Joseph walked out of the store house with me in his arms, as I was still terrified by what happened earlier I didn't speak and he didn't either which I was thankful for. 

I still find it difficult to believe that I had almost lost my chastity there. 

I couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if Joseph had arrived a little later...

I just couldn't imagine it... But one thing I knew though was that if Joseph hadn't arrived earlier then I wouldn't be able to survive till tomorrow as I would have died mentally, emotionally and at worst even physically. 

You know why? Because one thing I can't survive is the trauma. 

So I was very thankful that Joseph appeared to save me at that moment. 

Joseph dropped me gently to my feet the moment we got to where his motorcycle was, he handed over a helmet to me which I quickly wore. 

   Then, he also took the other one and put it on, then, he sat on the bike and I sat at his back. 

After balancing himself, he started the engine and soon we drove off out of the vicinity. 

I held tightly to him as we sped off...  In silence. 

Throughout the journey we didn't speak even once, not even when we arrived at his home where he lived with his nanny. 

But at that moment, nobody was around. 

   We both entered the house in silence. 

He led me to the guest room which I entered immediately, he left almost Immediately after that. 

I went to the wardrobe and got some shirts and trousers which were of course my size since they were there for me anyways. 

I took a shower in the bathroom before changing into the clothes. 

Then, I laid down on the bed and began processing all that happened earlier on. 

I was  trying to clear my mind earlier so I just strolled randomly along the streets not expecting to be kidnapped and almost raped by the infamous city hooligans. 

And at that point when I had already lost all hope, the one who I least expected came to save me. 

Well, it's normal for him to come to my rescue since we were best friends, but that was until last week when we had a serious argument that led to our relationship being so strained. 

 As we were both final year students in highschool with him being the school president. 

He had a lot of responsibilities on his shoulders that he had to bear. 

And I guess these responsibilities caused our relationship to be at this point as somehow I was used against him. 

To be honest, I really don't know how it happened but somehow he was framed for tarnishing the school's good image by posting inappropriate stuff online. 

As he claimed that he wasn't the one who did that, I was then made the next suspect of it despite being completely innocent in the case. 

But I am somehow getting cut up in this. 

Due to what happened, Joseph is being suspended from school for two weeks and his badge as the school President is being threatened. 

I am also in no better situation as I am also being punished unjustly with a one week suspension. 

Ever since then, we haven't even said a word to each other which has never happened in our two years of friendship. 

At first, I thought of calling him or sending him texts, but I decided against it. 

I know I am being stubborn by this, but I somehow expect him to trust me more. 

I expect him to Believe more in me.

I have got no reason to betray him do I? 

He's my one and only friend for God's sake!

I'd be completely alone in this world without him so I believe that he should at least be more trusting of me. 

But well... It's completely opposite in this case, I just wish this didn't happen. 

I miss my best friend who always has that smile hanging on his lips. 

This completely serious type isn't the best friend I know, it isn't at all! 

I miss my best friend who cares a lot about my well being, and you know, I believe he still cares...  The fact that he arrived timely to save me from those hooligans is proof of his care towards me. Isn't it? 

I am really thankful for what he did, and I want to thank him for what he did too, but how can I do this when he keeps treating me like air? 

Like I don't even exist at all, how? 

I want all of this to be over as I really want my best friend back. 

These past few days had been hell without him and perhaps that's why I ended up being kidnapped. 

I am not blaming him for that since I know that happened as a result of my own carelessness. 

But one thing I know is that if our relationship isn't so restrained then I wouldn't be there at that time. 

I just wish... We didn't have that argument between us.

I really miss my best friend and though we are in the same building, I still feel so distanced from him. 

" Lord, Please give me back my best friend. " I mumbled softly as I  soon fell asleep on the bed. 

.....
