Chapter Seven
When Michelle found out i broke up with Seyi he persuaded me to tell him the reason, but I decided to keep it to myself and I just told him it was the normal argument stuff that lead to our breakup. I could sense he was confused that it was not the exact reason but then he chooses to believe what i told him.
Our friendship became back to normal once again and he tried all his best to console me from my broken heart, Michelle was really a friend indeed he had been single since his last heartbreak too about five months ago when I started dating Seyi.
I decided to concentrate on my books and take whatever life offers me next relationship was actually out of it.
After our second semester examination, i went home for vacation and my parents and everyone was happy to have me back, i stayed in my room studying when I have nothing to do around the house and sometimes when I get too bored i would stroll out with my junior sister Tolani who was now a two size of myself that people who didn't know us before gets the idea that she was actually older than i was.
At first when I arrived home i thought of telling the rape case to my mother but I was scared that she might blame me for visiting a guy's apartment at the first place so I decided to keep the matter all to myself since I didn't end up getting pregnant anyway.
But then, another challenge came up for me to deal with. After the rape issue the urge to have sex kept coming, i managed to control myself from it for a while but then it got worse that I fell into the habit of masturbating whenever alone.
I wasn't please with myself about this because I knew I was sinning against my own body but I had no choice cause I needed to satisfy my urge a bit.
The vacation finally ended and I resumed back to school for our second year third semester and all i did was going to class when I have lectures and heading back home when am done, only a few times when Michelle insists we go out to have fun.it went on this way for a while until my urge led me into another terrible mistake that almost claimed my life at a point.
I was fine with the masturbating thing until that very weekend when Michelle came to visit me in my apartment. It was on a Saturday afternoon, I was just chatting with few friends on my cellphone when I heard someone knock on my door,"who's there" i asked standing up to go check who my guest was when I heard him reply from outside,"Michelle ni oo,"his voice came from the door.
I went closer and opened up,"Hey Miriam how far i didn't see you in class yesterday hope no problem," he asked concerned.
I didn't go to class the previous day cause I had issue with my bank account and I had to go clear it," i explained to him.
" Ehn ehn i came to check on you ni sha but since all is well make i sit down i have new set of movies on my phone we can watch them together abi you dey do something before i come,"he asked.
"No not really was just chatting and watching movies is not also a bad idea," I replied sitting on the couch beside in a position we could watch the movie together.
He punched the app for movies and we both made a choice of the one we would love to watch first.we finished the first movie and went for a second one which was the start of another misery.
