I woke up the next morning half off of my bed with a knee in my back. "Ugh, there she is." I mumbled rubbing my swollen eyes with my fists.

I woke up a series of times last night in a cold sweat as expected, but I must have finally fallen asleep right before Clara had come home.

"Clara.. wake up. I can't move!" I grunted as I tried maneuvering my way from her grasp.

"CLARA!"

"HUH?! WHAT'S HAPPENING?? ARE YOU OKAY?!" She shot up in bed still fully dressed in her dress from last night. "Ow, fuck my head!" She slapped her palm to her forehead wincing.

"Serves you right! Wait.. I have so many questions. When did you get back and why are you still wearing that?" I chuckled now sitting cross legged back on my bed.

"I dunno but it was so much fun babe, sadly its all a blur at this point. The last thing I really remember was taking a shot of something from some girls titties." She moaned into her hands. "Then I suddenly was making out with the Adonis of all gods." She winked.

"Tell me more about that, I could use a good hook up story." I smiled at my hungover best friend.

Tossing her long straight silky black hair over her shoulders, she looked at me with her brown sleepy eyes " I don't remember." She pouted.

"We'll I'm sure he does. Did you get paid?"

"Girl, thousands. We're going out tonight...once I nap first." She laughed pulling my duvet over her head and mumbling back to sleep.

I got up with puffy eyes and headed to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Then headed downstairs to let her sleep whatever the hell that was off.

"Does pink go with this?" I asked stressing over my outfit for tonight. "You know on second thought, I'm not going." I sat frowning on my bedroom floor.

"Like hell you aren't! Where's that Athena I know huh? You're falling into a funk again hey love?" She reached down to rub my back.

"Yeah, I thought about mom last night and spiralled. I know it's been 3 years already, but some nights just are so hard still. My depression is coming back I can feel it." I leaned into her touch looking down.

"3 years means fuck all babe, you can't wish grief away like that. You may never fully stop. You were left with no closure and no answers. She was ripped away from you and need I remind you that you've lost what, 3 parents now?! It's perfectly normal to feel this way. You just can't sit in it for too long because you need to take care of you. And if you can't, that is what I'm here for!" She grabbed my arms pulling me up from the floor. "Now, give me a big hug and cheer up. We got dancing to do and not the working kind."
