The Short Love Between Jean and Rob

Storm (Athena Chapter)

Athena's P.O.V

East Of Eden by Zella day is playing at the backround.

Pink toes pressed against the carpet
Show your face and finish what you started
The record spins down the alley late night
Be my friend, surround me like a satellite

A glass of wine in my right hand and my left hand resting on my head.

Tiger on the prowl
East of Eden
Coming for you now

It's been a stressful day, Gilbert, family, friends, drama, school...I don't know if I could keep up.

Keep me from the cages under the control
Running in the dark to find East of Eden
Keep me from the cages under the control
Running in the dark to find East of Eden

I feel my chest tighten up a little bit, my stomach feels like it's doing some backflips.
My Anxiety is killing me, along with my Depression.

To find East of Eden (oh oh oh)
To find East of Eden (oh oh oh oooh ooh)
To find East of Eden (oh oh oh)
To find East of Eden (oh oh oh oooooooooh)

I

stare at the speaker that I used to play music, the song has been done for a couple of seconds now, so I decided to change the song..

Sweet Ophelia by Zella Day
I am in for a treat..

Believe me now you're too young girl
Cherry pie with your gold curls
Growin' up like a grapevine
Wrapped around you in due time

I started to kinda dance around casually with the glass of wine on my hand, carefully spinning to avoid from spilling it.

O-woah O-woah O-woah O-woah

I was slowly doing a tip toe move, waiting for the chorus.

Sweet Ophelia,
When young blood escapes
Vows that break
Go up, up away
Sweet Ophelia,
When young blood escapes
Vows that break
Go up, up away

Up, up away
Up, up away

I started to let my hair loose and started to dance around, the alcohol was getting to me.

Singing like it's a full moon (Singing like it's a full moon)
Careless now that he has you (Careless now that he has you)
Turns you on to the right songs (Turns you on to the right songs)
Promises that you're hooked on (Promises that you're hooked on)

I started to slowly hum the tune, I already emptied the glass and just placed it at a table.

O-woah O-woah O-woah O-woah

The storm outside was getting stronger, the tree branches near my window is lightly smacking the glass.

Sweet Ophelia,
When young blood escapes
Vows that break
Go up, up away
Sweet Ophelia,
When young blood escapes
Vows that break
Go up, up away

I started to sing with the song and just do all this 'Lyrical dancing' type of dance by myself.
Soon enough, we reach the end of the song.

I was just breathing in and out and slowly got down to my knees and feel the overwhelming sadness and loneliness show themselves.

I Slowly have a mental and emotional breakdown.

I slowly wiped away some tears and got up, I open my fridge and saw the bottle of wine.

I drank some more amd slowly felt myself getting sleepy.

I lay down in bed and just stared at the wall until my lids decided to give up on me and let me sleep.

I didn't even wanna eat because I know that my family would bring up some past issues with me and ruin breakfast, lunch, and dinner for me.

That's why I'm always at the mall, I became a reckless spender because every birthday since I became 10 years old, I never really got anything, not even money.

So I vowed that the moment I get money, I'll use it to buy things for myself and things that makes me happy and forget my Depression.

After a while, It became 'Therapy' for me and soon enough before you know it, an addiction.
