it was all good for Athena, everything was going on her way. When someone from her past came back.
Athena: Ashley?
Ashley: how are you?
they met in a convenience store. Athena wanted to step away but she can't move
Ashley: I was calling you, many times, I tried to reach out. I even go to your dormitory. but it ends up nothing. I miss you, babe
she extends her arms to hug Athena, but Athena steps back. away from her.
Athena: don't ever touch me
Ashley: I'm sorry babe, can you please listen to me first?
Athena: listen to what? to your lies? I'm in misery because of what you did. I always had nightmares because of what happened to me. how dare you show up in front of me? like nothing happened
Ashley: it wasn't me who set you up. it was Megan and her friends
Athena: you are their friends too, and it was clear as day when I saw you in that door, youre just watching while they took everything from me. now I'm nothing. I'm a piece of garbage. I'm so disgusted with me I can't even tell my parents
Ashley: I want to seek justice to what happened to you
Athena: No!, don't you ever do that! this is my life. not yours!
Ashley: I'm sorry
Athena: I don't want to see you again. never!
Athena's POV
it's like an aftershock. I thought it was over. but then it shakes me again. and now more worst.
I can't stop thinking about what happened that seniors night. those faces around me laughing. those camera shots I heard. and the person who did nothing to save me.
steph: bestie, bestie... wake up!
Athena: (shaking and sweating )
Steph: youre screaming.
Athena: (sobs)
Steph: what happened?
I embraced her
Steph: Oh god! youre shaking, ill get water.
Athena: stay here
Steph: okay.
after I calm down. I started telling her what happened that night. except about ashley. she was so sorry about me. she ended up crying
Steph: do you remember their names?
Athena: only the two of them
Steph: you need to tell your parents, this is a serious matter. and those who did this to you.
Athena: I want to, but you see, what happened right?
