Athena P.O.V

I finally got in the car, not being in the mood for putting music on. That's what made me realize that I was broken, I always listened to music, I always wanted to listen to music.

I looked at myself in the little car mirror, my mascara was a mess, my eyes were red and puffy, my nose was runny, and my hair was full of frizz. I was a mess

After a long cry session in my car I decided that it was time to head home, I needed to see Anna and tell her about this. Anna and I were so close, we told eachother everything. She's is the one that helps me with every single problem that I have, and I couldn't be more grateful for having her.

Ten minutes later I was at my door, still crying. I know I was probably exaggerating, but it still hurts. It hurts knowing that your bestfriend doesn't think you are good enough. My relationship with Sophie was never the healthiest, and if im being honest she was kinda toxic, but deep inside, i knew she cared for me, i knew that despite all the bad comments about how i dressed, how I sung, how I laughed, she still loved me. Or so I thought

I quickly got the key from my pocket and entered the house. Anna was sitting in the couch, a cup of coffee in one of her hands, and her phone in the other one. She looked up to me and her eyes were filled with worry

"Oh my god, Ath what happened?" She quickly wrapped her arms around me and I proceeded to bury my face in her shoulder and cry a bit more

"Ath, please tell me why are you crying" She said while stroking my hair, worry all over her tone

I tried calming myself down while taking deep breaths, sobbing with asthma wasn't the easiest thing to do. I told her everything, with sobs in between. I couldn't stop crying, it was like I was gonna drown in my own tears.

"Im gonna kick that bitch with a salami stick, I swear to God and the virgin Mary"

I let out a chuckle

"Thank you Ann" My voice came out more like a whisper, but it was loud enough for her to hear

"For what?"

"For making me laugh even when im broken"

"That's why im here for, you will always be my baby sister and I will always love you"

"I love you too. I think I'll head to my room"

"Okay Ath, remember, you are enough!"

"Okay..." I said not being convinced about that statement

When I entered my room I knew exactly what was I gonna do. Sing

I thought my situation could be happening to other people, so before I started to sing I decided to set up my phone and record myself. I quickly cleaned my tears, washed my face and took deep breaths.

I pressed the record buttton:

"Hey everyone, it's Ath here, today wasn't a good day for me and my insecurities, so I decided to do a little reminder for all of you. You are all so beautiful, inside and out. You deserve to be loved and you deserve to be happy. Thank you for living, thank you for existing, im so proud of you, even if the only thing you did all day was wake up, im proud that you did. This is Perfect Now by our dear Louis Tomlinson"

I grabbed my guitar and started playing a very familiar tune of one of my favorite songs that was perfect for this moment

[You say to me your jeans don't fit
You don't feel pretty and it's hard to miss
I wish that you could see my point of view...]
