*New Story*

THE SACRIFICE.

Chapter 1

Let my life serve as a lesson to you, that was her last words to me, I should never have left her alone that night. I stopped walking as I took a moment to admire the environment, two lizard ran past me and I found myself jealous of their life. Humans are the caretakers of the world yet we are in chains by our desire, pride, responsibilities, and many other things. I continued my walk back home taking my time to admire the new neighbourhood since I find it more pleasing to the eyes than our last one.
It's always refreshing to be in a new city, the air feels different, the sun shines brighter and warmer, everything intrigues you. My family just relocated to a new town, and it's quite refreshing especially after my sister's incident, God bless her soul. Now we can finally put everything behind us. Am walking around taking in the environment, it's beautiful, the town is just what I need. I smiled as I got a wink from a really cute boy, yes this town has a lot of cute boys and they are quiet tempting since I made up my mind to avoid guys after my sister's incident.
"Whatever you want to say, I'm not interested" I said to the boyy as he tried to speak, my words left him speechless and I walked away politely. He is cute but not cute enough to shake my resolve I doubt any of them is enough to make me lose focus.
I walked slowly home, I'm not in a rush, I'm 18 years old through with secondary school, just waiting to write my jamb, I will soon find a tutorial center to start, I am hoping to find that tomorrow. My sister would've easily tutored me if she is still around, thinking about it saddens me, I was still lost in thought when I heard someone calling
"Neighbour, neighbour" I turned to see our next door neighbour waving at me "wait up" she quickened her pace to meet up with me. "Where was your mind, I have been calling for long" she said a little out of breath.
I gave her a sheepish smile "sorry" I said and she waved it off
"By the way am Lydia" she said
"Am Antonia, but you can call me Tonia" I said and we continued our walk home.
"So how are you liking the neighbourhood" she asked,
"So far so good" I said with a shrug, she then started telling me about the power situation and how it works, from what she is saying I found out that they use to have power issue till they bought new transformer. She greeted people as we walked home, I guess she is the popular type I'm just glad she didn't stop to have a chitchat with any of them because it would've been awkward for me.
We kept chatting and I am glad, she is a nice girl, I'm saying this because she didn't talk about anybody, even the ones that greeted us as we passed. Girls always like talking about people because gossip is in our nature, so any girl that doesn't is regarded as a nice girl to me and the best type of girl.
"This road use to be a mess but it's now super cool." she said, you see? She keeps talking about environment, I hope she grows up nicely, she is younger than me.
"Why are you not in school" I asked since today is a school day, she smiled
"Had a stomach issue earlier today" she said and I just nodded, not long after we reached our houses, mine is the first.
"Do you like novels?" She asked, I just nodded, I actually don't but come on who will ever say no, saying yes makes you look cool. "Good, come over I have one for you" she added gesturing me to come. If I knew it was a means to an invitation I would've been truthful, not that I don't like the invitation I would've been miserable at home alone. Since she invited because of books, she will now give me a book to read which will bore me to death.
"Alright" I agreed anyway and followed her to her house. She smiled, there is something about her smile, it's not just a smile, she is happy that I accepted, it made me feel special and at the same time bad for lying.
"Nobody is at home" she said as she unlocked the door with her key, she urshered me in. Unlike our bungalow which I describe as cute, their house is a duplex and very elegant, the first thing that draws attention is the picture enlargment of her parents. I looked around the sitting taking in how clean it is, it's a clear indication they spent less time here.
"Fine house you have" I admitted and she smiled gracefully, we froze when we heard a noise, it sounds like spoon and plate.
"Seems someone is home after all." I said and she smiled
"That would be one of the twins, they love their food" she said and moved towards the noise and I followed.
"I hope you left some for Paul" said Lydia with amusement laced in her voice, I heard some mumbling and I scoffed, I knew he mumbled bcause he has his mouth filled with food, boys.
He already picked my interest so I came out to see the eater, I froze on seeing him, his mere presence just broke down my wall and shakened my resolute, how can he be so handsome even with his mouth filled with food.

