Painful Addiction
"What happens when a nerdy girl falls for a playboy?" "They say that pain is a sign of weakness leaving your body but in my case, it's a clamp that refuses to let go of my heart no matter how hard I try." Chisom has had a complicated life but when she meets him, the world seems brighter and everything feels a thousand times better. Even though Chisom masquerades as the strongest person she knows with nothing being able to move her, deep down, her emotions are as fragile as an egg: easily shattered. Meeting him was one of the best things to happen to her. He was her first love but would he be her last?
It's not Christmas without family
Christmas rolled in on a sunny Wednesday but that didn't stop the church down the street from blasting carol music from the minute I opened my eyes to my mom shouting at me to have my bath so we could visit my uncle, aunt, and my dad's step-mother who lived with them for Christmas breakfast.
I didn't see the reason why we couldn't stay home and eat breakfast as a family.
"Family?" I scoffed at the thought.
We were barely a family, hanging on by a very loose thread.
I just didn't like my dad's side of the family very much.
"On the first day of Christmas, my true love said to me, five pa-pa-ra-pa, one golden egg, two Maseratis, and a partridge in a pear tree!" I sang the wrong lyrics confidently at the top of my voice with my eyes closed in concentration and without a care in the world as I held my hand shower, using it as a microphone.
