CHAPTER 7 – THE ONE WITH THE ARTWORKS 1.6
"They are so afraid of you. It's no longer respect, it's fear. Do you want that? They no longer know you as their sister. The question is, do you still know who your siblings ar---"
I stopped from talking when she suddenly closed our gap. I heard PM and AM shouting my name.
I felt the cold wall on my back. He pushed me against the wall of this room. She's giving me the deadliest stare she could give, but that's not what terrified me, it's her hands, her hands around my neck. She's choking me.
Fuck I can't breathe!
"Sister! Let go!" I heard AM shout as she quickly approached her sister. PM tried to push her away from me, but the pressure of her choking me was too much.
"Sister! Please stop!" PM begged, not wanting to pull his sister.
I didn't expect her to be this violent. Her eyes, her pupil, they're dilated just like the night she told me not to be her enemy. It's not her choking that hurts the most, it's her nails. I can feel a tingling pain as her pointed nails dig deeper around my neck. Fuck! That's going to leave marks. It hurts.
I really hurts. The pain was so bad, I couldn't stop the tears that had been welling up in my eyes. They were finally falling. I felt helpless. I couldn't even stop myself. The only thing I could do was cry. Aside from the physical pain, there was also the pain in my chest that the person who saved you twice, the person you thought you could be a friend to, is now choking you.
It was hard to breathe, not only because of her choking, but also because of the heaviness in my heart. How can she do this to me? How can she hurt like that?
"A--ouch..." I cried in pain as I'm literally crying in front of her.
I just cried so much. I didn't know how to fight, I just cried.
For a quick second, her facial expression suddenly changed. It's like a saw a glimpse of worry in her eyes. But it quickly disappeared.
She let go of me after that. I immediately gasped for air when she let go of me. I felt the twins quickly approach me and support me.
"Sister Sky...sorry" AM said crying.
"Sister, your neck is bleeding." PM's also crying when he said that.
I quickly grabbed the painful part of my neck. When I checked my hand that touched that part, I saw blood. It's because of how she buried her nails around my neck.
Fuck! I hate this! How could she do this to me?! She's just so mean!
I looked at her as I continued to cry. I was a little stunned when I saw her reaction. She was staring at my hand that had a small stain of blood on it. She looks...scared and shocked.
"I'm---I am---'
She looks scared. She wants to say something but she can't. I don't know if she's sorry or what. But whatever it is, this is too much. There's physical pain involved. I don't know if I can forgive her for this.
And because I couldn't look at him because of what he did to me, I went out myself. I ran towards the door. I bumped into him but I didn't care anymore. That person was really, really annoying.
In addition to that, my heart is too heavy. I don't want to be in the same room with her. I can't bear to look at the expression she's giving. How can you choke someone and give her a shocked look? That's just so fucking abusive!
I thought he was just a pain in the ass to talk to. He can also hurt physically! I hate it!
How long will I let him treat me like this? You idiot, Sky!
I wanted to fight him. Back then, when someone was fighting me, I would fight back. When Riley and Luna were kids, I would always defend them from our enemies. Especially when it was a joke because I was the tallest of the three of us.
But here, little girl, I'm just letting you treat me like this.
What about her?!!!!
Tomorrow...
"I'm giving you 30 minutes to finish your quiz."
The twins nodded slowly and began to answer the test papers in front of them. This is the first time that I'm giving them a long quiz.
The classroom was so silent that even the slightest movement could be heard inside. While the two of them were answering, I walked inside. When I got close to the mirror in the room, I saw my reflection and immediately grabbed my neck.
I'm currently wearing a red turtle neck cashmere. I wore this to hide the marks on my neck.
I still can't believe the incident that happened yesterday, where my boss choked me and left small cuts on my neck.
I'm crying again. Every time I remember what happened, I can't stop the tears from welling up in my eyes. Okay! How can I explain to mom why I have a scratch on my neck? What will I say to Mykel if she sees it? I'm sure Luna and Riley won't stop me if they see this. I'm afraid that Luna will find out, especially because she'll come running here.
Can I go home later even though I'm off tomorrow?
I still have many questions in my mind. Like, can I still endure this if Thera doesn't change her treatment of me? I should get my salary now. I keep thinking, don't come back when I get my first salary.
I could hardly sleep again last night. Around twelve o'clock last night, Dahlia came with medicine for the wound. She was worried. It was too late for the twins to admit what their sister had done to me. Dahlia helped me clean my wounds. She even said she would talk to Thera. I told Dahlia not to do it or I might get even more angry.
He didn't even apologize for what he did.
After I walked out yesterday after he choked me, I just locked myself in my room all night. Only the twins brought food. They kept apologizing to each other. I said, it wasn't their fault. I also don't feel bad for them for insisting on teaching me. Even if their sister choked me, the fact that we didn't do anything wrong won't change. He really has a problem.
I asked AM earlier if his sister apologized for slapping him. AM told me yes. She said she went to his room and talked to him. I didn't expect him to do the same to me, but I hope he did, even if it was just a simple apology, even just in an email.
Yes, I admit that I disobeyed his order again, but that's not a reason for him to strangle me. Is that what he's referring to, you don't want me to be your enemy? Is that how he treats people when they're his enemies? Does he already consider me an enemy? I'm also asking myself, if he apologizes even though it looks even more blurry than my grandmother's eyes, can I forgive him?
I'm already traumatized by what he's doing.
"Sister..."
I quickly turned around because I thought PM was calling me, but to my surprise I turned in their direction. It wasn't me he was calling...