Chapter 2

Should I describe my feeling right now, well I'm feeling many things and I can't really describe them all, dizzy, hot, shy, self conscious, only to name a few. But the highest is that I can feel my resolution falling, like a child that made up his mind to save his allowance only to see himself buying candy because he just can't resist it, that's my situation now, I'm like that child and the guy before me is the candy.
"The glutton is my brother" I heard Lydia said laughing, I just nodded my head because I lost my voice. He waved and smiled, which a bit comical because of the food.
"Am Peter" He said after he swallowed showing me he is extremely handsome, hellooo handsome. He is browned skinned, his low cut perfected carved showing his facial features well, though he is sitting I can really notice how tall he is. His deep voice did more than igniting a spark within me, it also landed a big blow to the wall I have spent so much time building.
"Am Tonia" I said, luckily I found my voice, good I got hold myself, I'm the one that is suppose to affect guys not tthe other way round. Time to get my game on and make him high on hormones, I thought to myself. So, I tried to lock gaze with him, advice ladies it always get a guy, so when you want to seduce a guy without getting half naked or something like that, just make sure to catch his eyes. When you're sure he is also looking at you give him a warm smile, look down as if you're shy then look back at him, guys never forget a lady that smile at them. Do it and he will soon approach you, guys are hormonal by nature, so I am confident he will fall, I just don't know what I plan to do when he falls. So I tried the same principles with Peter, he is talking with his sister so I kept looking at him, unfortunately he didn't look my way, like I don't even exist and it starting to piss me off making me want him more.
"Wow you guys have a nice TV" I said trying to join the conversation, seriously that's the best I came up with.
"Thanks, we bought it last month" Lydia replied and Peter still didn't look my way, I'm now furious, he's already done with the food so nothing is preventing him from looking my way. I get it, he is shy, how cute.
"So where is your twins?" I asked him directly, I have to be the strong girl
"He is at the field" he answered looking my way, finally, I got his attention, I smiled, you know like that kind of smile you only give your crush, but he didn't give me the reaction I was hoping, insteading of smiling back or winking he just looked away with a bored expression.
"I'm leaving Lyd" He said to Lydia and stood up to leave, did he just turn me down, wait don't tell me he is a gay, because their is no how a sane guy could resist my cute seduction.
"Come back on time" She said and he left. I'm feeling defeated, I'm now red with rage, who does he think he is, I will get him, unless he is gay. Wait am I not suppose to avoid men at all cost, better leave him be than regret it later.
"Come on" Lydia said and I followed her, "this is my room" she said, it's nice, very neat, I saw her novels packed on one side of the room, she really is a novel lover. "so which one would you like to take?" she asked as she crouch down looking for the novel to give me and I just stood there thinking about the handsome boy I just saw.
"Are you listening?" I heard Lydia called, I smiled and gave her my attention, "if you're fawning over my brother, I advice you to stop." she said like it's a normal thing, I felt my face heats up, not by rage but embarrassment, how could I be so noticeable.
"No I'm not" I tried to deny it giving out a dry laugh, she just shrugged "but why am I to keep away?" I asked, girls' curiosity.
"Many girls have done so but none has actually gotten his attention, I started to think he was gay, I even did some spying to make sure, with all the information I got I came to the conclusion that he is asexual." She said like she is a good spy and I laughed, asexual, that's something you find in animals.
"You can't be serious" I said and She smiled,
"If you say so" she said and brought out a book.
"Here" she said handing me a novel, it's a foreign novel, I looked at the title Dark Angels,
"You will enjoy it" she said and I just nodded, I doubt.
"I will be leaving, my mom will soon be back" I said and she escorted me out. On getting to the front door we saw another cute guy, but not as peter.
"Paul" she called, oh this is the other twins.
"Smallie"He called then looked at me and smile, that's nice. I returned the gesture "where is Peter?" He asked
"He went out" she answered
"So who is the beauty beside you?" he asked, now someone is a gentleman.
"She's Tonia, our next door neighbor" Lydia answered smiling, I smiled too
"I welcome you pretty one" he said with a bow and I smiled
"Thanks, I will be leaving Lyd" I said and went on my way, I wish Peter was this half nice, I said and smiled as I remember Lydia and her asexual theory.
Seeing the two twins you won't even know they are twins unless they introduce themselves, both are tall with lean muscles but their facial features are different. Paul has a close resemblance with Lydia, thinking back at the picture enlargement they both took after their Father while Peter took after their mother. I scoffed as I remember his face when he smiled with a mouth full of food, if only he was nice like Paul I would've been happier.
"Maybe it's a good thing at least I won't have problem keeping my heart and avoiding ending as my sister." I muttered as I open the door of our house.

