Chapter 7: Friends
"I can't take you Portia! I told you, I don't want guilt!" I said, shocked that she was suggesting something like that after trying to get me out of it.
"But you won't have guilt! If I choose to come then it's not your fault! You can't be held responsible if I die!"
Those last words didn't really help much. "But Portia, even if it isn't my fault, I don't want you dead! You're my friend, Portia, even if we haven't known each other that long, I like you and I couldn't stand it if you die!!"
At this she looked down. "I…thanks Athene. I don't think anyone's ever liked me enough to say something like that. You see, I never really had friends where I lived. All the sirens hated me for being so nice to the sailors. I've never had any friends."
This shocked me. "But you're so nice!" I said, "I can't believe you've never made any friends!"
"Well…. it's true."
I hugged her "Well now you have me."
She hugged back "Thanks Athene. I really appreciate it."
"No problem," I told her "Now let's go save my dad!"
