Must Read: My Teenage Mind (18+)

I heard banging on the door that led to the top floor of the building. Ahn ahn! I thought Raymond said nobody comes upstairs.

What’s the knocking for nau? I la!d still.

Few minutes later,the door to the room I was in was flung open. Who did I see? Raymond.

I smiled…..but hey,who was that behind him?

I strained my neck to see. It was Frank.

Goodness gracious! I’m finished. I looked at Raymond and damn,his eyes were filled with anger and hatred.

Raymond: Better get up from there.

Your dad and my mum are at the door.

You should have seen the shock on my face.

Me: What?

Raymond: Yes! Your boyfriend here and your dad came and fetched me from school and I had to bring them here. Please get up.

I looked at Frank and he was full of smiles.

He sat on a white plastic chair in the room and looked at me.

Frank: Why do you like doing things that will affect everyone around you? Look at the stress you’re putting your dad through.

Raymond; See eh,no need for too much talk. Come and start going.

He led the way while Frank and I followed.

He opened the door and what even stopped his mum from hitting me? She shouted nonstop. Was I not the girl she met at the gate? What was I doing with her son? And so many questions that I can’t even remember.

My dad must have being very much embarrassed because he asked me to follow him home immediately. We were already halfway home when we met my sister.

There was love in her eyes as she hugged me.

She asked questions from if I’ve eaten to if I had taken my bath. She held my shoulder as we walked home.

Mum wasn’t herself. She was soaked in tears.

She kept on hammering on how shameless I was to leave home and run to sleep in a guy’s house. She didn’t spare me with her tongue. But when dad started flogging me,she became the mother I knew. Dad flogged me with cane,his belt and his foot. Mum kept on holding him and begging him to forgive me and stop the beating but he wouldn’t take any of it.
Raymond came to my house with his mother some minutes after the beating. His mum kept talking and apologising. Raymond just kept mute because I didn’t hear his voice. She must have used the word “adolescent” a lot because till today,mum and my sister still calls Raymond “adolescent” , though,behind his back.

I think they settled because they finally left.

Dad quickly left for the village. Mum came to where I was and cuddled me. We cried together while Ella did the consoling.

I apologized to both of them and Ella apologized for reporting me to my parents.

Mum gave me a warm bath and I cried at how much she loved me despite my stupidity.

We had lunch after which I called dad and apologized. He forgave me anyways(I’m his favourite). That night,mum told me that I should get ready,that we’ll be going to register me in a new school by Monday(the next week).
