zigginah

Tear-stained cheeks, my mascara was now an ugly smudge after being ruined with all the crying I had been doing for the past hour. I could not recognize myself as I looked through the mirror. The more I stared at myself the more the tears. I could hear them in the next room. Their moans enraged me and made me feel like throwing up. I retched but nothing came out. 

Disgust is what I felt.


My life had turned out to be a chaotic mess and I wondered what I had done to deserve all that. I was a good person or so I believed.

I smiled through the pain and thought to myself that everything was going to be okay. I did not believe that myself but I had to tell myself to keep going or I would be stuck in a loop with my past trying to set myself free...

DAWN.

The person he met at the door was not someone he was expecting to see.

It had been long since he had last seen her maybe it was because he had never bothered going looking for her.

It had been months since he had last seen Chery and he has just assumed that she had moved away to some other state.

Given their history, she was not so. one he would want to see. Seeing her wouldn't take him back to the ages when he was deep in drugs.

That was a sheep that he had set sail a long time ago.

"You ain't even going to say hello?", she asks him chuckling.

" Am sorry my and am just shocked to see you here that's all ", he says as he continues walking and she follows him behind.

" Yeah I can see you're not that thrilled to see me, I thought you would be excited to see me. It isn't a shock though given the fact that you blocked me. Why did you do that?", Does she ask him?
