Next Door °J.W° - Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Athena
He did it again.
He told me to text him when I made up my mind, but he never did give me his number. So I've been ignoring it. Yes, it makes me feel bad, but I can't build up the courage to tell him.
Days passed and everyday I see Jake and Johnnie make their videos in their backyard or I'll randomly see them around town, but go the opposite way so they don't take notice of me.
I was making a bouquet of flowers to give to my mom when someone knocked on the door, I was hoping it wasn't Jake wondering if I decided to join him.
"Oh Johnnie." I said opening the door wider
"Sorry Athena, but I was hoping you had a first aid kit?"
I nodded my head motioning for him to come inside and follow me "Are you alright?"
"It's not me, it's Jake."
"What did he do?"
"It's nothing serve, he was just being himself." Johnnie said shrugging his shoulders
I bit my lip "Maybe I should come over, if that's alright?"
He smiled "Yeah, I think Jake would be happy to see you."
"I see that he is fond of me?"
"Very, but he likes everyone that he meets."
I followed Johnnie towards the backyard where anyone would be able to hear Jake whine.
"Johnnie! It fucking hurts."
"Show Athena then, I'm not a fucking doctor."
"Athena is here?"
"Yes Jake." I said sitting on the ground
"I think I'm bleeding out." He showed me his elbow
I tried not to laugh but Johnnie had no shame in laughing at Jake.
"Jake hun, you just scratched your elbow."
"But it's bleeding!"
"No it's not, but I'll put some ointment and a band aid on it." I grabbed out the supplies and did just that to make him feel better
"Better?" I asked
"Much." He said pulling me into a hug
It was comforting.
