"I just don't want him to get hurt. Is that too much to ask?" Her voice cracks at the end of her sentence. I walk up to her and grab just below her chin. I pull her face towards mine, to the point where I can see every pore on her face. "Is it too much to ask for you not to talk during this trip? That is what I want, and that is what I will get, even if I have to sew your mouth shut." As soon as I finished talking I regreted what I said. I could see the fear in her eyes as I kept her face in my hand. "Let her go." I had forgotten that Johnny was there. I look at Athena's eyes and see tears forming. As one single tear drops from her eye, I let go. She backs up, and little whimpers escaped her mouth. I coiled back towards myself, and closed my eyes. I had never wanted to be that angry towards someone. "I.....I'm sorry." I look down at my feet and start walking again. I had questions in my mind, and I knew that I didn't want them answered. I don't hear steps behind me, so I turn around. Athena is on the ground, and she is hyperventilating. I walk up to her and Johnny, and I can hear her breaths. Her chest is rising quickly, but falling slowly. I now feel even worse. "Do you see what you did now? Why can't you control your temper?" I feel the words stabbing me, and I already was asking myself the same questions. "I said I'm sorry. I don't know how to control my temper, and I know it affects others. Just.....Just cut me some slack, ok?" I can hear a little sound come from Athena, but I ignored it. I get to my knees and put a hand on her shoulder. "I'm so sorry if I scared you. It's....It's just that I don't know how to control my temper. It's a problem I've always had. Just please calm down, we have to get going." She looks up to me with her eyes all red and puffy. I didn't mean to scare her, I just did. "Can you say please for once? I'd really appreciate it, since you just scared the living SHIT out of me" I got a small smirk on my face and put out my hand. "Please get up, and calm down." She chuckles and takes my hand. "That's it? That's all it takes?" Johnny seemed jealous of my ability to make her forgive me so fast. "Lets walk, shall we?" Athena wipes tears away from her eyes and says "Oh,we shall. Johnny? Are you going to join us?"
