New Horizon

Chapter 27

"Athena, are you ok?" I asked in concern for my girlfriend
"N-No, h-help please..." Athena said having her face in her knees
"What's wrong?" I ask
"A-Anxiety a-attack. H-Help now pl-please." Athena Said sounding like she was about to cry
"Hey. Listen I'm here for you right now ok? Take deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth." I say hugging her tightly
"M-Mhm." Is the only thing Athena could mumble out

As the minutes passed it seemed like her anxiety attack got better.... or so I thought

"Hey, are you ok?" I ask pulling away from the hug
"Y-Yeah." Athena Said
"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask
"Yeah. I'm just stressed about tour and school you know? Yeah, I'm doing good right now but this is the last test that we have until we move up to our new year." Athena Said with a cracking voice
"Yeah. I understand. You'll ace your test I know you will." I say with a reassurance smile and voice
"Thanks. But what if I-I don't y-you kn-know? L-Like- fuck I'm s-sorry." Athena said breaking down
"Hey no it's ok just let it out. Stay here I'll get you an ice pack. I'll be right back ok?" I say
"M-mhm." Was the only thing Athena could mutter while sobbing in her arms

I didn't know an anxiety attack could lead to her having a break down... maybe she over worked herself? Shit that's bad.

I walk into the room with Athena looking around and taking deep breaths

"Mei... oranges....strawberries...." Athena Said
"I'm here, do you want those things?" I ask putting the ice pack on her back
"N-No I was just grounding myself." Athena Said holding the ice pack while blushing
"Oh ok. Is there anything else you need?" I ask worried
"N-No. You can go and study I'll just stay here until it passes." Athena Said
"No. I'm staying with you." I say holding her hand
"Th-Thanks." Athena Said tightening the grip

As a few more minutes passed Athena's breathing became more lighter and she seemed to have stopped crying.

"You all better?" I ask
"Y-Yeah. Thanks." Athena Said taking the ice pack off
"Here I'll take that." I say taking the ice pack from her
"Thanks." Athena Said
"Mhm." I say putting the ice pack back in the freezer

I walk back into the room to hear Athena in the bathroom with running water.

"Hey you ok?" I ask seeing her splash cold water on her face
"Yeah I'm good just need cold water to stop me from crying again." Athena Said
"Oh ok. Well I'm going to take a bath, want to come with?" I ask
"That'd be great." Athena Said smiling

As we were in the bath I was behind Athena while she was thinking about something.

"Athena." I call with no response

I wrapped my arms around her waist and kiss her on her neck finally getting her attention.

"M-Mei I told you that's my sensitive spot." Athena Said blushing
"I know that's why I did it. What were you thinking about?" I ask
"Nothing just tour." Athena Said
"Stop thinking about that for now let's just enjoy this moment together." I say as Athena turned around to look into my eyes
"Heh, ok Mei." Athena Said kissing me

Few weeks later

"FUCK YEAH, SUMMER TIME BITCHES AHHH!" I say
"FUCK YEAH!" Avery said with a bright smile on her face
"Language." A cold voice said in the background
"Come on president. It's the last day, we all passed I think you should loosen up a bit." Avery said
"Yeah, Mei I think you should." I say smiling
"...fine." Mei Said
"Aye got dem." I say laughing
"Yeah yeah. Come on let's go to the arcade or something." Avery said dragging me
"O-Oh ok. See ya Mei!" I say trying not to loose my balance

Jeez I almost fell on my ass.

"Nothing good can ever come from Athena." Layla said
"Why do you say that?" I ask
"Because Avery is actually a good student, while Avery isn't. She doesn't take her studies seriously and always goofs or doodles in class." Layla said
"Yes she does but she still managed to pass top ten." I say
"T-Top ten?! She probably rigged it." Layla said with venom in her voice
"No she didn't. Nor did she cheat." I say coldly
"Just saying Mei. Anyways, what are you doing over the summer?" Layla asked
"Nothing much probably just stay home with Athena and go out on some dates." I say

Like hell. We're going on tour! I'm so exited I've never been to England before.

"Oh ok, can we hang out sometime?" Layla asked
"Sure." I say
"Great! Want to hang out now?" Layla asked
"Sure got nothing better to do." I say
"Ok, let's go to the mall." Layla said dragging me to her car
"Ok." I say

"Aye so what are you doing this summer?" I ask
"Hmm, I don't know. Want to hang with me?" Avery asked
"Ah shoot sorry man. I'd love too but we only have a week to hang out before I go on tour with Mei." I say
"Awh, that's ok. We'll make the most of it. Also, how are you and the ice queen huh?" Avery asked taking out a graphic t-shirt
"We're doin' ight, how are you and Julia?" I ask
"Um we-we're doing great! She's really cool and nice to hang out with." Avery said with a blush
"Looks like you found love~" I say grinning
"Sh-Shut up!" Avery said punching my arm
"Haha ok ok damn, don't got to punch me." I say
"Hey look it's the ice queen and annoying brat." Avery said
"Ugh shoot me please. The VP hates me. And I don't know why." I say
"Probably because you humiliated her in front of the whole school, haha." Avery said
"Haha, Yeah probably. Ahhh that's day was fun." I say smirking
"I'm glad you liked your first day." A cold voice said
"M-Mei! Um hi. Where did you come from?!" I ask
"From school. I though you were going to the arcade." Mei Said with no emotion
"Um, we will after Avery finishes shopping." I say pointing at her
"Yup." Avery said backing me up
"Ok." Mei Said
"Athena, can I talk to you real quick?" Layla said
"Sure." I say following her to the back of the store
"So, what you want to talk about?" I ask
"So I heard that your going to be spending most of your time with Mei. Am I correct?" Layla asked pissed
"I don't know is it?" I say trying to piss her off
"Don't act smart, delinquent! But if you are spending time with Mei, watch your back. She's mine." Layla said in my ear then walking back to Mei

Too bad brat. She's mine I've already made sure of that a long time ago. Plus you won't be seeing much of her because we're goin' on tour bitch. So try making her yours. I'd love to see you try and fail.
