I'm sorry.
Percy wondered bitterly how many times had he said that in his short lifetime.
I'm sorry.
That was his response to everything.
I'm sorry.
Sorry that he's broken, sorry that he couldn't stay with Calypso, sorry he couldn't save Beckendorf, sorry he couldn't save Luke, sorry he couldn't save all those who fell for him.
I'm sorry.
He was a nuisance here, he could see that. Annabeth had been growing distant, but giggling like an Aphrodite kid with the new camper. Thalia was always away, busy with the Hunt. Nico was helping his father with a bunch of escaped souls from The Fields of Punishment. Camp had forgotten his fame, slowly, gradually, as though the gods wanted to torture him, to see the light fade from his eyes. He was no longer in the spotlight, no longer spoken of with fame. But what hurt the most was his friends. Leaving him, one by one. As though they no longer needed him. As though he was the only one that wished for their company. As though he was the only one that needed them anymore. The ones who deserved it never got happy endings.
I'm sorry.
He's sorry that he's there, obstructing Annabeth's path to happiness. She didn't dare break up with him for the new camper because she was scared he might 'break'. Percy felt like snorting. 'Break'? He already broke a long time ago. They just didn't know, and didn't care to know.
I'm sorry.
He's sorry he's in Mom's and Paul's way. Even though they never actually said anything, he could tell they didn't want him over at their apartment that often anymore, in fear he would attract monsters and endanger his baby sister's life.
I'm sorry.
He was a nuisance. He was no longer needed here.
I'm sorry.
Percy pressed the knife to his wrist. Was he really going to do this? What about…uh….um—there wasn't anyone anymore. They no longer needed him here.
I'm sorry.
He pressed the knife harder to his wrist.
I'm sorry.
The light faded from his eyes.
I'm sorry. I really am.
