Leaked Tape

IRA POV

The alarm clock rang loudly, I ignored it for the third time but when it ring again I hit down the clock and sat on my bed

" O goodness, I broke it "

I said getting up from the bed while picking up the broken clock , how on earth was I going to fix up this clock

" Ira !"

I heard my aunt yell, I dropped the clock and made way for downstairs

" Aunt !"

I said immediately I got to her, she looked at me the same way she always did and rolled her eyes

" Your uncle is calling for you at his office"

She replied pushing me aside and making her way upstairs, I went into his office greeting him

" Yes Ira, this is your admission letter from uniben ,you'll be studying at benin "

My uncle said without much smiles, I took the letter thanking him while leaving the office.

My name is Ira Donald, I lost my parents when I was only eight years old and my uncle with his family took me in, my aunty Rachel was never happy with the fact that I would be living with them, they had no children and she didn't want to take me in like her own child.

I got into my room seating down on the bed, uniben is quite a far place but I guess it's the only means to send me away.

Soon after I got a benin, I fitted into the students life, even if things were not that all perfect I always tried to smile always

" Hey you"

Sonia my best friend said taking a seat close to me, we are course mates studying medicine, in this country one can only became four things either a doctor, lawyer,banker or engineer. None of them where my options, I wanted to study journalism and media, that day my uncle broke my head for me claiming I want to be poor for the rest of my life

" I guess I'm talking to a ghost"

Sonia snapped hissing as I laughed

" Don't mind me jor, how far?"

I asked with a silly smile on my face

" Fyn o, have you done that assignment, the one from that textbook?"

She asked as I nodded my head looking for a long note I wrote it in

" Hey Sonia!"

David her boyfriend yelled coming towards us, I dropped my bag just looking at him moving with such force

" Come here!"

He yelled immediately dragging her by the hands and picking up her bag

" David, have you no shame leave her alone, this is a public place for goodness sake!"

I yelled pulling my friend back, she already had tears in her eyes as he clapped his hands

" Stay away from our private matter!"

David yelled dragging her out of the place, I angrily took my seat turning to look at all the eyes that were on me.

Sonia POV

" You bitch"

David my boyfriend yelled beating the living hell out of me, I rolled on the floor weeping my eyes to death

" So you think that you can go around discussing me to all your useless friends right?"

He asked with his deep voice pulling off his belts from his waist as he gave me another round of lashing. I stared at the mirror with tears putting make up on my injured face, I had classes by eleven and I wasn't sure if I could even make it . My life is a horror story, I never knew my parents, grew up on the streets and endured pain. I met David when I was still young, he was a guy from a good home and he took me in, the first few years I stayed with him were like magic but all that glitters they say is not gold, his character changed drastically, he would drink till he got absolutely drunk, beat me up at my slightest mistakes, sometime for nothing. I dressed my face and going out to meet my friend Ira, when i saw David coming my heart was already pounding and i left the earth should swallow me

" Sonia, why on earth do you want me to keep on beating you like I love it, how many times would I tell you to stop telling people about our relationship?"
