Chapter 4:

Best Friends Forever

That odd, floating euphoria. Yesterday, just floating, it seemed. They were content, like they haven't been entire life. Back in their teenage years, when they used to stay up most of the night, watching saddening videos online, and contemplating a life with a suicidal tendency, as if deliberately they were trying to bring themselves down.

Annabeth saw so many pictures of all of her absurd mistakes and dare she state it, she almost missed it. She earnestly wished she could do it again, go deep enough to fill the sink with blood, splash the floor bright fucking red, deep enough for stitches. There once was an ideal time in Annabeth's life when she wanted her entire arm sufficiently covered in stitches and cuts and gauze. She wanted to be so fucking thin that she was nothing but a walking skeleton.

That's when she instantly caught herself. Why was she thinking like this? Why was she deliberately trying to bring herself down again? She tried nearly everything in her power to be rid of these problems. Yet they were over here until an hour ago.

Problems, problems, problems.

It was the one thing in Annabeth's list that never fell short, always increasing, always judging, always disheartening. Euphoria remained a foreign concept, because the moment she felt it she recollected the things she would rather forget.

Working for Tony felt like a problem to Annabeth. It had, at present been about one month since she moved in to the Stark mansion and had started working.

Pepper was an absolute delight for Annabeth as she became the best girl friend Annabeth had always needed but Tony, on the other hand, gave her more unnecessary and needless to say, annoying work as the days passed.

Once he requested her for coffee and kept saying it wasn't hot enough for him to drink— resulting to a trip to Starkbucks at least seven times.

Another time, Tony forced the girl stay awake till three am to sort out his art collection— which he ceased up getting rid off the very next morning.

There was only one thing she appreciated about her job —that is, except of Pepper— and it was the online courses in Columbia University that she'd attended every evening. It was frustrating, and she wanted to kill herself or kill Tony most of the time (So, nothing new right?) but she knew that in the end —if she ever made it, till the end— it would be worth it.

And then there were times— times when Tony revealed the glimpse of a man she had once been so very much in love with. She sometimes felt like she was conclusively with what was hers because she was falling in love with him all over again.
