"I...I..uh..am straight " came out my stutter. Gee Es can you be more embarrassing,I scolded mentally.


"Oh yeah,then why does your heart beat so fast around me" Athena whispered in my ear sending shivers straight to my core.

I kept biting my lower lip, holding my breath,wishing the ground could open up and swallow me whole.

"This is going to be fun" I heard Athena mutter under her breath as she walked away from me.

Reaching Out To You

"How is she Marina?" Athena asked her doctor 


Hestia's family was down in the lobby, her sister Artemis sobbed quietly into her mother's shoulders. They still hadn't been allowed to see Hestia,the doctors were trying to stitch up her cuts. They couldn't do a thing about her acid burn except trying to ease the pain,flashing with cold water and she was given some naproxen. They tried peeling off the damaged skin but it proved to cause more harm 


"I won't lie to you Athy the acid burn was to the subcutaneous layer,a full thickness injury. If it happens she wants a new skin we can do grafting. If not,then the it will heal but will a permanent scar across her right arm, her chin and her abdomen. She also might be temporarily blind but we still have to monitor her for any changes. I'm really sorry" Dr Roberts said 


Athena felt her whole world turning upside down,her stomach caught in knots as it churned. Her heart felt heavy in her chest.
