Siblings In Love

Episode 13

Ella
‘I was sorry for what I said but now, I am angry. He dare to leave me and go home? Whatever, I’ll stay till the scheduled day. Yunno, girls and our pride. I wanted him to call me and beg me to come home. I am not even begging him again since he had the heart to hang up on me when I was crying and begging him’ I thought to myself.

But it’s all lies, am just trying to pretend like I don’t care, deep down I really wanted to have my brother back. I’ve not even rendered a heart felt apology to him. I was just frustrated, my thoughts keep going back and forth. Finally, I’ve bitten more than I can chew. For how long will he be miffed with me? Hope he doesn’t change totally? Will he ever forgive me?… All this thoughts was running through my head as I lay on my bed staring at the ceiling. I checked my phone over and over again but he’s not calling. I tried calling him several times and his number was unreachable, hope he has not blocked me from calling him?

“He’s not calling, he won’t call. Well done Ella, you’ve finally pushed your brother to the edge” I said to myself and started crying all over again, such a bad day!
That night, Mom called to check on us and to know if we’re still coming back on Friday. I said ‘yes’, I didn’t even tell her that Mike is on the way. We don’t ever take a night bus, but Mike did. Guess I must have irritated him a lot that he just wanted to go away from me through any possible means.

The next day, I didn’t stand up from my bed till 11am. I thought of what Mike said about Emmy and hoped that it wasn’t true. I quickly took my bath, ate and headed to Emmy’s hostel without informing him. I wanted to ask him again ‘Do you really love me? On opening the door, guess what I saw? Emmy kissing and unbuttoning one girl’s shirt on bed.

Oh my God! See heart attack, isn’t this the same idiot I fought Mike for? He didn’t even wait for me to reconcile with my brother before betraying me. Shit! Things just got messed up!

On sighting me, Emmy jumped out of the bed. ‘thought you went home this morning’, I didn’t even talk to him, I didn’t run away either, just stood there moping at him. The girl dressed up “Emeka you tried oh, you didn’t even lock the door” she said shamelessly and left. I didn’t recognize the girl’s face, I don’t think she’s a student in my school sef. Baba now started….

Emeka: Ella, I can explain.
I was too shocked to talk, my legs were just pinned to the ground.

Emeka : Am really sorry Ella, pls hear me out. It’s not what you think. I promise, I didn’t expect this to happen… Bla Bla Bla.

This is not where I should be right now.

Ella : Dog!… I finally said and turned to leave. But he held my hand…

Emeka : Ella pls..

Ella : Don’t touch me

Emeka : Am so sorry Ella, pls I really love you. Don’t go pls, hear me out”…. Still trying to hold me back

Ella : I said don’t touch me!!.. I hit him so hard on the head that he fell down. I didn’t care, he can die if he wants to. He’s definitely the least of my worries right now.

Weirdly, I didn’t cry. I just went straight to my hostel and started packing my stuff, I am leaving with the first Okeyson bus tomorrow morning.
