Here he is. I thought he already stay away from me. Didn't he saw how angry Athena is? He never listened. Still, he only follows himself.
Greige was currently staring at me with a serious expression as I opened the door.
Secondly, it startled myself when he hugged me in a sudden. Why can't I drive him away? It's not right but my body doesn't want to move. A sign that I really love him even if it is hurting me.
He let go of me from a hug after a second. I don't hesitate to ask him, "Why are you here?"
"I just wanted to check on you after what Athena have done." Sincerity and concerns that appeared on his face but it is still not good to treat him better.
"Do you think I'm ok after you ruined my relationship with my sister?" I respond with frustration.
He doesn't think about the consequences after he have done. Only his own feelings are always validated for him.
"I am sorry. It didn't intend to destroy your relationship with your twin. I am just want to express what I have feel for you." Remain, trying to explain but I don't accept that anymore. "I am sorry, Cassidy."
"Do I have many times to tell you that you are not allowed to use my second name?"
He is really stubborn then. He greatly pursuing his own desires. I don’t let him calling me by a second name.
"Why I won't?" He insisted.
"It's ..." He stopped me.
"I am still calling you of that name although you don't want it."
"You're really stubborn." It irritates me more. "I said ..."
"No matter what it takes I still call you Cassidy because you're special." I was facepalmed of what he said.
"How many times I have to warn you to stay away from me? Don't you see my situation after what you did?" Shouting at him because it can't control my emotions anymore.
Suddenly, the smiles on his lips disappeared. He took a deep breath before he spoke. He closed his eyes and there was about to approach me again but I immediately avoided him.
"Do you really want me to stay away and stop this thing? Fine! You'll never see me again. We will never meet again but if ever, I pretend that I don't know you."
Greige slowly walked away to my unit why silently watching him leaving and I immediately closed the door.
I shed again the tears that had been tried to pour before. I know I'm very overeacting and dramatic but this is the only way to prevent all things getting worse. I have no choice but this is the right one for everyone. Even if it is hurting me, I'll just put it up rather than permanently ruining my relationship with sister. I knew Athena. She is not the type of person who can be able to understand and forgive anyone.
I love Greige very much but we are not meant to each other.
I went upstairs and there, I continued to cry. I hugged those pillows over the bed until I fell asleep soundly.
I am currently talking to Zen right now on the cellphone. He greeted me and we talked about my application to their company.
"I am sorry, Althaea. I didn't do my best to make you qualify for the job. I asked our HR consultant here but she said that she found already an applicant needed for the position available." I felt his sadness and dissapointment.
"It's ok, Zen. I will try to find another job next time." I replied in calm way.
He did everything to help me but there was nothing I could do if I did not qualify for that position.
"But, Althaea ..."
"It's ok, Zen I understand. You did some efforts to help but that's enough. I'll be the one who can find a job next time. I've bothered you too much because of this." I really feel guilty for this thing that I shouldn’t expect.
"But will make sure you won't return at the bar anymore. It's not safe for you." He really cares so much that I haven't been able to reciprocate so far.
"Yes. I'm not going back there. I've already told the manager." He smiled a little.
I also told the owner there that I could not go back for work. I just lied that I had found any job.
"Well, Althaea I have to go. I'm late for work. See you later." We simply said goodbye to each other after our conversation.
In the afternoon, I just cooked meat loaf as my lunch since I don't have found a job yet. So, I have to put up with this food first. I won't give up. I still had hope I could get a job.
I  am thinking the reasons why I was not qualified because Athena is sabotaging me. It gives me hope that there would be a company that can admit me. Hopefully, there is more.
After I ate, I washed all my dishes and went straight to my room first.
When it was two o'clock in the afternoon, I suddenly heard a noise in the living room. As if, there's someone knocking on the door again. I saw my bestfriend at the hole.
"Oh my!" Ginger hugged me quickly as I opened the door for her. "I missed you so much, you know that? It's a good thing I settle a leave to visit you my bff."
"I missed you too, Gin. Come in." I let her entering my room then I closed the door and led her into the living room.
"Until now, I still can't move on when they fired you from the company." Ginger's statement which was still moaning.
"I also haven't forgotten it and can't believe it happened." I added.
It was still too painful inside that they would remove me just like that because of Athena's order. During my time working with them, the loyalty that I awarded to the company and mt dedication to my work that were all ignored. It's sad to know that all I've spent with them is worthless.
"Do you know that I am also planning to resign but I thought it wouldn't be that easy to find a job here in the Philippines." She uttered the reason that I turned to her while preparing our snacks. "I was disgusted when they fired you for no reason."
I rested deeply before bringing the snacks to the table. I also want to tell Ginger the reason why I was fired and who have planned it all.
"Drinking the juice first to makes your head cool." I calmed her down before starting that I would like to say.
It was a few more minutes before I spoke and decided to tell her that Athena planned it.
"Gin, I want to tell you something?" It stopped her from drinking some juice.
"Don't tell me you're getting married ..." I laughed a little of what she said.
"No. What are you?" She giggled.
"Now, what is it?" Gin is really impatient to hear about I am going to say.
She is really Ginger whom I know. I love her very much as a friend. She is only one most active and supportive friend.
It was a few more seconds before proceeding to speak to her. I was uncertain.
"Uhm. It is actually Athena is the reason I was fired." Her eyes get widened.
"What?" She looks shock.
"She ordered to fire me from the company we work for." I added.
Ginger could barely move after what she heard from me and there was an annoyance on her.
"How dare your sister!" Disgusting. "How?"
"Athena has a high position to our company therefore she can do what she wants. She also told me that she planned it all."
"How desperate and pathetic she is! 'm sorry, Bez but I'm just so annoyed of your selfish sister." Gin still annoyed.
"He wants revenge on me and stay away from Greige."
"Your twin is really shallow, Althaea. Athena really a worthless sister. She's probably crazy." Ginger said in a frustration to my twin.
Later, I heard again someone knocking on the door.
"Excuse for a minute Gin." I said.
"All right, Bez." She responds.
I peeked into the hole. My forehead frowned of what I saw. The unfamiliar men were outside of my unit. Out of my curiosity, I opened the door and immediately asked them.
"Who are they?"
