I wanted to say 'I'm okay' when you asked me. But the truth was I wasn't. I was the furthest thing from okay. I was broken, and all the little pieces were lost and scattered. Never to be found. Meaning I would never be okay. Never.
I wanted to say 'I'm okay' when you asked me. But I couldn't cause the heartache of the break-up was still eating away at me. It was eating me inside out, and I was pretty sure I wouldn't be enough to satisfy it's hunger.
I wanted to say 'I'm okay' when you asked me. But if I did I would've been lying. I don't think I could deal with anymore lies. The lies of everyone pretending they care about me. The lies that I was told just so that I would stay and save the world. . . Again.
I wanted to say 'I'm okay' when you asked me. But I didn't because part of me wondered why you cared so much. Why you stayed with me even though everyone else left. How long you would stay before you gave up on me.
I wanted to say 'I'm okay' when you asked me. But I couldn't because I was just a label. I wasn't Percy Jackson to people. I was Savior of Olympus. Son of Poseidon. The Prophecy Child. Hero of Olympus. I wasn't real to people.
When you, Nico Di Angelo, asked me if I was okay, I wanted to say I was. I desperately wanted to say I was, to actually be okay. But I didn't trust the lies you guys told me anymore. So when you asked if I was okay I told a lie of my own and said-
"I'm okay."
A/N- I was looking through some of my old stuff when I found my old writing notebook. it was filled with old stories I wrote. I only made some minor changes,like the characters. Hope you liked it. Review or PM me if you want me to write another chapter. And yes I'm trying to update The Lightning Thief as soon as I can. Remember: I love you guys!
