"I'm falling to pieces…
Those were the first words to appear in Jason's mind every time he woke up. Every morning he would look to the pillow next to him, expecting to see his girlfriend breathing and then puffing out.
He didn't.
Piper had died saving everyone in the Second Giant War last year. After she said the one word that put Gaea to rest, Piper drained all of her energy and collapsed. Jason went into shock for weeks. He just couldn't move on. Life wasn't complete without her.
A different one of his friends came to his cabin every day, trying to cheer him up. No one had yet to succeed. Leo was still missing, which added even more to Jason's heavy burden.
It broke him like nothing else could.
His two best friends, his lover, his crazy repair boy…gone. He felt as though he had nothing. No, he DID have nothing.
As much as he cared about Percy and Annabeth, it was nothing compared to what he felt for Leo and Piper.
Piper…
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing…
He couldn't live without her.
Leo…
His best friend was nowhere to be found.
This is the end.
Hazel…keep on shining.
Frank…never let your arrow miss its destination.
Nico…follow your heart.
Thalia...please move on.
Annabeth…be who you believe you are.
And Percy…just keep swimming.
He loved all of them.
-Your lightning king, Jason" Annabeth finished reading. She took a shaky breath. "This is how Jason wanted us to remember him. No one wished for him to go this way, but we all can understand why he did. Jason, we love you."
And so is the end of Jason Grace.
Hey, y'all. Wow. So it's been a while, huh. I'm really sorry for not updating, and I know how much everyone loves long author's notes at the end of stories (rolls eyes), but you all just need to know how sorry I am that haven't updated in a whole year. Things haven't been that great back home, so that's my lame attempt at an excuse. I honestly will try to update more often. Actually, I definitely will as I am now grounded for three months and will be home A LOT.
(Also what do you guys think of my pen name? I think it's kinda cute )
Thank you!
