Negan, Lucille and Athena

Chapter 11

Flashback to a few weeks before. Athena has her braces on her legs still.

Athena's POV:

"Mom, Aunt Jadis. I've got a favour to ask. Don't freak out or anything though." Mom, dad and Aunt Jadis were sat at the kitchen table. "Sure what's up honey?" Mom asked. I took a deep breath and said. "Come prom dress shopping with me?" I closed my eyes tight and I know dad did too. Because mom and Aunt Jadis started screaming like two teenage girls. Me and dad just looked at each other and rolled our eyes.

So prom dress shopping was kinda fun. Even mom and Aunt Jadis tried a few dresses on. Then I tried on a beautiful red dress that had a bra fitted in but was like a corset top and a long skirt with diamanté's on the bust area travelling down. "I think I've found my dress." I shouted through the changing room. "Get your ass out here and show us then!" Aunt Jadis shouted back. I limped out because of my braces and well mom and Aunt Jadis's jaws dropped. "That's definitely the one sweetheart." Mom smiled. "You look beautiful." Aunt Jadis said. "Don't get soppy. Prom is next week." I laughed .

A week later:

Mom and Aunt Jadis are doing my hair and makeup. They curled my hair for me. And they helped me into my dress. I couldn't wear heels because of my braces but I had some lovely flat shoes to wear. We walked downstairs and dad was in his suit - since he's a member of staff he's attending prom. He turned around and saw me. "Wow. You look beautiful darling." "Thanks daddy." Mom ended up taking tons of photos. Some with me and dad, some with Aunt Jadis, some with mom etc. Me and dad walked over to the school for prom. Since just about everyone hates me and I don't talk to Carl so I haven't really anyone to socialise with. Me and dad got a photo together on the way in.  My legs began to hurt so I sat down whilst dad went to talk to the other teachers. I saw other people come in. I didn't really want to acknowledge anyone. I felt a panic attack coming. Fuck. I went into the bathroom and let it all out. My chest was really heavy and I couldn't breathe. Some girls came in, including Marnie. "Athena. Are you ok?" She asked. "Don't. Act. Like. You. Care." I gasped. "Regina go get help." Marnie said. "Athena I'm so sorry for being a bitch. None of us should have done all that horrible stuff to you." She pulled me into a hug, which I returned. Regina came back with dad. "Athena are you ok?" He asked panicked. "I just had a panic attack daddy. But Marnie helped me through it." I smiled. We all headed back outside. I danced with Marnie and Regina. I had to sit down though because of my legs. Then the music stopped. A video started playing. There were photos of me on the video. Huh? What's going on? Then there were clips of my classmates. Saying really nice things about me and apologising for the past few years. I had tears in my eyes. Then I saw Carl's part. It broke me to hear him apologising since it's partially his fault why I'm like this. Then the last photo of the whole year group holding a huge sign saying sorry. I was speechless. Everyone told me to go up and say something. I looked up. "Just making sure there isn't a bucket of pigs blood. I've seen Carrie." I laughed as did everyone else. I forgave everyone, except Carl and Enid.

The rest of the night was really fun. Most the teachers were really drunk, including my dad. He danced as well which was so funny. Of course, I did get video and photographic evidence of this. I went in the photo booth with Marnie and the others too.

At the end of prom, I was walking home with dad. Well I say walk, he was stumbling everywhere."daddy can we get home quick? My legs hurt." I asked. Well I wasn't lying. But dad drunkenly stumbled over and scooped me up in his arms. "Don't drop me." I had my arms around his neck. "C-course I won't baby." Dad slurred. I was laughing my head off, dad couldn't walk in a straight line at all. Thankfully as we got to the house, mom opened the door. She didn't even get to say anything before dad stumbled in and he fell on the sofa, which meant I did too. Me and dad left our legs over the back of the sofa and we started having a laughing fit. Mom didn't look so amused. "Wanna explain?" She asked. When I stopped laughing (which was a while) I explained the night to mom. And how dad got pissed and the journey home. She ended up laughing herself. "Oh I got evidence of it all too." I waved my phone. I showed mom and dad the photos and videos and we just laughed like crazy. Tonight I made friends and had a good laugh with my parents. My parents are my everything.

That's chapter 11 guys! Hope you like.
