My roommate caught me selling her clothes to pay my rent and I blamed her boyfriend

Na so my own life don take shape. I dey 300L, scholarship money don finish, my father's shop don burn, and rent don double. My roommate, Chioma, she get plenty clothes wey she no even wear sometimes. One day I just carry two of her dresses, sell them for N12,000 to a girl for Awka. I tell myself say she go understand, but I never tell her.

When she noticed, I told her say her boyfriend, Emeka, must have collected them for his side chick. She believed me. She even confronted him, and the guy nearly got beaten by her brothers. I watched her cry for three days and I kept quiet.

Since that day, I don't fit sleep well. I still dey pay rent, but my conscience dey bite me. I know say I need to tell her the truth, but I'm scared of losing the only person wey dey tolerate my broke self. God when? I just pray she forgive me when I finally confess.
