Gone too soon

I don’t know how to begin but the past few days have been full of memories, fresh memories that it’s hard to shake off. It flashes before my eyes every single day that it’s so difficult to forget, it’s a really sad experience I wish I could rewind but no one has such powers.

Growing up was weird

While growing up I didn’t make much friends but when I did it usually didn’t last because we would eventually have to move to an entirely new city within a short time and it all begins again. Growing up was never fun due to the constant moving, as my Dad was an army Official- It was always transfers here and there, a perfect description is the “to and fro and up and down movement like the devil”.

This much hated lifestyle continued till I got to the university but had already developed withdrawal behaviors by then, out of fear of losing more friends I already resorted to loneliness. This Self Isolation and withdrawal went on and on until a certain day where my life was about to change forever.

How it started

It was a certain Wednesday, during the first semester of my third year, decided to take a walk to the convenient store to get some groceries and everything edible when we met. We got so attracted to each other that we stared at each other for about 15 seconds straight and “kaboom” WE BECAME FRIENDS FROM THAT MOMENT. A friendship I didn’t realize was going to be short-lived like every other one. We became best friends, did basically everything and went everywhere together; we were so inseparable that we were always together. We went on tours, restaurants and attended lectures together. It was like when you finally find your better half after years of searching.... or not searching.

We went on dates about two or three times but these dates were the weirdest ever because each time I ordered for drinks and edibles, she wouldn’t- not because She was shy but  because she couldn’t (it’s probably confusing but we’d soon get to that part). Our friendship eventually became weirder and weirder cos’ with time we got so addicted to each other that I didn’t take time to explore relationship with other people, neither did I try other things out in order to have fun which greatly diminished my conversation skill. And Kaboom, the unexpected happened.

The Tragic Incident

T’was during one of our many adventures together that the incident happened. It was on the streets of Lagos, I remember that the plan was to go from Ojota to Oshodi, and from there to Iyana-Ipaja (all these are places in Lagos where I toured often). It was already evening and there was the usual rush that came with Friday evenings in Lagos due to the amount of people trying to go home at the same time either from office or personal businesses, hence there was always a heavy competition for the limited amount of available Buses. We had to get to our destination really fast as we were running out of time hence we had to chase an already moving vehicle- with lots of struggles for limited space, I managed to hang onto the moving vehicle and secured a space but the unexpected happened. My best friend and love of my life SLIPPED, and fell off the vehicle while on motion and a bigger vehicle from behind stepped on her and before I could think, the love of my life was DEAD and GONE FOREVER. This was how my most loved EARPIECE fell off my pocket and got crushed beyond repair forever. It was a tragic death and I will forever mourn her.

The end - the forever lost earpiece

This is a story of how my love, my best friend, my Original EARPIECE got smashed by a vehicle on full speed. She really left too soon, sooner than expected.

News flash; the love of my life isn’t a real person but an EARPIECE. It was suspense all the way but I really hoped you enjoyed my “not so interesting story”. Now I hope you understand why “my friend” couldn’t order for any edibles at the restaurant.
