Anita finally agreed to Rio’s pleas to see him, he had gone about it for days and she had gotten tired of him repeating the same thing.She had been skeptical about meeting with his mother as her previous visits had not ended well with him as she had gotten tons of insults from his mother on several occasions.She had only agreed to go because Rio had been on it for days,he hadn’t given her a chance to breathe properly as he went on and on about it he talked with her.Anita had barely entered the house when Stacie came rushing forward and engulfed her in a near hug and began to apologize for how she had treated her and how she behaved the last time she came over.“I’m sorry”She apologized as he held her by the hands. “I assumed wrongly,” she added.She had been surprised to see the woman she had hurled abusive words on was her family’s savior.Stacie had wrongly assumed she was a sex worker as Mimie had fed her lies about her.She had always seen her as a gold digger who wanted to
Anita, who understood Rio’s anger, calmed him down and convinced him to go back home and accept his mother’s apology.She had told him his mother had done what any mother who loved her child would, as she had only been looking out for her son’s best interest.Rio had paid no attention to her,Anita didn’t deserve the treatment his mother gave to her.He had almost cost him to lose her as he had no idea she had come to look for him as she got back.He got more pissed when he remembered how his mother hurled abusive words on her. She deserved none of it. The first time his mother had talked down on her, Rio had cautioned her about the way he referred to his guest she was just meeting for the first time.He knew Anita was an emotional person and words quickly got to her, she had cried her eyes the last time his mother had talked down on her and he had to apologize to her for days before he could finally forgive himself, she had accepted his apologies but he thought she had just said th
Anita called Rio non stop as he had promised to pick her up after her night out with Gracie, but he didn't answer his phone.She had taken a break from dialing his number and rested looking at her phone every sec the light came on thinking he rang back.Ideas had begun to fly into the head assuming different things to why he didn’t answer his phone.He had never taken this long to return her calls when he missed them which he hardly did.“He might be busy with something” She said thinking out loud.Or could he be sleeping? Different thoughts ran through her head as she continued dialing his number.She had gotten tired from dancing and wanted to go home. She had felt a little bit tipsy,not wanting to get drunk she stopped drinking and danced wild as if it would make her stop staggering.Out of ideas, she sent him a long message of how she had called him non stop and got no response from him and how she had gotten worried over it.She sent the text and waited for a reply from him not g
Anita felt her heart shred into pieces,as she struggled to come to terms with what had just happened.She thought a prank was being played on her until he slammed the door in her face,she had come to her senses seeing he meant every word he said.He had collected his ring back without a word,she cracked her brain as she tried to think of what she could have done wrong. She deserved some sort of explanation even if she had done something wrong.She knew something was amiss the moment she saw Mimie but she couldn’t say what it was.She had managed to hold back the tears that had filled up her eyes as she ordered a ride home.Totally kept in the dark she dragged her foot lazily into the apartment and shut the door behind her releasing the tears she had held back on her way home. She laid in bed as the tears rolled down her face. Pausing in between sobs, she wiped her tear stained face, she wished Gracie, her roommate, was around to listen to her talk and encourage her as she always did
Anita was still in the cell where she was locked up when Gracie came. Gracie had requested she wanted to see her and she was dragged out from where she had been kept.The nice police officer who stood behind the counter revealed to them that they had gotten news that Mimie was okay, that she had just suffered a mild concussion.Gracie and Mimie heaved a sigh of relief at the mention of Mimie being alive but they had no idea of what awaited them in front.Anita had been scared she had become a murderer, she had pictured herself standing in front of the judge who sentenced her to death or life imprisonment as he pleased.The police officer informed them of the decision Mimie had taken. She had decided to press charges on the basis of assault and battery. She had gone as far as saying Anita had come charging at her directly.Mimie who had heads for coming up with mischievous acts had gone far in coming up with a different version of what had actually happened. By her words, she had c
The day of the hearing had finally arrived.Gracie, alongside Anita, had arrived at court an hour early as they awaited the presence of the judge and Mimie and her lawyer.Anita seated alone,felt a rush of emotion running through her veins.She had felt fear,scared of the judgment that she would receive from the judge.Her mind had played its own prank on her, making her feel guilty before she was pronounced.She felt broken, she was all by herself. Her parents had sort of disowned her when she left by herself. They hadn’t called her since she left in anger. She was all alone, there was no Rio in her life again.Gracie, her roommate, was the only person that stood beside her during this time. She promised herself never to let her guard trust anyone. As she had been betrayed by Mimie who she had opened up to and became friends with.People had started to troop in, making the court full as they awaited the arrival of the judge to begin the case.They all stood as soon as the judge
Anita had thought the three days in jail would be easy, but honestly, they weren't.She had gone through hell barely spending a day in a cell.Her cell mates were already picking on her calling her a fresh meat welcoming her to their world.The plan was to stay alone as Gracie had advised and endure for the duration of days she would spend.She had no intention to get into trouble as it was the reason she was there, but otherwise was the case as the jail she was sent to housed many criminals.She had only passed through some of the cells when she realized it was going to be difficult to stay with the kind of people.Murderers and serial killers occupied a reasonable amount of the jail she was to serve her sentence.She wondered why she had been sent to this particular jail as they were other ones in the city, the women present here were big and huge.An all female prison that required the strong hands of male officers as they had proven to be difficult over time.She gritted her te
Rio, however, isn't happy, he has gone back to his old self.He barely spoke to anyone as he locked himself in his bedroom.His mother had tried talking to him but it didn’t help as it didn’t change anything. He had begun to skip meals not caring what would happen if he continued living that way.He had only pretended to be happy when Riley was around him, she had asked him what the matter was some days and he had put on a smile telling her he just felt a bit sleepy and needed rest.She had no idea of what had happened, she had been happy when he told her she would be getting a new mom and she found out Anita was going to be her mom. She was filled with excitement as she jumped up.Rio had felt some sort of emptiness since he let her go. He knew she had pretended to use him to get her books signed but he couldn’t get her out of his head.He found himself daydreaming calling her name as he jumped up from his bed.Unable to move on as he felt a major part of him had been destroyed.
