last birthday

As the music climax higher and higher so was my body energetically vibbing to the song playing in the club, it was so lively and fun that I forgot all my worries. The most exciting part of it is that I'm graduating Finally and more also tomorrow is my birthday. Dad promised to get me a brand new phone and a laptop system.

Suddenly the club light went off and everywhere became dark and silent. I stopped moving and my breath became stiff. One of the things I hate most is darkness.

'Where is everybody?' I began to shiver, feeling agitated. A sound like clock tickled out loud and immediately I felt a tap behind my shoulder and instantly  flick of fire light up. I yelp out covering my face in fear.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you Mirabel happy birthday to you ooooo hurray!!!" Sang by people holding small candle. Slowly I raised my head, open my eye to see my boyfriend in front of me carrying a big white cake with an inscription that says 'big 20 Mira.'

"Happy birthday my love, welcome to the second floor" with that he planted a kiss on my lip.

I opened my mouth to talk but words failed me especially when he handed me a brand new iPhone 11 pro max and a box of chocolate. I literally became dumb, my eye became watery and as tears found its way streaming down. Besides, I totally forgot it was almost midnight but I didn't know Tommy had everything planned. 

"I love you Tommy" I whispered as tears wet my pretty face.

"It's okay baby" he assured me. Tommy loves me no doubt. We met six months ago and we have built so many memories that I couldn't build In a year. After my last relationship, I promise never to date any guy again. 

My best friend and I went shopping in a mall when this dark skinned guy appeared out of the blue. 

"Hello angel" he said flashing his teeth revealing a golden tooth at the upper jaw.

I refuse to answer him so Lizzy answered instead.

"Hi"

"You both look beautiful and I love your shape especially." He compliments us which of course I knew I am. 

I'm tall, fair and a bit chubby. I consider my self lucky to have such a good shape.

"Can I have your number?" He confidently  asked as if I would give him.

"No" I bluntly refused.

"I will give you mine" Lizzy said blushing which I was okay with.

Few days later, he insisted on talking to me and I eventually agree to talk and we became tangled. Though Lizzy got upset about it and later said she is okay with it.

"Thank you all, i really appreciate the love" I managed to say, feeling elated as I cut the cake and the music began playing again.

I danced and drank till I was high and dizzy. It was midnight so I wasn't bothered. Tomorrow is Sunday which means the party continues. After all Tommy is rich.

Awhile later, I went outside to catch my breath smiling and staggering my way to the door entrance. Upon stepping outside, I was welcome by the chill breeze that hung in the air. It was cold and refreshing. I gladly inhale and exhale feeling relaxed. 

"What a long night !" I muttered beneath my breath. The ringtone of my phone alert me, seeing the caller awake the anger in me. I began to contemplate on picking it or not but I choose to pick.

"Hello, where the hell are you? I have been calling all day but you weren't picking up" Lizzy said in an exasperated manner.

"Am I supposed to tell you my every move?" I retort back sharply. I was so angry at her for not coming to my party and for making me miss a core course test that was conducted in the class. She knew I went out with tommy and I couldn't have time to read for the test. Now, I have to bribe the lecturer.

"Okay listen, there is no…" The network began to mess up  and I barely hear what she was saying.

"Hello! Hello!" I tried calling but the network began busy. Now the air was getting chilled than before and I was feeling cold so I turned to head back when I heard a loud bang on my head, so loud that everything began to echo and I felt dizzy at the same time.

'What's happening?' I asked within as I slumped and my body thud heavily on the floor as the warm substance streamed heavily from my head. 

A few minutes later, I stood up looking confused and wondering why i fell down when I heard a familiar voice talking and another guy walked passed me as if I was an hologram, It feels strange, I try calling but they couldn't hear me instead i saw a body that look just like me lying lifelessly on the floor in a pool of blood.

"Are you sure she is dead?"  The coarse voice whisper.

"Yes boss" the guy that walk passed me replied confidently.

"Okay, carry the body and get out of here before anybody began to suspect anything" the person said hastily.

Too much feelings for just a day, I couldn't cry or scream out. Who would have thought that this person would be my murderer.
