Desperation.

"good morning, hope you slept well?" vee asked. "I did but I have been thinking about something lately" Nonye replied. "what's the matter?" vee inquired. "I need to get employed and raise money for the abortion" Nonye added. Nonso really did this to me after all the promises, I can't believe if I was fore-warned . "we really need to go to his hostel" vee said. since he blocked you from calling, we can see him at least" vee added. I'm in unknown place looking for shelter while I got family to stay with. what kind of mess have I gotten myself into? I kept saying in my mind. how is Nonye faring with the pregnancy? this question kept crossing my mind too.

.......

"hey Nonye the room is locked" vee said and I think we should wait for him. Nonye and vee waited not knowing I'm long gone. "Hey try breathing, Nonye don't do this" vee cried for help. Nonye couldn't bear it knowing that I'm gone. vee tried her best with the help of people who were around too, Nonye was resuscitated. Nonye wept going back to vee's apartment. "hope I'm not making the wrong decision", no I'm too young to be a father. all could see surrounding me was fear. I cried and prayed for forgiveness too. hope God forgives my soul.

..........

"hey girl, check this out" vee said to Nonye. wow, nice! Nonye exclaimed. "I'll apply for the post tomorrow" she added. "maybe God is showing me mercy and calling me back to track" Nonye said smiling at vee. a happy moment after all these days of sadness, luckily for Nonye she got employed. Nonye needed this money urgently and she pleaded with her boss for an upfront pay.

........

"he agreed" Nonye said happily barging into vee's apartment. "so how was work today?" vee asked. "I'm happy because things are working out in a bit" Nonye said hugging vee. she was full of happiness because she has gotten money for her pregnancy abortion. "we'll be leaving for hospital next week" Nonye said. vee hugged her and whispered " I'll always stand with you".
