Athena went to her work place for a photoshoot,which she does like every week.
"good morning mam"Cindy greeted her
"what's my schedule?"
"After the photoshoot?"
"would I be asking about your pathetic life instead?"Athena asked looking angry
"Am sorry mam"
"why are you apologizing?did you do anything wrong?"
"no mam"
"get out"
"what?"
"get out of my sight"she yelled
"yes mam"
Athena went to the restroom ,inside one of the cabin she could hear people talking
"what the hell is wrong with her today?"
"she is always acting up"
"just because she is rich doesn't mean she had to be such an arrogant brat"
"Arrogant is an understatement,poor Cindy . she is enduring so much"
wait, were they talking about her?such audacity
"if I was in her shoes ,I woul rather quit"
"what did you say?"The girls panicked seeing thena behind them,oh no,did she hear everything?"what did you just call me?rich arrogant brat?who gave you the right to speak about me like that?what do you know about me?about my life to spout such rubbish from your mouth?"
"we didn't mean...."
"who told you to open that hole on your face?who the hell are you to talk while am still talking?"
"we are sorry mam"one of them apologized
"sorry?do you think sorry can take back the words you just said? nothing can take back the hurtful things you say to someone,do you get it?think before you speak idiot"
"yes mam"they said in unison
"get out before I do something you might use as a horror story for you upcoming generations"
They all ran away immediately while thena went to her makeup room and locked the door.
Now that she was alone ,her tears fell nonstop like floods .she searched for her drugs that was prescribed by her psychologist but the bottle was empty. she must have finished it without knowing,a bitter smile appeared on her face. now she would have to endure the headache and temporary insomnia. she really didn't know what to do anymore,she couldn't get her medicine now that she was going to be grounded for a week.
few hours ago...
Athena entered her dad's study
"good morning dad"
"what do you want?"he answered without looking at her
"my....my.....um"she stammered as her hands became sweaty and she shook slightly knowing she would definitely need her meds after this
"if you have nothing to say,use the door. Am busy"her dad said annoyed
"my....um....Mr Andy wants to talk to you"
Mr Andy was the name of her tutor
"did you fail a subject again?"
"Am sorry dad, I really....."
"I can't continue wasting my money on you . if you fail one more time ,am done"
"Dad am not stupid, am trying my best"
"your best?you call this your best?. instead of paying attention to your studies you are busy wasting your time on that stupid thing you call a job"
"dad, it's not stupid. it's my passion "
"really now?or your ways of dating and breaking up?you are wasting you life Athena"thena was shocked that he knew,did her mom tell him?or was it Jason?
"I have my eye on everything and everyone under my care"
"I was just having fun ,I didn't do anything to ruin the business"
"you are going to ruin this family's name but I won't let you. I won't think twice about throwing you out , don't push me"
"dad please, I....."
"you are grounded for seven days,get out of my sight. NOW!!!"
Athena ran out crying ,her heart felt heavy as her head began to ache, she wanted to just disappear from the face of the earth. she wished this was all a terrible nightmare and she could wake up now, but unfortunately it wasn't and she had to face reality.
.....
present time...
Her headache became worse and she felt dizzy so she called Cindy
"you called for me ?"
"cancel everything on my schedule for today, am leaving"
"but,this photoshoot is very important for the company mam"
"I don't care,cancel it. Am going home"she said her voice trembling as she struggled to get up
"Are you alright?"Cindy asked as she rushed to her side to help but thena pushed her away not wanting her to see how miserable she was
"Am fine,just leave me alone"
Thena took her bag and rushed out. she entered her car as sweat dripped from her face ,her body shook as her headache became even worse . she knew this was going to happen for the next two days until she numbs the pain and gets use to it ,if that was even possible. This is going to be hell for her as always
