Cecilia's POV
I'm walking through the corridor and seeing her arguing with Jane. What does she wants? I want to approached, but Marco tapped on my shoulder. "Do you want to go to the canteen together?"
I ignore him. I walked to our office and start to writing his report. Julia keep telling me to not looked obvious.
I want to get back to him, but he should feel how it likes to get dumped. He sits on his office chair and sighed. "Jane.." he scoffed, then stand up and left me alone.
I sighed in relief and try not to keep obvious. All Julia's plan worked so well so far. I should give her credit for that. Speaking of witch, why does she avoiding me? Did I made a mistake?
He comes back with a paper bag of snacks in his hand. "I... don't know your favorite, but..." He puts it on my desk. I'm glancing at the bag, then shifted to my computer.
I stand up as Katrina walked inside my room. "Kat, let's go!" Katrina smiles, then looked at Marco, who was still standing in front of my desk. We're heading to the canteen together and followed by Marco.
He following behind us. I groans. "Why? I'm heading to the canteen to. Is that a problem? If it's..."
"No, you don't have to." My voice cold and detached. I took a deep breath and start talking about Seventeen's comeback with her.
Julia's POV
Ashley put a tea cup in front of me, then she pulled a chair. "You can't be stressed, Julie. You should get some rest." I took a deep breath and pondered.
My eyes keep staring blankly at their interactions. "What if... I found you a someone to date, hm?" I'm glancing at her, then back to the monitor.
"I just need time." I leaned on my chair, then sighed. "I was thinking about what Jane told me earlier. What do you think about it, Ash?" I'm looking at her.
Ashley pulled a chair and sit next to me. She holds my hand and sighed. "You already be friend with her. Do you want ruined your friendship just for love?" Ashley was right. This emotion makes me crazy and depressed.
She looks happy with him. "I wish I'm not helping her. Instead, I choose to tortured myself for helping her." Ashley massaging my hand. "Maybe it's a fate, doesn't it?"
"That's okay..."
"I don't want to get disturbed. You can leave." I walked out of my room, then heading to the parking lot.
I saw Marco, Cecilia, and Katrina inside the lift. "Julie!" She called me. I'm ignoring her by go downstairs using a stairs, but she keeps following me. "Hey, wait!" I stopped, then glared at her with tears in my eyes.
"Stop following me!" I raised my voice. She gasped. "I..." Julia, calm down. I continued my way to the parking lot. "Go to my cabin, please. I don't want get disturbed." Mr. LeBlanc nodding his head.
Cecilia's POV
I stir my food and sighed. It doesn't feel right. Why she always avoiding me and thinking something was wrong between us? I support my chin, then looked at outside the window. She gets inside of her car, then leave.
Where she's going? "What's wrong? You're not..." I stand up, picked my tray, then put all the food into the trash. I took a deep breath. A memory of her teary eyes play inside my head. What's wrong with her?
I'm looking at Ashley, who walked inside the canteen. "Ash." She smiled at me. "C-can I... ask you something?"
Ashley sighed and nodding her head. "What do you want to ask?" We're sit on the tall chair inside this canteen.
I'm wringing my hands and bite my lips. "D-do you know what's wrong with Julia? She seems..." Why I suddenly care about her?
"She's fine. She just... stress with the deadlines." I'm nodding her head. Ashley might be right. Why I'm feeling not sure about all of this? I'm taking a deep breath and sighed.
I took a deep breath, and I feel unsettling inside. "I saw her... get out in this hour. What's wrong?" I asked her again. Ashely sighed. She exhaled through her mouth and tried to force a smile.
I know something was off. She's not get out from this office for unknown reason. There's might be something. She did not answer my question, and looked at me in the eyes as if searching for something inside me. "Can I asked you one question, Cecil?"
I furrowed my brow. The air start to become heavy as she sipped her tea, then sighed. "Why do you want to comeback to Marco? He already dumped you." She's got a point. Why did I want to comeback with him?
I did not answer her question. "There's someone out there, who loved you. That person hold back every pain you caused and made that person get sick." What!? Ashley get up, then tapped my shoulder, holds my hand tight. What do you mean, Ash? Who's that person?
"My suggestion stop acting like you want it, Cecil. There someone better, than him waiting for you to confess. That person already bottled up their feeling towards you for years." Ashley leave the office.
Who's that person? Why he hold that feeling towards me? Is that Julia's brother? No, it's impossible! We're haven't met, or... her dad? I'm shivering just imagining I become Julia's mother. Or maybe her?
My thoughts full with guessing and conspiration about who has feeling towards me. I sighed and walked to my office with thousands of un-answered questions. I took a deep breath and sighed.
Why I should stuck in this complicated situations!? Now, I should find out how to get out from this. This is too complicated for me.
Julia's POV
I'm chopping the woods with axe. "You're here..." I'm looking back, then put aside of the axe. Kevin handing me a can of beer, then he sits on the piled of wood.
"What are you doing here!?" Kevin scoffed. He sighed. "Are you asking for..."
"No. I'm here to... looked out my sister. Is that wrong?" He said.
I sit on the other side, then opened the beer. "Ashley said... you're here, so... I decide to disturbed you for a bit."
I scoffed. "I'm fine. I'm not doing a stupid thing." I take a sip.
"I'm sorry for everything." I'm looking at you. "Mocking you in front of the higher ups, asking you a lot of money, and.... being a completely jerk to your best friend." He looked me in the eyes. I brushed it off, then scoffed.
"I only glad you already..."
"I mean it. I'm fucking mean it, sis. Now, tell me. Why you..."
I stood up and put the empty can next to him. "I just need time to recover, please leave me alone." I'm staring into his eyes.
"We're already grown up man and woman." He's right. We're not a teenagers anymore. "Just... don't let the bears eat you." He tapped my shoulder, then left. I sighed in relief, and looked at his back. He really mean it.
"I'm sorry too, Kevin." I mumbled to myself. I continued chopped the wood, until the basket was full.
