Hi I'm Anna Lisa and I'm going to be telling you about my love story.But, I have a question do you believe in love?? Love is very scary to some people and yeah I get how y'all feel.
I am 19 years old born 2nd August,2003. I grew up in Abuja, Nigeria. I was born into a middle class family at least my parents could only provide what you need and not what you want. I have 3 siblings Terry, Steph and Claire. Steph is 25 and is the first born, Terry is the second and he is a boy. I am the third and Claire is the last born. I didn't have it good throughout childhood because, mom and dad didn't love each other. They always fought and called each other names. Dad even use beat mom up till date. I never wanted to get married or have a boyfriend by then. Steph moved out of the house because she was tired of mom and dad's toxic marriage. She was doing well financially at least she worked in the bank and could survive on her own. Terry had some toxic traits from dad he always beat me and Claire every chance he got. I was really depressed and sad not just for myself but, also for my lil sis Claire because I couldn't defend her.
I was living life how I saw it till I got to grade 12 and I met this young guy his name was Victor. Victor was the only person I could confide in. At first I didn't want to be friends with him because, he always asked where I got my bruises and injuries from. I felt he was too inquisitive soo, I always shut him up. Soo, one fateful day I got home and to my greatest surprise Terry was sniffing cocaine and injecting some hard drugs through his vein. I was shocked and screamed I was really worried about my brother and told him to stop that bad behavior that it wasn't going to end up well if he continues. He yelled at me and even gave me a dirty slap that made my lips bleed. I was hurt cause I was just caring for my big bro. I decided to let mom know that Terry was taking hard drugs. Mom was pissed off and she barged into Terry's room and saw him just in the act. She screamed and started searching his room to check if there was more hard drugs and to our greatest surprise we saw plenty drugs of names I can't even remember. She took them out heading to the fire place to burn them up. Terry was really angry I've never seen him that mad. He looked at me with anger I was soo scared what had gotten into my Terry. The next day after Mom and Dad had left, I was just about to leave for school then Terry grabbed me and hit my head on the wall. I was crying and screaming he then, dragged me to his room and forced to sniff the last cocaine he had. I was shivering I was high too. He pushed me to the floor and brought out a pocket knife to my throat and whispered "if you dare interfere in my business again I won't think twice on splitting your throat". I was crying I couldn't even see clearly. I couldn't go to school because I had injuries and was kinda high.
I didn't tell mom or dad about it, the next day I went to school.Victor was soo happy to see me he even asked why I couldn't make it to school yesterday. I was pissed and I yelled at him to leave me alone. When he had left I started cleaning up my wounds. He sighted me from far and rushed to me again he asked what happened to me and made me feel comfortable to talk to him. I couldn't hold it anymore I just had to let it out. I cried seriously in his arms as I talked to him. He was really shocked with what I was going through and offered to help. I told him to not because the men in my family were toxic and wild.
As, days went by Victor and I got soo close we studied together in the library. Until, the 18th of May.
