Joel was my class teacher in J.H.S. Crushes know no boundaries so I had a huge crush on him. He might have also seen something in me because he later expressed interest in me. I counted myself lucky. How many of us get a proposal from the people they are crushing on?
It didn’t matter to me that he was my teacher. I wanted to be with him and he wanted me too. He told me about his relationship with his ex and how they broke up. He told me, “I still think of her sometimes. I still love her but don’t worry. I’m ready to move on to be with you only. But let me ask you this. Can you handle me?” I answered confidently, “Yes! Of course, I can handle you.” I didn’t care that our relationship was wrong and inappropriate. I didn’t care that he still had feelings for his ex. He wanted me and I wanted him too. That was all that mattered to me.
The beginning of the relationship was very smooth. I enjoyed his company and I always wanted to be with him. At first, it was just innocent hugs and cheek kisses. Then things evolved into adult things. He said he didn’t want to break me but two weeks into the relationship he did it. He took it all away and left me empty. It didn’t stop there. It was just the beginning. Whenever we met, we did it. A year later, I got pregnant. I was too young. I was still in JHS. There was no way I was going to keep it when I had my parents breathing on my neck. We let it go. It broke me. I felt the weight of the guilt on my shoulders every day. I needed to talk to someone but I couldn’t bring myself to talk about it. I kept it. Safe and sound in the archives of my mind.
In my final year, when it got to the point where we had to select schools, my parents suggested that I choose only day schools. When I told my boyfriend about it, he said, “No. You deserve to be in the boarding school.” It became my job to convince my parents to allow me to go to boarding school. When they said no, I went on a hunger strike. When they gave me a reason to attend a day school, I countered it. I wouldn’t talk or eat for an entire day. I stood my ground until they agreed with me to choose a boarding school.
I gained admission to my second-choice school, Abuakwa States College. Before I went to school, Joel changed towards me. He was no longer the loving and caring man I knew. He called for my presence only when he wanted shuperu. He wouldn’t let me see him if I wanted to. I was hurt but I was head over heels in love with him so I tolerated it. When I went to school, our relationship grew from bad to worse. I used to think nothing in this world would separate us but.T@p Here to Keep Reading for M0re D€tails... Share
