Always

Frame Me, For The Fault Defined, And I Would Stand An Anchor In Your Name

-Irin stood up, as she waited for her to speak. "How's your girlfriend? Are they planning against me? Cause it's been two months now and none of them came. Which actually makes me believe that Freen is a total bitch and a killer" Irin gulped nervously replied. "I haven't seen her for a while. We haven't spoken to each other lately." Rebecca scoffed sharply as she retorted. "Told you! Love doesn't exist anymore! Look at mine! And now yours!" Irin gritted as she lashed. "Mine has all the right to act this way Rebecca! You tortured her friend! What do you expect her to do? High five me and kiss my lips! Are you listening to yourself!"

-Rebecca fumed and held Irin from her collar shirt. "MINE KILLED MY FATHER! MINE TOOK AWAY EVERYTHING THAT IS IMPORTANT TO ME!" Irin yanked her hands, knowing that this argument will never end. She fixed her clothes before leaving, but had to ask something just in case. "Before I go. I want to ask you something" Rebecca nodded, as she queried. "Firstly. Do all of your father's assets belong to you? Cause your stepmother is still abroad. Secondly, and this is important. Have you slept with anyone else? By anyone I mean Nop! Since he has been spending some time with you"

-Rebecca couldn't help but to feel disgusted by her words. However, her stomach wasn't helping her much, so she decided to cut the argument and answer her questions. "As of now, all of the assets remain in my father's possession. Remember we haven't announced anything. As for your second question. No one has touched me! And Nop can kiss this thoughts goodbye! NO ONE DESERVES ANYTHING IRIN!"

-Irin sighed and simply nodded, excusing herself as she walked away. Rebecca was left alone in the bathroom, thinking about the possible fact that she might be pregnant from Freen. "Fuck! This is the last thing I want to hear. But whatever! I will make sure that this child never meets her! Never!".

-Meanwhile, Irin decided to drive alone. She's been through a lot lately. Rebecca was causing her pain for her actions. Her relationship with Tee is not as strong as used to. She doesn't want to confront her, cause she knew that it their encounter will end in a bad fight. As she parked next to the drugstore, she noticed a car parked right behind her. At first she didn't bother, but the moment the figure exited, she gasped softly. Instantly, rushingly opened the door and yelled. "Tee!". Tee turned around and looked at her. She didn't show any signs or emotions, she just stood still and waited for her to come closer.

-"Tee! You..you disappeared on me. Why? Why Tee!" Tee scoffed as she shook her head "you know why Irin. So tell me now. Is my friend dead yet?" Irin slammed both hands on her chest as her tears flowed down her face. "N..o. She's alive. I know that everything is going downhill. I can't control Rebecca anymore! She's blind by hatred! I don't blame her for that!" Tee gritted as she clenched her fist. "And you do believe her huh! You do believe that my friend did all of that! After all had happened Irin! I thought you are the voice of reason!"

-Irin held her jacket as she's pleading for her to understand. "Baby..listen to me. I..I know what you're saying. But I can't stop her! The only thing that I can do is to help Freen. Providing her with some food and stuff". Tee laughed sarcastically, as she held her hands. "Are you listening to yourself? Basically, instead of doing ANYTHING ABOUT THIS MATTER! YOU CHOOSE TO JUST SIT AND HELP, WHILE MY FRIEND IS IN GOD KNOWS STATE. RIGHT!"

-Irin gulped, as her body began to shake. She never seen her erupting like that before, let alone yelling at her. "Tee..". Tee interjected, as she lowered her hands. "The reason why I chose to ignore you, so this outcome will never happen. But now I understand that whatever happens, you will always choose Rebecca, Even if she's doing everything wrong. Really I am so disappointed in you" Irin scoffed, while wiping her tears. "Disappointed? Why exactly? Cause your friend decided to kill somebody? Then she entered into the devil's din, ON HER OWN WILL. And now it's me who you are disappointed with? Wow! Amazing!"

