? Olly
“They should be here anytime soon” Sam said, plugging in his headphones
We’re actually in the studio
” Who?” I asked
“Tessa and Tamara” he replied and my heart skipped a beat
Honestly how I’ve been living in the past one week is surprising
If I should count the number of days I’ve eaten, it won’t exceed three days, my lips are so dry and my whole body is pale
I’m like a lifeless person living amongst the living, not seeing her, not talking to her nor hugging and kssing her, it’s driving me Gaga
I should have risked it and just go to her house but that’ll be like endangering her cos dad has spies watching us everywhere and if we’re seen together, I dunno what dad might do again
Mum has been coming over to my house everyday to console me but it seems it’s not enough to stop me from hurting
“Have you forgotten we told them to sing at the graduation party tomorrow?, They’re coming for the audition of the song today” Dino said
“don’t go sad again dude” Teddy said and patted me
Since it happened, he has been hanging out with us
I’ve even forgotten about my movie with him, how will I have time to think about movie shoot when I’m hurting?
The door pushed open and Tamara came in first before Tessa came in
I held my breath as we stared at each other, she has grown pale just like me and she’s so thin, she stood on her spot, staring at me till Tamara nudged her
“Move Bess” she said and Tessa nodded before coming in fully
“Welcome Guys” Sam said as Dino hugged Tamara
“I missed you” he said and Sam smirked as I kept staring at Tessa who kept looking at the ground
“You live together right?, Why do you want to make us jealous still? ” Sam asked
” She has been with Tessa since last week in case you dunno so zip it” Dino replied and pecked her on both cheeks
I badly want to do this too but I dare not, who knows who might be watching us?
“Audition time” Garrett announced and they both put on their headphones and stood in front of the mic as they started singing
?I am the path, and you are the light, I am the journey and you are the home ?
?You show me the way, to get to your side, you shine me your light, I can never get lost?
? Cos we are destined, we are meant to be, we’ll be together, till the end of time ?
?I am the Mickey, and you are the mouse, if you are the boonie, then I am the bear?
? I’ll be with you lover, till dawn, till the morning ?
?Cos we are destined, we are meant to be, we’ll be together till the end of time ?….
I dunno when I started crying as I listened to the song, it’s making me so emotional and if I don’t get outta here, I might do something stupid
I slithered out unnoticed and Aaron drove me home
Can I still endure???
? Tessa ?
Everyone cheered as we ended the song
“These voices, are they from this planet?” Teddy asked and Tamara giggled
“Wow!, Tessa and Tamara you guys have voices second to none, the song is just perfect!” Loretta commented
“baby you’re amazing, and Tessa I love that voice” Dino said
“I have nothing to say other than it’s perfect!” Sam said
“you two, are you fallen angels or what?” Garrett said and everyone laughed except me cos I don’t find it funny like before
I searched with my eyes for Olly but he’s nowhere to be found in the studio
I guess the others noticed too
“When did Olly leave?” Sam asked
“I have no idea” Tamara replied
“Maybe during the audition, Olly is naturally emotional and the song itself is emotional so maybe he left cos the emotions are drowning him” Dino replied and by now, I’m crying already, I ran out of the studio and can’t find him outside
I badly want to see how he’s faring, and I noticed bruises on his hand too..
“Tessa please take a chill pill and calm down, everything will be ok” Tamara said, coming with the others
“it seems impossible, can’t you see how pale he is?, He’s sick” I said though I know I’m not exceptional
” Do you think you’re exceptional?, Just take a look at yourself?, You look pale too and I know you both had not been eating well, that’s why you both became thin, just take a look at your revealing collar bone” Sam said
“guys, it hurts” I wishpered
? Jung Nora ?
“Ouch!, Oh my g©sh you’re so good!, Go deeper!, Do it man!, Yes that’s it!, This feels so good!”
I can’t seem to have enough of him, it’s been long since I had so much fun like this
I mean he’s very good!

“You must not disappoint me tomorrow” I said after he drew out of me and started dressing up
“I never lose” he replied and winked before going out
? Tessa ?
Graduation party day
“These earrings are pretty, did you buy them?” Tamara asked as we dressed up and she helped me put on the earrings, I’m wearing a white long gown, one of those that chairwoman got for me
Tamara is wearing a short blue gown
“The earrings are a gift from Olly, parting gift” I replied sadly, rubbing the earrings on my ear
“Don’t you dare brood again, just smile bestie, it has been long since you smiled” she said
” What is there to smile for?” I asked and she frowned
” Do you want makeup?” She asked
“Ani (no)”
“daughter” dad said, coming downstairs
“Dad” I replied, standing up to hug him
“I’m sorry all these is happening, I’m really helpless here, I’m such a useless father right?”
