HEARTBREAK ANTHEM | LOGAN SARGEANT

RED BULL GIVES YOU WINGS

"NO FUCKING WAY." ATHENA hissed as she looked at the video her brother was showing her. "Pleaseeeeeeeee—" He dragged out in a super high pitched voice. Athena shoved his face away, "The answer is no."

Aiden groaned, "Your so boring!" His sister scoffed, "Aiden, your asking me to jump out of a moving plane! You know how terrified I am of heights."

"You'll survive!"

"I don't care!"

"You're so boring." Aiden huffed as he continued to scroll away on his phone. Athena on the other hand was biting her nails anxiously. Today she would be filming her first take for ATLAS' music video.

The guy that had been hired to play her love interest was still not here and she was beginning to think he chicken out last minute.

"Athena Song. If you bite your nails one more time, I'm throwing away your comic collection!" Aiden hated when people bit their nails. It was the easiest way to piss him off. "Aiden, leave her alone." Logan butted in. "She's clearly anxious and if biting her nails is helping her then leave her be."

"You're enabling unhealthy habits."

"You literally just drank three cans of Red Bull in less than an hour."

"Red Bull gives you wings." Aiden sang out but did eventually leave Athena alone. Logan watched as Athena's eyes jumped from her phone to the door. Lily couldn't make it to the shoot today because her flight got canceled and usually she'd be the one to help calm her nerves.

"Want me to go see where your manager is?" Logan gave her a comforting smile. Athena shook her head. "It's okay, I'm sure we'll start recording soon."

Logan watched her carefully, examining the way she bounced her leg repeatedly. "Have you eaten?" Athena paused, Have I ate today? "I take your silence as a 'no'." Athena let out a soft laugh and watched as Logan got up from the couch across from her. "Let's get you something to eat. You look like you could use some fresh air."

Athena nodded, definitely needed to get out of her dressing room. The walls felt like they were about to close in on her and it wasn't helping th impeding panic attack that she could feel worming it's way in.

Logan helped pull her up from her chair as they walked towards the door. Aiden pulled an insulted face as they left. "They didn't even ask if I wanted to come!" He would have gotten up to follow but he was too lazy and instead stayed put.

"

ATHENA THE POLE!" Logan screeched in terror as Athena swerved the golf cart out of the way just in time. She slowly stoped just near the food truck that had been hired for the day. Logan released a sigh of relief and immediately got out. He knelt down and gave the ground a kiss and Athena cringed. "That is so unsanitary."

"I don't care about germs right now, I nearly died!" Athena rolled her eyes, "And here I thought you were the normal one—" Logan gave her an insulted look. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"That your just as dramatic as Aiden." Logan shook his head, "No one is as dramatic as Aiden." Athena let out a laugh as they walked towards the food truck.

They ordered their food and went to go sit in the cart once they received it. They sat in silence for a few moments before Logan finally decided to ask the question that had been on his mind.

"Why have you been so freaked out lately?" Athena paused for a moment, swallowing the rest of her food that was in her mouth. "I don't even know." Her voice cracked slightly.

Logan nodded as he listened intently. "When Charles dumped me last year, my whole reality shattered—I felt like the fast few years of my life was a lie."

"I used to hate going to sleep because I suffered with insomnia and for what ever reason, Charles used to get me to sleep so easily when he was home—I don't know if it was the comfort of having someone there or if it was his presence but I could actually sleep."

Athena let out a sigh, "But ever since we broke up I just can't seem to sleep." She placed her food on her lap and ran her hands over her face. "I can't do anything without thinking about him and it's driving me crazy."

"I feel like I'll never be loved by someone like that again. Like I'm not worthy of being loved." Logan removed her hands from her face and rubbed his tumb against the back of her hand. "Athena," She looked at him hesitantly and Logan felt his expression soften. "It's okay to miss him." She nodded.

"It's okay to mourn the relationship you lost." She tried her hardest to swallow the lump in her throat. "But one day your going to find someone who will love you more than anything in this world. He will take care of you and piece you back together." She nodded wiping away a stray tear that fell, "Athena you are worthy of love. I promise."

She let out a sob at his words and Logan pulled her in for a hug. He half expected her to push him away but he was surprised at how accepting she was of it. Athena squeezed the life out of Logan but he didn't seem to mind. Apart of Logan needed this hug just as much as Athena did.

Athena then felt shuffling behind her and heard the sound keys being pulled from the cart. "Did you just take the keys out of cart?"

"I was hoping you weren't going to notice."