-Tee giggled and nodded. "Yep. Cause you chose to sit next to the devil's throne." Irin gritted and retorted. "Then why you all didn't do something? Huh? Are you afraid?" Tee laughed manically and she shook her head. "Afraid? Of whom? Little miss mommy and daddy issues? Nah." Irin instantly pushed her away and warned. "Watch your mouth Tee!" Tee fixed herself and walk closer. "And you watch your tone. We are not afraid. We are following Freen's wishes. But I warn you Irin. If something happens to her. You both won't be able to see the beautiful sunlight!"

-Irin raised her brow and snickered. "Is this a threat? Cause you know that Freen is in a bad situation". Tee shrugged and replied. "Take it as you want. Cause the line between you and me is so very thin." Irin sighed softly as she knew what she's referring to. Their relationship is about to get worse because of her friend. She cannot choose to abandon her, otherwise Freen's blood will be on her hands. "So this is Tee? This is the end between us?"

-Tee simply leaned closer towards her shoulder and whispered. "It might be...unfortunately. Since you are standing with her without doing anything. But, before I leave you. Let me ask you something". The moment she tilted back, as their eyes met, she dropped the bomb on her face. "If Freen was a killer. Why would she do all of this for Rebecca? Why she will endure all of this endless cycle of violence and abuse? She could've killed him in first place. But nah, you both have gone blind"

-Irin scoffed and retorted. "What are you talking about Tee! Freen did killed him! The video-" Tee snarled. "THE VIDEOS AND VIDEOS! ALONG SIDE THE FUCKING PICTURES, I get it. It's the same fucking thing over and fucking over again!". Irin fumed as she cannot handle her manners. She held her jacket once more and queried. "Then tell me! What is Freen to all of you, that you are obeying her instructions like children! You never even answered me back when I asked you about this! So tell me! Why she's important after..all this!"

-Tee yanked her hands, and stepped back while placing both hands in her pocket. "Once upon a time. There was a girl who couldn't afford to continue with her education, because of family issues and work conditions. Then there was a girl who was bullied by her peers, that me managed to grant her our haven. Apparently that girl wasn't normal. She was a guardian angel who bestowed that little poor girl with what she needs. The end"

-Tee turned around and left Irin with the story that she told. Irin knew that she was talking about herself. Since she knew that her life dramatically improved after she started working with Freen in her company. "Then if she's not the killer? Who did it? Why would Freen endure this torture? More importantly, is the our end Tee?"

The moment Tee disappeared from her sight, Irin entered the drugstore and bought the pregnancy test. Her ride back home was filled with tears and blame, knowing that her choice might have been made wrongfully. As soon as she parked and entered the house, she saw Rebecca sitting in the living room. She threw the test at her pointing at the restroom, which made Rebecca perplexed by her sudden reaction.

-A while after, she left the restroom with a million questions on her face. Irin waited as her arms were crossed, looking at her from top to bottom. "So?" Irin asked, while Rebecca gulped showing her the test. "It's positive. I am pregnant, so I-" Irin immediately held her from the collar shirt, and pushed her back to the wall. "Listen..Becky!" she warned sharply "DARE TO OPEN UP YOUR MOUTH TO FREEN, AND TELL HER THAT THIS CHILD IS NOP'S. I SWEAR ON MY PARENTS LIFE, THAT I WILL MAKE SURE YOU WILL SUFFER!"

-Rebecca's eyes widened as she saw Irin's raging eyes. "Irin..I..I" Irin tightened her grip and lashed. "shut up! Just shut up! I agreed to go along with you! And now you will listen to me. Keep your fucking mouth shut! And hide your child WITHOUT LIES!" Rebecca fearfully nodded, as Irin lets her go. "Irin. What's-". Irin turned around and said. "You cost me everything. And if this ended up being another one of those fucking lies. I will never. EVER FORGIVE YOU!"
