Through My Eye's Part 5
I can’t for one second imagine what she has been through. I watched her as tears raced down her cheeks uncontrollably.
“I’m so sorry”, I said as I wiped the tears from her cheeks.
I was slowly filling up with rage; I started to wonder what gave her uncle the right to touch her?
“No! Don’t be sorry you haven’t done a thing Dan”, Sarah said out loud looking directly at me.
“I know but…”
“No buts, you couldn’t do anything and either way I didn’t tell you so you can feel sorry for me”, she said irrupting me.
I was surprised with that comment, she has never spoken to me with such intensity before but I could tell this was an issue she was just relieved to get it off her chest so it pleased me that she could come confide in me.
“I understand I’m sorry… So what happened to this uncle of yours?” I asked curiously.
“Umm yeah that’s another thing I wanted to talk to you about Dan…” she said as her facial expression changed yet again; I knew straight away that it wasn’t good news.
“I’m going to make this very short, brief and the only other person that actually knows about this is Jamie,” She said softly without looking at me in the face this time.
“Yeah sure,” I replied back
“Well I’m sure you do not know but I have a boyfriend and he’s great and everything but lately things have been bad. He hit me and I fell on my wrist; I’m really scared right now and on top of that my uncle's been phoning me but I refuse to pick up.” She said with a painful look in her eyes.
I just looked on at her as a single tear slid down from her eyes, followed by another one and another one until a steady stream of tears began to flow down her cheeks ruining her makeup but she made no sound just silent tears.
I could feel myself boiling up with rage; every word that she had just said to me began to replay in my head, which was only fueling the rage that was burning inside of me. I was pissed off with Jamie for not telling me she had a bloody Boyfriend, the fact that this guy laid his hands on her I wanted to kill him and kill her uncle for having the cheek to call her after what he had done all those years ago.
“Why are you so quiet?” She murmured.
“Oh umm, I’m just very shocked, literally lost for words,” I said trying not to show my anger.
“I think it’s best I go now … I am sorry for dropping this on you like this.” She said whilst wiping her tears away and fixing herself up to leave.
“It’s fine totally fine … it’s what I’m here for right?” I said, hesitantly
“Honestly Dan any girl would be lucky to have you,” She said with a smile on her face followed by a tight hug and with that she walked out of my house into the darkness of the streets.
I pressed my face into my pillow and let out a loud roaring sound. I felt like a volcano erupting; rage pouring out of me like monstrous waves. I had already made my mind up about what I was going to do but how I was going to go about it was the hardest part. What gets to me the most out of everything she said to me was that she knew I would be a great boyfriend so I wonder why she is with him and not me.
All this thinking began to make me tired, it was getting very late as well so I decided to leave this hell I was currently living in and sleep everything off.
Weeks passed by since I last saw Sarah and it felt like a couple months had passed since I spoke or saw Jamie which had me worried but I was still pissed off at him for not letting me know Sarah had a boyfriend.
There were a few weeks until Christmas; I wanted to be jolly for the festive season after all that has happened to me but I just couldn’t do it. I looked outside my window, everything looked miserable the perfect way to sum up my life. The girl of my dreams has a boyfriend and I’m still a virgin with a messed up family.
“Daniel! Are you deaf!” My mum shouted at the top of her voice as she stormed into my room
“Chill man I couldn’t hear you,” I replied
“Wait do we look like the same age for you to speak to me like that? Have some manners or I’ll beat it into you.”
“Sorry, sorry won’t happen again,” I said without hesitation as I saw my mum’s vein about to surface.
“Well, why are you still at home don’t you have college?” She asked curiously.
“Oh no, we broke up for Christmas holiday’s now.” I blurted out with confidence.
“Okay well invite Sarah and Jamie over I’m cooking tonight,” She said
“Okay, I’ll call them and see if they can make it,” I said reluctantly.
It was odd that my mum was cooking and even more odd that she seemed normal so I knew something must have happened.
After a while of procrastinating I called Sarah and messaged Jamie. Sarah was thrilled since she hasn’t seen me in a long while but as for Jamie I got no response.
A few minutes later my phone rang and it was Jamie shouting down my phone.
“Yooo! Bro, it’s been like forever man what’s up?”
“Yeah I’m good. Did you get my message if so come by later tonight around 7/8pm.” I said in an agitated tone to my voice.
“Why you talking like that you sound bare off bro! Anyway yeah, I’ll be kind of late just going to a girls house to do a few things.” He said cheekily.
I knew he was going to sex it was obvious that’s all he knew.
“Yeah do your thing, roll thafe (safe),” I replied.
“Wait why are you talking like you have a lisp? Are you Fool? No, wait you’ve been watching that hood documentary thing I bet.” He laughed out loud.
“Yeah, it’s a bad habit now but yeah later tonight,” I said then hung up straight away.
Talking to him started to make me feel angry again like temper was slowly starting to consume me so I had to just hang up. I have to keep in mind that it’s not all his fault but the way I was no I couldn’t careless.
The day went onwards before I knew I realised it was already time for the dinner. Sarah came at 7 pm on the dot; I couldn’t stop looking at her. She was so disarmingly unaware of her beauty, skin complexion completely flawless, skin glowed in a way that she could light up any dark room she entered. The way she smiled and laughed it’s impossible not to do that same back in return.
“Dan what are you looking at? Is there something on my face?” She asked.
“Haha nope there isn’t; I was just looking at how good you look that’s all,” I replied looking at the floor and fidgeting making sure I didn’t make any eye contact with her.
“Aww, you’re too cute,” She said with excitement as she hugged me.
Dinner was going great it was like a mini family but without Jamie, as he hadn’t arrived yet. I just thought he’s fucking the girl he went to see and lost track of time since it wouldn’t be the first time he did something like this.
“Dan, check where Jamie is he’s missing out on your mum’s mac and cheese,” Sarah suggested.
“Nah let’s finish the food, it will teach him to come on early next time,” I said with a devilish grin on my face.
“Go call the boy now Daniel.” My mum said assertively whilst rolling her eyes.
“Ok! Ok, I was only joking.” I stood up and went to my room to retrieve my phone and saw that I had eight missed calls and I didn’t recognise the number, so I called it back.
“Hello North Middlesex Hospital, what is your emergency.”
“I’ve just had eight missed call’s from this number and I am wondering why?”
“Sorry, can we take your name, please.”
“Daniel”
“Sorry full name please?”
“Daniel Adebayo… Wait what is going on here?”
“Hold one moment please”
“…..”
“Hello Sir, it’s PC Andrew Coffins on the phone. Unfortunately, we have a Jamie Josephs who was on the receiving end of a stabbing but is now in a stable condition.”
“Jesus, what do you mean he was stabbed? When? Where?”
“Sir could you please calm done for a second! We would like you and your mother to come down to the hospital as he has listed you as his only family.”
“Ok! Yes, be right there.”
My heart dropped as I hung up the phone I couldn’t believe it. I had so many questions but only Jamie could answer them so I had to head off to the hospital. I darted back into the dining room and broke the news to everyone; I couldn’t be asked to wait for their response, my friend was seriously wounded and I had to be by his side.
“What are we still doing here let’s go!!” I shouted
“Let me get my car keys.” Replied my mum as she rushed to her room to get them and her belongings.
“Sarah I think it’s best you wait for us here I don’t want you seeing him in the state he is in and I don’t want you going out home alone,” I said assertively.
“Yeah you’re right,” She answered.
Now in my mum’s car whizzing off to the hospital; I couldn’t help but think that my life was about to take another turn for the worst. So from this day onwards I’m putting my foot down and not going to tolerate any more bullshit.
