IF TIME WERE A BRIDGE

I was standing in an open field, how did i get here? I asked myself. I glanced around the field only was to know that I am alone,snakes moved freely around the field, I was so terrified, I didn’t know what to do. I moved a little only to find myself in a quick sand. The snakes started coming close to me, and I continued sinking down into the earth. No, I screamed until I was covered up by the sand.

I felt a slight a touch on my hand,I opened my eyes only to find myself in a hospital bed. “My daughter why are you screaming? Did have a bad dream? My caring Mother asked.she came with a handkerchief to clean my face, because I was sweating profusely. “Mum,am so glad you are here”, I said,as I hugged her tightly. My mother has been a loving and caring mother, despite the fact that my father had died before my birth, she make sure that I was well cared for.

I am the only child to my parent, I am probably spoilt because I got all whatever I wanted because my mother don’t want me to feel the death of my father. Through my years in secondary school, I lived a promiscuous life. I moved with bad group of girls who call themselve “THE BIG GIRLS”.

When I just got admission into the secondary school, I was so brilliant, even the teachers always praised me during open days. I moved with friends who were equally intelligent. We usually wait after school to read, then we were always called “BOOK WORMS”, with all these, I was not satisfied, I wanted to be among the “BIG GIRLS” so that i can live like them. Since i joined the big girls gang, my performance in my academics began to deteriorate. My teachers who used to praise me, started complaining about me. I was too engrossed in my new image as a big girl. I don’t care about anything. My friends told me that to complete a big girl, you must have a boyfriend, I agreed, thinking that they knew the best.

In the next two weeks, I had gotten a boyfriend named jackson. Jackson was a tall and handsome, I saw him as a perfect match.

Within weeks we had started going out together. Jackson was a student of the university of lagos. Sometimes I visited him on campus.

One faithful day, Jackson invited me to a party on campus, so I sneaked out of the house so that i could attend the party. Meanwhile, there was no party. Jackson only wanted me to spend the night with him. I was such a fool to have fallen into their trap. Jackson and his friends raped me repeatedly until i became unconscious.
