I felt insane, this felt insane. Was I growing mad? Did I miss Chidinma so much that I was now hallucinating her voice? No that can't be right, Gerald also confirmed that this individual sounded like Chidinma.

We actually hung up on her cause we were scared to death to even continue the conversation.

"Try calling her again," Gerald urged me nervously.

"You think?" I widened my eyes at him. "If I call her again, I might fall my phone to the ground out of fright."

"Then I'll hold it," Genesis piped in. "And I could ask the questions, if you guys are not composed yet." He then looked at me with sincere gaze, "It's gonna be alright. We ain't the force but, we're gonna get to the bottom of this."

I nodded at his reassuring words and dialed the number again. I gave the phone to Genesis, and on the fourth ring, it was being answered.

"Hello?" Genesis asked as he held the phone in front of us.

"Are you going to hang up on me again?" I chuckled a little bit and so did Gerald. That was something only Chidinma would say on the phone. Wait a minute! I grasped the phone from Genesis, with stunned eyes.

"Chidinma, is that really you?" I gasped as Gerald moved closer to me.

"Yes dimwit, it's me. Don't you know your best friend's voice again?"

Gerald laughed happily as he leaned closer to the phone. "Where are you? I'm coming to get you."

"I'm save Gerald," Chidinma voiced out, "I-I'll explain everything. I'll send you a text of where we'll meet this Saturday. I promise, I'll explain everything."

I shook my head still feeling confused, "We saw a headless body wearing your clothes and accessories. She even had your phone, and her body shape and skin tone matches yours. What exactly is going on? I hope I'm not talking to a ghost."

Chidinma laughed her annoying, mockingly sweet laugh, before sighing. "I'm not a ghost babes. I'll send an address to you. I'll see you on Saturday and explain everything to you. Promise."

"I believe you," I whispered.

"Be safe Chidinma, Just please..... Be safe." Gerald pleaded as we looked at the phone and waited for Chidinma's respond.

"I am save, just be careful. And tell Genesis this, 'The Devil is closer than you think'." That made Genesis to tense up a bit as he snatched the phone from my grip.

"What do you mean by that?! What do you mean by_____!" Before he could finish his sentence, Chidinma had already hung up.

"What the hell does your friend mean?!" Genesis asked harshly.

I simply shrugged as Gerald replied, "No clue man,"

************************************************************************

"Are you sure that you're gonna be alright?" Genesis asked as he leaned in for a kiss.

"I'm just going to get into my room, get a shower and go to class. I promise, after class I'll grab a few things and come stay with you for a few days." I tried to convince him.

Genesis had given me a ride to school, and told me he'll wait for me in front of my room and follow me like a bodyguard round school cause he cared about my safety. Chidinma's warning didn't go well with him, he was actually freaking out that he almost went back to his drinking habit. He wanted me to stay with him at his father's house, until everything surrounding us becomes clear. I agreed to it, but not the 'following me around school' part.

I looked at his gorgeous set of eyes again, "You actually need some sleep, Genesis. Don't worry, you'll get to see me this evening." I smiled at him.

Genesis sighed one last time before leaning close to me, "Be save." He whispered, as his full lips met my small ones. He captured them slowly in between his lips, our lips began to move in sync. I suck in a breath and bit my lower lips, to stop the kiss.

"I'm going to be late for class," I reminded him with a smile.

Genesis nodded as he moved two steps backwards, before resting his back on his black expensive car. "See you tonight,"  He waved his goodbyes, as he got into his car. Within seconds, he was out of view.

I quickly entered my room, strip out of my dirty clothes and headed straight to the bathroom for a quick shower. Once I was satisfied with my body scent and the clean outfit I was putting on, I grasped my backpack and shoved my handouts and note book in it and quickly head out.

I was busy walking the narrow path that led to the lecture hall. When out of nowhere, I saw black sneakers right in front of me. I looked up to see Andrew, looking down at me with amused gaze.

Just kill me already!

I tried to move left, but he mirrored my action and blocked my path. I tried to move right, but he did the same thing and blocked my path again. I tried to move left one last time, but fucking Andrew freaking Rotimi, blocked my path again!

"What's your problem?!" I snapped at him. "Why can't you leave me alone?!"

Andrew laughed an irritating laugh, before saying. "You are my fucking problem, you fucking whore!" He yelled. Silence was the best answer for a fool, so I let him continue. "Why are you dating my best friend? For his money? Is he even aware that I'm your ex and that I broke up with you cause you were a whore?!"

"Oh shut it, Andrew." I snapped at him, "We both know that you broke up with me cause you were irresponsible and naive."

"Fuckin__"

"Let me finish," I warned him, my voice laced with venom. "You ended the relationship, not me. I was so in love with you that every fucking thing I did, revolved around you. You were my fucking first!"  I inhaled and exhaled a few times, to calm myself down.

"How do you think a girl would feel, when she wakes up one morning and her boyfriend decides to end things with her over some stupid excuse!" I spat angrily at him. "Your reasons for breaking up with me were useless. You said you did not have money to take care of both of us and that I asked too much. When have I asked you for anything? Answer me!"

"That isn't the point!" Andrew tried to defend himself. "The point is that you're dating my best friend!"

"Here we go again," I raised my hands above my head, feeling frustrated. "You're so naive."

"I want a taste of what you're giving him," He demanded, which made me to widened my eyes.

"What?!"

"You're giving it to him, right?"

"No! We haven't even had..... Why am I even telling you all this?"

"Cause, your body's mine!" In a swift motion, Andrew got hold of my legs and yanked me over his shoulder. I screamed murder as I balled my fist to hit his broad back. But none of my strength could match his.

Once deep inside the bush, Andrew threw me hard on the hard ground, and began to fumble with my belt.

"Help!" I screamed even louder, "Hel__!" I felt a hand smack the side of my face, as my left cheek began to stink. My eyes began to water cause the impact of the slap was so great. I looked at him with tears stricken eyes, "W-Why are you doing this?" I wanted so hard to snap at him, but I lost the little confidence I ever had. I was about to get raped.

"Cause, I was paid a huge sum of money to do this to you." He replied with a sly grin.

"By whom?" I managed to ask.

"You are about to get raped, and this is what you're asking me? I'm not going to answer that. Instead, I'm going to enjoy every little scream that comes out of that little whore mouth of yours." His voice was laced with intense sexual lust.

Someone, anyone! Please, help me.
