Please, this is an excerpt from a novel am working on. Comments, criticism is more than welcome

*****
Her screams pierced into the night shattering its stillness. Beads of sweat designed her forehead despite the cold air that blew in through the parted curtain. More screams. She tossed and turned but still remained imprisoned in her dreams.
Ther was a cracking noise as the door swung open. Bayo stood, a puzzled expression on his face as he watched her dream dance. Just as she was about falling off the 4 1/2 mattress, he caught her.
Like a doll, he gently helped her to a sitting position, her screams had dissolved into sobs which shook up her body from time to time. Moved with pity, he reached for her and hugged her. She easily slid into his embrace, burying herself, not willing to trade the comfort she found in that simple act of gesture for a mountain of gold. Reluctantly, she let go of him.
'Thanks' she said quietly
Frowning, he adjusted his shirt and made to stand up when his eyes, all of its own accord, rested on her chest. What a sight! He hadn't even known she was this endowned. The forceful nature of the twins were threatening to burst open the light blue linen nightgown she wore.
He moved towards her like a magnet but caught himself just in time to look into her eyes. The 'lost stare into space' he received give him all the go ahead he needed. Hungrily, his hands reached, grabbed and squeezed all at the same time. She shrank away with immediate effect.
'Easy' he whispered
He tried again. Tough luck.
'Leave me alone! Are you insane?' She pushed away his hands then folded hers protectively across her chest.
'Calm down, don't shout'
'I won't if you go' she replied ' where is titi, your wife, my sister?'
'Long talk'
He ducked his head and reached for her grabbing her tits with his mouth. She pushed hard towards the direction she sensed he would be coming from but only succeeded a little as he stumbled back on the bed. Had her sight been perfect, this would have given her an escape route.
She grasped for her cane which laid by the side of the bed. As she tried escaping, she landed flat on the floor, upsetting the bedside table whose contents spilled noisily on the floor. Unfazed by the fall, she grabbed frantically for her cane.
Bayo got up from the bed, walked over to her and dragged her up with her nightgown.
'Am not here for all this drama'
'Leave me alone or i'll scream'.
'Your screams brought me here remember'
Lifting her up to the bed was futile as she was kicking wildly. He muttered under his breath then slapped her, it was followed closely with some blows which softened her up.
With new strenght, he pinned her down, glad for once that she couldn't see the monster look on his face as he had his way with her.

He let out a loud sign that made his friend look at him strangely. He smiled only with a side of his mouth trying to assure him or rather, himself that he was still sane.
It was past 10, the lecturer would be around from now. His eyes, like a magnet, scanned the hall, the hall was filled with different faces, people with strange culture and different background, all crammed up in one room to learn. He had the same mission – learn but ever since he had set his eyes on her, his whole world revolved around her. He was quite fulfilled with just seeing her but he knew he had to do something more.
He cracked his knuckles, a way of showing his nervousness. Another look from Mike made him get up from his seat, he placed his books on his seat to prevent anyone from coming to claim it but that didn’t stop him from telling Mike to put an eye on it for him. He walked towards the door and into the cool air outside. The breeze was a great welcome to him, he was sweating, he wasn’t surprised, their lecture hall was small compared to the students who registered for the course. He took out his handkerchief and cleaned his face rather hastily.
He stared right into space and could feel her eyes boring into his soul. Those eyes, the eyes that seemed to consume him even when they weren’t looking at him, the eyes that attracted him to her. There was her lips also, red as blood and full of life. He wondered if she would attend the lecture, she was absent from class the previous day. She was unpredictable. The other day, it seemed like she was not going to come at all, then in the middle of the lecture, she had walked into the class. Time froze as everyone, including the lecturer turned to look at her.
“Can you imagine?” Mike voice barged into his thoughts “The chairman announced that the lecturer is not going to show, what a waste of time”
His eyes fell to the huge pile of books on Mike hands, he had packed both of their books. He noted. He glanced at his wristwatch, he had been outside for thirty minutes and didn’t even realize it. His thought had travelled far and wide and had come back to center on one person. She. He didn’t even know her name. He had had a premonition that the lecturer would not appear. He shrugged his shoulders.
“Thanks man” he stretched his hands to collect half of the books. Together, they walked off towards the library.
Reading was not that difficult, it was concentrating that proved difficult. So far, he had learned to put a line to separate his academic life from his personal life and it seemed that line was about to be breached. He shut his textbook heavily, mumbled something inaudible to Mike and was about to stand up when he saw her. She was seated at the far end of the library, obviously buried in her books. He stared at her with curious intensity. Her hair fell and covered her face making it impossible to see her face fully. He watched her slowly and silently.
She stood up and walked towards the librarian with the textbook, he escorted her with his eyes. He watched her as one would watch a soap opera. She returned the book and smiled as she thanked the librarian. Her smile was perfect, showing off her gap tooth. She picked up her books and left the library.
He sat there for some minutes deliberating on whether to follow her or not. He decided on the former.
“Give me a sec, I’d be back”

'How would you explain this? i leave you for just two months and now this'

'But papa, it isnt my fault, things got out, '

'Your mother would be so disappointed if she was here'

'Papa, you have to believe me' she had waited all evening to discuss this over her father and make him to see her own side of the story 'i know i shouldnt have attended the, '

'You are so irresponsible'

She had had enough

'Come back here Sonia'

Her footsteps could be heard down the hallway as she ran away from the presence of her father. Her eyes were filled with tears she knew she couldnt shed. All she wanted was for him to listen to her and assure her that everything was going to be alright like the way her Ma always does.

All this was as a result of one dark and terrible night. She wished Jenny, her younger sister hadnt travelled with her dad. She shouldnt have gone for the party. Lizzie had convinced her to go. She had gone alrite but had come back just in time.

Recalling that fateful day as she entered her bedroom, she saw him. He must have followed her home. She remembered seeing his face throughout the party, and here he was in her bedroom. she had dashed fast for the door but he was faster than her. her screams were loud enough to turn every living soul deaf but no one came to her aid. Luckily for her the the HIV test she carried was negative but the pregnancy test was positive.

She had never dreamed of doing an abortion in her entire life and she wasnt ready to do any yet. she just has to keep the baby despite the odd circumstances surrounding it. she badly needed someone right now, someone to advice her and tell her the steps to take.

She cried herself to sleep that night.
