He seems to have lost his awareness about the environment he was but he was still sane to remember the way to his friends house.

Hee soon got there and knocked the door.

The guys in didn’t hear as they were busy watching Chelsea-Fc Barca match.

It was no match to be missed for them.

He banged the violently.”Who’s that lunatic!!!?”Roqeeb screamed.

Jake pushed the door open and fell on the floor. The four guys,Roqeeb,Thomas,Adam and Nicholas stood up abruptly to revive their friend.

Adam tore a satchet of water and poured it on Jake’s face.He opened his eyes and struggled to sit upright.“Jake,are you okay?”Roqeeb asked.

Jake nodded.“Are you hungry?or sick?”Nicholas asked with concern.“No,I just want to die!”Jake shouted suddenly and bursts into tears.“Dieee!!?”

The guys shouted in horror.“Jemimah has left me.My Joy’s gone.I’m empty.”Jake said with tearful voice. “Mtcheeeew!!!..”Thomas hissed and moved towards the T.V to continue watching the football match.“Why that?”Jake asked. “Because you’re very stupid for crying over a girl”Adam said and pulled his beard. “You can’t understand guys”Jake said.“We are not fools,okay but i think you surely don’t need to cry over that girl.

I knew she’s a betrayer”Roqeeb saidand folded his arms.“So how do we help?”Adam inquired.“Can you follow me to plead?At least she would shy of you guys…please”Jake asked.“I’m not stepping out of this house until this finish(points at the T.V)”Thomas added.“Okay..
