Chapter Seventeen
SUNSHINE CITY HOSPITAL*
Asha was seated on a chair close to Tara’s bed as she held her hand.
She caressed her tiny hand softly and a tear dropped from her eye, she quickly wiped it and sniffed in before facing Tara again.
A drip was placed on her hand and she was finding it hard to breath as her chest heaved high and low.
Asha drew close to her and placed a kss on her forehead.
Her face was pale and her body was so warm. It’s been two days she’s been like this way and Asha was so worried.
But she was happy she had paid the full money and they have started the full treatment on her.
Earlier that day after school, Otto lended her the money and she promised to pay back by end of the month.She was so happy he helped her, he was more than a friend to her.
” Baby, am here now, please wake up. You know I can’t live without you right?” She asked but got no response as usual. She sniffed in and continued.
” I love you so much, mommy loves you a lot. When will you wake up huh? Will you wake up when I bring your daddy? Am so sorry am always lying to you…I don’t even know your dad…. ” She said as she trailed on her words, she brought out a pendant and smiled as she caressed the name written on it ” Josh”
” All I know is the name of your dad is Josh and I might remember him, if I see him.”
She was still caressing the pendant since, It’s been long since she laid her eyes on it. The pendant reminds her of her past painful experience.
She kept staring at the pendant as her mind walked down the rusty, old painful memory lane.
HIGH SCHOOL MOM : CHAPTER 1 – 20
***FLASHBACK…16 February 2019***
Asha stepped into the club dressing all black as usual. She went to the counter serving alcohol, after all that has been her life for few months now.
Her family needs money and she needs to make money to put food on their table. Being a sixteen years old, she was tall, beautiful and very mature.
Most times people would think that she’s up to twenty years old.
She would use her beauty to lure boys and deceive them in giving her money, after that she will run and most times delete their numbers from her phone.
And she needed to make money now, since her mom has been planning on leaving the house by taking them along.
He had refused to go at first because she wanted to take care of her father who is crippled.
Ever since, her father got into an accident and got crippled, his business fell and now they barely eat twice a day. That’s why their mother wants to leave.
” You are pretty.” A guy said as he drank alcohol from his glass. It’s obvious he was very drunk as his eyes had turned red.
” Do you need more drink?” Asha asked as the professional she is, ignoring him totally.
” Sure, how much for a night?”
” Am sorry, but am taken.” Asha replied and turned to serve other customers.
It was a club, a hot one but classy, she knows she wasn’t supposed to be there, but she had no choice. She worked so hard to get this job because it has good pay. It’s risky but has good pay.
Suddenly a guy who was dressed in all black entered the club. It seems like he’s been crying, bit Asha cared less, it wasn’t her business anyways. She always has her own issue to take care of.
” Can I get a glass of alcohol?” The guy who was dressed in black asked as he settled down on one of the chairs.
” Sure, it’s my job anyways.” She replied as she gave him a glass of an alcohol.

Thirty minutes later***
The two laughed hard as Asha kept hitting the bar counter.
The guy dressed in black was a very funny person, even though he was drunk, he told her lots of funny things which were true but funny.
The club was getting empty by the minute, Asha glanced at the wall clock and realized it was 10:15pm and she sighed deeply.
She couldn’t wait to go home,her younger sister will be waiting for her, she always waits for her despite the fact that Asha comes late, that’s how strong their love and bond is. she will have to go home by 11:30pm because by that time, everyone must have gone home and she will close up.
” So tell me, why are all dressed in black?” Asha asked and the guy belched loudly before turning to her.
” I went…for my mot.. her’s funeral.” He said. The excessive alcohol content in his brain slurring his words.
” Oh, am sorry about that.” She apologised and he waved his hand off.
” Nah, don’t apologise, it’s not your fault, it’s mine. I couldn’t save her…she was… dying and I couldn’t save her… It seems being an illegitimate child is a cur$e.” He said and started hitting his head on the table.
” Sir please stop, don’t injure yourself.” She said but he was sleeping already as he laid his head on the counter.
Even though he was drunk, he looked very handsome and cute when sleeping.
Few minutes the madame of the bar came and she gasped at the sight of Josh.
” Asha are you crazy?” The madame asked and she shook her head sideways.
” No, madame.”
” Then why did you keep this young man here? Do you know who he his? Take him to one of the guest room. He’s an important client.” The madame said.
” Ok madame.”
” Then, afterwards you can go home, don’t stay late today, it’s dangerous for a child like you… besides I have an important client today…so I will close up.” The woman said as she blushed so hard. Asha knew what she meant as she also chuckled.
” Thank you madame.” Asha said and walked over to Josh, she lifted him up and put his hand around her shoulder but he seems to have much weight as he almost weighed her down.
She entered one of the guest’s room and dropped him on the bed.
It was indeed a guest room, it was neatly arranged and very classy…it was for the Vip clients only and this young man was one of them.
Asha removed his shoes and laid him properly, she tucked him in the duvet and covered him. This has always been her job as a bar attender.
She was done and was heading for the door, when she felt a strong force pulled her and she landed on the bed.
She gasped when she saw Josh over her and he pinned her hands on the be.d. He was still under the influence of alcohol and his eyes was filled with pure lu$t while staring at her.
It seems he wanted something to calm him down and this beautiful damsel was sent to his aid.
” Sir please, just let me go.” She said as she struggled to push him but he was more stronger than her as he sighed her down.
” My vrgnty…please don’t do this… mommy please save me.” She whimpered.

The next morning***
Asha woke up as the sunlight shone directly on her face.
She used her hand to cover her face as she sat upright. She was the only on in the room.
She gasped when she saw herself inside the guest room and that was when the memories of last night occured to her.
She checked her nked self under the duvet as bIood stained on it and she burst into tears.
She had lost something that was precious to her to an unknown guy, she had lost her pride as woman and that shattered her into pieces.
She took a glance on the table and that was when she saw a bundle of cash alongside with a pendant.
‘ At least he kept so many cash, not many are this lucky’ she thought.
She carried the cash and a note fell, she picked it up and read out loud. ” Am sorry”.
She dropped the note and carried the pendant. ” Josh” she called as she caressed the pendant softly.

***END OF FLASHBACK***
She sighed deeply as she caressed the pendant softly.
” My life is so pathetic” she said and took a deep breath before she continued.
” An high schooler in the day and worker and mom at night.”
She kept the pendant back in her handbag and laid her head on the bed still holding Tara’s… gradually she drifted off to sleep.
