The breakup hit me like a trailer. Not a keke, not a bicycle, a full 16-wheeler trailer.
I wasn't just sad, I was… ruined.
Suddenly, everything reminded me of Blossom. The songs we shared, the TikTok trends we laughed at, even the word flower made my eyes water. (Imagine crying in public just because someone was buying hibiscus tea? That was me. Embarrassing.)
I spiraled. Oh, I spiraled.
I stopped eating properly, unless you count gala and Pepsi as balanced diet
I binged sad playlists.
I scrolled through our old chats like they were holy scripture.
And the crying? Please. I cried like I was in a Nollywood audition. Loud, messy, dramatic. I even scared my neighbor's dog one night because of the noise. (Okay, I might be exaggerating )

Let me just say: Eva's spiral was Oscar-worthy. She could've won "Best Actress in a Heartbreak Drama." This girl called me at 3 a.m. just to say, "Dara, I can't breathe without her." I wanted to tell her, "Baby girl, oxygen doesn't care about Blossom," but I kept quiet because, you know, sisterhood.
Every day, I tried to cheer her up.
I sent memes.
I told her Blossom didn't deserve her fine face and stubborn heart.
I told her I wished I was closer, I'd have stayed with her..
But nothing worked. She would laugh for two seconds, then go right back to crying.
"Dara," she'd say, eyes swollen, "why does it hurt this much?"
And I'd answer, "Because you gave her all of you. But don't worry. I'm still here. I'll always be here."
Because we weren't just friends. We were sisters.
Still, it didn't stop Eva's chaos.
She posted mysterious "sad girl" quotes on WhatsApp status.
She even considered texting Francis again, yes, Francis the ghost.
Or it was the other way round, he texted her.
(Dara's Commentary)
This girl doesn't just spiral, she cartwheels into stupidity sometimes.
But through it all, the breakdowns, the endless late-night rants, the ugly crying , I never left her side.
Because heartbreaks come and go, but sisterhood? That's forever.
And even if Eva didn't believe she'd survive this, I believed for her.
Even though she doesn't see all of this....
