you check huh?" Damien said as Nishola nodded.

"Let me help you knot your tie" Nishola said shyly.

Damien nodded as Nishola loosened his tie and knoted it. She was fast and soon a neat tie was resting under the collar of Damien's shirt.

"Damien... " Nishola called out.

"Eeeeee....... I like the sound of that. What is it?" Damien asked.

"I like you" Nishola said staring at Damien who wore an amused smile.

"So?" Damien asked.

"Be my boyfriend" Nishola blurted out.

Damien laughed heartily as Nishola turned red. She had practiced this over the days. Ever since Matthew asked her if she liked Damien, she had been thinking a lot.

"Yunno, I was always yours" Damien replied lazily, his voice scratchy and low.

Nishola leaned in and gave him a peck on his lips.

"You are mine" Nishola breathed.

"The hell I am" Damien said with an amused smile.

He wasn't expecting her to be so straight forward at all. She went straight to the point, her confidence at that moment was very attractive and Damien couldn't help but fall for her all over again.

"I'll see you tomorrow" Damien said as he waved at Nishola.

Nishola yawned as she slumped on her bed. She had a boyfriend!. And the boyfriend was Akinyemi Damien, freaking Akinyemi Damien.

Nishola smiled as she stood up.

"Hello Siri" Nishola said.

"Hello Ni, how may I help you?"

"Play DNA by BTS" Nishola said.

DNA by BTS echoed loudly in the room as Nishola started dancing and swirling around.

Nishola fell on her bed with a sigh with drenched on sweat.

"Hello Ni, reminder, tomorrow is Tofunmi one year anniversary"

The statement was like cold water poured on Nishola's body. All her excitement died on an instant.

Nishola sat on the bed as she stared into space. She had promised to see Damien tomorrow and usually, she never went to school on Tofunmi's anniversary.

It was like everything was repeating itself again. But things were slightly different, Tofunmi was gone and this time around, she and the guy shared the same feelings.

Nishola brought her knees to her chest as tears poured down her cheeks.

"You know tomorrow is Tofunmi's anniversary right?" Matthew growled at Damien.

"I know" Damien said as he rolled his eyes. " If she comes to school, I'll really fight with her" Damien added.

Joel frowned immediately,  "So why did you tell her you'll see her tomorrow?" Joel asked.

"I just........ " Damien said with a shrug.

"How long will you guys keep this away from her?" Joel asked.

"She has seen Tofunmi's file, we got lucky since Nurse Mimi was quick to go there, what if she had opened the file? Isn't it high time she knows the truth?" Joel asked.

"We'll see about that" Damien said as he ended the video call before throwing his head backwards.

Nishola fumbled with her phone for a long time before wearing a black trousers and a black top. She strapped her black glasses before opening her mirror drawer and bringing out sun glasses.

"Let's go" Mrs Osanyibi said as they walked outside and entered the car. Mr Osanyibi was clad in black suits while Mrs Osanyibi was clad in black trouser suit. Everton wore solemn gazes as the car sped through the tarred road.

Different people could be seen on the road, some students of public schools still hurrying to school even if it was already past 10am. Some women could be seeing in tight dresses and makeups waiting for a bike man or a taxi.

The children hawkers were not fell out as they had started parading the streets trying to sell their wares.

Nishola held her breadth as Mr Osanyibi drove into a private cemetery.

They parked and they all got down from the car. Nishola opened the booth as she brought out Mint flowers which were Tofunmi's favourite. She loved them.

Nishola was startled seeing a flower and a picture already placed on Tofunmi's grave.

Mr and Mrs Osanyibi exchanged glances as Mr Osanyibi waved for the gate man to come over.

"Who was here this morning?" Mr Osanyibi asked.

"A guy, he wore black and sun glasses. He came very early and fell not quite long" the security man replied.

"You didn't see his face?" Nishola asked.

"Nishola, you pay respects to your sister, we'll go and check the security footage" Mrs Osanyibi said.

Nishola nodded as she sat down and smiled at the picture engraved on the tomb.

"Hello sweet sis, I'm sorry I haven't been coming around okay?. Things has been quite fine and in the last one month, quite a lot of things have happened. I met someone who you had always wanted to meet" Nishola said with tears running down her cheeks.

"You remember Snr Damien right? Your basket ball idol, yeah. We've met and guess what, he's my freaking boyfriend. I know you don't believe me but he really is. Our worlds just yunno..... collided all of a sudden. Although it has being a while, I wanted to love again and I did!" Nishola said caressing the tiled grave.

"Tofunmi, I miss you. I really miss you, there's no one to yell with me whenever I'm watching an action movie, there's no one to tickle me till I cry. I just miss you" Nishola said bitterly.

"I was so stupid and I didn't even get to say goodbye. My idiocy led to your death, I will forever feel guilty for you. I'm kinda glad mom and dad seemed to be coping just fine without you. I know they are hurting on the inside but they have to be strong for me" Nishola said.

"They've been always there for me, at all times. I'm really grateful to them for not blaming me like everyone did. You want to hear about your idol? Well, he's so sweet. I mean very sweet, he's hell ass addictive too" Nishola said laughing slightly.

"I actually kissed him when I was drunk. Yeah, I went to a party after so many months, although you weren't there to dance with me, I managed to go through it. I really do like him, love is still a big word for me. You said love put the person first but I just stood him up. I put you first" Nishola said with a pout.

"I miss him already" Nishola mumbled.

"Why haven't you told her?" Matthew asked.

Mrs Osanyibi pursed her lips before shaking her head.

"She can't take it" Mrs Osanyibi said with tears rolling down her cheeks.

"She should know" Joel said his lips set in a thin line.

"Honey, its okay. She was going to know sooner or later" Mr Osanyibi said as he nodded at Matthew.

"Hey babe"

Nishola turned startled, she could recognize that hell ass sexy voice any where, any day, any time.

Nishola's eyes widened when she saw Damien, Joel, Matthew and Yanmife all clad in black attires holding flowers.

Yanmife blinked as tears ran down her cheeks.

Yanmife didn't say a word as she bent to the grave wiping her tears furiously, she couldn't believe the ever smiling girl who laughed and played around a lot went through such pain and no one knew!.

"Hello Tofunmi, how are you? I'm sorry I've never come to say hi sweetie. I hope you forgive me. Thanks for being such an amazing sister to Nishola and me. Rest in Peace" Yanmife said as tears rolled down her cheeks.

Joel mumbled a few words as he dropped his flowers. He gave a slight bow as Damien bent down and smiled to the picture.

"I never saw you frown before Tof, you always displayed your teeth even when everything seemed to be falling apart. You were the strongest girl I know. Yunno we talked a lot the last time I came by but yeah, this time around, Ni is my girlfriend" Damien said as Nishola's eyes widened.

"Okay, okay. I said I know I said as I was going to stay away from her but yunno..... Things just went hyper. Your sister misses you greatly too" Damien said glancing at Nishola.

You must be sweating already.... Lol....

I actually cried while writing this chapter... I'm a very emotional person so writing such sad lines brought tears to my eyes.

Your mind must have gone into an overdrive but its the last chapter for tonight.

Keep guessing..... Tofunmi has a very pitiful story if you ask me.......

I'm still crying... Lmao....
