Hey, guys!
This story is kinda different than the others, but I hope you'll like it anyway.
Song: Let Her Go - Passenger
Staring at the bottom of your glass,
Piper – who thinks that every single person in the world should share with their feelings – pretended that she doesn't see Annabeth staring senselessly at the ocean, waiting for something to happen.
She didn't understand that her boyfriend wasn't going to show up from the water, dry and healthy.
She kept sitting there, worrying that if she blinks, she could miss a sign.
Grover accompanied her often – sometimes letting himself to drift away in Annabeth's thoughts – to hold her hand, rub her head and and force her to eat something.
Piper pretended she didn't see.
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last,
Malcolm pretended he doesn't hear her, crying her eyes out in Athena's cabin bathroom.
But one night, when he couldn't stand her hurt, he opened the bathroom's doors and at the moment he saw her, he wanted to cry himself.
She put her hand over her mouth and muttered a quiet "I'm sorry".
Her body, her eyes pleaded him to close the door and leave her alone, because she didn't want to deal with someone else right now.
Malcolm just kept pretending he doesn't hear, when he went back to sleep.
But dreams come slow and they go so fast.
Thalia pretended she's not worried about her best friend's body getting skinner and skinner, weaker and weaker.
She watched Annabeth, as she rummaged spaghetti with her fork, resting her head on her palm, yawning.
The daughter of Zeus wraps her hands tightly around the cup of a hot tea she's holding and meets Jason's blue eyes.
She wonders if gods enjoy taking the most important people away from their own children.
"I'm not going to let them do the same what they did to you, Thalia." She feels Jason's hand on her own.
She raises her gaze and nods silently.
You see her when you close your eyes,
No one mentions that Annabeth doesn't attend to any training.
And one day, when she actually shows up, with her dagger in her hand, blonde hair up in a ponytail, wearing armor, and only thing she says is:
"I'm done being weak,", everyone is shocked, because the only things that comes up in their minds at the thought of Annabeth are strength and respect.
Nobody says anything.
Maybe one day you'll understand why,
Leo smiles when he hears Annabeth's voice calling out for his name.
He raise his dirty face and meets her gaze.
"I want to help you with Argo II." She says firmly. "May I?"
He nods his head with energy and gestures for her to step further.
She manages to give him a small smile.
Everything you touch, oh it dies.
She will find Percy.
Reviews are lovely.
