Justice 💔

Two weeks.

Two very painful  weeks

I've never been away from Amir for this long. But I've never been this hurt by him either. He had constantly been bombarding my phone with endless calls, text messages and voicemails until I got fed up and blocked him everywhere.

And I mean everywhere.

I was still so angry, hurt and mostly tired. I tried avoiding him, Dayo, Rihanna and Empress. Zayne was hard to avoid because I bumped into him unexpectedly at unexpected places which was suspicious but I was too tired to care. Everytime I saw him I could see the empathy in his eyes even though his face held no emotions. But he made no effort to apologize on Amir's behalf or comfort me which baffled me but I was glad all the same. I needed time and space away from everything and everyone.

Thank God no one was home. It would have broken the camel's straw if I left the wahala of school to come home and meet my pesky stepfather in the house or a mother who didn't give two fucks if I was alive or dead.

I closed my eyes, trying to will myself to sleep but sleep wasn't coming. All that swarm through my mind were the times I and Amir were together and it broke my heart all over again. It felt like there was a huge hole punctured in my chest and nothing could fill it up again. Everytime I closed my eyes, that event...the one of him choosing Keisha over me kept replaying itself over and over again in my head until I broke down crying my eyes out.

"No one really likes you Justice, stop trying to play pretend"

"Be a good little girl and get on your knees sweetie"

I frowned as hidden memories, ones I've buried deep into my memory started resurfacing. My heart was beating fast and even though I tried to mentally push it away, it was hell bent on torturing me.

No!

"That's my good girl. Now take it in"

"You dirty little bitch. I OWN you!"

No! No!

"You are MINE Justice! You dirty little bitch belong to me!"

No! No please!

I was shaking, sweating as that last voice left my head. I sat up and almost immediately the door flung open and a light skinned guy rushed in. He knelt before me, raised my chin up and held my trembling hands.

"Hey, hey! Breathe...breathe...take deep breaths" he said in a soft voice. I bit my lip and shook my head helplessly and started taking deep breaths at the sound of his voice. Soon my voice returned to normal and I was able to breathe properly. My hands were still shaking but he held them in his and used his thumb to trace little circles on them.

I focused on this stranger who was still kneeling before me. He was handsome no doubt.

In fact, he was very handsome.

"Who...Who are you?" I rasped. He gave a little half smile and cocked his head. That action made him look so adorable, almost child-like.

"My name is Gozie. You're Justice right? Your mum didn't tell me much about you" he replied. I frowned again

My mum?

"She invited you here?" I asked.

"Well...yeah I think. I was in the house but I barely leave my room you see, introvert things" he laughed softly.

"Oh, so what exactly do you do for my mum?" I asked, raising an eyebrow.

He suddenly looked embarrassed and looked away.

Ohh

Ohh!

I felt ashamed, both for him and for my mother.

"You are...her fling?" I gasped. He nodded and gulped, his Adam Apple rolling up and down. I felt ashamed and angry at my mother. She was going out with someone who was twice younger than her?

How low could she go?

"Look don't tell her I told you okay? Please, she didn't even mentioned she has a daughter. I just stumbled on your contacts in her phone" he said. I didn't even know what to say to him, I was still reeling from the shock. So mother wasn't satisfied with her new husband? And now she's running after boys who are barely older than me?

"How old are you?" I whispered.

"Twenty one"

Twenty one! That meant he was just four years older than me! How could mother do this?

I suddenly started to feel lightheaded and dizzy. I removed my hands from his and tried to stand up but I ended up falling but Gozie caught me just in time.

"Should I take you to the hospital? You don't look so good. You're not a fair girl but yet you look pale" he said with a note of worry in his voice. I wanted to leave the house and run to where my mother was to yell fire and brimstone at her, I wanted to shout at this boy to leave my house and go focus on his life.

But I did nothing.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you following her?" I asked softly. He sighed and relaxed his hold but still didn't let me go.

"I come from a very poor family. My mother and father are sick and I'm the only child. I can't continue my university education because we don't even have money to eat not to talk of pay tuition fees. Vero- I mean, your mum saw me walking in the streets one day and said she was interested in me and that she was going to pay me money if I hung out with her for a while. I didn't want to agree because, well it's wrong and she looked married but she coerced me and I agreed and it's the money she gave me that I'm using to pay my mum and dad medical fees"

I kept silent. My head processed everything and I felt put for him. He wasn't doing this for himself but for his parents.

But still.

How could mother have done this?

"You're not angry are you? I promise to stay out of your way I swear" he said. I sighed and took a deep breath.

"I'm not mad. I hope you get a job opportunity and leave her soon and I also pray your parents get well" I said.

"Thank you Justice. You're so nice, thank you. If you need advice on anything, boys, money or anything, my room is just..down the hall" he replied and smiled. I nodded my head and smiled. He let me go and stepped back.

"See you later" he said and waved.

"See you later" I waved back. He turned around and left my room, leaving me once again alone in my thoughts.

Suddenly I had an idea.

I looked for my contacts book, hoping his number was still there. I hoped it was.

My eyes searched, looking for the number I had been forced to do away with, but could not throw away because it was important to me.

Then I found it.

Taking my phone, I calmed my fast heart beat down and dialed the number.

"Hello?"

I kept silent. I didn't know what to say, it has been ages, years since we spoke and he never reached out to me when mum found out and banned me from reaching him. I didn't blame him for not recognizing my voice.

"Hello? Please who is this?"

Closing my eyes, I prayed for courage and then I opened them.

"This is Justice, good evening dad"
