I went up to my room after my little breakdown in the living room. I think I'm out of tears now as I stared up at the ceiling. A knock on the door made me sit up in my bed. Levi put his head through the door as he whispered.
"Hey, Athena. You don't mind me coming in, do you?" I shook my head in negative as he entered my room. He sat on the edge of my bed as I brought my knees closer to my chest.
"How are you feeling?" He broke the silence after letting out a small sigh. I smiled a little.
"I'll live. I've been dealing with this all my life. I should be used to it by now, you know, but every time she does it again, it always feels like she inflicts a fresh wound on me." I stopped after I realized that I was rumbling. "I'm sorry I shouldn't disturb you with my problems."
"No! No!" He let out a deep breath as he continued. "I know I haven't really been there for you since you came here and since your father died. It's just-- I didn't know how to be there."
