THIRD PERSON

athena walked back up to the section with urban, laughing at what urban had said. the two stayed at the bar for a bit, taking multiple shots. she looked at jack and instantly knew something was wrong by his demeanor.

her eyes then looked at where she left her phone and where her phone sat in jacks hand. her stomach dropped, instantly knowing what was wrong. the rest of pg besides ace still didnt know what was going on, so they were just minding their own.

once athena made it close enough to jack, he spoke over the music "you got a call" he said nonchalantly. "i did ?" she said nervously, setting down her drink. "yea jordan" he paused "he wanted to get back on the topic of you guys"

at this point the group was silent, only music playing in the background. jack stood up and when athena didnt respond he continued "you talking to your ex ?"

she kept her eyes on the ground, to afraid to make eye contact with him. when he didnt get a response he scoffed "thats how it is ? we take a fucking break and you run away to your ex ?" he said, the anger laced through his voice.

jack brushed past athena and out of the section. security was about to follow when he told them not too. athena glanced at urban, disappointment written on his face.

she quickly grabbed her stuff and followed jack out the building. he walked out the back door, needing air. "jack" she said, trying not the cry but the lump was building up in her throat.

"what the fuck athena" he finally made eye contact with her. at the moment he didnt care that she was about to cry, he was so angry.

"what was the point of us ? six fucking months ! i settled down because i saw a fucking future with you and you still go back to him ?"

athena eyes were beginning to blur from the tears welding up "jack i-" "i thought everything was back to normal ? you said you felt the same fucking way. i thought we were dating-" athena cut him off "nothings official jack"

she instantly regretted saying that after seeing the expression on jacks face "you're drunk" she just needed to get mad at him for something to feel better "we didnt make anything official yet, were just friends"

jack shook his head and sniffled, trying his best to keep his chill "i didnt know friends fucked and said i love you" athena stayed quiet.

he looked at her and bitterly laughed "get your shit together" he walked back into the club, leaving athena to stand in the cold.

...

after the argument the two had she focused on herself. jordan had called her the next day and it took everything in athena not to go off on him. instead, she told him to fuck off in the nicest way possible.

since then shes been in her studio, finishing up her album. she made a few songs off her freestyles and only really was on her phone to text drake.

he had finished the album and just needed help with editing things and putting everything in place so thats what athena did.

her manager had scheduled her a meeting with the label to approve the album. athena really didn't take anyones shit nor did she care so she really wanted to say fuck the label and do it herself but her manager insisted .

she walked up to the building with her hood over her head, shades covering her eyes while her beanie covered her forehead. she was numb, didnt care about anything. she didnt even get the chance to explain to jack, just fucked everything up.
