I Should Hate You

0jnmeChristian didn’t know who to be more worried about, Lanre who was crying, or K who has an injury on his head. He had no clue what actually happened, but he just need to make sure K was fine. Apart from Lanre’s request, K was also his close friend. Despite their current differences, he could not just turn a blind eye. He noticed his phone was ringing. Just when he was about answering his phone when he noticed K stopped. He neglected his phone, got out of the car and rushed to see what was wrong.

Christian knocked on the window of the car expecting K to either wind down or unlock the car. But none of that happened. He kept on knocking and kept on calling out K’s name but got no response. Christian began to panic. He tried breaking the window with his elbow. After elbowing it twice, he realised he could not do it with his elbow. It was painful. He decided to continue knocking on the window.

K finally opened the door. Christian breathed in relief. At least K was still alive.

“You got me scared. I will drive you to the hospital”. Christian offered.

“I’m not leaving my car behind”. K muttered. Christian sighed. He told K they would take his car. As for his own car, he will send for someone to fetch it later. Christian helped K move over to the passenger’s seat while he sat on the driver’s seat. Christian drove the car to the nearest hospital where K got treated.

“Can you help me with your phone?” Christian asked K. K was reluctant. He asked Christian why he wanted his phone. Christian told him he left his phone in his car while rushing to check on him. So he needs to make a call with K’s phone.

“I can’t give you my phone. Take a taxi to where you left your car and get it yourself. I don’t give out my phone”. K said. Christian asked him since when he stopped giving him his phone. K didn’t answer. He had a frown on his face instead.

“The doctor said the sedative will soon start working. I will advice you put your head down so it doesn’t fall off”. Christian said before walking out.

“I should hate you! You got Lanre pregnant. I can’t possibly let you have anything that’s mine even if it is for a while”. K muttered. He felt the sedative finally taking over him. He closed his eyes willingly. There was no need struggling with a drug that will put you to sleep either ways.

Christian took a taxi down to where he left his car. He was relieved to have seen his car still in good shape. It was a rare sight, more like a gift. He got inside the car checked his phone to see that his phone has been spammed with calls from one person, “Lanre”. He thought she must have been really worried to have spammed his phone with calls.