Chapter 3

My relationship with Lydia's family got deeper, our family now considered family friend I spend my time there, luckily I started my jamb lesson, Peter and Paul also goes to the same study center.
Paul is really a charmer but not enough to charm me, though he keeps trying, I learnt he persuaded his brother Peter to write a scholarship exam, if they get it that means they will travel overseas to study. As I got closer to them I learnt more about Peter, even Paul says it's as if he's from another world, nothing really interest him, he's like a whole mystery and it makes him more attractive and irresistible.
"So your brother left already?" I asked Paul as we walk home together,
"Yea, I'm sure he will be home by now." he answered, he leaves before us every day, and when I get home he will still not be there, he leaves home immediately he arrives.
"He's really mysterious" I said absentmindedly and I heard him scoff.
"You really are a pretty girl don't waste your time on him." he said I looked at him and he winked, getting to know Peter I no longer doubt his sister's theory of asexual.
When we got home, I went up to my house, not really up to spending more time with Paul, I thought I could spend time with Peter also by hanging out with Paul, my plan didn't work.
"You spend too much time with that boy." my mom said as I entered the house and I sighed, I guess she saw us through the window.
"He's my friend, besides he also go to the same study center." I said dropping my bag
"I hope it's nothing more than that" she said entering inside her room, I don't blame her after my sisters accident she has been watchful of who I hang out with, I went to my room also.
My mom warning served as a wake up call, it's time to stop this stupid infatuations I have for Peter, even though he's dropdead gorgeous, I fawned as I remembered his cute face. Even with his mean face and strict behavior he still can't hide his pretty face.
"Get a hold of yourself" I said and then brought out my book to study.
I made sure to start avoiding Paul, though he's being persistent I managed, I made it point of duty to leave very early, so before Paul can finish his usual chatter with friends I'm gone.
"Peter" the word left my mouth as I saw Peter walking ahead, my resolve to avoid boys failed me again as my legs pushed me forward to catch up with him.
"Peter" I called as I got near him
"Hi" he said, he never called my name, I've never seen him call anybody's name except Paul and Lydia. Even in class he doesn't associate, if not for the fact that I steal glances at him and made it my business to know him I won't notice him in class.
"You always leave early" I said as a matter of fact he just shrugged. I have this surge within me to please him, thank God his walking slowly so I don't have to chase after him.
"Paul told me about the scholarship Exam you sat" I said
"Did he" was his only reply, normal boys will drag the discussion, but him he just doesn't care, not that he wants it to end quickly, he just doesn't care.
"Yes, and knowing how intelligent you guys are, I know it will work," I said not waiting for his reply I continued, "I heard about the party your family are having this weekend." I said
"Yes, it's Lyd birthday" he said, I already knew, Lyd invited me herself, we kept walking in silent, I so want to talk, I want to please him at least make him smile, I learnt from Lyd that he never truly smile, even his normal smile that he fakes it.
"Are you Alexithymia?" I asked as we got closer to our house and he stopped then the unexpected happen, he laughed, full blown out laugh. I was surprised, so shocked, his laugher is like wave of euphoria to my ears, I wish it never stops
"What" he said as his smile died down
"I mean incapable...."
"I know what you mean, no I'm not Alexithymia" he said as we continued walking
"You know Lydia thinks you're asexual, and that you never truly smile" I said and he sighed
"I know, but know this, Lyd always exaggerate things, I do smile and show emotions just that nothing appears as a challenge to me, everything seems easy making me bored, I feel I am in a wrong timeline." he said, what he said didn't matter to me, what matters is this is the longest sentence he has ever spoken and it hits me hard.
"You know this is your longest statement" I said and he scoffed
"Is it" he said as we get to our house.
"Goodbye" I said and he gave me a nod, I watched him as he walks ahead
"Peter" I called and he stopped, I walked to him "be my friend and I will make everyday a challenge for you" I said and he smile.
"That's a big word" he said and I smile
"Try me"
he smiled and shook his head
"Oblige me" he said and walked away, I stood there, in utter state of euphoria, I promised to avoid guys in other not to make the same mistake my sister made, but here I am webbing myself with a guy that is not pleased by anything, I hope I am not webbing my own doom.

