Chapter Twenty

It has been a week now since I haven't talked to Jimi, of cause I was pissed with his fright with Emma. I have never expected Jimi to break his promise, he gave me his word

"I will never fright again I promise" These were his words.

Not knowing what transpired between them, I do know it was all because he was jealous.

Calling first wasn't my thing despite missing him, I know how best to behave when am angry at him. Rejecting his call, yes, I was very good at that. Making his anxiety rise was what I was good at.

I was just going through my phone that evening, of cause I had the whole day to myself it was the Christmas holiday. My phone blip, it was Jimi's home contact, thinking it was Jimi, I decided not to pick up the call but it kept on ringing.

"what's the matter with you? I yelled at the caller thinking it was Jimi

"Sorry Miss Kira it's me"

"Kimi?

"yes"

"What is the issue?

"Miss, Jimi is ill"

"what about mom and dad?

"they have gone to the state and sis Titi is not at home".

On hearing this, I immediately left for Jimi's home without the notice of my parent.

On getting there, I meet Jimi laying on his bed.

"what's wrong with you? I asked sarcastically.

"lovesick" he replied flirting, I could see clearly that he wasn't sick rather he wanted to see me.

"Will you stop fabricating, get up my friend " I was sounding more like an order. Jimi got up and sat beside me.

"k, let's not be like this please"

"why not, I never felt you were this heartless. Look what you did to Emma just because you were jealous".

"jealous yes but not just that he messed with my mom, death, he will die if by next time he tries that. No one has the right to call my mom names no one".

Still talking to Jimi, Kimi runs to us.

"Timi is here"

"Timi" Jimi repeated before he immediately followed Kimi.

"what do we owe this visit? Jimi asked immediately he set his eye on Timi.

"Am back for good"

"you're back for good after three years of messing up"

"yeah, I messed up and am pleasing, am willing to make up for my mistakes".

"you are not welcome here"

"why not? Kira who has been listening to their conversation suddenly cut in.

"Kira please stay out of this, Dad will don't be happy if he comes back and find him here"

"He is your brother you missed him, you wish he could come home again "

"That's against dad decision"

"to hell with that Jimi, look there is no perfect person on earth your dad believes in perfection but he is not perfect. His beliefs only make him expect too much from your guys he is just like my mom. Stand for your brother and you will see the result".

What an angel Jimi thought to himself her words soften his heart.

"come let's go in"

They all went into the house but to Jimi, he wanted to know why did Timi turn bad.

"Tell me Timi what happens to you, why did you become like this?

"I wanted to please Dad, I wanted to do well in my exams it wasn't easy and it was hateful that after studying so hard I still failed but more hateful that my father always compare me with my younger brother". Then he takes a deep breath.

"I wanted him to see me too so I started taking Ritalin at first, it was really helpful. It became my exam tool I always take it before entering the examination hall. Coming home with good results Dad celebrated me. he got me a car but do you know I depend on this pill and could not be without it? I spend every money I have just to buy it, I sold my car just to buy it, and I stole dad money several times just to buy it. I tried to stop but I couldn't. Jimi I was once good I can be good again please help me take it to Dad, please!
