I'm Sorry I Killed your sister

My name is Apollo, and I have a twin sister Artemis. We do everything together, like literally everything together. She was my best friend and I was her's. Our birthday was about to come up and I was secretly her planning her a surprise party with some of our friends from school. I dialed up her boyfriend Tristan.

"Hello?" Tristan answered

"You ready?"

"Uhh.., no not yet in like an hour from now we're almost done organizing the shit" I replied

"Fuck Ok, hurry up cause you know her, she's a smart cookie"

"Bye"

I hung up thinking how much wasn't done instead of what was done I was pacing in the restaurant. Erica came up to me patting my shoulder.

"There there everything will be fine come on think after this I'll be gone and catching that flight to the Philippines in thirty minutes so calm down, ok?" She said to me as she put her hand my shoulder if you don't move that hand woman I will burn you don't tell me to calm down I will throw you  I thought as I took a deep breath calming my nerves just a bit it was so small that I swear my eye twitched. She must've sense my darkening aura cause she stepped back really fast.

"It's ok I get it your worried I got it I'm just, I'm just gonna go get your sister Athena I hear her crying" Erica said fast almost running towards my child.

"ERICA DON'T YOU DARE, YOU BETTER FREEZE WOMAN!" I yelled at the top of my lungs." Shes my responsibility so I, me, must take care of her, so do something besides that like check the list five times" I ordered her and ran towards Athena. I knocked on the door to check if anyone was there which there was beside the 8 month old, I saw my aunt holding her.

"She just started crying as I was getting a book from the bag you set out."
My aunt told me I nodded my head reaching my arms out motioning my aunt to hand her over to me. She placed Athena in my arms
"It's ok papa's here, ok? So stop crying" I told her cradling her, I was slowly rocking her for about ten minutes when she fell back asleep.

I was humming still rocking Artemis when Erica burst through the door "I'm getting ready to leave, ok? I just wanted to say bye to the both of you I already called them to tell them to come and I told Artemis bye so bye baby Athena bye Apollo I'll miss you guys" Erica let in a breath I just nodded my head, I raised Athena's hand waving it at Erica and turning back around. "Alright..... bye guys" she said quietly exiting out the room.

"Ok, let's go see what she at least did" as I put Athena down in her makeshift crib.  I walked out the room thinking about how it would go. Asking myself questions would she like it? Would she be mad?, would she be thankful for we have done? Thinking about it just made my head hurt, then I soon walked towards the fridge looking for a drink.

I found milk bottles for the baby and beer bottles who the hell put them together?! I rearranged the drinks to their respective order. Grabbing a bottle for me and milk for Athena. Warming it up I walked back into the room only to see my aunt singing to her.

I stood there by the door looking at her singing and looking at the baby on how peaceful she is. It made me smile at the scene,and made me calm.Then started listening to the song that she was singing. It was the song that she sang to me when I was younger, but I don't know for how long she sang it since I still remember the lyrics.

I decided to finally walk into the room, I went beside my aunt and started joining to sing the song with her. The baby was asleep once we ended the song. My aunt looked at me and smiled, then it turned into a frown real quick. She sighed and put the baby back in the crib.
