FOREIGN MATE

Anna pov I woke up with a throbbing headache after last night clubbing that left me intoxicated beyond what I had anticipated.I still can't believe Tony cheated on me with his step sister like who even does that, isn't that considered to be incest.He even had the audacity to apologize and claim that he was in love with her and not to tell anyone since their parents would literally kill them for that.He claimed that love is love and they are not to be blamed for their feelings. Lucy the stepsister even cried expressing how sorry she was that Tony chose her instead of me.They f*****g had no intentions of hurting me.All this time I tried to hold my tears but they fell freely,damn I really loved that man like a fool and look where it got me.Tony sweetly asked me to leave his apartment since it would affect Lucy if I continued to stay there.I don't even know why I left my shared room with a friend to move in with him,guess it's love.He went ahead to give me some money to rent a room for myself and I have never felt so cheap in my life.He suggested we can still be friends and that was the last straw as I struck his face,spit on him and left with my things,well I took the money I sure need it to start a new life After I left I hooked up with my friend Tasha and to console me she suggested with hit a club in town and drink away my sorrows.Nairobi is always busting with activities even in the late hours of the night and it was easy to get into one of the most notorious club known for its loud music and messy activities,The Kings. We had fun all night and I remember crying at some point then continued dancing,it was the only way to forget all this.Tasha brought us to her place and I'm just waking up to realize she left for work.She left me a note saying she made breakfast and should consider staying over for a few days before I figure things out. I'm 24 years old and a teacher at a certain high school in town.I majored in English and had considered going to a foreign country to teach English.I had applied for training course in Italy that would allow me to teach English as a foreign language.I received an email that said I had been accepted to go to Italy under an organization that sponsors people like me.I had spoken to Tony about it but he was against long distance dating so I didn't respond.I think it's time I thought about myself and replied to that email and go live my life elsewhere,start afresh in a place no one knows me and I have no one anyway since my parents passed in a car crash when I was 9.I grew up with my aunt who didn't like me very much but had to due to obligation and kicked me out as soon as I turned 18,she cut off any contact with me and haven't heard from her in years.If I left for Italy I guess they wouldn't even care they have always seen me as a leech that had to be rid of.
