Chapter 20
Vanessa is in the hospital, badly injured and unconscious. Tobi's arrival prevented me from stabbing her to death. She told her parents not to press charges, she said it was an accident. They're taking her to the U.S. when she's fully recovered. She's going to Rehab there, to help her get over the drugs and substances she uses. I told my parents it was an accident too, so they wouldn’t press charges. Vanessa and I knew we would both go to jail if the case gets to court so we preferred to lie to everyone. Sewa was the only one who knew the real reason behind our not going to court. She has agreed to keep my secret and not tell anyone. Tobi has broken off our engagement. 'I cant believe you tried to murder your fellow girl, Romoke. Besides, I already told you to cut all ties with her and avoid her, you didn’t listen to me. I'm so disappointed in you." he said. I knelt and begged him with tears streaming down my face. "I swear Tobi I avoided her in every way. She just wouldn’t leave me alone. She was going to kill me. She came with the knife. I had to protect myself. Please baby I'm sorry. Please forgive me." I cried. "Listen to yourself. What if her parents decide to press charges? The judge wouldn’t listen to all this trash you're saying. You'd both be jailed for practicing lesbianism. I just thought you had stopped the dirty lifestyle. Now I realize I was wrong. Just leave me alone, alright? I'll be going back to the states as soon as possible. You can do whatever you want with your girlfriend when she's recovered. Good luck to both of you. Please leave my house." I couldn’t believe my ears. I clung to his legs and cried. "Please Tobi don’t do this to me, please baby I'm sorry. I swear to you, I've changed. I swear baby please don’t leave me. I'll die if you do." I cried and cried but Tobi wouldn’t listen. He picked his car keys and went out, leaving me kneeling there. Oh my God. Where do I start from now? I'm in trouble. Tobi doesn’t believe me one bit. He wont even listen to me. I cant call his parents because they'll ask what I did wrong and I cant say it. It’s a shameful thing. I cant tell my parents either. I'm in a mess. I wish I never met Vanessa. I wish I never became friends with her. I wish I never engaged in those dirty acts with her. She ruined my life. I know I can never get another guy like Tobi. I've asked Sewa and her boyfriend Cole to help me beg him. I've truly learnt my lesson. What do I tell my parents when they ask me why Tobi broke off the engagement? My mom would have a heart attack, after all the training she gave me, after all the bible teachings. My dad would be so angry. I'm so ashamed of myself. I hope all girls learn from my story. Not all that glitters is gold. The struggle to slay. The struggle to take pictures in fine places on the island. The struggle to wear great designer clothes and shoes and bags. Snapchat Goddess, Instagram Celeb, Slay Queen, Where has this led me to now? I've lost a good man. I'll eventually bring shame to my family when they hear everything that happened. I'm so sad. I want to die. I wish I could turn back the hands of the clock, but that’s impossible now isn't it? Its my cross. I have to bear it anyway. I pray God forgives me. I've done him wrong, and I hope its not too late to go back to him.
THE END.