Chapter 4

"So are you ready for today's challenge" I said, to Peter as we walk home, today is Friday so no lesson till Monday, and we will write our jamb next 2 weeks.
"Sure" he said not sounding excited. I used last night to browse all difficult riddles, I know for someone that sees nothing as challenge he wouldn't want to loss at anything, so making him crack his brain to answer my riddles will be challenging.
"What goes up and never comes down" I asked, he giigled
"Riddles, seriously" he said looking at me, I nodded vehemently
"Age" he answered, it shocked me, if not for the fact I researched it I wouldn't have answered it, at least not this fast.
"Am second in heaven, first on earth, middle of the sea, appear twice a week, once a yea and never in a month" I asked, he looked at me, I can't decipher what he's thinking
"Letter E" he answered, its not even a challenge. I kept on with the riddle and he answered it all, I felt sad, I promised to give him a challenge, it turns out I failed at it.
"Am sorry I didn't give you the challenge I promised" I said as we get to the door, he smiled
"Thanks for trying though" he said and left, I went inside so weak, I won't be seeing him till Sunday at the party.
For the whole weekend I kept looking out my window to know if I can catch a glimpse of him, I didn't, imagine my joy when their mother came with Lydia asking me to help them in cooking.
"So I get to see you" Paul said as he came to where am slicing carrot, today is the party so they're cooking, lots of neighbours are here to help out, my mom included.
"I have been busy" I said, its been long I hanged out with him, truthfully he's the one always coming at me.
"Yea, busy with Peter" he said, I sense the hostility in his voice.
"Can't we talk later am a bit busy now" I said, he then stood up
"Sure" he said and left, I came here to see Peter and not get interrogated by Paul, unfortunately, they said Peter went to the Village with his father since Saturday and not yet back. That explained why I haven't seen him
"I wish I get to dance with Peter today" a girl said, she is slicing the cucumber, I shot glares at her, luckily no one noticed
"Keep dreaming" another replied "I even came here hoping I could see him" she said, so am not the only one with that mindset.
"Girls I advice you girls forget that dream, all the girls that crushes on Peter ends up with Paul" Lydia said, we the young ones are in charge of making salad.
"How" I asked. I don't see myself ending up with Paul.
"Peter have zero interest with women, and Paul is also handsome and have time for women, so when the girls sees they can't have Peter they then settle for Paul" she said, it made sense but that doesn't mean I will settle for Paul.
"Are sure he's not gay, peter I mean" Tonia, yea my namesake, she's nothing like me though, she is the street gossip
"No, he is not, you girls are just not up to his standard I guess" Lydia said, she really see Peter as Alien, I smiled as we all focused on our work.
After the food we all went home to prepare for the party, Peter was not yet back when I left. I fall asleep and woke up at the sound of music blaring off from the speaker, the party have started, I quickly rush and took my bath, dressed up in a simple but nice outfit.
I walked over to their house, a lot of people are here, mostly elderly, I went inside to find Lydia, its already 5 so am guessing she have cut her cake, I saw nobody inside, its as if the teenagers are having the party elsewhere. I then decided to go to the backyard and if I see no teen I will go home. Luckily I found them, my eyes caught on Lydia, easy she's the most dressed and very beautiful, she came to me.
"Thought you are not coming any more" she said with a frown
"Sorry, I dozed off" I said, handing my present to her
"What's this" she asked
"A novel" she always read, so I decided to buy her one, she gasped as she saw the title
"Family. By Mario Puzo, I have always wanted to read another of his novel after reading the Godfather" she said, am so glad she love it
"Best present" she said and moved to show her friends, I then search to see if I can catch a glimpse of Peter, unfortunately I saw Paul walking towards me.
"Hi" he said handing a red cup filled with red wine inside it, he also have his own.
"Hi, I don't take alcohol" I said
"Its just juice wine, non alcoholic" he said I then took it, and sipped, its just sweet wine.

