-----you’re such a good friend, I have to break your heart.
[/font]enerally speaking Athena was a prominent nighthawk. An owl was too much of a genteel sort of creature for Athena to even half be considered in such a way. Plus, her eyes were like cameras; constantly detailing every little section and scene around her. She was the ultimate epitome of an addict. Her bones were constantly dizzied, her veins always aching for more- her slender legs un-stabilized and her eyes always cloudy, hazy and her mind preoccupied yet vacant. Yet, she was respected to an extent, she didn’t whine out her problems to anybody she could get to hear them- she was the stereotype to bottle brash thoughts, though often appearing irrational to the human eye. Athena was not a team-player, she did not live up to other people’s expectations - and she did certainly not conform to ( many ) people’s beliefs about her. It was surprising that even though Athena had been awake for 72 hours, with a few sacred moments of sleep ushered spontaneously, she still seemed awake, even though a sullen smirk would appear on her face at the most insensitive of times she was still alert, even if her eyes told a different story. The robotic words of “This is going to make you freak.” broke the short-lived silence that had held the room demurely for so many hours. Lfo’s song would have startled her, if she hadn’t been expecting it- the song had been on a constant playXre-play for well over 3 days now; it appeared her favoured dog Adonis was not used to it though, and as he began to incessantly bark Athena threw a slipper across the room, forcibly making the dog run after it out of instinct. And once again she was left alone. There were hidden motives to her sudden spurge on drinking copious amounts of liquor, for one there was that nagging urge that kept reminding her that her grandmother had just died; she may have been a sports obsessive, but she sure knew how to be the life and soul of the party when it suited her. Many said that she took after Saoirse McCarthy for her wild ways and versatile advances. But as she was propped up on her window ledge, peering out into the azure-plain sky that seemed to hang over the city like a dead curse; cigarette elegantly situated in her eloquent and thin fingers she couldn’t have been more like her mother Ciara McCarthy.----------G
-----------T[/font]he informative beep of her laptop lead her to believe that somebody was contacting her, and as urgent as that message was Athena couldn’t bring herself to leave the tiny space that was separating her from the ground a good few floors below her. Inhaling sporadically, she took a few simple seconds before miserably exhaling. She looked very much like an old French Movie star at that very moment in time, though she was sure her own demise would not be down to drugs - the way she was going did not seem very promising. Finally taking her last drag on her unloyal white and brown friend, she lay it to rest in a cliché draw that most women seemed to have about. Shutting it with a bang her dog emerged looking awfully proud to have brought the slipper back, and now was greedily devouring it. As she sat back down on the floor, moving her finger twistedly on the small black patch the screen animatedly flickered into practise, there was a message from Cillian Romano. That boy was certainly interesting to the youngest McCarthy, she was fascinated by men - and although she perhaps loved and loathed women more, she could not help but admire the sensual sexy way they seemed to keep track of soccer matches down to their latest notch on the bedpost. Swiftly typing up a less than short reply she found that somebody else had responded to her. . . Paul, a 42 year old man - he may have had a receeding hairline like Jude Law ( sans the attractive, masculine face. ) but he knew how to bring a twinkle to the young girl’s eye, he was a great gamble to take but Athena was glad she didn’t pass up on the chance of meeting him. Infact, Paul was the guy who had brought her the most expensive thing she had owned, a silver bracelet which she had pawned the moment her grandmother passed away - in hopes of buying beautiful lilac and white flowers to decorate an urn that had once been quarter filled by Saoirse McCarthy’s ashes. Now, it was filled with water and decaying flowers. Saoirse had always said that when she died she would rather be burned, which most of the McCarthy clan reluctantly agreed too. Athena had scattered her in a small field, it held absolutely no reference to her grandmother other than the simple fact Athena was hanging onto: the fact she loved kids, and the fact that Athena would never reproduce and give her a grandkid, hence the fact a field where a lot of kids play = a happy deceased grandmother, in some twisted turn of events.
-----------A[/font]nd then it happened, the cd became jammed, playing in a stuck sound ‘causing Athena one of the biggest headaches she could have had in a while. Adding a sassy ‘bye, babe’ to Paul’s sweet ‘hay bbe’ she appeared offline, pushing herself up with a struggle, off of the dingy floor of her flat- turning off the cd player with a hearty slap, resulting in a loud echo and bruise on the cd player’s outer shell, “Oh, for fuck’s sake .[/font]” Athena cursed, instantly nibbling ravenously on her second finger on her right hand - when she almost ripped the skin she gave a jaunty yelp and let the finger fall from her parched pink lips. It was surprisingly quite a short walk to the beautiful Trousdale Estates, where Cillian’s house was. She had subconsciously forgotten (ignored) to call Daisy to see if she could make an appearance at Cillian’s. It was spiteful of her, but in a wicked attempt to ensure that she got the best out of her night, she couldn’t invited Daisy. There would be less stuff for her to use, and would honestly cut her time with Cillian like Sweeney Todd in his barber shop. Though Athena knew if Cillian wanted to instigate anything with Athena, he would do so whether or not Daisy was there, she couldn’t help a small part of her remind her how graceful and beautiful Daisy Van Buren was, thus, she would completely spoil such chances with Cillian Romano. That in mind, Athena knew that neither Cillian or herself were a love-sick pair, smitten with sights of each other; she still wanted something to happen tonight. With her already clouded pre-conceptions of how the night was going to turn out, she would of course have to do her part if Cillian got lazy after taking something.
-----------S[/font]ituations like this reminded her of when she had been dating Annabelle Gray, her first official girlfriend. She had been a great lover - sexually seductive but emotionally Athena could not connect with her, it was mutual. However, when Annabelle disappeared, note in tow of how she ‘couldn’t do this’, Athena began to think there was something wrong with her. Athena’s warped mind played various jokes joyously, yet imaginatively springing from the most insane places. When Athena had been loved in that way, however, she completely turned the opposite way to most people. She was not nicer, it just meant she flirted with women a whole lot more, and was perhaps less confident than she was in any other situation. Every love song effortlessly made her sick to her stomache, and Athena was sure there were no butterflies flitting around in her body, apart from those in her head- messing and stirring with her conceptions and morals.
-----------T[/font]he next sequence of actions were a blur. A surreal one, since knocking impatiently at Cillian’s door and finding it ajar, much to her annoyance she walked inside the place - admiring various pieces of artwork which adorned the hallway she was stepping into. As she soon found the living room where Cillian was situated she sexily sashayed to a position on her couch. Smiling and kissing the corner of his mouth, her trademark of sorts Athena’s eyes twinkled mischievously upon seeing rows of white crystals in front of her. Finding a razor scattered within hands reach, she began merrily chopping up the rocks with amazing precision. The way Athena was acting was no like a kid in a candy store, but rather like a famous woman in her golden years - ruining any bit of potential and intelligence she had entered Romano’s house with and thrown it away carelessly. “Do you have a bill ?[/font]” Athena asked, watching Cillian summon a green note she took it from him, laughing slightly at how smooth and casual the whole situation was. Throwing her hair back over her shoulder and looking up at Cillian out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly cupped her hand around the tiny rocks, her note in tow as she leaned down to the coffee table sniffing until she could feel the gritty things dissappear, twitching her nose and rubbing the ends delicately she suddenly arose, checking in her reflection in the polished coffee table there were no obvious traces of the white powder - and smiling up at Cillian, “Your turn .[/font]” she told him rather childishly, raising one of her eyebrows inquisitively and waiting for him, waiting eagerly to see what he would do. Whilst subtly listening to the music in the background, trying to work out who was singing whilst she waited impatiently but occupied enough.
