And there i was standing over his limp body "WAKE UP!"I cried with what was left with my energy."Can't you do something

?!I asked the paramedic pulling me away from him."Yes ma'am, but you need to stay back.""I watched his stomach slowly rise and fall, rise and fall, rise and fall, as I held back the new set of tears about to burst from my eyes.This was all my fault.What have I done I yelled to myself.Then I walked to the chaperone and I finally said"I-it doesn't look too good.""Oh, sweetheart there is nothing you could have done, just let the doctor fix him up good as new."she said scratching my back softly with her nails.
We just stood there for a while and I finally said "I just want to go home."She sighed and pulled out her keys."We best start heading to the hospital so you can see him."I nodded and slowly opened the door to her Honda Civic.I got in and carefully put on my seatbelt.I sat my head back and fell into a deep sleep as we headed to see well,him

FIVE DAYS EARLIER.I boarded the plane and saw him, my best friend and newly ex boyfriend.I looked at my ticket showing that I sat right next to him."Fuck.My.Life."I murmured to myself.I walked slowly over to him and sat down not looking at him."..um hi Athena"he said shyly."Hi perc."I said simply.Percy was his first name and I loved it.I watched as he raised him arm to get the stewardess' attention , god did he have a muscular arm. Sky was 6 2" and tanned by lacrosse and football.He had short jet black hair with sky blue eyes I could just swim in and always found myself lost in he was just perfect all in all.
He had a perfect set of pearly white teeth and a bone structure god-like.I look like a pile of crap next to him.Anyway the stewardess walked over to us , she was unusually thin with olive skin,auburn hair and a toothy grin.She looked at him like he was steak and she was a starving dog.Uh , gross!"How may I help you Hun?""Uh hi when do you start selling food and drinks?"he said with a childish look on his face.She chuckled and replied "Ten minutes after we get off the ground, but I'll see if we can get it for you early." she flirted."Oh, no need i was just wondering."he said quickly.
"Okay Hun just let me know if you need ,anything.."she replied slyly and walked away.I rolled my eyes and pulled out a book.He looked at me and said "She was nice,really unusual, but ,nice."I rolled my eyes and couldn't help but just laugh.
Chapter Two Percys' Point of Veiw

I looked at her, she was beautiful,she was 5 8" with naturally tanned skin and a bone structure to die for. She had jet black hair with a hair cut that framed her perfect face and eyes as blue as the ocean,she is and will always be my dream girl. "Why are you laughing?"I asked innocently."She was looking at you like lemonade on a hot day!"she laughed."Oh.."I said quietly "I didn't notice.""Whatever." she said getting annoyed.I tried to say something quickly to keep her talking to me and ended up saying "frumppies!"I said with a weird British accent Athena busted out laughing and said "We're not going to England, just Washington D.C."she snapped.Oh fuck my life i'm trying to get her back and that's the best I could do! "I know ha ha it's just a funny word and tried to make it less awkward."I said trying to cover my ass from that stupid word."Oh,sorry,I just thought it was funny and by the way good job on the less awkward part"she said obviously sarcastically.
I cleared my throat and she quickly looked at me and said "Can I ask you something?""Yeah,yeah go ahead , anything.""Can you get up so I can go to the bathroom?"she laughed.I slumped back in my chair and sighed."Yeah."
Chapter Three Athena's Point of View

