Ok this fanfic you kind of have to throw Mr. Happy Percy out the window, ok? Pretend he's depressed but acts super happy around his friends. This is my first tragedy kind of story, so you will have to forgive me if it's weird. (He also doesn't bear the curse of Achilles.)

I sat in the corner of my cabin, the cold tile floor sucking every bit of heat out of me. I have tried to escape my sorrow many times. Trying new methods, each failing in the long term. Only distracting me from the real pain for a few minutes.

Beside me sits a box of blades. My newest idea.

I pick one up to examine it. I drag it across my right forearm.

I let out a groan as pain surges through my arm. Slapping my mind awake, pushing me out of the rut of depression only for a few seconds.

With every beat of my heart a new wave of blood pours out of my arm.

I could end it right now. I stare at the razor. Could I really do it? I doubt it.

I shiver as the cold tiles start to get to me.

I eventually I get up and clean my new cut. In line next to the others.

Some fresh, some slowly turning into a neat row of scars that will be easy to hide under a long sleeve shirt.

I climb into bed even though when I look at my clock it's only 3:00PM.

I hear foot steps outside my door.

My girlfriend Annabeth bursts through the door. She is always full of life.

She sees me lying in bed.

"Get up Seaweed brain! What do you think your doing in bed?"

I sit up making sure to hide my fresh cut.

She comes over and gives me a kiss.

I feel a spark of happiness almost instantly, and my brain is pushed out of my rut for longer than I've been able to get with the other times.

She pushes me out of bed and drags me out of the cabin. Blabbing about the lake or something but I'm not listening, I'm thinking about how good it felt to kiss Annabeth.

How I was happy for longer than it takes for the pain to subside from a blade across the skin.

Maybe I will have to make this my new method.

Boo hoo hoo, happy ending. :D
