Bonus Chapter - Silena POV

Bonus Chapter – Silena POV

Don't Give Up

-⁛-

White knuckles

And sweaty palms from

I was always the anchor for Percy. He could cry and weep and tell me anything and I wouldn't judge.

Hangin' on too tight

I was there when his father died, and I was there when he did the same.

Clenched shut jaw

There are things he told me that no one else knew.

I've got another

I treated him like a little brother.

Headache again tonight

And now he was gone.

And this is my side of the story.

"Silena," Sally's voice sobbed through the phone. "Please come over."

Eyes on fire, eyes on fire

"What's going on?" I asked.

And they burn from all the tears

"He's gone," she wept. 

I've been cryin', I've been cryin'

"What's gone?" I asked, panicking.

I've been dyin' over you

"Poseidon." 

Tie a knot, in the rope

Oh. 

Tryin' to hold, tryin' to hold

"How's Percy?"

But there's nothing to grab

Sally was silent. "He's... dealing with it the best he can. They've never been on good terms, but he still loved him, you know? And then the thing that happened with Hannah on the same day..."

So I let go

I nodded. "I'll be right there."

I think I've finally had enough

 "He's in his room," Sally informed me as I walked inside.

I think I maybe think too much

I nodded, giving Sally a tight hug as I walked to Percy's room.

I think this might be it for us

He was lying on his bed, staring at the ceiling.

Blow me one last kiss

There were no tears. 

Just when it can't get worse

There were no signs of anger. 

I've had a shit day

There was nothing.

You had a shit day

"I'm not in the mood to talk," Percy said softly. "So go back home, Silena."

We've had a shit day

"Nope," I said stubbornly as I slid onto the bed beside him. 

I think that life's too short for this
