WE BOTH DIED AT THE END
CHAPTER 5 (THE WAY)
“I am in trouble babe, can you please run over to the room and then check for a black leather under my blue bag. Please bring the bag to me now”
That was the text Suzan sent to me.
“Where do I meet you?” I responded
“Just behind the Male hostel”
“But why can’t you just go take it yourself because right now I am taking lectures and we just started”
“Babe please help me and bring it”
I looked up and I could see that the lecturer was watching me and so I ended the call.
“Don’t even think about it” Kate whispered to me and that scared me a little.
“But…”
“There is no but. You have lectures to listen to and not something that is not needed”
“Kate, I understand that you mean well for me but sorry I have to help her. It is possible she is in trouble”
“You think so?”
“I don’t know but it is possible”
And so I got up and then slowly walked out of the hall and I’m sure that the lecturer didn’t notice as he was distracted by something.
I hurried to the hostel and then it wasn’t difficult to find the item Suzan wanted. I grabbed it and went to go meet her.
I saw her with two guys almost like the the guys I saw her with that night. She hugged me and then collected the item and gave to them.
They took her to one side and were both whispering something to her while she just kept nodding and then one of the guys kept stealing some glances at me but I pretended not to notice.
“We are done. Now let’s go”
“Wait a minute Suzan, I thought you were in trouble and that was why I went out of the lecture hall to attend to you but I can see that you are fine”
“I’m fine Precious”
She smiled
“So why didn’t you go to the hostel and picked the thing yourself”
“Nothing really, I just couldn’t leave the guys waiting here because they are not students from this school. You know how it is”
I felt it to be nothing and so she went for her lectures while I went for mine.
On entering the hall, my eyes met Kate’s eyes and then she shook her head side ways and I could tell that she was disappointed.
But I was happy with myself because at least I got to know that Suzan is fine.
We finished lectures for the day around pass 8pm and then I was heading home together when all of a sudden, two guys blocked my way.
I tried following around them but they blocked me again and held my hands. I tried to scream but they held my mouth and also with a handkerchief close to my nose and that was how slowly, I began to feel dizzy.
I couldn’t even lift my eyelids properly. All I could feel was that I was carried on a shoulder.
After a little while, they kept me behind an uncompleted building and then I could hear the sound of metals. It was as if somebody was trying to sharpen a metal.
Fear gripped me and then I began to pray within me. I was so weak. Little by little my eyes began to close and then all of a sudden, I saw a blurred figure came in and that was how i blanked off.
