ATHENA RUSSO:
Someone is poking me. Poking my cheek. Why? And just... Why? It's too early for this.
"Go away," I mumble, grabbing a pillow and covering my face with it.
"Athena! It's me. Artemis!" The voice whispers.
I groan, "Artemis, it's too early."
"Yes. I know. I'm sorry for waking you up at four am—"
I immediately sit up and look around the dark room before trying to find exactly where she is. I find her sitting next to me, smiling. I rub my eyes and still see her there. I discreetly pinch myself. Nope. This is real.
"Is something wrong?" I quietly ask her.
"Nope. I just wanted to see you."
I sigh and lay back down, "Couldn't you have waited til the morning?"
"About that. I can't. I'm going to Russia for a week to see... some family. They recently made contact with me and wanted to meet up. They're not Russian though, they just live there."
I sit back up and look at her with wide eyes, "What?!"
"Shhh! God, Athena. Why are you so loud?!"
I run a hand through my hair and look around the room. I mean I don't think I'm dreaming but this sure does feel like one.
I look back at Artemis, "So you're leaving in the morning?"
I see her nod, "Yeah. I was busy the last few days so that's why I couldn't come to see you. But I don't want to be some asshole and not try and sort things out between us."
Tilting my head, I say, "Yeah. You're right."
She lays down and I lay down beside her. She grabs my hand and holds it. "You're my best friend, Athena. I don't know if I am yours but you are mine. I don't regret kissing you but I don't want to ruin what we have."
"You are my best friend. And I don't regret kissing you either. But you're right, I don't want to ruin what we have," I firmly say.
"So we stay as best friends?"
"We've been best friends this whole time. Nothing has changed."
She places a kiss on my cheek. I smile and look at her. Even though it's dark, I can still see her dark blue eyes and her blonde hair. She snuggles up next to me and I sigh in comfort.
