DEATH AFTER LIFE
Grade 8 back in the days I’m day schooling black and white picture, on my head Afro is growing. Short uniforms weird shoe I’m school going, obsessed with deals so the getto is ever callingI’m balling, thinking school is boring. Ignoring advice from my parent not knowing I’m falling but not until I met this girl when I was jogging . She was average height, normal hips and nice body nerds used to love her but surprisingly she just chose me. Grade eight is over I’m in grade nine I don’t even know any algebra she told me that it’s fine 02: o’clock waking me up to study she was like I like you but you can’t touch my body. She put in the zone of science and mathematics parents got surprised I was in the right path performance improved every month. She put in a lot until I went to the other grade. Te school that I went to was a boarding school and we used to right letters for each other until the time when she just suddenly stopped. I got a sick pass and I went home to see the same girl. I reached at her place the aunt saw me she then started crying I was worried she told me coming in, take a seat let me prepare something I was like auntie actually I’m not staying I just passed through to check up on Jane. She was like "there’s some bad news about Jane I know you were in love just don’t go insane.” She told me that Jane was recently admitted and it was so sudden she passed on the devil is wicked. Tears started rolling on my face just before I could leave she told me please wait, she left a letter just before she left. Read it alone was the demand she gave before her last breath. Just after I got it I left in the middle of the road I opened the letter. The first sentence is I’m happy you have opened “ Dear love, soulmate and best friend ; I’m sorry I’m dying this very second but I’ll never leave you I’ll always be by your side I heard that you made it actually I’m proud. I know you wondered why I never slept with you and your friends noticed I know you even got dissed that your girlfriend is fake but I did not refuse because I did not want it’s just that I was born HIV positive and I didn’t want you to get sick like me so steve God has a plan you are destined for greatness the limits are the clouds.”
I felt sadness when I heard that I guess real love needs real sacrifice.
