*Athena's POV*
It all happened a month and half ago. 46 days to be exact. I had admitted my love for Calum to myself 46 days ago.
As you imagine, my mind is a mess. I just can't stand this thought, but reality is like that. Wether I like it or not, the world is like this.
I look over to Elle that is helping me painting my new room at my new home. She is my best friend and I think this is the perfect time to finally tell her the truth that has been eating me.
“I'm making a coffe, do you want some too?" I ask her, trying to distract her for once and getting an excuse while being occupied with it to finf the words to say out loud what I have to say.
“If you could, that would be lovely!" She smiles. Unfortunately, it will disappear...
I turn my back to her and enter in the kitchen, starting to make coffee for both of us.
When I finally finish it, I sit in the couch that is set in the middle of a big sitting/dinner room full of empty and full boxes. Elle sits right away besides me and, quietly whispering, thanks her cup of coffee.
“You're acting weird, Athena." She starts. “What happened?"
I look to her eyes. I'm so sorry, Elle. “Yes, something happened and it is happening. What I'm about to say will definetly hurt you, although I don't want that." I slowly state.
“It sure can't be that bad." She replies. “Well, say it. You are scaring the freak out of me."
I stay silent for a moment. “IthinkIlikeCalumHood."
“What?" She nervously laughs.
I breath deeply. “I think I like Calum Hood, Elle. THE Calum Hood."
She stays silent. “You what?"
“I said I think I li-..."
She blurts out. “No, I perfectly understood what you said. How can you be like that?!" She furiously stands up. “I thought it was clear when I told you once that Calum is no good for anyone!"
“It is something I can't change! Believe me when I say that I didn't want this to happen, but it is freaking hard to keep it. My heart thinks louder than mind and the real me. I can do nothing." I replied. It is so odd that I am calm with all of this happening.
“Yes, you can! Please, do not do this to me... Athena." She starts whining.
“I can't." I look at her eyes once again. “I can't. I had already told you that it is impossible to change my heart, whether it knows that I will suffer or not. Love is something you can't stop. Is bigger than your life, and you would die to do anything you could."
“Athena!..." She is already crying.
“I truly understand if you don't want to be friends anymore. It is your right to do it. But you need to understand too that I can't live under your orders, thoughts or wishes. I'm a grown up and if I like him, you should at least support me. You're like a sister to me." I can affirm that it is my heart speaking by itself too and I'm so nervous that I can't think about the pros or cons about this.
Suddenly, a thing that I didn't imagine happened. Elle hugs me with so much strength that it almost leaves me in two.
“I love you too, sis."
