Arthemis P.O.V.
I lay on my bed crying my heart out. I don't even know, why. I should be glad, that I have family again, than why I feel betrayed and hurt? A quiet knock on the door interrupt my thoughts. " I said, I want to be alone!" I yell between sobbing. The door open slowly, " Pho.. I just can't.." my eyes widen as I see Matthew's head peeking into the room. " I.. I just wanted to check up on you. I've heard some noices." He steps in, " Are you crying?". " Please leave me alone," I hide my face into the pillow. I hear footsteps getting closer and feel the matress bending next to me. " I know it's lot to absorb, but Pho didn't mean to hurt you," he says calmly, " she really cares about you, although she doesn't show it. That's just the way she is, she acts though and cold on the outside, but that's just because she doesn't want to be hurt again. You should give her a chance." I look at him with teary eyes, he smile at me sitting next to. His present makes me feel so comfortable and safe. " Why didn't she just tell me? All this time I was thinking she hates me.."
" Well maybe she was afraid of your reaction, " his look soften. " Maybe you're right. I overreacted a bit," I think about the conversation," well, maybe more then just a bit. " I bet she understands, you must be stressed and really tired this past weeks. You're so pale and you look like you didn't sleep for a years." he looks at me worried, my eyes widen, he was the only one noticing it, but I really didn't get much sleep since I came here, nightmares were haunting me almost every night. And even though I was new to all this magical things, I could feel something is bad. I didn't hear from Lara since the first time and without her I felt weak, empty and frustrated. " I know you're having a hard times now, but we're all here to help you with anything," his voice interrups my thoughts. " Thank you," I smile at him through the tears. " But now you need to take some rest and sleep," he smiles at me wiping my tears away with his thumb. I burrow into duvet and lay my head on pillow. " I'll leave you get some rest now," I look at him and feel sudden sadness, I don't want him to go, but it would be strange to ask him to stay. So I watch him leaving, " Thank you, Matt," I smile at him," And good night." He smiles at me, " Good night to you too, Themi. Sleep well." The door close behind him and after few minutes of rolling on bed i finally fall asleep.
Matthew's P.O.V.
I close the doors behind me and sigh. After I left them alone in the kicthen to talk things out, I walked back to my room. I unpacked my things, when suddenly I felt this urgue to check up on her. And when I entered her room my heart stopped for a moment, she seemed so vulnerably, I wanted to take her in my arms and never let go. I wanted to tell her everything so we can stay there together, but it would be too much for her after today's events. So instead of telling her, I just try my best to make her feel better. I know that I'll have to tell her everything sooner or later, but it wasn't the right moment yet.
I scratch my neck and walk towards my room, as I reach the stairs to the basement I see Pho sitting there. " Hey," I sit next to her. " I screwed it up, didn't I?" she looked at me with sadness in her eyes. " No you didn't. It's just to much to handle for her. She's stressed and tired, so she overreacted a little bit. She'll rest a bit and everything will be fine. You should go to sleep too. We can talk about it later,"I smile at her and hug her. She hugs me bag, " Thank you Matthew and Good night," she smiles at me and walk away. I stand up and walk downstairs to my room. I change and lay on my bed starring at the ceiling.
