Tell us Dawn’s side of the Vicky and Athena situation

Please

I like Dawn

It’s Dawn time.

As previously mentioned, Dawn, Vicky and Athena were as close as they could be in primary school, and this followed them into the first few years of secondary school. Dawn had no interest in making new friends or being around anyone other that Vicky and Athena. Of course she did end up meeting new people, but she never felt like needed anybody other than her two best friends. They understood her in a way no one else did, whenever she was overstimulated or unable to communicate how she felt, they were there and they knew. They understood her better than she understood herself, and she couldn’t imagine being herself without them. 

When Athena began to struggle after her mam left, withdrawing from her friends, Dawn tried very hard to see things the way Athena did, but she couldn’t fully grasp what Athena was feeling or how to fix it. Vicky was always the problem solver, always the more assertive and authoritative friend. When Athena began to date Liam, suddenly changing her opinion on his advances, Dawn again struggled to see things through Athena’s eyes. The entire affair rubbed Dawn the wrong way, especially the secrecy. It took both Vicky and Athena persuading her not to tell anyone for Dawn to stay silent. It made no sense to her, if something wasn’t wrong, why wouldn’t you tell? (Honesty is Dawns biggest crutch in navigating the world around her, secrets, double meanings and lies frustrate and distress her.) 

Both Dawn and Vicky remained unaware of the way Liam treated Athena, so when she broke up with him seemingly out of nowhere, Dawn was just as surprised as Vicky was. Though she had never been the biggest advocate of their relationship, she was under the impression that Athena was happy.

After not hearing from Athena for a few days (the break up possibly happened during a half term break) Vicky pulled Dawn aside in the early morning before tutor began, with wide eyes and a tense jaw, and told her what Liam had lamented. 

Athena had cheated on him, cheated on him with the new boy Giovanni. That all the time the two spent together in the music rooms compiled a great mosaic of Athena’s infidelity. Vicky told Dawn that she couldn’t believe it, in the way that people do when they do believe something but don’t want to. Dawn repeated the sentiment, in the way people do when they truly don’t believe something.

It made no sense, Dawn knew Athena. She would never do that. It wasn’t a question of why she would do something like that, but the simple verdict of she wouldn’t. Vicky had already made up her mind, tormented at the idea of never truly knowing her best friend and the pain she’d caused her brother. Dawn said nothing, needing time to think. It was within the week that the rumours had grown and spiralled, that everyone that cared to hear it knew what Giovanni and Athena had done behind closed doors. 

Athena hadn’t spoken to Dawn in days.

Vicky refused to even look at Athena, dragging Dawn away from her and keeping her close.  It took a while, maybe a day too long, for Dawn to catch Athena. She didn’t want to talk over the phone or text, she needed to see her and hear her voice. 

It was after school, Athena having hidden herself away for the entire school day as she had done for the past week or so. Dawn found her lingering behind in a tutor room with Giovanni.

The conversation was staggered and awkward, neither knowing what to say but both desperately wanting to say something. Dawn is quite blunt, and can come across as rude or snarky whilst being completely genuine. Her grasp on social customs isn’t the best and tends to default to unfiltered honesty in emotional situations. All this being said, she made the mistake of asking Athena if it was true she had cheated on Liam. 

Athena didn’t react well to this, seeing it as an accusation, a condemnation, rather that the sincere question Dawn intended it to be. Dawn didn’t believe that Athena had cheated on Liam, but asked the question in order to lay out all the facts in front of her. Athena tore into Dawn, with tears in her eyes, the venomous words came easily. How could you believe something like that? Do you really think so little of me? That i’d whore myself out? I know you don’t get it, Dawn, you never get it. Leave me alone, I don’t want to talk to someone who thinks that low of me. I hope you and Vicky are happy together, a perfect duo.

If Dawn were a more poetic person, she would have seen that one slither in time, that snap shot moment as the epitome of that period of her life. Left standing on her own in an empty classroom, feeling like she’s in the wrong but not knowing why. Athena almost brushed her shoulder as she stormed out, Giovanni trailing behind, and Dawn for once wished she had.

Dawn found herself reaching back for a constant yesterday, watching park swings knock together with a pit in her stomach. Laughter and bows and discounted dolls made her inexplicably angry, and the idea of a hand in hers made her palms sweat and prick. She hated birthday cards and candles and handwriting and feathered lace.

While both Athena and Vicky stewed in their own anger as self centred and obnoxious as stars exploding outwards, dawn felt her own anger wither and die quietly, falling in on herself. Dawn stuck by Vicky, out of a desperate need for routine than anything else. She didn’t believe her, and every sly comment that dripped acid from Vicky’s curled lip made her sink further in her chair, but Athena was unreachable. 

Dawn felt unbearably alone.

Riley: Mmm, guess we could go inside. Do you have a pool? I feel like you’d have to own one out here.

Dawn: We have one, but it’s being cleaned right now. Plus it’s really cold, and it’s not heated. Sorry.

Riley: Alright...well, what else can we do?

Dawn: Ummm, give me a second to think.

are you telling me after buffy died, willow and tara moved into her house, adopted her sister and lived off joyce’s life insurance without getting a job of their own?  they are like the villians in a dickens novel, stealing the summer’s family fortune and blowing it all on crystals and incense  wouldn’t be surprised if they had a part in buffy’s death
