You said forever

CHAPTER TWENTY

Athena

Ima kill him I swear. I told Elara that if he hurt her I would kill him, and that's exactly what going to happen to him.

It's about 3 pm and I had dropped off Elara home I can't even stand the look in her eyes the emptiness in her eyes.

I broke my heart. She's always been the one with the look of good and her eyes always had this light to them and they just kept me going.

He messed it up. He broke her heart and stole the light from her. Stole the light of the wrong person.

Cause I'm funna get it back for her. Ima get him, I got a couple of punches in for him and his bitch.

I get home and throw the keys on the counter my mom is at work and Lewis left who know where.

I jog to my room and putting my hair up in a messy bun. I open the door looking straight to my window and outside to the cloudy ass sky.

My window is open just like I have all the time I sit on my bed turning on the tv. I sigh.

I tried talking to Elara and asking her if she needs anything but she is just pushing my away.

I hurts but I know I get the same way when someone hurts me. I lay back down and look at my ceiling damn I just don't know what to do anymore.

He got her in the right place he told her the shit she wanted to hear and I knew there was just something off about the way he just treated her.

Im in the middle of a American horror Story episode when my phone rings.

I get up with a sigh and walk to my desk where I left it charging. Unplugging the phone I see a message for Jake.

Wtf.

Hey, you busy?- Jake

No, why?- Me

Cause idk thought we could hang out -Jake

Ummm where would u wanna hang? -me

Cause I'm planning on killing yo home boy -Me

Wait, wsgon? - Jake

He went to a party with Libitina and made out with her, Elara saw - Me

I'm heading over rn - Jake

I sigh and let my phone drop on my bed. Shit Jakes coming over!!! I quickly hop off my bed and got to my closet I quickly put on a tight small black tank top and super baggy jeans i loop a belt on and leave it lose.

Lose enough to see the top rim of my underwear. My red lace bra showing at the rim of my shirt. I let my hair down and fluff it up. Looking in the mirror a rush to my purse and take out my pen.

I take a couple of hits then put it back just to feel a buzz you know.

I pretend I didn't just fix myself up and lay back down on my bed as if I where there the whole time. I turn to the sound of Jake hopping in through my window.

I watch as he gets in and turn to me. Fine as ever, he is wearing a baggy grey hoodie with a Bennie and baggy black jeans. He look's frustrated af.

His cheeks are red his pupils look dilated as fuck. He mad.

He sighs and sits next to me on my bed. I get up and sit next to him, " What happened?" He asks fixing his Bennie then putting his hands on either side of him.

" He cheated." I sigh, cause we both knew something's like this would happen, we both knew she was funna be the one getting hurt.

" Mother Fucker." He mumbles then he shoots up " Watch!" He says standing up " Ima kill him!!" He walks to the window.

I get up and pull him back by the arm. He turns and " Athena let go ima get him watch" he saying trying to pull away.

I pull his arm again " Stop" I tell him calmly he keeps trying a little more till I don't let go and he stops fighting. He sigh harshly and turns to me looking down at me with his ocean eyes.

" You really are going to kill your best friend?" I ask smiling softly pulling him back and sitting him on my bed.

He shakes his head closing his eyes then opening them looking right at me while I stand between his legs looking at him.

" He's not my best friend. I only hang out with him cause he friends with Thora" he starts "Thora, like my sister if she didn't hang with him I would never even talk to him." He says.

I nod, I sigh and sit next to him. " Then what do we do know?" I ask myself " kill him" Jake suggests.

I shake my head chuckling. I look out the window and see how the clouds turn darker and the sound of thunder is coming.

The weather is crying for Elara to. It's weeping at her sadness, and soon the anger will start showing just like Elara the earth is mad.

I've always thought of Elara as part of the Earth, as a gift from god to me cause she has been my savior in everything.

Yet, every time she hurts she never exactly wants to show me cause she doesn't want me to worry for her. Yet I just makes me worry even more when she dose that cause she won't tell me what going on.

" Hey" I hear Jake say I turn to him and face him, his eyes softer then before " I promise she will be okay" he says cupping my face with his hands and kisses my forehead.

I close my eyes and lean into his touch with a soft smile playing on my lips. He lets go and I nod. He stays looking at me with an unreadable expression.

I can't hold the eye contact anymore and look away fiddling will my necklace. A gust of wind flows though my window and I get goosebumps Jake takes out his phone and starts looking through insta while laying his back in my bed.

I get up and get a sweater. " Jake?" I ask.

He looks up from his phone " Yeah?" He asks I turn to him " you wanna stay for dinner? My mom said she was going to bring pizza when she gets home from work" I ask him hopefully.

His eyes widen and he smiles e shakes his head " I would like that, but I have to go home and take care of my lil sister" he says.

I make an o shape with my mouth and nod feeling disappointed. " oh, okay then." I say sitting on my desk chair.

He nods blowing air into his cheeks then letting the air out. He looking off into the distance zoning out and I pucker my lips not knowing what to say.

As the room gets quiet with only the tv playing in the background. I sigh and spin in a circle on the chair.

Life sucks for real.

Jake soon get up " I needa head out, gotta go pick my sister up from school" I look at him confused " but it's the weekend, why she at school?" I ask.

He looks at me then shrugs " her school is different" I nod I look at the time it's 4:30 in the afternoon " hey, you think I could go with you?" I ask.

He looks at me surprised " Really you wanna come?" He asks smiling, I nod with a smile.

" of course, why would I not wanna meet your sister." I straight smiling, he grins and nods for me to clim out the window with him. I quickly hop out and pull my hood up cause I know I will rain as we walk over there.
