What?
I… I should leak the video in the school group chat?
Won’t that cause a big problem???
But, other way, he said he was going to submit the video to the cops if I don’t leak it?
Oh Mama mercy!
What a dilemma!.
I walked tho and fro in the room, fiddling with my phone.
Oh, God!
I just have to do this.
No matter how hard this might be, it’s only the best option for me to save him.
Even though he was a jackass, I just have to do this for him because he will always be in my heart.
I stopped and stood akimbo.
I bit my lower lips persistently for some minutes.
Soon, I felt a tasteless liquid in my mouth.
That was my blood.
I swallowed it like a vampire.
I hit the phone on my lips gently then brought it down finally deciding to leak the video in the group chat.
I’m afraid that’s the only option.
I scrolled through my phone contact but huffed when I remembered I don’t have his number.
I could have send him an apology text ahead.
Oh
What I’m I even saying..
An apology message?
Geez….
He raped a girl brutally so I shouldn’t be sorry about what I’m going to do.
He raped a kind like me so i would never forgive him.
I went to the school group chat and everywhere was busied.
I decided that read the chats before dropping the video.
*Oh my my, he’s so cute*a girl said and a photo was under her text.
I checked the picture and it was him.
I suddenly feel like not dropping it again.
But won’t this video get to the school principal.
And he will just be expelled?…
This decision is so hard to take.
*Awn, he looks so cute in this pics*another student said.
I sighed softly…
Well, just a minute and all your ecstatic words will turn sour.
A message came in on my phone and i clicked on it.
*Leak it now or you watch him being arrested tommorow morning*it says.
Why the hell is he even doing this?
I went back to the school chat and as I made to drop the video, a knock sounded at the door.
“Who’s there?”I asked.
“It’s me, Raquel. Should I come in?”
That was Mirabel.
“Yeah”I replied and quickly went to sit on the bed.
Then door opened and he came in.
“Hey…”I breathed out.
“You look like you’re could make use of a cold juice”Mirabel smiled and I chuckled.
“How did you know?”
“Well, I just know. Tada!”he squealed and brought out a bottle of champagne from behind then brandished it up in the air and that was when it occurred to me that his hands were folded behind him when he came in.
“Wow, just what I would love to take”I said as he came to sit down on the bed with me.
“Here, open it”he proffered the bottle to me.
I collected it from him,”Though I’ve never open this before, but I will try and do that today. Close your eyes, Mirabel”
“Dad doesn’t tell me to close my eyes before opening it”he pouted.
“Well, that’s Dad and this is me, so close your eyes”I smiled.
He huffed and closed his eyes then folded his arms.
I placed my hand on the bottle cap and closed my eyes and popped the cap up immediately.
“You done?”he asked.
“Yeah, open your eyes now”I said and he opened his eyes.
“So no cup, I guess we will just drink it like that then”I shrugged.
“I will go get it”Mirabel offered but I shook my head.
“No, stay still, let’s drink like this”I said.
“You don’t expect me to carry this whole bottle up to my mouth?”he scoffed.
“So what?, you’re a man so man up”I rolled my eyes.
I carried the bottle up to my mouth and gulped it down.
“Now this feels good”I said as I brought the bottle down.
I turned to Mirabel and handed the bottle over to him.
He collected it and managed to raise it up then poured some contents in his mouth.
“Mirabel”I called out with a sigh.
“Yeah, something going on in your mind?”he asked.
This boy.
“If you were asked to choose between these two things which one will you take out. First, doing what will get a person arrested by the cops or something that will get the person to get expelled and even be painted black and likely to hate you”I expounded.
Mirabel placed the bottle on his laps and turned to me.
“If I like that person that much then i will rather do the one that will get that person expelled and even hate me, that is called love”he replied.
I sighed in relief and muttered a ‘thanks’ to him.
The bottle mistakenly slipped from his laps and he gasped.
“I will clean it up”I volunteered and he nodded.
“But i still want more of that”he pouted.
I smiled and smacked his head softly.
My eyes moved to my phone and I picked it up.
The school group chat is still on the screen so I just went and drop the video then I threw my phone back on the bed expecting the worst.
Different messages keeps coming in which is obviously from the school group chat and tears glazed my eyes.
This is the end of it all.
