Everything was fine until last night when the memories started coming back.I had just started my second year at camp when it came memories of the pain and the beatings.I`m glad mom finally decided to get rid of him last year I don`t know much more I could take.I know when I touch water I heal if i`m wounded but I still remember every bruise and scar that has ever formed and where they were at on my body.I`m still a little jumpy when people come near me but not if Grover,Annabeth or,Chiron are near me sometimes I still get jumpy if they catch me off gaurd.
Yesterday was the first day the pain and the beatings started three years ago.Gabe had just got home angry and drunk.I was lying on the couch watching T.v. while mom was asleep. it was the middle of the night when he got back from the bar.I didn`t want to make him more angry and wake mom so I started to ignore him. he was by the side of the couch when he looked down at me.I could tell he was started to get more angry so I finally asked him what he wanted not taking my eyes off the T.v. Before I knew it I was being grabbed off the couch and to my feet I was face to face with him now when he started to talk telling me not to make a sound or ever tell anyone about this night or I would pay the price for it so I kept my mouth back handed me across the face cutting my lip with is ring he started saying how much he hated me and how he felt sorry for anyone who ever came into contact with me and saying no wonder my father left because he didn`t want to have to look at me. he told me how worthless I was then he punched me in the I was Unloved, Punch. ,Hated, Punch. , Stupid, Punch. after about ten minutes of the punches and threw me on the ground and starting kicking me in the stomach I moaned in pain trying not to make to much kicked me in the stomach one last time before he kicked me in the face which welcomed me to the darkness......
I never told anyone about my past and I don`t intend to either,I got up and changed into a T-shirt and shorts I decided to skip breakfest since Gabe wouldn`t let me have anything to eat so it sorted stuck with me so I started to go for a jog to lose more weight since I started thinking I needed to get more skinny I was to fat.I ran threw the woods so no one would see me.I didn`t stop till I got back to camp till later that night.I saw Annabeth starting to walk towards me. I sighed. ''What now?'' I thought asking my was standing infront of me now looking worried."Where were you!,me and Grover and Chiron have been worried about you,you never shown up for breakfest or lunch and none of us have seen you all day." she said anger now crossing her arms. "Look just leave me alone I don`t need you or anybody else worring about me or asking questions getting in my buisness alright." I said angry now had a shocked expression on her face because I yelled at she could answer I took off running again back to my I got there I changed into some different clothes tired all of a sudden and climbed into bed getting under the covers welcoming the darkness to come over me putting me into a dreamless sleep.
The next morning I woke up sore from all the running I looked up to see three worried faces looking down at me.I overreacted and screamed a little jumping back against the wall pulling my knees to my chest covering my face rocking back and forth.I felt a strong hand on my shoulder and I tensed up and stopped rocking and started to shake a little when I heard Chiron`s voice he sounded worried."Percy? are you alright?" He asked worried. I nodded and got off the bed after a minute and ran down the dock and into the water swimming away from them not wanting to face them yet.
