Chapter 59
Tessy’s POV
It was just like a movie to me, I was really returning home in the car he got prepared to take me home. But why? What did I do wrong? I was so loyal to him and all.
Do I deserve any of these things happening to me right now? I really don’t deserve how he treated me, even if he doesn’t have feelings for me, the least he could have done is to pretend to be there for me, I am so obsessed with him and I can never picture myself being with another man except for him. Why does Anthony have to end things with me this way?
I hate this feeling! I had no idea we got to my apartment until the driver brought it to my notice, I slowly opened the door and walked out sluggishly.
The car zoomed off and I broke down in tears, this is not fair at all, why now? This shouldn’t be happening at all, I blame myself for not being able to stop loving and craving for someone older than me. Why does he care about the circumstances now when I really don’t care if he is my father’s age? Why does he have to be my dad’s best friend? He should have just remained as my hot neighbor next door and not the other way around, life would have been better that way for me and none of this would be happening.
“Tessy is that you? What are you doing on the floor?”
Sophia rushed to my aid but I hit her hands off.
“Please let me be.”
“Talk to me, what’s happening to you? I have never seen you in such a mood before, talk to me please, I beg of you.” She tried to help me again but I pushed her yelling with all my strength, “I said let go of me!!”
I didn’t mean to push her, gosh why do I keep ruining things? “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to push you.”
“It’s okay, I understand how you are feeling now, just go in because it’s not safe out there.” She advise with a smile.
“Please forgive me, I really didn’t mean to push you.” I felt so guilty inwardly.
“Nah, don’t blame yourself, I brought it upon myself because you actually warned me to let go of you, I persisted and I got what I deserved so it’s fine.”
“Thank you!” I let out a smile.
She walked inside with me and she came into my room saying, “Should I make a cup of coffee for you?”
“Don’t worry, I’m okay, I just need to rest now, thank you!”
“It’s no problem at all, I am always next door just in case you need someone to speak with okay?”
“Thank you so much, Sophia, I appreciate you.” she hugged me before taking her leave, I locked the door at once and finally faced reality, so it’s over? This can’t be.

The following day Elizabeth tried reaching me but I was not in the mood to speak to anyone, I explained to her that I would call her when I got less busy.
What if he was just angry yesterday? Maybe I should also call him since it’s a new day.
I tried his new number we have been using to communicate since he returned but it was out of reach, don’t tell me he did it again. This is not happening!!
I busted into tears nonstop and refused to touch my meal or take in another, I rather just die.
Weeks run by, and still no word from him, I am left all alone to face my new faith. It’s so painful because I really don’t know how to move on. Ending things with me just like that seems to me something must have transpired and he is not willing to tell me. What if he loves me and he is not willing to accept the truth about his genuine feelings for me?
My phone vibrated in my pocket and I checked it was a text from Elizabeth saying, “Do you want to fail your IT? Where is the painkiller the Doctor asked you to bring?”
Oh shit!!! I need to stop mixing pleasure with my IT program at this hospital, I really can’t fail at all. I suddenly remembered why I remained standing at the pharmacy door. I opened it and met the lady on site, I informed her about the painkiller I was asked to get immediately she organized it and passed it to me.
“Thank you so much.” I said returning to Ward Five and Doctor Louis was waiting, immediately he saw me he said, “You spent thirty minutes just to get this from the pharmacist department?” His eyes glazed with fire and I had no choice but to look down, “I am really sorry Doctor Louis.”
“Keep your sorry to yourself, I can’t believe you are the awesome Tessy your department kept talking about, you know what to do,” he yelled exiting the ward, he is right, I am not focusing at all and all this is happening because of him. Anthony brought me to number zero with the way he left me, now how. on earth can I get myself back to my brilliant mood when it comes to my field of study?
I walked to the patient and let out a smile saying, “How are you feeling today?”
“I feel better today, thank you so much.”
“Wow, I love the sound of that, so you will do me a favor by taking two pills from here okay?” She nodded her head with a big smile on her face.
I handed over the pills to her and she took them immediately, I passed the water to her as well and she emptied it.
“Great, now you just need to have your rest okay?”
“I will, I really appreciate you.” She smiled at me and I did the same.
It was time for my shift to end , finally, I took off my white coat and wore my regular outfit, and then I signed out.
I needed to even thank Elizabeth for helping me but there was no sign of her, where is she? Did she leave without me already? I needed to look for her so I kept calling her number nonstop but she didn’t answer any of my calls or return my messages. Should I be worried?
Also, I notice she has been acting kind of weird lately, is something eating her up?
“Hi, have you seen Elizabeth?” I asked and she nodded her in approval saying, “She went that way.”
“Oh thank you.” I wonder why she was on the rooftop at this hour of the day. I took the staircase up to the rooftop and I found her about jumping off.
“ELIZABETH!!!” I yelled and she stopped.
“What do you think you are doing? Are you insane? Please stop this madness and let’s talk.”
“Go away Tessy, it’s too late, I should take my own life.” She yelled with tears leaving her eyes, what happened to my Elizabeth? I haven’t seen her this way before, I feel so worried because I can’t let my dear friend commit suicide.
“Nothing it’s too late, please talk to me okay, we can talk things out, believe me when I say suicide it’s not the way out of this situation.” I yelled and she turned around looking at me, “Where were you when I needed you, Tessy? Everytime I wanted to share my problem with you, you kept kicking me out, you are selfish you know, if it’s you, I always gave you my time and all to make sure you were better but when it got to my turn what did you do?”
“Damn it, I am sorry! I know I was a dick, please forgive me, I am so sorry Elizabeth, just don’t jump, I beg of you let’s talk now.” I said trying everything I know to be able to stop her from jumping off the building.
It finally worked and I hugged her immediately she came down, “Oh Elizabeth I am so sorry, please forgive me for not being there for you when you needed me the most in your life.” I cried along with her and a few minutes later when we both recovered from the situation I finally asked her what the problem was.
She finally opened up to me saying, “I met a guy who made me feel butterflies in my belly.”
I hated myself because I never wanted to listen to my friend from day one, I was just carried away with my desire.
She continued with her story saying how she was played to send him her nudes and he threatened to post them online if she refused to become one of the girls he sent out to please some useless man, she refusess and he gave her a way out of it, she does it or she pays a huge amount of money.
“Elizabeth, I am so sorry you had to end up with an idiot playing these strings on you, where is your phone?” I requested and she gave it to me.
“We are going to his place right now, we will not let a bastard like him ruin your image.”
“Thank you so much best friend.”
We exited the hospital building together and went to see the idiot in his place, he opened the door saying, “Look who we have here, I knew you would come to me baby but seems you brought someone else, are you thinking of a threesome?” He laughed and I slapped him hard on the face, “You bastard!!”
“Now listen good, you can’t threaten my friend, if you know what is good for you, delete those photos of her this instant else you will be locked up in jail.”
He started laughing and just like that we were surrounded, oops, this was a bad idea, I just acted without thinking because I was really angry about what this idiot was doing to my friend.
TBC.