“Ani aboji (no father), Don’t talk like that, you’re the best” I replied as the door pushed open and chairwoman came in with Nicky
“Tessa unni!” Nicky exclaimed and I hugged her tightly
” You are hurt right?” She asked
” A lot” I answered and she rubbed my cheeks
” Don’t be sad, everything will be ok, I got you a gift” she said and brought out a hairpin
She tucked it in my hair and I smiled
“Omma” I called and hugged chairwoman, she’s like a mother to me and you know why
” Don’t be sad like Nicky said, everything will be sorted out soonest” she said and patted my back
” Now cheer up and go sing out your heart” dad said and I smiled at him
“Let’s go” Tamara said and we went out together
???????
Getting to the graduation party hall, we were restricted from entering
“Juniors are not allowed” one of the guards said
” But we were invited by the GOLDS” I said
” That’s right” Tamara added but these guys are too adamant
“Let them in” Sam said, coming behind us with the others including the BBS
“Yes young master”
We went in and sat round a table, we were given a cup of wine each and I managed o gulp down a little before dropping the glass cup
The party is in full swing already and dancing in twos have started
“Who has seen Olly?” Dino asked
“He said he’s not coming” Sam answered and we all went mute
Becca held my shaky hand under the table and gave me an “all will be fine” look
I nodded as I rested my head on her shoulder
? Now isn’t it time to listen to a cool song?
The students cheered
? This time around, neither the GOLDS not the BBS will be performing, it’s another upcoming stars sponsored by the GOLDS and BBS, Tessa and Tamara!
“Go girls” Sam said and they clapped to cheer us up
Seeing the GOLDS and the BBS clapping,the other students clapped too as we mounted the stage and started singing
We received a loud ovation from the students
? Their voices are angelic!
? Can’t believe they can sing!
? I want to be like them!
We were about to finish singing when I suddenly saw Olly coming in through the main entrance
I thought they said he wouldn’t be coming
? Olly ?
I truly planned not to come cos the thought of seeing her and not being able to talk to her is agonizing
But as time goes on, I really want to see her, I want to touch and kss her as usual, I want to do everything with her…I can’t hold it in anymore
I got dressed up to my taste and Aaron drove me to the party
I can hear their singing voices already, I rushed in and saw her on stage with Tamara
I gathered a little patient to let them finish up before climbing up the stage, I can see the look of surprise on her face and everyone is staring but I don’t care
I grabbed her by the shoulders and crashed my lips on hers, I kissed her and surprisingly, she responded and everyone cheered
She suddenly pushed me away and ran out of the hall.
I ran after her till we got to the flower garden
“Tessa!”
She looked back at me and her face is already swelled up with tears
I went closer
“What do you think you’re doing Olly?, Your father’s men are everywhere, if they see this do you know what it means?”
“I know but I did it cos I can’t keep it in anymore, I love you Tessa”
” And who says I don’t love you too, I’m madly in love with you Olly and it’s like I’m gonna die soon but fate is being cruel, please go, ka(go)”
” Should we abscond then?, We should run away together”
” What of my dad?, And I know you’ll say we’ll take him along but you know yourself that even if we take him, it’ll take your dad just few days to find us” she replied
” Tessa…
“Olly chebal….let’s not put ourselves in danger”
She turned to go but I suddenly saw two red danger lights on her back, I became alarmed and faced where the lights came from bit couldn’t see the person who’s about to shoot
I covered her and the lights shone on my chest instead, almost immediately, I was shot, in two different places, my chest and my stomach
? Tessa ?
“Oliver!!!!!!” I screamed and rushed back to him as I heard the gunshot
Oliver was shot! On the chest and stomach
I knelt beside him and placed his head on my thigh, he’s still conscious
“Oliver please, you can’t do this to me, you can’t give up, you can’t do this” I wailed in hot tears
He raised his hand up to my cheek and rubbed it with a faint smile on his face as tears fell from his eyes…he’s bleeding profusely from the shot areas
“I’ll always love you till the square of eternity, my Crazy Tessa, silly nodule” he said and his eyes closed
” Oliver irona (Oliver wake up)!, Oliver you’re joking right?, Please wake up!!!” I shouted as hot tears rushed out of my eyes
” Ma’am, what happened?” Aaron said, running to us
“What happened to young master?”
“Someone shot” I replied tearfully as he dialed a number and an ambulance arrived in a jiffy
I followed the ambulance with him to the hospital and Aaron promised to come after receiving a call he’s about to receive
We got to the hospital and Olly was quickly admitted and prepared for immediate surgery
I sat at the reception, pacing around as chairwoman entered with the GOLDS and BBS, guess they heard about it already
“Where’s Olly?” Chairwoman asked impatiently
“He’s going through surgery” I replied, sitting on the floor
“Who could have done that?, What has Olly done to the person?” Sam lamented
.
Suddenly, cops rushed in with the chairman and Julian
“Arrest her” chairman said, pointing at me
“What do you mean by that?” Chairwoman asked
“She’s the one who shot my son, if she can’t have him, she decided to kill him” chairman replied
“you must have misunderstood Alec” Mrs Yvonne said
” There is a witness” chairman said and snapped his fingers
Aaron came in
I stood up in disbelief
“Aaron you?”
“Yes, I saw you shooting him”
