This is my first fanfic, so go easy on me :).
_________________________________________

I finally get to go home, even though its only been one summer, it feels like it's been years.

Andrew saved me from atlas just a few days ago. And even though I was only holding the sky for one day, it felt like years went by not even waiting for me, which would be very rude. Anyway, i can finally go home today. I can finally see my mom and she can make blue cookies.

We can finally go to Montauk beach and just enjoy ourselves.
And we can be normal people for a little while. I can go and get kicked out of another school and see that wonderful smile waiting to greet me when I walk inside the apartment.

I was just finishing up packing to go home when andrew stopped by my cabin, probably to say goodbye.

"Hey Seaweed brain. How are you?" Andrew says walking inside my cabin

"As good as I can be wise guy" I reply, with a heavy sigh. I know he is referring to the death of Bianca Di Angelo and Zöe Nightshade, before the manticore kidnapped me, I promised Nico I would protect Bianca, I failed. And if I was strong enough, if I wasn't as tired from holding the sky, artemis and I could have saved Zöe. Their deaths were both my fault.

"I know what your thinking seaweed brain, it wasn't your fault." He says, shattering my dark thoughts and pulling out of my mind.

"But if I was stronger I could have helped save Zöe after you saved me. And if I was smart like you, if I wasn't a seaweed brain, I could have stayed and protected Bianca." I tell him, guilt looming over me like a boulder falling from the heavens, waiting to crush me.

"It wasn't. It wasn't your fault, it wasnt anyone's fault, and if you don't believe me, then, I guess that is why you are called seaweed brain." He says, cracking a smile at the end.

I offer a smile of my own, a smaller smile, a sadder smile, but a smile nonetheless.

I finish packing and we both walk to the big house to find Argus, so that he can drive me home. Once we find him I give Andrew a hug and we say our goodbyes.

The ride to my house was long and my ADHD did not help. As we drive along I wonder what is behind the buildings we pass, and as I am thinking about this. I start to feel what is behind them, whether it be the small bugs flying around, or the other buildings behind it, or the people walking by. I finally realized that I was pretty much seeing through the buildings and trees. I don't know how. But I will ask Andrew when I get the chance, he would know.

The car suddenly stopped and Argus grunted at me, in other words, it was his way of saying 'I have been nice, your welcome have a nice day and whatever, now scram!' That's what most people think anyway, I think he is probably a cinnamon roll, maybe not a blue one, but a cinnamon roll nonetheless. Back on track, I got out of the car and he immediately drove away.  I ran up the familiar steps, and knocked on the door to my apartment, after a minute, I just pick the lock.

What?

It's not my fault they put people in the Hermes cabin when they aren't claimed, and it didn't help that the lock only had two tumblers. I was violently dragged out of my thoughts when I notice a small trail of what looks like blood. I pull out riptide, and I slowly follow the trail, all of my senses on high alert. I find myself in front of mom's room, I open the door and my heart crumbles like a stale blue cookie.

I see my mom.

On the floor.

Dead.
