No I Can't

I opened the waste bag a little and peeped in it, it was the abortion pills. I looked at the girl who was also looking at me.

“How are you both related?”

“She’s my elder sister”

“She never told me she have a sister”

“Yes…she doesn’t always talk about me. My name is Peace” she introduced with a broad smile.

“Alright…

“She also said ‘Don’t miss my party’ to you and your sister” Peace added.

“Off course we won’t, you should be going” I concluded, expecting her to leave with her smile but she didn’t. She stood there and kept staring at me. My eyes caught hers but she still did not blink.

“Are you alright Peace?” I asked her, still staring at her.

“I need a favor from you and…I don’t want my sister to know about it” she lowered her voice and said.

“What is it?”

“I eavesdropped to my sister and Kate’s discussion and I found out that this is an abortion pills” she said, pointing at the bag she gave me” I was shocked but I pretended not to be.

“So…what does that have to do with the favor you want to request from me?” I asked but she took away her gaze from me and placed it on her feet and returned it back to my face after few seconds.

”Are you pregnant?” I asked her but she didn’t reply.

”Then you should have stolen one of the pills on your way here and abort your child without even telling me about it because I’m not giving you any of these pills” I replied and turned to walk inside because I was a kind of angry when I noticed that she is pregnant but she held my left wrist with her right hand.

“My sister will kill me if she finds out”

“She will still kill you and call me a traitor if she finds out that I gave you this pill. So…which do you prefer? For you to die and I keep my friendship with your sister or you die and I lose my friendship with your sister? If I were you, I will go for the first one” I said to her.

“I will talk to Isabella tonight” I smiled to her and also felt pity for her, wondering what she is passing by.

“I like your dimples” she said and smiled back to me.

Jane was massaging her face with lime flavored face cream when I walked back in. I dropped the pills on the table, grabbed my phone from the bed and peeped at it’s screen.

“It’s 6pm already? Are you going to Isabella’s night party?”

“To help you beg her about her little sister’s pregnancy?”

“I forgot you have long ears, are you going or not?”

“Is she done with her secondary school?”

“How did she even…wasn’t she smart?...wasn’t she learning from her sister? Or did they use a spell on her? Look I am a beautiful girl and I came into this life to live, prosper, survive, rise, climb, to win, to learn, to fly, to blaze, even to cheat. I didn’t come here to have sex with any boy that comes across me in this little life we are living. After all, sex is for the married, fornication is for little boys and girls. I love you…I will die for you, it’s all scam” Jane blurted out, still caressing her face.

“You are no longer a virgin Jane and you not married either” I scoffed.

“Whatever’

“It might be a mistake”

“Yeah…Unexpected pregnancies are always a mistake” she replied. I winked behind her and headed to the bathroom.