Chapter 5

Paul kept me company and I felt sad for him, for even as he's here trying his best to please me, I use every opportunity I have to look for Peter.
"You looking for Peter right" he asked with a moody tone, I felt bad, I still nodded.
"Sure, I will take you to him" he said and my face lit up "that's when you're done with your drink" he said, I looked at my drink, realizing I've only took one sip, I decided to gulp it down.
"Slowly, else I feel sad that you want to get rid of me" he said, I decided to oblige him by drinking slowly.
"Good, let's walk as you drink, for it might be my last good memory with you" he said smiling, I looked at him, he instantly looked more matured, and brighter, maybe I would've fallen for him had I first met him, I smiled and and he return the gesture.
"Peter have always get things easily, he never really tried" he said, as we walk slowly "we will soon be sitting our jamb, I know for Peter, its just to fulfill all rights, for he will surely get his scholarship" he said, his voice was mixture of admiration and envy. I took his hands and squeezed it.
"You also will get it, I know, nobody works harder than you" I said, its true, while Peter appears lazy and I have never seen him tried in anything, I always see Paul struggle to make himself better than he was.
"You're an embodiment of hardwork" I said and he smile, he looked at our intertwined hands, and back to me
"Let's go" he said not leaving me, I decided to go along, I dropped my empty cup, as I felt a slight sensation burning in my stomach, at first I thought its the excitement of seeing Peter.
As time goes on I found out its not the excitement, I felt my hand squeezing tighter to Paul's hand as the sensation burn throughout my whole body, he led me to Peters room.
"Here is his room" he said, spreading his free arm, at this point am more in tune with the throbbing am feeling, I moan a little as I claps my legs together, I know what the burning desire is.
"Are you alright" Paul asked looking concerned, I looked at him, why here, with him, the room is dark that serves as invitation, why here and why him why now, I squirmed, I want to leave my brain wants me to leave but every fibre in my body is burning for one single desire, a man's touch.
"Tonia" he said coming closer, like he wants to inspect what's wrong, I felt his warm breath fans my face, I inhaled, what started as a slight sensation is now a burning desire for a mans touch.
"Are you..." I sealed his mouth with a kiss, I let myself go on him, am not a virgin but my heart is telling me to stop but the desire burns stronger, like a dog in heat. I felts him move in sync with me, he stood straight as I let him guild me since he knew the room the most, I felt myself hit a soft surface, bed.
I guess no going back since I felt my hand unlocking his shirt, he moans as my finger graze him, I can still hear the music from outside, I wish someone will barge in and stop this cause on my own am weak against my canal desire.
"What a funny turn out of event" he whispered
"Shut up, and get to it" I said trying to cut any pride he's getting since it doesn't seat right with me,
"With pleasure" he said as he moved inside me, I felt a tears slide out from my eyes, with each movement I felt myself closer to exploding,
"Peter" I moaned, I felt him stop only to dig deeper, he's angry, he changed he got faster and the more he goes the more I near my explosion. Not long after I felt the desire died down, what made me had such a burning desire is still unknown and never have I had such before, our cloth was still on us, I stood up immediately and arranged myself and head to the door. Should be thankful that nobody came or should I be sad. One thing for sure is am sad about what happened.
"Where does this leave us" I heard him said as I near the door, I stopped but didn't turn to him
"Its nothing, its a one time mistake, not happening again" I said and left not wanting to hear any of his word again, am trying my best not to cry, am feeling disgusted
"Tonia" I froze as I heard my name, its Peter, I can recognise the voice even from a deep sleep, I turned to look at him. He have his innocent look, like he's not of this world, I couldn't bring myself to talk to him so I turned back and left as quick as I can.

Chapter 6

I made sure to avoid the two brothers, it was easy for Peter since he never cared, but harder for Paul, I regret giving him my number he kept calling, when he figured am avoiding the call he started texting. I never read any of the text since the only one I read was him telling me how he enjoyed me. Disgusting, after our jamb it got easier to avoid Paul, a week later he got the hint and stopped texting, I stopped going to their house I had to lie to Lyd that I've been busy. Though I ignore them I still peek from my window to know if I can catch a glimpse of Peter. My only joy is the fact I made my jamb, I learnt from Lydia that the twins passed, am not surprised.
"You have been awfully quiet" my mom said getting my attention which was outside watching Peter talking with his father.
"I never noticed" I said, truthfully I've been feelings feverish, and sometimes nauseatic, am hoping it will pass with time, I returned my attention to the window but frown when I saw no one.
"I will be going" my mom said and I waved her, she's going back to her restaurant, she banned me from coming after my sister's incident, am even glad I never liked going, those tout keep throwing passes at me. I went to my room to sleep that's all I've been doing lately.
I woke up this morning with a sudden urge to vomit, I rushed to my bathroom, thank God I have my own, I threw up my last night dinner, now liquid. My breathing got heavy, this is the second time this weak, not to mention am always dealing nauseatic. Epiphany hits me like a hot water all over my body.
"No it can't be" I muttered, my mom will kill me, I realise am also a week late, my throat tightened as my heart beat got faster, my brain went in overdrive yet not really thinking up a solution, this is a total state of worry.
I came out as calm as I can, the last thing I need is making my parents suspicious, I acted cooly at least till they both leave. I calmly waited for them to leave, I went straight to the pharmacy to buy the PT strip, I felt shy buying it for its my first time.
"First time?" The pharmacist asked me, she noticed
"Yea" I replied not looking at her, thank God its a lady, she chuckled.
"Its better to use it in the morning, your first urine" she said, then I looked at her
"That's when you get the best result" she said I nodded and left without a word "don't worry too much, its not the end of the world" she said as I got to the door, I inhaled,
"Its not the end of the world" I muttered and left, I just have to wait till tomorrow.
I was almost awake for the whole night, I slept around 3 am and woke by 6 am, am so nervous, am current in my bathroom, my urine is in a container. Maybe I shouldn't do this, maybe if I keep acting oblivious everything will be alright. I stood for about 30 minutes, that's how long it took me to make a decision, I decide to carry on the test, its not the end of the world I remembered the woman's word.
I closed my eyes as I wait for the lines to appear, what felt like five minutes I opened my eyes only to be faced with my worse nightmare,
"Its double" I muttered as I slumped down, double means positive, am pregnant, it kept repeating in my head, and just like that I found myself in the same situation as my sister. I rushed to my phone, went to my contact list and dialed Paul's number, after the third ring and he didn't pick up I decided to send him a message.
"WE NEED TO SEE, ASAP" I sent him, I walked out of my room and still act like nothing happened, before anything I need to speak with Paul, for he is responsible, I wiped my tears as it threatened to drop.
"Its not the end of the world" I muttered.

