SILENCE KILLS
I wasn't sure what that day meant at all and why it ever came but she was sure she wanted it erased off her memory.
It was barely sun down when I called my friends cancelling on our valentine evening together, everyone on my street seemed to be into the moment there was no trace of people chattering even down to where my apartment was. It was strange for a minute but the event of that day was clear explanations to the questions.
I called out to the watch man but there was no response I ignored that and took my gifts I had gotten from my colleagues at the office threw them on the couch made my way to the bed room.
I left the shower running so the bath tub would be filled with water and I could have "me time" as I went to check who was at the door hoping it wasn't my crazy friends whom I bailed on but it was kunle my Ex, stattled as I was and with a flood of memory I reached for the door knob but it fell off.
I ran up to my room making sure the bolts were locked as he yelled after me but I was too scared. As I searched for my phone he made through the bolted door with such great hit leaving the door at the corner of my bed.
He dragged me by my blouse to the bed, tore parts of my dress and whipped up as I shouted he turned on the music to its loudest so the neighbours wouldn't hear my screaming. I shouted so much my strength was gradually fading.
I had lost the right to my body. It wasn't long when he came back up and dragged me by my hair down the stairs making way to the pool at the yard. I wasn't sure what he wanted to do with me but all pleas made no way to his heart. Minutes after loosing all hope I heard voices of people chattering towards my neighbours house as I was prepared to shout he tucked my head into the water.
I struggled and gasped for air, but at that point I no longer felt the need to fight, I was slowly drawn to the water and my system could no longer bear the pains.
