MARIAIt's almost eight pm and I am in my room putting my stuffs inside my box as tears roll down my eyes. I wipe it off getting angry at how uncontrollable my tears can be. My things are scattered on the floor and I am just packing them up randomly.I am done with this madness. I can't continue putting up with this. First thing tomorrow morning I am out. This is last straw. I hate Edwin so much.God I love him but I hate that I love him.He is a liar, a cheat, a freaking man whore and a terrible person. He doesn't love me. He was making a fool out of me when he told me he love me and I was stupid enough to believe him.Stupid again!I sit on my bed feeling exhausted. This is not go for my baby. It's all Edwin's fault. He is the devil in my life! He couldn't even wait longer before coming to my life but had to come right when I turned eighteen.Right at the beginning of my adulthood.He is the actual devil.The image of those pictures came to my head again. I have deleted it but it is

All I see is a husband stealer who doesn't want to accept the thing called friend zone.I am standing here in this huge hall filled with exercise equipment and all. Lisa, Laura and Edwin are looking at me. They are surprised to see me, I am sure. Edwin most especially. He has a lot of things in eyes, one of them is fear.

"Maria"I smile to how sexy my name sounds whenever he says it."You have to get up" I feel a touch on my thigh creating a lot of goose bumps.

We move outside the house and into the car.Getting to the church, everyone is seated and t
Elma's POVIn our small house in a small town called Sinon, my mother, lying on the bed down with fever. The doctor has prescribed drugs for her but we can't afford to buy it because of we can't afford it. My siblings, Christine and Christian has been taking care of her while I go out to hustle. Now they carry long faces showing fustration. My mother's health hasn't improved at all and things are extremely hard. My father is jobless and not helping as the head of the family. He either goes out and come back home late and druck or he stays at home all day giving complains about us and our situation. As much as this annoys me, I still don't have the courage to caution him and remind him about his responsibilities towards the family. My mother being the only one that talk sense into him is too weak to even talk. Our state is more like that of a church rat. Even less. We barely eat thrice a day, school is a different case all together. I drop out of high school, almost done with it but I
Elma's POVIt's been days since my brother told me about the landlord coming for his rent and I haven't been able to raise the money. Am sure that anytime from now, he will be knocking on our door demanding for his money. I know how annoying that man can be and he is ruthless. He won't consider my mum's condition and spare us rather he will kick us out to the streets.I can't bear to see my family and I in that kind of misery. I normally see some people living on the streets. Mostly, people live under the bridge. I can't imagine living that kind of life. I have to do something and fast. Speaking of my father, he is useless. He doesn't care about us. He should be the one having all these thoughts am having. But no, it's the other way round. He would rather spend all his time at the bar and squander all the little money he mange to get from his friends."Gosh am tired sis" Christine said sitting down on one of the cape stones lined up by the roadside. We are just coming back from where
Almost at our house, I saw my mother leaning out against the door. She was talking to a man. She look so weak. I wonder how important the conversation is that she had to come out in her weak state. Then I glanced at the man she was talking to. He looked familiar but I couldn't make out of it because he was facing my mother and I can only see his back. But the familiarity is strong. 'Who is that with mother? Christian asked curiously "I don't...." I was cut off by Christine. "Shit! That's the landlord! Gosh what is he saying to mum?I ran towards them with my siblings following from behind. I know how annoying and frustrating the man can be. I don't want him stressing my mother or even worsening her condition.I reached them and my mother looked relieved to see us. I was right. He was stressing her. I felt angry about this. He is supposed to consider her condition and just wait for us to come back or better still leave. How would he? He doesn't care. All he wants is his pay."Mum" sh
"Christian!" I yelled out my brother's name. I need his help to bring dad inside. He is still lying on the ground along the road and we have to carry him out of the road."Sis why are you..." I cut him off"Dad on the ground, let's go get him"I ran ahead. Christian followed me behind. "Why does he always has to humiliate us like this sis? Look at him" Christian points his fingers at our father "Who gets drunk at noon?""Just help me with him okay? There is no time for complains" Christian shutted up and did as I said.My words were void of any emotions but at a point I just didn't know what to feel. Frustration or anger as I looked at my father on the ground.How could he allow himself to be useless? How did he end up like this? Wasted and drunk? Gosh...he is making things hard for me.I didn't know how long I have been wondering in my thoughts till Christian called me out "sis what's wrong?" I sighed and nodded."Nothing let's carry him home already" I bend down to pick him up but C