Chapter 7

I got Paul's message, am now standing at their door knocking, I hope nobody's home. I watched the door slowly opened
"Tonia" Peter said in his ever bored tone, my legs got stock
"Is...Paul.... In" I stuttered, even now, even in this situation he still have his effects.
"Paul" he called and walked pass me, I guess he's going out, his fingers slightly brushed against my skin sending jolt of tings up my body.
"Looks like someone misses me" Paul came out wearing his signature smile, I woke up from my delirium and walked up to him.
I turned and watched Peters back as he move further away, the door slowly closed and I heaved a breath, I turned to Paul. Even now I regret what I did with him, not because of the pregnancy, but because I feel nothing for him.
"Am pregnant" I dropped it on him like a bombshell, he also deserved to get his heart race up like I did.
"What!" He screamed and I fear it reached the whole neighborhood.
"Am pregnant" I replied in a monotone.
"It can't be, we we only did it once" he said feeling frustrated
"Once is enough" I said, my face devoid of any emotions
"What makes you so sure" he said.
"Missed my period and also took a PT strip test this morning"
"Not convinced" he said, he rushed inside and came out with his cloth
"Blood test is needed too" he said dragging me out by the hand, he locked the doors and we went straight to the hospital, while on the bus he kept fidgeting, I just kept calm and watch the scenario.
After a while we got to the hospital, and got a card, he was so convinced its a lie.
"You think you will pin me down with this" he said as I came out from the test section, am pressing my elbow to stop the bleeding.
"What do you mean" I asked
"You want to hold me down with this pregnancy fallancy. You figured since I stopped calling you want me back" he said sounding sure, it made me laugh, literally.
"You think so" I wonder what gave him that idea.
"Yes, cause for a pregnant teen you sure look calm" he said.
"Behind this calmness is a raging storm" I said, and truthfully there is, I sat down, taking it as a cue to shut up, he did as we patiently wait for the result.
What felt like 30 minutes I got my result, I turned the nurse out immediately I heard her say
"You're pregnant"
Truthfully I was hoping for the test result to be different, I slowly stood up and came outside, I took my result with me.
"What did it say" Paul asked as I came out, I kept silent and kept walking, am not thinking straight, he took the result from me and opened.
I heard him gasped, that's the only thing I heard for I left him and went home, how do I explain this to my mother. I slept the whole day, am in utter state of confusion, I ignored all his call, I feared he might come to my house but he didn't.
"Come over to my house" this was the text I received from him when I woke up in the morning, after my parents left, I went to their house, am already four weeks gone, am not feeling self conscious, I vomited again this morning, I heard in the fourth month my tummy will start pushing out.
"Terminate it" Paul said once I got to his house, I was surprised, I anticipated it, when a teenager gets pregnant, she's expected to abort it, especially when the one responsible is also a teen.
"Not happening" I said, I vowed not to make the same mistake my sister made, now am in the same predicament like her, the best thing to do is not follow her footstep.
"You're not serious" Paul said in a cold voice that send shiver up my spine, but not enough to make me change my mind.
"Am not joking" I said trying to equal his coldness too. He glared at me, so did I, noticing nothing good is going to come from me being here I stood up and left.
Just a meter to my house I saw Peter, I froze and instinctly folded my arms in other to cover my tummy, he looked at me from head to toe, never have it happened before, he slowly walked up to me and stopped a feet away.
"You're pregnant" he said, not a question, he said with all certainty.
"What" I blared at him. My heart have picked a faster usual beat.

