Crumbled World

My eyes were heavy with tears, I walked down the street with no direction in mind like an arrow shot into the air just to test how strong the hands of a warrior are. My mom would be so disappointed especially if she found out the guy who impregnated me had denied and rejected the pregnancy.

I'm a fool for believing Kelvin loves me. That bastard.

"My mind is messed up right now". I acknowledged to myself.

"He fooled me" I muttered to myself as tears trickled down my face.

"Where do I go from here?" I asked myself and after a deeper reflection and thought, I decided to go home.

I brought out my phone to check what time it was, my mom's house from my current location is an hour and thirty minutes away.

I knew I needed comfort at the time, no matter how disappointed my mom could be, her comfort was what I needed at the moment.

I flagged down a taxi when I got to the main road and before I got in, my gaze flickered to the coffee shop we used to visit anytime we wanted to take a coffee outdoors during his break on weekends.

As I settled in the taxi, I thought of how my mom would take the news.

"She was expecting more from me." I thought sadly.

I brought out my phone to access any new information that could have been posted in my class forum.

There isn't any, but I got a message from the girl who sat by my side in my last class.

I tapped on it to read the complete message.

"Hi Amelia, It's Penelope. How are you doing?

"Just wanna check up on you and keep in touch".

Despite being in my darkest moment, I smiled at the message. I'm glad she texted. Her energy was contagious and bright.

I'm not big on friendship or building relationships, that's pretty obvious since I don't even have anyone to call right now but Penelope was someone I wanted to be friends with.

" I'm fine dear, how about you?"

I replied and allowed my phone to slip through my hand and drop on my lap as the reality of my situation dawned on me again.

The silence in the car added to my melancholy, my mind went back to how the whole scenario took place.

I met Kelvin during his last year in Uni, he appeared very cool when I saw him walking out of a class.

I got attracted to him immediately and wanted to be a friend.

"Only if I had known" I wouldn't have tried to be his friend at all.
