Athena's pov
*Her dream*
Happiness. Love. Freedom. All three of these emotions represent exactly how I feel right now. I'm in a field of flowers. This field could probably go on for miles and miles on end.I look down and see I'm wearing a white dress that ends right above my knees. I feel at peace. I don't feel pain anymore. I continue walking till I see 2 figures in the distance. I walk closer till I get close enough to recognize them.
" Mom?"
" Yes, Athena?"
" Did you remember that my birthday is tomorrow?"
" Of course, and so does your father."The biggest smile went across her face, causing me to smile.
" Does baby sister know to?" The little girl asks as she points to the woman's stomach.
" Yes sweetheart." She says smiling, tucking the girls hair behind her earThe woman was beautiful, and the little girl looked exactly like the her. They both have long black hair and light tan skin. The mom had green eyes, but the little girl had very dark brown eyes that almost seemed black.
I know them; it's me and my mother, the day before my 13th birthday. The day my life ended.
*dream ends*
I slowly open my eyes; I didn't even mean to fall asleep. I get up and walk towards my closet. I get out a pair of sweatpants, a black tank top, a bra, and underwear. I walk to the bathroom and lock the door behind me. I undress and look at myself in the mirror. I look at my body and see all the scars and bruises.
" Disgusting." I whisper as I look at myself.
I want to break the fucking mirror.I walk in the shower and let the cold water hit me. I know it's weird showering in cold water, but it makes my body feel better. I finish washing my hair and my body, but I don't wanna leave.
I slowly let my body drop to the floor. I sit on the floor, with my knees up to my chest, and my arms wrap around them. I lay my head on my arms, and I just sit there. I want tears to come out, but nothing comes out.
Even after everything I've been through, I still believe I have something to live for; that my life isn't going to be this cycle anymore.
I don't know what makes me think this, but it's always been in the back of my head. I don't know when it would happen, but I know it will happen. I know my life won't just be this forever.
I finally get the strength to get out of the shower. I turn off the water and get out. I put my clothes on and dry my hair. My hair goes all the way down to my waist. Some people think having long hair is hard to handle, but it really isn't. I brush my teeth and brush my hair.
I unlock the door and leave the bathroom. I put the dirty clothes in the hamper; I'll clean them tomorrow. I walk to the bed and lay down. I close my eyes in hopes of continuing the dream I had earlier.
