Hot Tramp, Daddy's Little Cutie

Chapter 12

Athena's POV

I finished snorting some pain meds for my foot. I don't feel sad or broken , instead I feel angry and betrayed. I mean if Steven wasn't interested he should have straight up told me!

My head starts to spin and I know the pills are kicking in. I navigate through the kitchen and fall to the ground. My foot doesn't hurt, my heart doesn't hurt, nothing hurts. I've become numb.

I can't remember the last time I felt this way, or if I ever had before. I feel like I need a hug from a friend. I'd like to think Joe and I are pretty good friends. I know I want to avoid Steven but I can't get Joe without seeing Steven. If I see Steven I might just loose it.

The more I sit on the floor and more I let my numbness evolve inside of me I almost don't feel the warm wetness falling down my cheeks. I wipe them away with my sleeve and decide I need to have someone with me, I don't want to be alone right now.

I get up almost loosing my balance. I grab my crutches and pull myself together only to get Joe.

I walk out of my apartment and head down the hall. I knock on the door and wait a few seconds before the door opens. Tom. Thank god it's not Steven.

"Hey Athena, looking for Steven?" Tom asked

I pause biting my lip fighting the emotions to go in and whip Steven's ass or break down right here in front of Tom.

Joe will be here in a minute I tell myself staying strong inside

"No actually is Joe around?" I ask

"Uh yeah, do you want to come in?" Tom asked

"No, that's okay. Please tell him to come to my place it's kind of important" I say feeling the walls inside of me starting to crumble

"Is everything okay? Are you okay?" Tom asked concerned grabbing my arm

"I'm fine, just tell him to hurry" I say walking away down the hall back to my place

I leave the door open a crack and sit on the couch face in my hands starting to let the tears fall.

"Athena?" Joe's voice echoes as he shuts the door

I lift my head and hold eye contact with Joe for a second before he comes running over to me.

"Athena! Are you alright?" Joe stammers wrapping an arm around me as he sits beside me

"Joe he cheated on me" I say quietly

"Wait what? I was with Steven the whole night how is that possible!" Joe says confused

"How about I was going to go over to your apartment this morning and say congrats on your deal when some office assistant comes out saying how awesome he was last night!" I say getting angry again

"Son of a bitch, that must have happened after I left the bar at midnight. Athena, I'm so sorry" Joe says

"It's not your fault" I say

"It's not yours either" Joe says "This isn't the first time he's been unfaithful but then again he hasn't been in persay a relationship"

"Joe I don't know how to react to this, I feel betrayed and angry" I say clenching a fist

"Hey calm down I have something for us to share" Joe says trying to calm me down

He pulls two joints out of his pocket and hands one to me. I stick it between my lips and he lights mine for me. I take a drag and exhale the smoke that filled my lungs.

"Better?" He asks

"No, I snorted my meds but that hasn't done much either" I admit

"This is a little stronger then your meds it will take away some of the pain your feeling" Joe said leaning back on the couch extending his arm and resting his feet on the coffee table

"That's the thing, I've gone numb Joe. I can't feel the pain" I say taking another drag

"Come here" Joe says pulling me down into a strong warm cuddle.
I rest my head on his shoulder and exhale the smoke

"Can I ask you a question?" I ask

"Shoot" Joe said blowing smoke into the air

"Does Steven do this often?" I ask

"Do what often?" Joe asked

"Like have more than one chick going at a time" I say

"Well, let's just say this isn't his first rodeo" Joe said

I sigh and cuddle into Joe more. "I don't know if I can handle him doing that. It makes me feel like I'm not good enough and he needs to search for something better" I say

"I think in your heart it sounds like you know what to do" Joe said

"I know" I sigh "I just don't want to say it a loud"

We sit in silence and finish our joints. I feel tired and start to fall asleep on Joe. His breathing started to slow and I think we're in the same boat.

"Joe" I say

"Mhm" he moans

"Thanks for being her for me" I say with my eyes closing

"Anytime, now shh let me sleep" He smiled in his sleep
