Love Isn't Always Fair

Band practice no-shows

Athena hadn't heard from CC in a few days. She began to worry that he didn't want to talk to her anymore.

To Lacey: Why hasn't he messaged me back? Oh my god. He hates me. That's it. That has to be it.

Athena couldn't stand the thought of her idol hating her.

To Athena: He doesn't hate you, A. I'm sure he's just exhausted from Warped. Plus, you kept him waiting for 3 weeks. It's been 3 days. You'll survive.

To Lacey: Okay, okay. Good point, I suppose. Ugh. I hear Eric... Gah. I just want to punch somebody in the face. Preferably Eric...

To Athena: Do you need me to come over?

To Lacey: No, I think I'll be alright. I'll just stay in my room until he leaves. If I need you, I'll text you.

Athena put her phone down on the bed and walked over to her open window and pulled out her notebook from under the chair that sat next to it. She looked down at the blank page that sat in front of her. She didn't know what she was going to write, but she just felt she needed to write something.

After a few moments, she decided to write a letter to CC. Other than Eric being downstairs, CC was the only other person on her mind. She decided to tell him about what happened between her and Eric. She doubted she would ever give the letter to CC, but she needed to get her thoughts on paper.

"God, I feel like I'm in that movie [i]'Dear John'[/i] or some shit." Athena said to herself as she wrote.

She started to hear music. At first, she thought her iPod might have started playing in her bag. She went over to check it but it was off.

"Huh." She shrugged and went back to the window.

The music started getting louder and louder. She soon realized that the music was coming from down the street, a few houses down. It almost sounded like 'Children Surrender' by Black Veil Brides.

Athena decided she had to go see what was going on. She opened the door of her room and checked the hallway for signs of Eric. All clear. She slipped out of her room and into the hallway. She took a few steps before a hand was placed on her shoulder. She slowly turned around. At the sight of Jane, she immediately relaxed.

"Hey, where are you going?" Jane asked.

"Uh, nowhere. I thought I heard music coming from down the street and I wanted to check it out." Athena admitted.

"Oh. Well, it's probably just a house party or something. You know Joey always has those."

Joey being one of their college neighbors down the street.

"Yeah, I was just-"

"So why do you hate Eric?" Jane cut her off. "Is there something you aren't telling me, Athena?"

"N-No. I don't know what you're t-talking about."

"Yeah, okay. Cause I'm really going to believe you after you stuttered like that."

Athena looked down at the floor.

"Anyway," Jane continued, "You know you can tell me what's going on, okay? Tell me when you're ready. Promise?"

Athena nodded sullenly.

"Okay. Well, for the meantime, why don't you hang out with us? Maybe you and Eric can bond a little. We were going to watch 21 Jump Street'. I know you love that movie. And Channing Tatum."

Athena laughed a little. She did love herself some Channing Tatum, admittedly.

"Eric does, too." Jane said.

"Eric loves Channing Tatum?" Athena giggled.

"No, I meant he loves the movie, you idiot." Jane laughed along with her sister. "Maybe you two can bond over it. 'Fairy dust, motherfucker!'" Jane quoted and made Athena laugh even more.

Athena really did like the movie but being in the same room as Eric made her uncomfortable.

"Okay..." Athena finally said. "I can't resist the fairy dust." They both laughed again. "As long as I sit on the opposite side of the couch as Eric."

"CC. Remind me why we're doing this, again..." Andy said as he opened the garage door.

"We're practicing for the gig!" CC said.

"But why couldn't we have just rehearsed at the studio?" Jake complained.

"Because, then I would have had to lug all my drum stuff to the studio. Besides, it's kind of fun to rehearse in the garage like old times when we were teenagers and our bands were just getting off the ground."

"I agree with CC." Jinxx said. "Let's practice and just have fun with it."

They played through two songs and nothing happened. CC had hoped that the sound of the band practicing would lure Athena out of her house so he could see her again and she would see that they live near each other. Two hours, six songs, and four angry neighbor fights later, rehearsal was over and Athena never showed up.
