Abandoned Love

Chapter 3

Guilt filled the atmosphere, there were blood stains on the bed. I felt so ashamed of myself after the act. “

This is your first time” he asked me,

“yes”

I replied almost crying

Is okay I really love you and I won't leave you, he assured me.

He went out and came back with tablet

“ take this it will prevent you from getting pregnant”

I took the tablet, ate dinner and slept off

The next morning I was preparing to leave when his parents arrived fear gripped me. “What are you doing in my house” I heard a loud voice and I turned back, It was Paul's mother.

“Mom we came home immediately after the prom” Paul intervened

“I don't want to ever see you around this poor girl again,”

She yelled at Paul

she turned to me “ get out of my house”

Mom I love her so much and am not leaving her, I overheard Paul say to his mom, as I left the house.

I felt so ashamed of myself and blamed myself for following him to his house.

When I got home I cried myself to stupor.

My mom kept consoling me and asking me what the problem was but I refused to open up to her.

I kept crying till I slept off.

After two days I resumed school I was trying my possible best to avoid paul but he kept apologizing to me, I didn't pay attention to him, each time I see him,

the memory of what happened will flash to my mind.

He came to me with a lot of goodies and gifts asking me to forgive his mom’s behavior towards me.

Sandra kept urging me to forgive him and I finally gave in and forgave him.

We continued our love but I never visited him again because it's obvious his mother hates me.

The final exam was approaching and every student was preparing for exams.

Both of us always go to the library to study together.

“Which college are you applying he asked me on a random afternoon

“Hillton”

I replied, I will also apply for the same college I don't want to stay far from you, my parents. Instead I have to leave the country for my university education but I will apply in Hillton ,he said.

“ why!!

I shouted

Why would you misuse such an opportunity? He said he didn't want to stay far away from me because he loves me so much.

I smiled

“ I can do anything to keep you beside me," he remarked.

After the final exam,he took me to the beach, park , museum and different places I have never been to before.

we had fun and our love for each other grew stronger.

Paul's parents wanted him to attend Oxford but Paul insisted it's gonna be Hillton.

His parents finally gave in.

We both applied for the same college and when the admissions list came out our name was on the list, we were so happy. I thought we would be inseparable and far from home when we get to college.

My father had to work two jobs to pay for tuition fees, my mom also worked tirelessly to provide everything I needed as a college student.

On the day of my departure my mom cried and held me tightly,

“I will miss you so much and be a good girl” my mom muttered.

When I got to college I never struggled with anything or lacked anything, though I came from an average family, Paul provided me with whatever I wanted: money, clothes, jewelry, expensive bags, books, anything I needed in school he would always provide them for me.

My roommate l always says I am very lucky to have such a boyfriend.

He will always take me to the club every Friday night to have fun, drink and explore each other's bodies when we return.

I thought our love would continue to bloom until he started behaving strangely. He hardly calls me like usual or even takes me out like he normally does.

“Paul you have changed what is the problem..”

I asked concerned

“I'm just stressed,”he replied .

Though I was restless I just convinced myself he was being stressed by school activities.

I just finished reading and prepared to visit him. I bought him cheese and a burger on my way to his house just to make him happy.

“How can you visit me with out informing me” he said almost screaming at me

I was shocked by his reaction

“So I can't visit you again”

I asked. He sighed and left me there, I was dumbfounded just standing like someone beaten by rain.

I went back to my hostel thinking why Paul, the love of my life, grew cold towards me.

On Sunday evening I went out with my roommate to have fun

“Is that not your boyfriend?” Ruth my roommate said , pointing towards the other table at the bar, lo and behold it was my boyfriend with another girl.

I stood up and went to them,

“Paul, who is this?”

He pretended like he has never seen me in his entire life and denied ever knowing me in the presence of the girl, I felt so ashamed of myself,

“Paul, you don't know me???

I said almost crying and screaming at the same time, but he didn't care .

“Who is this cheap b***h” The girl chipped in ,

I gave her a slap for calling me cheap but he slapped me back for hitting his girlfriend.

I was so ashamed of myself with my eyes full of tears , I was already attracting attention at the bar so I had to shamefully go back to my table.

I have never been so embarrassed in my life, some girls at the bar were murmuring and laughing as I went back to my table.

I cried myself to sleep that night, I can't believe he did this to me.

The next day I went to his house but he sent me out , telling me not to come back to his life ever again since he has found a new lover.

I was heart broken and I felt betrayed

Paul's new girlfriend Anna kept flunting him all over the campus and on social media I always felt heart broken each time I saw them together.

I couldn't believe my first love that I gave my virginity left me for a random girl.

“stop crying and put yourself together you will find a better boyfriend”

Ruth, my roommate , consoled me but I kept crying. I couldn't stop thinking about him.

I remembered how we loved each other and promised to stand by each other but he betrayed me. I couldn't move on or concentrate because I miss him so much. It was really hard for me to move on but when I started moving on slowly the worst happened.
