Our Love

Athena

Athena P.O.V

I wake up and get ready like usual put on my outfit for school and head downstairs to see my step-dad passed out on the couch drunk. Of course, what do I expect from him? I quietly tiptoe to the front door trying not to wake him because if I do that would cause me a lot of trouble. I walk out the front door and as quietly as possible I shut the door and start walking to the diner where I eat breakfast. I order my usual breakfast while I stare at the super hot guy who serves me every day. While I eat I finish up my homework. 

But of course, today was going too well and something had to go wrong. Bailey aka my worst nightmare walks in. I internally start to panic as I see her start walking towards me. She says her mean comments to me before she tries to order coffee. 

I take the opportunity to try and escape before she talks to me again. I get up from my chair and Bailey bumps into me knocking me to the floor. 

"Watch it", she says before stepping on my hand on her way out. I hiss in pain and hold my hand. That's gonna leave a mark. I look up and see the worker who serves me every day offering out his hand. I stare at him because our interactions up to this point have been minimal. 

I realize I've been staring at him for a while and I finally accept his help. This whole situation has been beyond embarrassing so I quickly finish packing up my things and bolt out of the diner. 

Me being embarrassed I quickly finish my food and leave to go to school.

*A few hours later*

I walk back from school and as I open the front door of my house I see it a rare occasion that my step-dad isn't passed out on the couch and with that, I quickly run to my room and lock the door.

I finished all my homework and by now it's already 8 pm. My stomach starts to growl but I already know that it isn't a good idea for me to go downstairs because I might run into my parents. I opened my drawer and found some crackers and water and I ate that.

Then I watched Netflix on my phone until I fell asleep.

* The next day*

I woke up this morning and like yesterday I was able to successfully get out of the house without my parents noticing. Twice in a row, that's a new record.

 I head to the diner and order my food and once again I see Bailey enter the diner. Am I going to have to find a new place to eat breakfast because I can't keep running into Bailey?

She walks up to me with her milkshake in hand and a snarky tone she goes "Hey " and without warning she pours her milkshake over my head.

I just sit there in shock not moving. I look back up at her and she smiles, "The milkshake didn't taste good so I thought I'd just give it to you". I open and then close my mouth in an attempt to reply. 

And then out of nowhere, I hear a deep voice yell.
