~ATHENA POV~

I stood in front of the mirror, looking blankly through it.

Why was I standing here? When did I get up and get to the bathroom? I couldn't remember. I wasn't to sure how long I had been standing there for, but I figured it must of been for a while.

I scanned my own face in the mirror, and felt like puking. I couldn't stand looking at myself in the mirror anymore. Not after all the shit I've done, and what Silver did. I felt dirty. I couldn't get Silver out of my head, or the ghost of his hands off my body.

I clenched the sink tightly, and looked down. My breathing was heavy and I was about to puke. Looking up at the mirror again, I let go of the sink, and reeled my arm back, and punched the mirror. The mirror shattered, and a few shards fell to the ground.

"Athena? What happened?"

I didn't answer. I looked at myself in the shattered glass, unblinking.

A knock sounded on the door and my eyes snapped over to it through the mirror. "Athena? It's Dad. Are you alright?"

Dad? When did Dad get here?

"Athena, I'm gonna come in okay? I'm gonna help you."

Help. Did I deserve the help? What did I do to deserve help or kindness? Why was he helping me? Why did I—

"Thena?"
