BEYOND THE PAIN ( Episode 3).

CHRISTOPHER’S IV.

” I can’t ” I said.
” I promise i won’t hurt her ; don’t you see she is lonely .” He said looking towards her . I looked at her to see her attention was now focused on the players of the game .

He noticed that too and said ” She even looks interested in the game .So bro , get on the move.” He then shoved a bottle of coke into my hands patted my back and left .
“What have i gotten myself into ?” I asked myself . As i moved to mix up with the players in the middle of the hall , something told me i was going to regret what i was about to do later .

JEMIMA’S IV.

Looking at the hall bustling with different type of activities , though my attention is fixated on the truth and dare game ; I suddenly wondered why of all places i am here . My Friend had already been “kidnapped” away by a friend of David i don’t even know anything about , so now am left to myself .
I was about going out to check on Sharon when someone called my name from the group of people playing the group . I turned around to look towards the group . When i saw who called me ; It was Chris.
” Jesus . So its Chris that will embarrass me today not David . I thought. I could hear my heart now beating loudly .
“Truth or Dare ?” He asked from where he was .
Uhhh, Truth or Dare ?
” Dare ” I replied as i looked around to see all eyes were now fixated on me .
” I dare you to drink this up in one minute .” He said pointing a bottle of coke towards me.
” We have not even talked before . Definitely , a big embarrassment is in store for me.” I thought as i walked through the crowd to where he was. People started clapping and calling my name to cheer me on. I looked at him to see him shaking his head at me.
” What is he doing now ?” i thought as i collected the bottle from him .

“1 minute ” he said again , his voice sending some kind of message i couldn’t place my hands on . I opened the bottle ; though i noticed it was no longer sealed , meaning someone had originally opened it ; i however didn’t have the time to think deeper as the shouting and cheering had now increased . I downed the drink in seconds to the cheering of everybody . I turned to leave when i heard Chris mutter angrily ” Foolish girl , double digit IQ dummy .” I turned back to look at him to see him staring angrily at me . ” Get out of here now ” he mouthed at me , he didn’t speak loud for others to hear but i was able to pick what he said .
I walked back towards the entrance of the hall as i thought “What does he mean ?”. I looked around for Sharon , i couldn’t find her around . I checked the time , it was 6:55pm , the Pastor will soon start the message in church. My Parents definitely had not noticed my absence in church or they would be calling my cellphone by now. I decided i was leaving immediately with or without Sharon . I had almost gotten out from the hall to go when a message came in on my phone. It was from Sharon ;
I’LL MEET YOU IN TWO MINUTES , WHERE I LEFT YOU .
“Uhh , this is not Sharon’s way of texting me ” i thought aloud. She would have apologised for delaying me , yet she is unpredictable. I finally decided to wait for her . I went back inside to where we sat before . In few seconds , i started feeling dizzy ; at that moment the story of a Bible Character flashed in my mind.
“Dinah ” i muttered as I blacked out .
What next ?…. Watch out for Episode 4.
