RILEY
Two days later,
The moment I opened my eyes this morning,
I jerked out of the bed.
Today was the great day I was waiting for.
The day I was going to show my talent and my self to the world once more.
I was tense even though I shouldn’t be.
I practiced and wriggled my legs and then massaged them myself.
I wish they won’t disappoint me once again when I go there.
I took my bath and by the time I came out,
My aunt was already in my room and sitting down on my bed smiling at me.
I gulped and appreciated her in my mind.
“Good morning aunt”
“Hope you slept well? “She asked me and I nodded going over to my closet to get some clothes for myself.
“Yeah I did, ”
“That’s cool,
So what next? Can you dance? ”
She asked and I turned to look at her,
No, I don’t think I can dance that much but I will really try.
At least, with some tactics,
I might come out great again.
“I can, with some help, I can”
She smiled reassuringly at me and I turned my front to the wardrobe picking out clothes until I felt her hugging my back.
I stiffened immediately.
“You have my support”she kissed my hair and I felt somehow.
These past two days,
I’ve been keeping to myself but she just made me feel like I want someone to pity me.
“I know I’m not your mother and you never took me as one but… I love you”
“Aunt… “I called feeling really loved all of a sudden.
“I love you and am going to support you in all the way that I can”
I nodded as tears streamed down my face even though I didn’t want to cry.
She turned my front and I began to look at her,
She held my both shoulders and then smiled at me.
“Make me proud Riley”
“I will aunt”I mumbled falling into her arms and weeping on her shoulder.
I don’t know why I was crying but I just wanted to.
I felt like I should cry.
I felt like I wanted someone to pity me just for once!
I felt like I needed someone to tell me that he\she loves me,
I felt like I needed love right this minute and she told me that she loved me.
“Its okay Riley, go and make me proud….
Three hours later,
I was there,
LANX….
Everywhere was filled to the brim.
I saw Riele.
I saw everyone who hated and liked me.
I saw every face and every person who used to and is still my fan.
When it was my turn to show myself to the crowd.
I messed up!
I knew I did!
I was dancing like a beginner!
I was dancing like I was forcing myself to!
Every eyes were on me.
Murmurs everywhere!
I was scared!
So scared of what I dreaded most.
?Jeez!
?She has lost her dancing legs!
?This is her second fall in just twenty minutes!
?She really can’t dance again!
The piano playing the song of Alan-walker –Faded was doing his best but I was still messing up with my dance steps .
I danced until I was called off the stage…
A big shake to my pride…
?Jeez! I thought its because of the accident that happened to her but its not!
?She has lost her legs!
?What happened to her?
?Is she faking that or just being real?
And on it went for days…
I began to draw into my shell as I went from one dance show or company to another and I kept bringing myself shame!
Riele always took the trophy all the time.
At each end of the day,
She won!
She always won!
I realized how my life is going to be like.
I stopped going to concerts, to interviews when sent for and I stopped going to shows and companies.
Its obvious,
Its really clear in the clouds,
Moon,
Sun,
Day and night that I can’t really dance again!
I’m a fancy ballerina!
A ballerina who can’t dance the balls!
But only a ballerina in body.
I can’t even do a thing again about dancing!
My names are used as memes and jokes everywhere I go.
I can’t even face people.
I can’t even come out in public!
I can’t even speak to people anymore cuz everyone will like to tell me whom I am.
And how bad I can be in dancing the balls I claimed to dance all my life.
I began to withdraw away from people and for the first time in my life,
I became serious about schooling.
I stopped caring about how people will think of me.
How and what people will say about me as it is crystal clear that they have said all of that to me directly or indirectly.
Riele is the new bee in town!
Every newspaper, magazines, radios, news and almost every one spoke about her.
It churned me with hate each time I recalled how she made me this way.
Its nothing, its all in the past already after all, it almost over a year now.
This evening,
I washed myself and dressed myself clean,
I walked out heading to the library so I could read for my exams which I will have by next week when someone called my name ;
“Riley”
I stopped recognizing the voice of that person.
Carson.
I hissed taking three paces forward before he grabbed my arm,
“Riley, you’ve been avoiding me for almost a year now! ”
Why won’t I avoid him?
I avoid everyone!
I don’t want anyone not even him to pity me or tell me about my condition.
I wriggled my hand away from his grasp and walked away again before he held me back again.
“Riley, you’ve been avoiding me!
What did I do?
Each time I see you and want to talk to you,
You act as if you don’t know me”
I scoffed.
“Is there something I did that made you keep yourself away from me? ”
“Yes! Yes Carson! ”
I bursted out.
Seeing his face is the problem!
“What’s the problem? ”
“You… I don’t want to see you again! so please stop bugging me!”
His jaw dropped looking at me,
I knew I shouldn’t say that to him,
I knew I shouldn’t continue pushing him away cuz he didn’t do anything wrong to me but,
I don’t want to be around anyone at all,
I don’t want to be with anyone,
I rolled my eyes at him and walked away.

CARSON
This is hundreth time she walked away from me for over eight months now,
She hurried away and I smirked.
Everything I wanted to tell her,
Everything I wanted to say to her are always stuck in my tummy each time she walked out on me.
Since she lost out,
Since everyone laughed at her,
Since she couldn’t dance anymore and everyone referred to her as a fancy ballerina,
She’s been sulky and never wants to speak to me.
How much I wanted to tell her that am no longer a blockhead since I got an A in my mathematics examination.
How much I wanted to tell her that I’ve learnt the piano and how to play the violin apart from guitar.
How much I wanted to tell her that I missed her bad mouth,
How much I wanted to tell her that I’ve changed my apartment since I began to go for shows,
Playing the piano, the guitar and violin for shows got me plenty money.
How much I wanted to comfort her about her sudden downfall.
How much I wanted to tell her that I’m no more someone who wanted pity from anyone.
And so much more!
So many more that I had to tell her but she kept pushing me away.
Walking out on me and acting as if I never existed before.
A call pulled into my phone,
**RIELE**
I hissed picking up the call and she was crying over the phone,
MUST READ : HERBAL CURE OF SKIN TAGS
?What’s wrong?
Why are you crying?
?Your brother just forced himself on me!!
She sobbed and I gasped,
?What did you just say?
?Your brother force….
Cries won’t let her speak.
I was in a fury.
What?
Why would Damien do that?
It she doesn’t love him,

Must he do something like that?
I hurried off to know what’s wrong that could make her cry….
Twenty minutes later,
I was in her house already,
I ran to her room and saw her sitting on the foot of her bed half nked and sobbing with all her body shaking.
The sight was so unbearable.
“What happened “I asked rushing to her side.

Gosh!
Damien came out of nowhere and ;
“Hmmmm, you’re here to save her arent you? ”
I was boiling with anger,
“How dare you monster!
How dare you do this to a girl? “I asked rushing to him.
“Woman? She’s my girl or don’t you know it? ”
I kcked his face….
