The last week at work was good. I don't know why but I'm starting not to hate Harry. Something I never thought I'd say. I still don't understand why he was so rude to me on the first day. I mean he humiliated me in front of all those people. What were in those files? As far as I'm concerned Amethyst doesn't have any secretive business except than files of employees with personal information. And even if they did Harry wouldn't have that file. He's just an accountant.

Today is Sunday. I wake up after a peaceful sleep. I take a warm shower. The warm water soothing my skin and releasing my tension. I blow dry my hair and let it be like that. I wear a floral tank top with shorts.

I eat bacon and toast for breakfast. I have to do my laundry today. I take my laundry and press the button on the elevator to go to the laundry room. As the elevator door opens I see a familiar tall being standing in front of me.

"Hey." Harry says.

"Hello! What are you doing here?" I ask walking into the elevator and pressing the button on the elevator.

"I thought you're gonna say 'Please leave me alone.'" He teases.

"If you want I can say that."

"No. Don't say it."

"Okay. So what are yo-" He cuts me off.

"Yes. I came here to meet my childhood friend Ed. What about you?"

The elevator door opens on the ground floor and he starts walking with me. I don't mind actually.

"I live here. Second floor, 2/B."

"Bought the apartment?"

"Yep."

"I could pay a visit whenever I come to see Ed."

"What makes you think you're welcomed?"

"Aren't I?"

"Look...I-"

"Are you still mad about that incident?" He asks with curiosity in his eyes.

"No. I'm over it now."

"But you hate me."

Not true.

"I don't hate you. I just don't like you." Does that even make sense?

"Yay!" He squeals like a child. "You'll like me very soon. I'm a very likeable person."

"I highly doubt that."

"C'mon Christy. Loosen up."

My smile turns into a frown listening to the name he just called me. I stop on my track. I feel like someone just hit my brain really hard. My eyes start to get filled with tears. I try my best to stop it from falling.

He notices my jaw getting tensed. He could feel the tension and his eyes lost it's shine wondering if he did something wrong.

"Are you okay?" He finally speaks.

"Please don't call me that." I manage to say it.

"I'm sorry."

"Just never call me that. Anything but that."

"But why?"

"Just don't."

I can't hold back the tears anymore. I forget about my laundry. I take the stairs and run back to my apartment. As I finally reach there I leave the laundry on the floor and through myself on the bed letting all the tears out.

All those dark moments come back to my mind. All those days when I had nothing. Nothing. Those days of betrayal, pain and tears the people I loved the most gave me.

It was really hard for me to keep these thoughts out of my head. I feel so vulnerable right now. It's been really hard for me. I know tonight I'll not be able to sleep scared of having any nightmares. I know I'll be crying the entire night. And I know there will be no one to confront me.