Chapter 8

"You're" he said so sure I lost every zeal to argue.
"He told you" I said barely above a whisper.
"No, I figured" he said and I looked at him inquisitively "when u came yesterday, you instinctly covered your stomach when I opened the door" I never knew I did it "today again you did the same thing" he looked behind me, it made me look too, but no one was there "also Paul was weird when he came home, he looked terrified, even as he tried to hide it, I picked it up" he said with a shrug.
"So you're able to pick all that" I said
"Yes, and immediately I said the word pregnant, your dementor changed" he said, so I confirmed it for him.
"For a guy that have no interest in things, you do notice a lot" I said with a sad chuckle and felt a tears escape my eyes.
"Walk with me Tonia" he said, in normal situation I would be happy, euphoria, but now, happiness is a far fetched feeling for me, so I just walked alongside him still gloomy.
"Its not the end of the world you know" He said as we slowly walk, I have no idea where we're going, but he always have this pull that makes me follow whenever he leads.
"Its funny you promised me everyday challenge, but ended up having the challenge of a lifetime" he said, I still kept quiet, how the table turns, today am the quiet one. We just silently walked both lost in thought, but still rely in each others company.
After a while we arrived at a serene location, I looked around it seem like a football field, I could see the two goal post, some part of the field have grass on it, I saw empty benches. Nobody except us is here.
"Come let's go seat over there, the tree will provide perfect shade for us" he said point to the left, we went and sat down.
Nobody comes here by this time, so I always come here to let my mind romp to infinity collection of reality " he said, am not surprised.
Am more surprised his here with me, keeping me company, I keep wiping my tears refusing it to fall, it falling is me accepting reality, am not ready yet.
"He wants me to abort it" I finally said "he wants me to end like my sister" I said every word hurts, its like am being force to swallow a stone, for the fact am refusing to cry this is the consequences.
"Before we packed in here, my sister got pregnant for a Corper, everyone knew of their relationship, the Corper was responsible" I sniffed "but when my sister got pregnant, he revealed his true nature and asked for abortion, I don't really know much of the details, I just remembered waking up at the sound of my mom shouting at my sister" I remember that day vividly "my mom was shouting asking her who is responsible, in her anger she never knew the thin walls wasn't enough to prevent her voice from travelling, especially when the night was so peaceful and any sound would be heard from miles" I said, I know it was wrong for my mother to shout like that, she also have to be blamed for playing the part "after my sister confessed its the Corper, when we visited him in the morning he is already gone and no where to be found, that was when my sister realised he knew nothing about him, worse everybody in the neighborhood around knew about the pregnancy" I said as I exhaled, Peter is silent,the only sound I hear is the sound of his breathing and birds chirpings.
"To cut the story short, my sister couldn't stand the embarrassment and pressure from my parents, she took an abortion pill, but it back fired and she ended loosing her life" I said feeling the pain more.
"Now, am in the same situation" I said wiping the tears again.
"Am sorry" he said, that's all he did, I don't know what I was expecting, but I need more. For wanting more and getting less I got angry.
"I wouldn't have been in this situation if I wasn't hellbent on finding you" I shouted at him, the surprise look on his face was priceless "maybe if I was at home or if I did find you, I wouldn't have had a sudden urge for a man touch" now am crying, did I just accept the reality "or if you were present while the uncontrollable urge came, you would've stopped me, for you're the better one" am sure of it, like he said here makes your mind romp to infinity collection of endless reality.
"Did you just said urge" he asked, off all the things I said he picked this out, not even called the better one, I relaxed and wiped my tears
"Yes, it started as a slight sensation, I kept drinking to quell it down, instead it burns hotter, I was uncontrollably in need of a man touch" I said feeling embarrassed saying the last part.
"Pitiful" he said, I glared at him " you were fed viagra" he said
"What's that" I asked,
"Its an aphrodisiac drugs, it makes one..." He tried to explain
"I know what aphrodisiac means" chill crept all over my body, should I be happy I was drugged will my uneducated mother understand. Or should I be mad for easily falling a victim.
"I have to go" I said and walked away, I need to confront Paul about it, as I left Peter didn't call me back or follow, that's typical Peter.

