Zaria's POV
I brought out the outfit I picked out last night for the hangout with the girl. It was a blue crop top under a denim jacket and black jeans with baby pink designer convase. Aisha is very good at picking cloths and shoes for me whenever we go shopping.
I stood in front of the mirror as I styled my hair into a back bun and gelled my edges into curls. I made up my face a little bit and took my phone

Beneath The Surface (A Nigerian Teen Fiction)✔ Chapter 35- Finale
Zaria's POV "Are you ready?" Joel asked me and I nodded, staring ahead at the Iron gates of the Prison. I suggested that we came here. I needed my complete healing as Joel had said and by that, I need to face the greatest demon of them all.I need to face Sam. We both got down from the car and walked in through the gates. Joel motioned me along towards a man that was beckoning to us. His uncle was the commissioner of police so he helped me pull a few strings to make this happen. I was very nervous to say the least. My heart was thumping and I was unsure of myself. I felt Joel pick up my hand and I watched him plant a kiss at the back of my palm repeatedly, a gesture that reassured me everything would be okay. We got into the cell and I scrunched my nose as different smells hit me so I resulted
Beneath The Surface (A Nigerian Teen Fiction)✔ Chapter 34
Zaria's POV. I was discharged few days ago so I was back home, though my right hand was still in the cast. I didn't want to go back to that house, to the room where I was raped. It brought back so many ugly memories but what choice do I have? I had to stay with Aisha because the therapist advised it. Sam was charged to court and sentenced to fifteen years imprisonment with hard labour. After that, my parents tried having normal conversations with me and tried to act like nothing actually happened but I wasn't giving them that, at least not yet or rather not any time soon. School had already resumed but I wasn't going. Everyone already knew about what happened to me. The press wouldn't just leave my family alone and soon it was all over the social medias and mass media. I was so humiliated. I already missed a week and now it's Sunday.
Beneath The Surface (A Nigerian Teen Fiction)✔ Chapter 33
Zaria's POV. I was facing the window, backing the door. Rachael just left after trying to get me to eat. My parents tried to see me again but I didn't want to see them. I never want to see them. The guys rarely came because school would be resuming soon and they were really busy. Ada came with them sometimes but she just hid in the shadows and said nothing. I didn't want to speak to her either. Joel on the other hand made enough time to see me. Rachael told me he would be here soon. I tried my best to forget what happened to me but I couldn't. It was already scarred to me. Thankfully I was given the pro sex drug to prevent me from getting any sexually transmitted disease or even get pregnant. But the most painful part of all of it is that I was stripped of my innocence. I wouldn't have imagined loosing my virginity at the age of 17. I sig

Joel's POV"Joel!" I heard Charles call my name but I didn't move from my spot. I just sat down on the bench and buried my face in my hands. "Joel." His voice got closer and I knew he had found me. I still didn't lift my head up. Why did I run? I'm such a coward. She saw me run. What would be going on in her head now? "What the hell was that about?" Charles asked immediately he got close to me and that was when I rose my head up. "I don't know, I don't know why I ran. Why would I run?! What's wrong with me?!" I was asking frantically, rhetorically. Charles sighed and settled beside me. "Guy, I know how you must be feeling. I understand that you feel it's all your fault but don't be so hard on yourself. It has happened. There is no way we can go back and change it." H

Lyla had talked Taju and Kelvin into going home, so only her and Charles were left with me. Lucky for us, my mum was on night duty when we got into the hospital so we were able get Zaria in very quickly. My hand was still bleeding and I was in serious pain but I didn't put my attention to it. It was the least of my problems. I saw my mum walking up to us and I looked up, expecting her to give me great news. "How is she?" Lyla asked, standing up. "She is going to be fine, right?" I asked. "She is going to be fine. She is not yet awake but I promise she will be fine." She looked down at my hand.

Mature and Triggering Scene Ahead. Read at your own risk. ??Zaria's POVI gasped for breath as I woke up with a start, perspiration dripping from my body even with the air conditioning at it's highest. My face was wet but not from sweat. From tears. I took several breaths to calm my racing heart and I allowed my mind to go back to the dream. Suddenly everything became clear; Why I have been having those night mares for a long time and why I couldn't help her when she cried for help. She cried to me for help...I couldn't help all the while because that girl was Me... ...and the man... UNCLE SAM!I looked around frantically and saw it was already dark.
