EPISODE 05:DAVE

Few months after I turned 15, I ran away from the hell hole I had stayed for almost 5 years of my life, by now I had enough cash stashed away as as milking my uncle and cousin for money,I didn't hesistate to steak when the opportunity arises, so I was ready to start life afresh. I made sure to go far away, changing states so as to avoid being recognised.

I got myself a tiny studio apartment downtown and due to my rapid growth or more like forced maturity, I looked way older than my age, infact I looked like a 20 year old. I then decided to get my life back on track and started doing all sorts of odd jobs to make ends meet,I was a part timer in almost all of the stores around working between shifts,but somehow all through the years, I had managed to keep I touch with Diamond and she of course always tried to help whenever she could and was supportive all through which was why my heart broke when she started having difficulties with her personal life but then that's not a story for me to tell and maybe just maybe someday she'll tell hers like I am.

After series of online classes and making sure I wasn't left behind academically, I finally enrolled myself in a school I could afford and my life was just starting to look less gloomy when I met him;Dave. Dave was one of the cutest and most popular guy in school,he was captain on the football team and still swam on the sides so yeah, he was freaking hot. To add to his credits, his family are extremely wealthy but academically he was as brilliant as a rock....yep,he was dumb.

But then, Dave started getting close to me and was super friendly can you belief it? the girl every girl wanted was being specially nice to me,often he would buy me breakfast and lunch and even cover up for me when I showed up late to class which was often due to my many part time jobs, and so probably because he was my only friend aside Diamond and he was super nice and cute,I found myself slowly falling in love with him.

Now, don't get me wrong,many guys had made advances towards me especially in school,I jad refused all bluntly and stayed on my own trying to be as invisible as I can so the guys left me alone and the girls kept their distances probably because they were scared of me but I couldn't care less, infact I preferred it this way. Pretty soon,Dave confessed he loved me and since I was already head over heels in live with him too,we started dating and to me, he was the perfect boyfriend, with him I glowed differently, I started smiling, went on dates with him and became very friendly.

I was willing to let go of the bitterness in my heart,forget my past and enjoy the present of course while planning my future with him, but alas how stupid I was.

Diamond who had frequently visited my place had only taken a glance at Dave and hated him,she said she didn't trust him, he was no good for me and I should drop him and call off the relationship but I had defended him hotly,said she was jealous and wanted me all to her self, called her a selfish depressed birch and walked her out of my apartment, which resulted In our ever first fight ad she'd slapped me and I had raised my hands on her twice and so she'd left.......but if only I had listened to her!!!

Few weeks after the fight,I had decided to take my relationship with Dave to the next level and had s*x with him and even finally told him all about me and all I had gone through, he had hugged me closely to his chest while murmuring sweet nonsense in my ears but then suddenly he changed. I noticed he became distant,snappy and snobbish, I was confused as I didn't understand what exactly was going on, I left totally alone and couldn't confide in Diamond as we haven't spoken since our fight and I couldn't reach out to her since I was afraid she'd judge me but still I kept up hope.

And then it happened, I was pregnant with Dave's child and a part of my was glad cause finally I felt I would have a proper conversation with Dave to know what the problem was, then we'd talk about how to go about the baby as I didn't mind dropping out of school or taking a break to take care of our child, after all we had planned to get married someday so why not now. So I sent a text to him telling him I was pregnant for him and he should come over quickly so we'd go tell his parents together.

It wasn't long after that he barged into my apartment where I've been waiting eagerly for him looking furious and mad as f**k. I approached him with a smile ready to embrace him and share the euphoria I was in with him but then he pushed me off and slapped me.

He then started with the name calling and rantings, he called me a b***h, a slut, w***e, bad luck and every demeaning name there was but still the yet was to come. Apparently, he made a bet with the other boys at school that he'll have me in his bed moaning his name in a space of two months but it wasn't even up to a month he already had, he said at first he'd thought I was a virgin which was why I was playing hard to get but l had turned out to be nothing more than a mother f*****g community bitchvand a dog.

I was broken but completely shattered when he said he doesn't blame my mother for running off and abandoning me and my dad for kicking me out( I was grateful here I didn't mention how I was molested and r***d by my uncle and cousin, reason being I was too ashamed to do so) nor did he blame my sister for dying as he was sure she wanted to get away from me by all means. By now I was as still as a statue, I felt dead inside and couldn't for a second breathe, it was as tho I had forgotten how to do so, but he didn't care less as he kept on, saying he was not the father of the bastard inside of me and of course everyone in school in knew about everything as before he'd come over, he'd made sure to not only show them the s*x tape he had secretly made with his face blurred of course but also tell them all I had told me and I was currently the trending topic and cheap w***e who's starved of love.

I looked up behind him and saw Diamond looking as tho she was ready to murder and damn the consequences, apparently she had heard all that he said judging from the look on her face, but what broke the camel's back was when he said he'd hoped he could have had Diamond but she was proving too stubborn and that was when it dawned on me that one of the reasons she hated him was because he had been asking her out secretly but she couldn't tell me outrightly because she didn't want to ruin my supposed happiness.

Diamond rushed at him like a lioness from behind and pounced on him, he wasn't expecting the attack, so he stood motionless at first, before he could retaliate, she took a bottle and broke his head,kicked him in ghe shin and bit his ear so hard he literally screamed while cursing and swearing with fury.

It was so funny seeing him pleading and begging that I started laughing hard till tears started flowing down my cheeks. When Diamond saw me crying,she left him and the scum ran out limping. I had half expected her to laugh and mock me or at least tell me she told me so but instead she took into the bathroom, removed my clothes, made me stand naked under the shower, gently scrubbed me as I stood motionless bawling my eyes out; once I was done, she turned off the shower,then took a towel, dried me with it, lead me towards the bed then made me a steaming hot cup of tea and rocked me till I slept!!!