Chapter 9

"You think Peter is all you paint him out to be" Paul barked at me, I came hear to confront Paul, to tell him the hideous crime he committed, how Peter told me and how Peter is a better man.
"This godliness, this perfect man image you have for Peter, he is the opposite" he said, I thought I will have the upper hand, but he's here telling me things I never knew was possible.
"Right I fed you the viagra, who did you think brought it, he knew because its his expertise" he said, for the very first time am having an image of a very different Peter.
"Am the product of Peters handiwork, after all am by nature the little brother that follows his brothers footsteps" I was beyond shocked by the words of Paul, I feel the greatest betrayal. I felt him hold my hand.
"Please, let's terminate it, I just got an email yesterday night that I have gotten the scholarship, I will tell my parents tonight, Peter haven't gotten a reply which am not sure if he will get it" he brought out an envelope and brought out the scholarship letter "here is it, I just came back from printing it out I will show it to my parents today when they come back" he sighed "for the very first time I have gotten something before Peter, you telling my parents about the pregnancy will ultimately result in nullifying of the scholarship" he said breathing hard. I stared at him, I felt pity for him, I remembered how his face always lit up when he talks about the scholarship, I feel bad for being his obstacle, I sighed and left. This is certainly a predicament, one thing is am not aborting it, I just have to figure things out on my own.
Its already evening my parents will soon be home, I wish I can pause time and spend forever today, I walked home slowly, its just a stone throw but I took my time.
"Tonia" I heard the ever so familiar voice called, I looked up and saw Peter, for the very first time I feel hate towards him, so all this was just a mask hiding his true nature.
'Am the product of Peters handiwork, after all am by nature the little brother that follows his brothers footsteps' I remembered Paul's word, in a way we are both victim of Peter's way of life. For the fact I stupidly expected too much from him, it made it easy to blame everything on him. I walked up to him
"I hate you" I said and walked pass him, and yet again he didn't follow or call instead I heard his footstep walking away, he is really wicked, I thought as tears slipped from my eyes.
I slept off before my parents got home, luckily my parents isn't the type to disturb you while you sleep, I did heard them get in but I was too weak to stand up, the last thing I heard before drifting off to sleep was the loud celebration coming from Peters house. I guess Paul have told them the good news.
I woke up again with a bitter pile coming up my throat, I rushed to the toilet to throw up, I wonder when it will stop, after flushing I came out only to be face to face with my mom and I froze.
"Since when" she asked in a low threatening voice, its more dangerous than when she was asking my elder sister.
"Four weeks" I said lowering my gaze, I readied myself for the scream that will alert the whole neighborhood.
"Who is responsible" she asked once again in a low voice, that's unexpected making me anxious. Instead of talking since I lost my voice, I pointed towards the direction of Peters house.
"Dress up, we're going there" she said and left my room, I then let go the breath I never knew I was holding.
I dressed up and refuse to think about any scenario, I walked out my room and saw the angry look on my father's face, he kept tapping his feet.
"I regret having 2 daughters" he said and left followed by my mother, this is the first time my father ever said something like that and it just scarred me, I followed them with a broken heart.
My dad banged at Peter's gate, it was on the third bang that they opened the gate. It was Paul, his eyes widened, he must have figured why we're here.
"Go get your parents boy" My dad said in a commanding tone, making Paul cower.
"OK sir" he said, but before taking a step his parents came out, still in their nightwear. They noticed something was off with the look in my parents face.
"Come inside" Paul's father invited us in, every of my footstep is heavy, Paul walked behind me. My father jumped straight to the point once we got inside no pleasantries exchanged, I looked up with tears and saw Lydia looking at me with pity.
"So tell us who is responsible" My Mom asked, I looked around and saw Paul, he's already vibrating, I remembered what he said yesterday, my heart broke for him, everybody was present except Peter. Truly his the black sheep.
"Didn't you hear me" my mom asked again this time his voice a bit raised making me flinched, I sobbed, I raise my head to point at Paul, he looks like he is now half his formal size, the moment I raise my hand Peter walked out.
"Its him" I said point my finger at Peter instead, Lydia gasped, "its Peter" I said with much hatred, afterall its his careless life that Paul imitated that got us here, so he should take the responsibility. Everybodies head turn towards him.


A/N: I will stop here so if you're interested to see the end of the story and know what happened to Tonia, Peter and Paul chat me up then.
