How could you leave us?

Chapter 4: Percy

I'm drowning in my emotions. Nightmares feel like a reality. Sleep has been so rare where there are  dark prominent circles under my eyes. My life has just become a walking, living nightmare that I'm always in.

To make things worse Annabeth has been distant and closed more so. I closed myself off from camp activity's staying at the beach trying to come back to reality.

I'm sitting on the sand when I see a women approaching me with a plate in her hands from a distance. Annabeth?

I see her wearing a light brown shirt with navy blue jeans that define her curves. A white feather is tucked in her hair contrasting her tan skin.

"Hey, Piper." My voice sounds raspy and I internally wince

She sits next to me "I brought you something." She brings out a huge plate of big cookies

I grin and find myself getting lost in her beautiful eyes that seem to shift by the moment. They remind me of a kaleidoscope. I wonder if her eye color reflects her mood.

"Thanks Pipes. What's up?" I ask

"You seem upset. You weren't at any camp activities anymore and I hardly see you anymore." She frowns "What's wrong Perce? Don't you dare think of saying nothing because you know dam well I know better."

I wince she knows me too well. "Piper I've been having th-these nightmares." My voice cracks "I keep seeing Annabeth with someone else. I can't help but wonder if it's true." I sigh "I don't know what to do." I sob

"Percy." She touches my arm gently "I'm sorry. Annabeth and you have been through literal hell together. But Annabeth has been acting strange all week at camp and I think it's kinda odd she hasn't asked about you..." Piper reaches over to hug me "She doesn't deserve you Perce. I've always thought you could do so much better. It's okay for you to fight for someone you love but it's not okay to fight for someone to love you. She never gives you the attention and love you deserve." She mumbles in my shirt

I just nod "Thank you Pipes. I still hope these night terrors I'm having are just nightmares. I love her and I don't want to lose her..."

I don't know what I would've done without Piper. I realized that monsters don't live under your bed because they live inside your head...

(A/N Ah nothing like a good moment of Piper and Percy bonding. Have a terrific day! :)

What do Percy and Piper discover? How does Leo feel about this? Why did she do this to him? —>
