Why was I being given medication for such a thing? Why had the doctor not said anything to me about this? Surely, we were both only intimate with each other, so why the need for such antibiotics?

I headed home with so many questions pondering in my mind. When I got home the house was empty, but it felt strange. I’m not sure where he was or when he would be back, but I just knew I needed to clear my head for a while. I packed my bags thinking I would head to my friend’s house which is when he called me. He stated there was a family emergency and he had to head to Cairo and would be back in a couple of days. I was relieved… I would have some peace and serenity to myself. I could hopefully heal in peace.

In his absence I focused on myself. It took a while for my body to heal.
