Disclaimer: Rick Riordan owns all the characters. I own nothing.
Should I tell him?
Should I tell him?
Should I tell him the truth?
He stands over me.
Protecting me.
And he doesn't know.
He doesn't know what I know.
Should he know?
It is like the first time I ever saw him.
He is protecting me from the monsters.
Except this time he wasn't fast enough.
It hurts.
My secret hurts to keep.
I don't have much time left.
The red stain spreading out from me tells me that.
I need to decide.
Should he know?
Or should he stay ignorant to my pain?
He drops down beside me.
He whispers to me that they have won.
He tells me to hang on and that they'll heal me if I can just hang on.
I should tell him.
I won't get another chance.
Despite what he says I know I can't hang on.
I should tell him.
Bianca never liked me to keep secrets.
Bianca would want me to confess.
So I open my mouth.
I blink once.
And I am in a different place.
I recognise it here.
Charon will be here soon to collect the dead people.
And I will be among them.
I never got to tell him how I felt.
'I love you' I whisper to the empty air.
