AN: So this is my first story, and t's poetry. The first chapter is about Leo, and I have chapters for Frank and Thalia, but no others. I will publish as often as I can, which should be once or twice a week. I'll make a schedule by the fourth chapter.

Leo Valdez

Masquerade

Hiding behind jokes and laughter

Is a boy who's scared and lost

He wants to love somebody

But love comes at such a cost

So hidden behind a masquerade

In laughter, jokes, and smiles

Is a boy who'd walk to see her

Walk and walk for miles

But once the dead is lost

You must put up a masquerade

So no one gets to see

Your precious smiles fade
