Jean's P.O.V

I went outside earlier than before, If you still haven't noticed, I am going to school at 5:40 AM in the morning, 'WHAAAT? IT IS TOOOO EARLY!' Yeah, I hear you, but at this time of the day, Athena is already there, using her cellphone, just like everytime.

I got on the jeep and felt my phone vibrate, I wonder who this is.

Rob: Hey, I know that It is very hard for you to forgive Lisa, after everything she's done to you and to other people, she decided to throw her remaining charm away.

I know, we went through all the trouble to protect her from the people who judged her, yet, she just left without a second word.

Rob: Look, maybe she didn't say anything so that you wouldn't try to stop her from leaving the school.

Yeah, I guess, but after we defended her from everyone, she completely gave up and gave herself away to some stranger with a girlfriend.

Rob: oh my god, are you,serious? That honestly sucks, she wasted all the efforts all of you gave just for people to stop judging her and then she immediately slept with another dude with a girlfriend, wait, what about her, I thought she's with Jack now?

She is..

Rob: Oh my god, well, gotta go, have a safe trip, I love you.

I love you too

And with that, I looked up and saw that I'm already infront of the school

I got out of the jeep and went straight to our classroom, first time that Lisa is not gonna be here hm..

I opened the door and heard someone typing, yup, Athena, I searched around the room amd saw her at the corner, behind one of the chairs.

I look at her face and saw that she's been crying.

"Athena.." I went towards her and hugged her, I slowly brushed her hair.

"I'm sorry If I can't stop my tears right now, I swear I tried to be strong infront of all of you, I tried, But right now, I just can't"

I hug her tighter, "DON'T fvck!ng say that! I don't think of you less just because you're crying, remember, you witnessed me before, I know how it feels, you feel like you're weak, but in reality, you just care too much" I can't let her feel like crap just because of tears.

"It's just that, I felt empty inside when I got up and ate breakfast, I felt a piece of my heart fall and shatter knowing that one of my best friend isn't gonna be here anymore, she's been with me everytime I got to school, no matter how early I was, she's gonna come 5 minutes later, we would eat our breakfast together downstairs, we would do our makeup, we would comfort each other when we see that one of us is having a hard time!" Athena is pouring her heart out and I just felt so guilty for not being here earlier, I KNOW she needs someone right now, she's never been like this.

No matter what she says, even if she says something like 'I don't wanna talk about it', I KNOW that she's lying.

"Look, let's go downstairs and just relax, buy something, maybe a Croissant and then drink soda" I offered

"sure, I'll eat but I won't drink soda for now, I've been 2 months clean from soda, I brought 1 tea bag though, It's cherry, stawberry, and raspberry flavor" she said, I don't mind, it's for her health.

Before, she's been binging on soda, coffe, or wine when she's stressed, so Tea is good.

Coffee makes her vomit because of acidity, she's been making wine her sleeping pills, and Soda makes her very full and dizzy.

She's been working on her Wine and coffee problems.

We went downstairs.

I looked at her while trying to take my wallet out of my pocket

After buying what we're gonna eat, we went and sat on one of the chairs and put our wallets on the table.

" So, are you okay?" she asked

"I'm stressed out, Girl, last night, all I did was use and refill my vape" I answered honestly.

"I was so lucky last night, though" she said, hmmm

"Why is that?"

"I was so stressed, I searched my fridge, I had no wine left, so I didn't got to drink last night, I am happy, If I had a bottle of wine, I would have drank the whole bottle" She answered, looking happy and fulfilled.

I am obviously proud, but..... I looked at her face and arms.

They look atleast a little bit skinnier than before, she's been losing and gaining weight this past few months.

"So! How are you and Rob?" She asked, making me snap out of my thoughts.

"I am so happy I got to meet him, or, well, 'chat' with him, he is the sweetest, I don't care what he may look like in person, aslong as he makes me feel loved and important, that's enought for me" I answered with a big smile on my face.
