The Crane Kick

We're Here For You

~OWEN POV~

I stepped cautiously into Athena's room, having to look down to avoid stepping on anything.

Her room was completely destroyed. Her clothes were thrown everywhere, her drawers were broken, her curtains were shredded, her picture frames were broken, and her mirror was shattered. The only things that were in okay condition, was her bed and punching bag.

"Athena," I said, trailing off. "What..."

Athena was sat on her bed, her head buried in her hands. She didn't move at the sound of my voice.

I could hear Jace cursing from behind me, cursing something about his toe.

I walked closer and flipped on a lamp, cautiously walking to the end of her bed.

"Athena?" I called again. "Are you okay?"

Again, Athena didn't move.

I sat down gently on her bed, and finally, Athena slowly looked up at me.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and her face was pale. She slowly lowered her hands, but made no other movement.

I reached my hand out slowly, resting it on her shoulder.

Athena jumped, as if she didn't realize I was there. Her eyes stared in to mine, and I felt a chill rush up my spine at the emptiness that she held in them. I looked at Jace, and then turned back to Athena and said, "It's okay, Thena. We're here. Jace and I aren't going anywhere. We're here for you."

A/N: I feel like I should rewrite this book. I just feel like it's really bad, it's not as good as I thought. I'm not completely sure though. I'll keep you guys updated on my decision.
