OBSESSED
Season 2, Episode 18

#Jade's POV#

As I drove down the road, something in me was already saying I should go back to the hospital or perhaps inform my mum or Lizzy about me leaving but I knew they wouldn't approve of my going

I shifted for the third time, holding firmer unto the wheel.

I was making a very crucial decision and I felt something bad might happen but for the love of God I couldn't take it anymore

I have waited a long time, going in circles and you and I know it has been fruitless.

From one problem to another

From one confusion to another

"Now I have a baby?" I asked myself and scoffed at the same time not wanting to believe the story

"It fucking isn't true! Hell no" I shouted, banging the wheel furiously as I took a turn in the dark but beautifully lit street

I mean, it was over a week ago or so when I was in the hospital with Boston beside me and what did the doctor say? I had a damaged womb!!!

Now another is saying I have a child? With a damaged womb?

How funnier can this my life get?

I laughed loudly as I thought of it all.
Before I knew it, my eyes were clouded and I couldn't see the road clearly.

I blinked my eyes widely, trying to open my eyes wide and it was then I knew I was crying

I laughed again, realising myself but the more I laughed, the more tears gushed out

Mixed feelings!

I felt like dying

My sealed lips that were preventing the flow of feelings suddenly broke loose and tears freely gushed down from my eyes as I wailed loudly

But one thing was sure

Even though I was bitterly crying, like the whole thing eating me up, I never stopped driving

I knew I had limited time to return back to the hospital because of the drips I removed and not wanting my mum to know I had gone out.

My heart rate increased as I got nearer to my mum's house after taking the last turn and driving down her street.

She had the last house on the street with a wide lawn just like
Dess's house but my mum had her store room close to the gate house.

There really was no need for a security personnel but I grew up seeing that they had built a house for such purpose even though I didn't see her employ any.

I got down from the car and closed the door, sealing it with the key before taking steps towards the gate

With the aid of the street light, I opened the gate and walked in

My heart was pounding aggressively against my chest as I began approaching the main house.

On pushing the door open, it creaked which sent shilvers down my spine.

I knew I had to make it snappy but he'll this house is already creeping.me.out

Not only because it has been left unvisited, but also the fact that I knew whatever I was going to find wouldn't be funny

The feeling was like that of anyone who was eagerly waiting for an exam result, perhaps a result that would determine the date of the person and my situation was worse.

The document I wanted to find would mean knowing most of.my past.

As I walked inside, I quickly turned on the light's switch so as not to get frightened with whatever might be in the house

I walked slowly towards the stairs and as I climbed, the light's were switching on, on its own.

Don't be a scaredy cat, that's how it is. The lights go on whenever you approach them.

I got to my mum's door and met it wide opened.

Everywhere was scattered with clothes littering the whole floor.

I got scared the more.

what if someone had come to steal it

What if I was being followed?

What if someone had come to take it before I arrived,

I mustered up my last courage in me and walked briskly into the room.

Immediately as I walked in, the floor made a squeaking sound, frightening the hell outta me.

I stopped in my track making sure I was safe by looking all over the place.

I had purposely left the door open in order to see who or whatever gets close to me or comes from the door.

I swung into action and searched.

Scattered the room more and overturned the middle table, searched and searched but nothing gave a clue.

I went over her things over again and scattered her wardrobe but still couldn't find anything!

I approached her drawer as I did Dess's mum's room and checked it but as it was with Dess's, it was empty!

I scratched my head in frustration looking all over the place, my time was running out and I could feel it

I needed to return to the hospital before I pass out.

I sighed in frustration turning to the door to go check the store room by the gate house but a rat ran over.my legs and I jumped in fright, hitting hard the wooden floor.

Immediately as I landed weightely on the floor, it cracked open and I fell into it

I only managed to hold the two woods still connected to the room while I was hanging in air

I struggled but it was no use as I fell inside the hole and landed on something soft.

I felt pains all over but it wasn't as bad as if I had hit the hard floor
So I got up and scanned the room.

It was dark and the only source of light was coming from above where my mum's room was still visible from and her room's light extending into this strange room which I never know existed even in my 20 years of stay before going to the university.

I walked further but stumbled on something.

Thank goodness! It was a torch I haved a sigh of relief and picked it up switching on the light.

The room was all dusty with things packed up in it.

It was the real store room

Everything about my dad was here.

How pictures and belongings were all here

My mum had dumped his things here instead of discarding it.
I smiled as I picked up a picture he was with my mum

Both of them were beaming with smile looking at the camera.

They stood by an old car which they rested on.

They certainly looked cute together.

I held unto the picture as I picked up another one, my dad looked way younger here.

This time, he wasn't smiling but laughing. It was clearly an unexpected snap because the joy he felt could be felt by anyone who looked at the picture.

I sighed and decided to look for a way out and perhaps come back some other time to take his things away when I hit my right foot against a hard metal.

I brought my torch down and looked at a small metal box staring right back at me.
I took it and tried opening it but couldn't.

It seemed picked somewhere

I looked intently all around it finding where it might be locked and saw it.

It was sealed with a passlock.

I sighed because I was really bad at guessing things especially figures.

I looked back and sat on the foam I initially fell upon and focused on opening the box.

000 was displayed on the roller button I was supposed to use to unlock it

"123" I said and rolled over the numbers and tried pushing it up but got disappointed

I was doomed! How on Earth am I going to guess it? My time was already getting far spent

"987" I matched again but as the first result, it did open
I was already getting frustrated

"321"

"789"

"456"

"654"

"111"

I tried and tried but nothing was happening!

I sighed heavily as I got more frustrated and got up, flung the box away and reached out for a stool to climb

Afterall it.happens that maybe after getting it opened, it'd be utmost disappointed to see I wanted my time because with most American movies I've watched, documents or money will be kept else where but people will be dying to open a box or a safe just to find out afterwards that they had wasted their time!

I stood on the stool and balanced myself reaching out for the woods above which were the floor of my mum's room

As I stretched my hands and toes to get to the woods, the pictures of my dad which I took along slipped and fell off my hand.

I retired and turned down to the pictures lying on the ground and decide to leave it and just do my business and perhaps come back another time to come take everything when this time, my foot slipped off the stool and I lost my balance, staggered on my feet and sat down frustratedly!

I regretted coming into my mum's room I yelled on my head, as I looked at the picture lying in front of me

It was the back of my dad's picture and number "208" was boldly inscribed on it.

"Special room 208" flashed into my memory that instant! There is more to either the number or the room

I thought and my senses slapped me as it suggested I use the number to unlock the box.

I quickly went over to where I had threw it and picked it up.

I turned over the numbers and "click" it made the sound and opened by itself!
OMG!

I couldn't believe it as joy filled my heart

I took out the first folded document and couldn't believe my eyes!!!

TBC!
