I pushed more food in my mouth, my appetite was lost ad the food was tasteless, as I tried to steady the already my breaths . My mum was now watching Disney on my Tv, she had no clue Nonso had just left my room.. I glanced down at the pillow, where I hid the note, my mum glanced at me. She smiled but I knew she felt sleepy, she had bags under her eyes, and she looked awful.. I sighed. “Mum you can go now, I swear am I will be fine” I forced out slowly, She smiled and nodded as she got to her feet. “ I’ll be back in an hour” I nodded, as I smiled at her. It was hard hiding my pants.. My inner voice was yelling that I needed her to stay ‘What if he comes back' I shut my subconscious off. My stupid Inquisitive teenage mind wanted space to read the note, I itched to know what was in it.
