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?

Down bad

Relief washed through the entire length of me as my phone lit up with Tobi's call.

It was as if a dead weight had been lifted off of my chest making me feel so much lighter.

My mind buzzed with all the questions I wanted to ask.

Was he going through something?

Was he hurt?

Did any family-related issues occur?

Did I do something wrong for him not to pick up my numerous calls?

I eventually settled with an uncertain "Hi" just as I picked up the phone.

"Hey, Chisom. How are you doing?"

The sound of his voice immediately brought a sense of calm into me.

How I had missed that voice.

"I'm fine and what about you?" I asked.

"I'm very well," He said.

A long pause followed. I wasn't sure of what to say and I didn't want to bombard him with questions that stemmed from my jealousy and insecurity.

"So, long time, no talk...are you alright?" I enquired, genuinely concerned.