I had to get away I felt like I was being suffocated the rest of the flight.Oh and as usual it was awkward and well even more awkward.As we were in the airport i stopped to tie my shoe and once I was done I kept walking looking down and bumped smack dab in Percys' muscly beautiful chest and fell right on my ass."OMYGOSH I'M SO SORRY!"I said quickly and panicked.He just laughed helped me up and said"If you wanted to feel my abs you could've just asked!"he joked "Right..next time I'll be sure to do that."I said sarcastically "Anyway i came back to tell you I found someone your going to love."he said.What did he mean like his new girlfriend?How could he move on so damn quickly?!Then up came running my best friend in the whole wide world........."MARIE!!We ran slo-mo into a hug.I've known Marie since we were on the same soccer team in Kindergarten.She is half black and porterican and half white-Italian she is 5 6" with hair black as night with a SHITLOAD of curls right at her shoulders she has a beautiful latte face with naturally arched and trimmed eyebrows and perfect lips.We caught up with each other and talked about our flights.Now we are on a bus taking us to the nearest hotel."So how are things with you and Perc?""AWKWARD."I simply said."
"Oh gosh!Now that means you guys are going to be awkward with me there and you know me I can't handle that i'm ....." she rambled on as I snuggled into my blanket.I tried to start getting my "beauty rest" as Marie would say.We finally arrived at the hotel and our chaperone Mrs.Romanio gave us the "No boys in the girls rooms and vise verse"speech.God sometimes this woman could be dull be she is one of the most the sweetest adults you would ever meet.We got our room keys and naturally Marie and I were in the same room.We went in and I fell on the bed dramatically and she was jumping on hers.I could never figure out how she had so much energy!We both got into our jammies and they were same theme pj's mine were Sponge Bob and hers were Patrick's ,god we're dorks.
I heard a knock on the door and hesitated.I didn't really want anyone looking at me in a kids cartoon covered footsie!But I gathered courage and answered it.Of course it was Percy!"Hello."I said nonchalantly."I need to talk to you."he said with a frown on his face."Yes?"I said hopefully with more confidence then I felt."I don't want things between us to be awkward this whole trip-""Look,i'm here to learn about our nations capitol not discuss my relationships."I interjected."I get it just know you're my first and only

love."he said after a while.He walked back to his room which was just my luck right across from mine.

He is such a GUY!

Marie's' P.O.V.

Why don't they just kiss already!They are obvi madly in LOVE.Plus there is so much sexual tension in that mofo relationship!

Athena's' P.O.V.

God please please please let me forget him and him do the same for me!I love him but he CHEATED on me with that skank Kayln McBain!Oh sorry God I said skank in my prayer I don't think we can do that or we will go to hell... wait can you say hell?Oh fuck I don't know!Shit I said fuck damn it I said shit.O.K. I give up sorry for cussing in my weird first prayer to you!Anyway he is my best friend but I don't know if we can maintain that.Anyway well Amen God,uh,you rock?I guess.
I woke up to the sound of waterfalls on Marie's' white noise machine god how could that help her get to sleep it was insentience noise.I then woke Marie up and we both got dressed.We were going to the white house today to get a tour maybe even see president Obama he probably went with Michelle Obama for another vacation.Anyway once we got there Mrs.Romanio gave us the two pairs of buddies system speech and we were headed in.But something caught Marie and I's eyes.It was a dog.A small dog like Toto from the Wizard of Oz. Marie and I ran up to it and checked it's collar.
"Aww his name is Rascal!,whose dog is this?"Marie asked."I don't know read the name below I think that's the owner."Marie read it and it said DEMETRY SULLIVAN CALL NUMBER 555-012 IF LOST AND FOUND.But as soon as I pulled out my phone a GORGEOUS man ran up to us with my luck no shirt on."Hey Rasc did these girls hurt you?"he said petting the dog."We didn't hurt him we just petted him and you should keep a better eye on your dog."I said"No you actually kept a good eye on him ha ha"Marie said hitting me.
"Well thanks i'm Demetry and you are?""Marie"she said holding her hand out."Athena."I said as I shook his hand."Wow goddess of wisdom came down to earth just to tell me to watch my dog?"he joked."That's what my mom named me after but are you so conceited as to think if I was I would come down here for you?"I snapped."Whoa goddess of wisdom has an attitude."he laughed"I do not!"I yelled
Marie punched on my arm and Demetry and I gave her a W.T.F. look and she quickly said"Muscle spasm haha" We all laughed but my arm still really hurt!"Athena?!Marie!?"yelled Percy and Quinton (Marie's Boyfriend since 7th grade) came running toward us."oh hi guys"I said.Marie ran and hugged Quinton and said "Missed you babe""I've only been gone for ten minutes " he laughed.""I know I just missed you heehee."I pretended to gag and she said"Don't make me have another muscle spasm on you!"she laughed.
Quinton and Percy had a confused look at Demetry and so I said "This is Demetry , Demetry this is Percy and Quinton.
Chapter Five
Demetry looked like a wave a sadness had struck him."Is that your boyfriend?"he asked with forced confidence."No were just friends,best

friends."he smirked"Oh cool you just seem like you like each other."I immediately blushed and Percy had a big ol' grin on his perfect face."Well we did go out."he said."So that means your single?"he said smoothly."I am, but not looking."I said"Okay...well nice to meet you but we gotta go so see you around bye"Marie said walking away pulling Quinton and I with her."GIRL!"Marie said."What""That boy was cute and you turned him down harshly!""Oh, is that what you wanted to talk
