The next day I woke up with a not surprising headache and I turned and tossed in my bed not wanting to open my eyes. Well, that is what I get for crying almost the entire night. Crybaby, you can call me that but I needed to do that. I was happy he apologized, even if he isn't sure I heard him but he did and he sounded so sorry and was sad because I wished it was sooner. At least he apologized and wants us to start all over and have the father-daughter bond I craved for every moment of my life. Another round of tears threatened to fall out but I restrained myself from allowing the emotions to get to me. Sniffing and cleaning my face, I stood up from my bed and felt dizzy so I had to sit back down so my head can get clear of any dizziness. When I wasn't feeling dizzy anymore, I stood up and took gentle steps to my

I couldn't understand what was going on. The sky keeps getting dark and I am sure it isn't close to evening yet. I am trying to understand my situation here and not freak out. This should be a desert. A desert? Why am I in a desert? I have never been to one before. How then did I find myself here?  Well, there is no one to answer my question so I just kept walking, ignoring the sand that keeps getting into my eyes due to the wind that is blowing. This place doesn't in any way seem familiar. Just sand, here and there. I couldn't even see a house or maybe a human being close by. Maybe this was a deserted place and I could see one up front. But… this is a desert my inner mind whispered to me but deciding now isn't the

“She mustn’t know I allowed what happened to happen” I woke up to a harsh pain on my head followed by voices talking. I muffled the groan that wanted out of my mouth and tried to open my eyes but they refused to. Could be the heavy pain in my head, can't handle another harsh blow from the rays of light. “I really want to get rid of her but I cant at the moment, I need to sort out some things before we can proceed to the next stage,” he said. “But sir, can I ask why you want her dead?” “No you cannot” was his reply. “But she I-” I heard the cocking of a gun and someone being shaved against something and some things being knocked off to the ground. “You do as I say and stop with the questioning, I am the boss here remember that. I pay you and you obey, are we clear?” I heard no response from whoever he was talking to “Are we clear?” “Yes boss” the man replied and I heard more things being thrown on the floor and m

We arrived at the park in Apapa and I felt that deja vu and smiled then turned to look at my twin and she was already looking at me with a smile on her face. “You remember eh?” she asked and I nod. After about some minutes of looking for where to park, dad finally found a spot, and thank the LORD it was closer to the entrance of the park. On our way here, dad told us he wanted to take us to the beach first then to ‘Ikeja shopping mall’, then to ‘Shoprite’, before we will go to the local ice cream place in our street then back to the house. But instead, I and my twin agreed that we wanted to skip the beach and go to Apapa amusement park instead then we will go to the shopping mall then the ice cream place then back home. Great planning eh? Now, we are here and it feels great to be here again just that I am here with my twin and father, not my dear Leo. “I know you remember your time here with Leo, eh?” she nudged me wh

We have been in that position for about ten minutes now and he isn’t saying anything. Just looking at me and me at him with my arms crossed and his in his pocket. I am still waiting for him to give me a valid reason or rather an explanation as to why he thought it was cool to come over to my parent's house without telling me first, not like I would want him here or anything but still he would have told me. My parents aren’t even around yet, just my twin upstairs and me just coming from a very lovely time with my dear friend, Leo. Now I came home to meet someone who just wiped that smile I had not long ago away. What if Leo decided to follow me in and meet him here in the parlor? What will he think? Will he get mad? Yeah, I think he would, considering the tension around them whenever they are in the same vicinity. He would be so, so angry and I really would not be able to deal with two babies going back and forth at each other. I can't handle that. Not
