Regret. It was the only thing Athena could feel as she looked up at Gerard who was standing in the doorway, drenched because of the rain. After all the hurtful words had been said, harmful actions had taken place, all they could do was stare at each other.

Gerard placed his hand on her neck, fingers gliding across the bites and hickeys. Athena hands were in his hair, looking at what Ray done to him. Black eye, broken nose, split lip, and bruises in the shapes of finger prints scattering his neck and throat.

"I never got over you." He whispered, now cupping her cheek. His lips were now on hers, and Athena didn't pull away. She couldn't find a reason to. She wanted this to happen as much as he did, she wanted to make this work. Make them work. Ray had went home, and Bert was stuck at work. No one saw them as Gerard pushed her further into the house and picked her up, carrying her to the couch as he made his own set of bites and hickeys in the opposite side of her pale neck. "You're beautiful."

"Gerard." Athena let out a moan, gripping his shoulders as he sat her on the couch. "I want to do this, I really do, but I can't." She whispered, gripping his long locks of black hair.

"Why not?" He whispered, sucking a hickey onto her shoulder. "I'll leave Lindsay for you."

"N-no." She tugged on his hair, causing him to pull away. "Gerard, I'm with Ray now. I'm not leaving him for you." She stood, running her slim fingers through her hair. "I'm sorry."

That's all they seemed to do anymore. Apologize.

"He's using you, Athena!" Gerard rose his voice. "He's best friends with Floris! He told him that you consented to the sex, so Ray's using you!"

"Get out, Gerard." Athena glared, tears running down her cheeks. "Get out!" She shouted. Gerard rolled his eyes and left, slamming the door.

But Athena still wanted him.

"Is that all?" The pharmacist smiled as she scanned the Plan B and 2 pregnancy tests. Athena swallowed the lump in her throat and nodded, paying.

"Thank you." She mumbled and grabbed the bag, walking out. She got into Ray's car, using his drink to take the meds.

"I really fuckin' hope this works."

Ray and Athena were later sitting in his living room, watching a movie. Ray's hand was placed firmly on her thigh, massaging it gently. As they continued to sit, his hand began to creep up her thigh, getting closer to her core. He had been drinking, but she didn't know how drunk he was.

She looked to Ray, her lips pressed close tightly as she thought about what Gerard said. She took his hand, moving down her leg to rest on her knee. He sighed and moved it back to its original position. He earned an unamused look from Athena because of his actions.

"You let me do it before." He mumbled. Athena sighed and took his hand, pulling it so his arm was around her as she moved onto his lap, facing him. Ray smiled a bit and kissed her, holding her waist.

After a few seconds, the kiss got heated. Ray carefully pulled off her shirt and stared as her rising and falling chest. Athen huffed and looked away. "Ray... Don't stare." She mumbled, then gasped as she felt a pair of hands on her chest, which was only covered by her bra. She let out a soft moan as he massaged her chest. He reached back to unclip her bra. She laid her head on his shoulder. "Stop... I don't want this..." She reached for her shirt, but Ray grabbed both of her hands with one of his.

"You're fine." He mumbled, unbuttoning his pants. She pulled her hands out if his and pushed him back.

"Ray. I don't want to." Athena said, trying to get off of his lap. He held her waist tight, squeezing hard on her hips. She pulled herself off of him with as much force as she could.

"Get back here." Ray said, grabbing one if her wrists tightly. She cried out in pain, pulling harshly. His grip was too tight, making it almost impossible to wrench her hand from his grip.

"Ray, stop!" She shouted. Before she could even react, Ray's hand came up and struck her cheek. His fingers were slightly curved, his nails hitting hard.

"Dumb bitch." He said, throwing her down. Tears brimmed her eyes, threatening to spill.

"How could you?" She whispered, standing. She grabbed her shirt and ran to the front door, pulling her shoes on roughly. She ran out of the house. Ray went to the door, yelling for her to come back, but going back in when she was out of sight.

After putting her shirt on, she reached into her pocket, grabbing her phone and turning it on. She went into her emergency contacts and typed in Frank's number, calling him immediately.

After only a couple rings he answered.

"Athena? What's up?" He answered hurriedly, but tiredly. He had obviously just woken up. Athena quickly explained what happened and that she needed him to pick her up. "I'll be there in 5 minutes. Don't move." He said, hanging up.

She stood there for just around 4 minutes before Frank's all to familiar car pulled up. He rolled the window down and told her to get into the car. She obeyed, pulling the door open roughly.

"What the hell happened?" Frank asked as they drove in the direction of her house. She sighed bringing her knees back to her chest.

"Frank, I don't want to talk about it right now please." She answered, burying her head into her knees. He nodded, setting one hand on her back.

As they pulled up to her house she leaned over and kissed his cheek lightly. He smiled as she climbed out, running into her house.

As soon as she reached her bedroom she collapsed onto the bed in tears. She felt her face begin to bruise, she was just to scared to look in the mirror and see how bad it had really gotten.

She picked up her phone and opened Gerard's contact, sending a message.

I'm sorry.
