Chapter 19
I opened my mouth to scream but she grabbed me and put her free hand over my mouth. She pushed me roughly onto the bed. "Vanessa please don’t kill me. Okay? Please I'll do whatever you want, I promise. Just please, put down the knife." I begged. She gave a short laugh. "Romoke my love. You don’t want to die, do you? Yet you don’t care if I die or not. You had the guts to ask your baby sister to threaten me over the phone. Do you think I backed off because of her threats? Both of you are so stupid! And you must think I'm stupid like ya'll, don’t you?" She laughed and sat on the bed, facing me. "Please Vanessa I'm sorry you know I never meant any harm. Sewa was just bluffing and you know it. Please don’t hurt me." I cried. She came closer and traced a finger on my cheek. "Awwww cry baby. I love you very much and you know this. That's why you took me for granted. I was ready to do anything for you, Romoke, but you fucked it up all because of a guy. Do you know how devastated and heartbroken I was? Do you know I've been indoors all these weeks, crying and drugging up just so I can get my mind off you, but what do you care? You were probably busy sucking D or even getting the D. I blame myself for ever getting involved with you." she said angrily. Her eyes were filled with tears and they flowed freely on her face. "Please baby I'm sorry please just calm down okay? We'll sort things out. We love each other very much, yeah? We're gonna fix this I promise." I pleaded with her. She laughed bitterly. "Oh shut up you liar. You never loved me, did you? You ungrateful bitch. You were just with me for the money and clothes and outings. Fuck you I did everything you ever asked for. I even got you this phone!!!! How could you be so ungrateful and leave me for a man? A man?!!!!!" she got up and began to pace the room. I looked around frantically for a weapon to protect myself from this mad girl in my room. "Men are worthless. That's what you don’t know. Men are scum!!!!! Tell you what? My brother raped me when I was just 8years old. Get that? My own brother!!!!! My blood brother!!!!" she screamed. I opened my mouth in shock. "OMG" I mouthed. "Yeahh right. He made me promise not to tell anyone, else he'd kill me. I couldn’t tell anyone. My parents were hardly ever around, so there was no one to talk to. I was always alone with my brother. He did it to me almost every night till I was 13years old. Then my cousin, Annie came to stay with us. She was 17 at the time. She took an instant liking to me and we became close. I confided in her and told her all my brother did to me. She was shocked and she told my parents. My brother was sent away to the states since then. Annie became a sister to me. My parents left me in her care. She told me stories of guys that did the same thing to her. She had this hatred for them. She said all men are the same, they all want to get in your pants and they’re gone. She said men are animals and they don’t care about anyone but themselves. Gradually I hated boys and men in general. Annie told me she had been raped by one of our uncles when she was younger. She told me all about her life and I learned to trust her completely. I was very comfortable with her and I told her everything. She was like my mini mother. One night, we were in bed and she started touching me. She spoke softly. She said I'd enjoy it with her better. She said it wouldn’t be painful and irritating like it was with my brother. I believed her. I believed everything Annie said. After all she knew better than I did. I let her touch and kiss me. She taught me how to give her pleasure. I learnt fast, and I loved touching her. We became inseparable. We did everything together, and at night we gave each other pleasure. This went on till she got into the university. During the holidays she would come to our house and we'd spend the break together. After a while I stopped seeing her. She didn’t come anymore. I didn’t hear from her. She wouldn’t pick my calls. I felt bad. She was the only person I was close to. Then one day, she came to the house when my parents were around. She said she was getting married. She had met the guy in BABCOCK and they were leaving the country as soon as their wedding was over. I was disappointed. This was someone who taught me never to love any man, she told me that all men were liars and cheats and beasts, that they only wanted my body. Now here she was, getting married to one of those men. I hated her at that moment. I left the sitting room where she was talking to my parents. She came to my room and said she was sorry, the guy changed her beliefs about men, made her feel loved. I didn’t say anything. I just smiled at her. I was so angry with her. You know what I did? I killed her. I killed her right in her house. In her bathroom. I made it look like suicide. I can still see her face." She laughed bitterly again. I put my hands over my mouth. Who was this Vanessa girl and how did I get myself into such a mess? I was trembling as she came closer again. "Oh baby you're so scared, aren't you? I see fear in your eyes. Hey remember that girl in the picture you saw in my room? The one I replaced her picture with yours? Melissa? Remember? I told you she's in U.S yeah? I lied. I killed her too. She also tried to leave me for a man. Why ya'll got to be like that? Nobody messes with Vanessa and goes away with it" she said, rubbing the knife on my bare thighs. I shivered. Suddenly my phone rang. It was Tobi. He's probably downstairs now. "Don’t even try to pick it up." She yanked the phone from me and ended the call. She smashed it on the floor and it broke into pieces. "I bought it with my money now, didn’t I? so I can break it if I like. You don’t have a problem with that now, do you?" she said, laughing hysterically. God, this girl is already mad. Tobiiiiiiiii please come upstairs already. Wait!!!!! If only I could distract her so I'd get the knife from her. Else this girl would stab me to death here. I stared at her and smiled. "Now why are you smiling?" she asked. "Well, nothing actually I was just wondering how you'd kill me and get away as Tobi is downstairs at the moment. He'd definitely come up here in a few minutes when he sees my number isn't reachable. What are you gonna do then?" I teased. "I don’t care about your idiotic Tobi. I'll kill him and put your bodies side by side" I looked at the door. "Oh Tobi! You're just in time baby." Vanessa fell for this prank as she turned back to look and I pounced on her. The knife scratched my shoulder and I grabbed her hands. We rolled, kicked and scratched till the knife fell to the floor. She was surprisingly strong, as a result of the drugs she'd been taking. I punched her hard in the face and I reached for the knife. I took it and sliced her arm. Blood gushed out and she screamed in pain. I raised the knife again and aimed for her chest. she opened her eyes and mouth in shock. "Romoke stop. Drop the knife!!" I looked up and saw Tobi staring at me wide-eyed.
I opened my mouth to scream but she grabbed me and put her free hand over my mouth. She pushed me roughly onto the bed. "Vanessa please don’t kill me. Okay? Please I'll do whatever you want, I promise. Just please, put down the knife." I begged. She gave a short laugh. "Romoke my love. You don’t want to die, do you? Yet you don’t care if I die or not.
