Just The Beginning ?
Episode fifteen
Vee
” What are you doing here and how did you even find out where I leave? ” I ask George who’s busy looking at me.
George and Maya were busy giggling over something when I walk in and I don’t like the idea of him being here, at all.
Why is everyone suddenly showing up in my house, anyways?!
George stands and walks my way looking nervous.
” Am sorry but I didn’t have your phone number and so I asked Lisa for your address. Am really sorry I dropped in unannounced. ”
What is it with Lisa giving out my address! I really need to talk to her about this.
” Couldn’t you wait for tonight? I mean, it’s still very early in the morning don’t you think? ” I ask kind of mean glaring at him.
” I really couldn’t wait, I wanted to apologize for what happened yesterday with Alex. I know that he was very rude and I hate that I couldn’t do anything to stop him but I promise it’ll never happen again, ” he says, still nervous.
” It wasn’t your fault but I’d really appreciate it if you stay away from me. I really can’t stand your friend and I don’t want to be the cause of your friendship breaking .”
” Come on vee. George looks like a nice guy and you can’t punish him for someone else’s mistakes, ” Maya says.
” Stay out of this Maya, okay? ”
She rolls her eyes and storms to the bedroom angrily.
What the he..ll is wrong with this girl?
” Am sorry you had to fight with your sister because of me, ” he says softly and I can’t help but feel guilty for treating him badly.
” Would you please stop apologizing already! Look, I know of you are a nice guy and all, but I can’t give you whatever you want from me. Am not a call girl like your friend thinks and am not interested in making friends. I just want my life to be as simple as it has always been and I really appreciate it if you don’t show up here again. ”
George has a frown on his face and looks down in disappointment. I hate doing this to him but I have enough drama in my life, I can’t afford anymore.
” I understand where you are coming from but just so you know, i don’t see you as a call girl. I really like you vee and all I want is to get to know you better. I couldn’t sleep last night just thinking of how hurt you were and that’s why I decided to apologize to you first thing in the morning,” he say sighing softly. ” It hurts that you don’t want anything to do with me but I respect your decision. I promise I won’t bother you again but if you need me, I’ll always be here for you. ”
He smiles at me lightly and then walks out.
I really hate myself for doing that to him, but its for the best.He just admitted to liking me and there is no way I’d ever reciprocate his feelings and sincerely speaking ,my life is complicated enough as it is.
I lay down on the sofa still deep in thought and I think I have a slight headache. Am really scared of my uncle finding us and I still haven’t decided on what to do yet.
Why did he have to find us?
I really don’t think I have enough strength in me to face him.
” You didn’t have to be rude to him.” That’s Maya.
” I wasn’t rude, I was just being honest with him,” I say sitting up. ” I don’t like the fact that you are letting strangers in the house Maya, What if he was a serial killer? Or worse, one of Peters spy! You have to stop been careless, especially now. ”
” Why do you always think of the worst scenario vee? George looks like a nice guy and he likes you. The best part is he’s also a lawyer and can help us out. Don’t you think he was sent from heaven? ” she says with excitement.
” I hope you didn’t tell him anything about Peter. ”
” Am not that stupid, okay? ” she says shaking her head.
“Good! ”
” Why are you so scared of falling in love? Dont you think it’s about time you let someone in? You are the most beautiful and kindhearted person I know vee, you deserve to be loved and taken care of and there’s no better person for that than George. ”
” That will never happen. The only thing People are good at is disappointments and I’ve had enough of that already. Taking care of you is and will always be my number one priority, that’s all am breathing for. ”
” That’s sweet but what will happen when I get married? Don’t tell me you’ll prohibit me from getting married to! ” she asks raising her eyebrows.
” Now that you mentioned it, I think we are both going to die as lonely old hags, and it’s about time you come to term with that, ” I let out a small chuckle and Maya burst out laughing.
” Not even in my wildest dreams, ” she say through her laughter. ” I surely will get married and have a lot of babies and I also want the same for you. ”
” I know but who would want to be with a rappe victim? I’ll never be able to live a normal life, that m©nster destroyed me completely ,” I say a tear dropping from my eye.
” George likes you the way you are vee.”
” Yeah, but am sure once he finds out about my dark past, he’ll just leave me .How can i expect anyone to accept me when I can’t even accept myself? ”
More tears continue falling as Maya holds me.
I was already content with the fact that I’ll always be alone and I didn’t want to get my hopes up. The mere thought of a man touching me scares the he..ll out of me.
I never got to live a normal teenage life or even have friends to talk to about boys or silly things that teenagers talk about. I’ve missed out on alot already.
I haven’t even had my first kss yet, but wait, does the kss Alex gave me count as a first kss? !
I sure hope not! The last thing i want is to have my first kss with my second worst enemy.
” You shouldn’t do this to yourself vee. You have every right to be happy just like everyone else, ” she says kssing my forehead.
” Maybe but there’s no way i’ll ever be happy with Peter out there looking for us. I know you don’t want to hear this but we’ll have to leave this place. You only have three months to your graduation and as soon as you are done with highschool, we are moving. Am really sorry.”
” It’s okay, I won’t give you anymore trouble. I know you always make the best decisions and I trust you. ”
” Thank you. ”
I stand and give her a tight hug. Am really glad that she understands because there’s no other way around it.
