clear,who is the doctor that even tested you for
HIV huh?
Joy: nobody
Donald: so how do you know?
Joy: Daniel just told me he was sick and his
parent took him to the hospital and he is said
to be HIV positive so automatically i am too
because daniel and i have done some stuffs
together.
Donald: i don’t believe you and i can never
believe a person like you.Seriously you need

of making friends with you.So tell me oh,why

Joy: (laugh and cry at thesame time) i have
HIV donald,i have HIV! (looked into my eyes
as tears dropped down) I just want to die!
Donald: (removed her hand from my cloth) let
me call for help
I went to mums room and called her attention
towards joy.We saw joy about to jump from
the balcony,i pulled her back as she fell on the
floor.
Joy: This is the second time you are stopping
my death!
Mum: What demon has possessed you huh?
Joy: (laughs) you better shut up you this
barren woman who doesn’t have a child of her
own.
Mum: (slaps her) how dare you call me that!
Joy: is it not true ni,you better mind your
business and let me die (she burst into tears)
Donald: mum joy isn’t okay at the moment,she
believes she has HIV since her boyfriend has.
Joy: I dont believe,i just know!
Mum: you can’t be so sure until a doctor tests
you and besides,when you were taking to the
hospital,the doctor never mentioned you had
HIV.
Joy: (laughs and cry) leave me alone! (she
held her head)
Donald: What do we do now?
Mum: look son,i’ve been in lot of trouble
because of Joy.We’ll just try to stabilise her
until her parents comes to pick her up
tomorrow.
Donald: That would be good but how do we
stabilise her?
Mum: i have a sleeping pill in my bag go and
get it for me with a glass of water.
I did as i was instructed,i brought the drug and
a glass of water.
Mum: you’ll be the one to persuade her into
taking the drugs.
Donald: Alright mum
I went close to her,”Everything would be okay”
i gave her a hug.
Joy: (smiles) are you sure?
Donald: (smiled back) yes i am
She collected the drug from me and gulped it
down with the glass of water.
Donald: I’ll take you to your room so you can
rest.
She nodded her head as i carried her to her
room.I placed her on the bed,she gripped my
cloth
Joy: (tears fell from her eyes) i’m sorry for..for
everything.All i ever wanted was for people to
give me attention and be there for me but even
non of my families care about me…I… (She fell
asleep)
I felt so sorry for her cause i never tried to
understand the reasons behind her actions,i’ve
always been judging her.I’ve always knew joy
had a good side but her hell attitude never
brought that side out.I checked the time at it
was already 3am in the morning.I had only few
hours to sleep before exam I went to check on
mum who was in tears,i knew why she was
crying.
Donald: joy never meant what she said to you.
Mum: i can’t believe what joy is turning into
and it’s all her parents fault.They never had
time for her that is why she is like this.
Donald: She is not fit to write the exams
Mum: I’ll have to persuade her into writing it
then later we would go to the hospital
