Lijah Happened

I walked downstairs holding on to the rails and checked one of the room.

"Godwin? Anybody here?" I shouted out.

I turned back to check the other rooms and 'woah'.

"God!!"

Godwin was standing just behind me. He looked physically hurt. He had an ice pack in his left hand.

What happened to his forehead? It's so red.

" What happened here? Where is everyone?"

" Lijah happened." He spoke while pressing the ice pack against his forehead.

I was unable to speak for a second. Maybe because it was totally unexpected.

" He came to the party and searched for you. Unfortunately when he entered the room, I was sitting next to you on the bed. He thought something was going on between us. He tried to wake you up but you were in your deepest sleep. Then he broke my vase, damaged my play station and hit me with my hockey stick. "

I got zoned out for a moment. What the hell did I do? I just ruined our relationship over some stupid drinks. Why do I ruin everything? I can make this right! I can, I must. I stormed out of his house and rode my cycle to Li's house.

" Aunt, where is Li?" I asked as soon as I reached there. She was standing there watering the garden.

" Upstairs. Just go and make things back to how it was."

I rushed upstairs and he was in his room. I could here the fan rotating. As the door was locked I knocked.

"Li just hear me out. I can explain this. Please, please Li, please."

I could feel my heart slowly stopping to pound. I drowned my heart in tears as he didn't respond a word back.

I wiped off my tears immediately and stood there poised as I heard the door unlocking.

He stood opposite to me, staring. I remembered the first time we stood like this. The way he pushed me gently into his room. I still remember that tenderness which still gives me shocks. I wanted that to repeat. I wanted it to repeat so badly. Just kiss me Li!

" Get out of my house." He spoke after a minute of staring.
