TRAUMA (Pains of Love) - Season 1 - Episode 16

BECKY’S HOUSE
:
I felt like where I stood should open up and
swallow me as mom walked towards. Her
fleshly thighs dancing to the tune of her
rhythmic steps. I thought of what to do and no
idea was forthcoming but immediately she
stood infront of me, I quickly ran into her arms
and she held me tight.

“Mom! I think I’m beginning to like the head
boy and I hate myself for it because I want to
hate everyone and David always looks hurt
each time he sees me with Eric,” I blurted out
as tears began to flow from my eyes.
Mom perfectly understood me, so without
saying a word, she carried me up in her arms
and climbed the stairs, heading to my room…
:
INSIDE MY ROOM
:
Mom made me sit on the edge of the bed
facing her.

“Tell me everything,” she said and wiped my
tears with her palms.

I swallowed hard and began, “I had always
thought that I hated everyone and that’s why I
loved acting rude and arrogant but ever since
that morning I got to school late and the head
boy tried to get the puntuality prefect to
release me, I think I started falling inlove with
him coz each time he spoke or speaks, I
always allow myself think of running into his
arms to hug him. Mom I’m scared, I vowed
never to love anybody but here I am, please
help me,” I cried and placed my head on
mom’s shoulder while she petted me and
carressed my hair soothingly.

“Becky!” Mom began. “One doesn’t choose
when to love because love is a feeling that
comes unexpected. Besides you’re only
fourteen and way back too young to be in a
love relationship but I knew it would inevitably
come to this, so I was fully prepared. I have
seen David and spoken to him at length and
will also like to see the head boy, so when you
get to school tomorrow, inform him and if he’s
convenient, he’s free to come home with you
tomorrow. It will enable me trash this out once
and for all because you’re only in Ss1 and
really need to study hard and not to think of
boys and relationship,” she concluded.
I held her tight after she had concluded her
statement. “Thanks mom, I’m proud I have an
understanding woman like you as my mother,
And you know, I even dreamt of him,” I smiled
a bit.

“You will always dream of the one you love, I
dream of your father too,” Mom said trying to
fight back her tears.

“I’m sorry mom,” I apologised. We held unto
each other for a while, then she released me
and stood up.

“Do the needful and come downstairs for
lunch,” she smiled. “You need to loose your
braids and plait a new one, I’ll help you loose
them after you’ve rested,” she added, pulled
my cheek playfully.

“I love you mom,” I smiled.

“I love you more my angel, hurry up, your
cousins will soon be back,” she said and
hugged me again before leaving my room.
I sat for a while thinking of Eric before getting
up to undress…
:
Soon I was downstairs again and by then, my
cousins were back. I couldn’t sleep as usual
after lunch, so mom helped loosen my
braids…
The day ended happily coz my cousins made
me laugh a lot. I even had to check my ribs to
make sure no bones got broken inside. As I
slept that night, I dreamt of David and Eric
fighting over me. A dream that still got me
thinking as I ate breakfast the next morning
and even as I walked to school…
:
PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL.
:
As we stood at the assembly hall, I couldn’t
stop glancing at Eric who stood with the other
prefects trying to make sure everyone
concentrated. Normally he was supposed to
have been at the gate because of late comers
but he decided not to leave the assembly hall
for reasons best known to him…

Soon, it was after assembly but while students
hurried out to their classes, I was hurrying
towards Eric, struggling to get through the
crowd of students at the door.

Finally, there I was, right infront of the person I
had started developing feelings for.
“Goodmorning seniors,” I greeted. I added “S”
to the senior because they were about six of
them but unfortunately, no one replied which
made me feel embarrassed. They simply stood
staring at me like a statue.

“Goodmorning senior,” I greeted again,
swallowing my pains.
“Someone should answer her na,” the head girl
said in a mocking tone.

I felt very angry and wanted to tongue lash
them but for some unknown reasons, I quietly
turned and walked towards the exit. Tears
formed in my eyes and I felt really bad that
instead of feeling sorry for me, They all stood
and laughed at me as I walked out of the hall.
“What could be the reason for this?” I thought
to myself as I walked along the path leading
to my class but no answer came forth but as I
entered the class, something else happened…
