Bimbo blinked her eyes at her boyfriend rapidly scoffing at his words, “Did you just hear yourself Jeremiah?” she asked, her voice going an octave higher.

“You will do what?” she asked again and Jeremiah sighed softly.

“You know what’s going on Bimbo, you know i might have been the one in the hospital or maybe you would be crying right now because I would be gone but that’s not the case thanks to him” Jeremiah replied trying to reason with her.

“That’s more the reason why you shouldn’t do it. Do you know what this means?” Bimbo questioned again; “I know that we would owe him and till we graduate we might never be able to repay him back for everything he has done for us. But King’s path is doomed to be bloody, you and I know that what King wants is revenge and he has planned that so carefully since the first time he stepped foot into this school, you weren’t here then and so wasn’t I" Bimbo continued.

“This fight isn’t our fight Jeremiah, it’s a fight that has spanned over seven years and you want to get dragged into it?” she asked again.

“I won’t allow it” she stated firmly getting up from the bed, “If you want to go ahead with that decision Jeremiah; you will have to rethink whether you still want this relationship or not” Bimbo finished and Jeremiah’s brows were immediately pulled together.

“Abimbola, what did you just say?” Jeremiah asked slowly getting out of bed as well. Bimbo seemed dazed for a minute at Jeremiah’s question but she slowly chuckled seconds after.

“You heard me, you will need to pick one between King and this relationship. I cannot afford to support that decision of yours Jeremiah. You aren’t even a member of the Titans!” Bimbo exclaimed, folding her arms.

“If I cannot speak to you and you can listen to me, I don't know why we are dating too. Why can't you take my advice even if all I care about is you. I don’t want you to die, that decision you want to make means death” she added and Jeremiah sighed softly.

“Bimbo, how many times do I have to explain this to you? You know as much as I do and you know that I have to do this. I have to” Jeremiah pleaded again and Bimbo shook her head.

“No, you certainly do not have to. Did King ask you to? Did Black ask you to? Did Queen say anything? I know those three would never say anything of such to you, they won’t so why do you want to get involved in something they clearly do not want you to get involved in?” she asked, her voice going octaves higher than before.

Laughing mirthlessly, she continued; “I knew this conversation was going to be useless, you had made up your mind, you weren’t asking for my opinion, you were informing me. And here’s my reply Adeleke Jeremiah, you either unmake that decision or this relationship ends and I mean my words”

“Abimbola, you repeated yourself again. You want to end this relationship?” Jeremiah asked with wide eyes and Bimbo folded her arms nodding her head.

“You think I’m joking?” she asked, “Then you should have thought well and good before making such a ridiculous decision” she added scoffing again.

“Wow, I didn't know this was all this relationship amounted to you. I made that decision after careful planning and considerations, you above everyone else know I am not a hasty decision maker, I think well and i think good. I told you because as my girlfriend, I believed that you would understand me perfectly because you know what’s happening but instead you threaten me with ending our relationship. Bimbo really?” Jeremiah asked slowly.

“Threaten? You think I’m threatening you?” Bimbo asked, shaking her head, “You are literally both speaking different languages Jeremiah, how come I've never noticed this before?” she asked with a small smile that made Jeremiah chuckle slightly.

“I also never realized how little the trust you have placed in me is. If I choose to do something; I’ll see it to the end. You should know that if I had chosen to do something like this; i definitely have a way to handle it” he said slowly.

“You won’t be changing your decision Jeremiah?” Bimbo asked as the latter slowly shook his head.

“No, I won’t" he replied firmly and Bimbo laughed.

“Then, goodbye” she muttered walking out of the room and less than two minutes later, Jeremiah heard the door open and then slammed.

He remained in the same position as if trying to figure out what had happened. He continued staring into space lost in thought.

The phone on the table started ringing and Jeremiah calmly walked towards it, picking up the phone and swiping to accept the call.

“Hey” he greeted quietly.

“That doesn’t sound like you, what’s up?” the other person on the phone asked and Jeremiah chuckled quietly.

“I’m not so sure either but I think Bimbo broke up with me” Jeremiah replied and the person on the other end seemed to have gone quiet for some seconds before screaming right into Jeremiah’s ears.

“What the fuck did you just say?!” he yelled and Jeremiah immediately gave his ears and his phone some distance.

“Seems like Bimbo broke up with me” he repeated again and the latter went quiet.

“What happened?” the person asked as Jeremiah slowly walked towards the bed sitting down.

“Let me call you back,” he replied, not waiting to hear the latter’s reply before hanging up and dropping the phone beside him.

His open palms housed his forehead while he became lost in thought. His thought process was brought to a pause as his phone buzzed with a different sound.

He quickly grabbed the phone, opening the text message to see what it was.
