Blind in love
*Part 6*
It was hard to act like I am okay. When I raise up my hand teachers ignored me.
When it was school out I saw Sizwe outside and went to confront him.
Nancy: I’ve never met a selfish and self centered person like you! You ruined my life!
Sizwe:(Laughing)I did you good you want a repeat?
Nancy:How could you?I trusted you ! I gave you my body. I gave you my virginity!
The other learners started to form a circle around us.
Nancy:You are sick in the head no wonder your mother left you to stay alone!
Sizwe:(Getting closer to me) Don’t you dare talk about my mother!
Nancy:Or what?You gonna beat me like you always do?I’m used to that.
Simon got in the middle of us.
Simon: He’s not worth it..let’s go.
I left Sizwe alone and I got a letter saying I have been suspended from my cricket team. I got another letter from the university I had applied for , they refused to
have me as their student as I may portray “unruly behaviour”. I couldn’t believe it! For Sizwe everything was going well and for me all was crashing down. I decided to commit suicide on Saturday. My parents went to do grocery shopping and I took and overdose of sleeping pills. I woke up in the hospital.
Maria:Ohh thank God you are awake.
Simon:Do you need anything?
Nancy:Wait..I’m not in heaven.
Nomsa:You are not.
Nancy:Can I have some water?
Simon ran to get it.
Maria:You dad has gone to work let me go call him.
Maria left. Simon came back and gave me the water.
Nomsa:I got to go I’ll see you later.
Nomsa left.
Simon:(Kissing my forehead)I thought you had died.
Nancy:What actually happened?
Simon:I came to check up on you and I found foam forming on your mouth. I called the ambulance but they took too long so I put you in my wheelbarrow and ran you here.
Nancy:(Smiling)You saved my life.
Simon:I did what any guy would have done
Nancy:Sizwe wouldn’t.
Simon: Forget him he’s a jerk.
I got discharged and went home. On Sunday Simon came to check up on me.
