Yet another pointless drabble when I should be working on other stuff. Sigh.
I do not own Percy Jackson.
O-o-O
[you know you're living a sad life when your ghosts are all you have left.]
i. stay away
He wishes he could stop seeing her. Then maybe he could convince himself that he's not crazy. (But of course he's crazy, he was always crazy about her.) At first he was numb. Blind. Then her honey curls would appear in his peripheral vision, her gray eyes flickering, mocking his pain. He looks in the mirror and sees her over his shoulder. He screams, yells at her to leave him in peace—stop haunting me!—shatters the mirror with his bare, angry hands. And the tinkle of broken and bloody glass almost sounds like her laugh.
ii. never gone
She thinks Daddy is a liar. Because Daddy said Mommy was gone. Never coming back. But she doesn't believe him, because Mommy is there in her room every night to read her a story. Her voice has changed though. Mommy is distant, and her stories are no longer of princesses in their grand fairy castles. Mommy simply tells the little girl, over and over again, that Mommy loves you, Mommy loves you so much. Laughs when the girl tells her that Daddy says she won't come back. But I am never truly gone, Mommy says. She always vanishes when the door creaks open and Daddy steps through. The girl always patiently waits for her to come back.
iii. watch you
She wishes she could have lived. She would have given anything—anything—to kiss her husband one last time, to watch her baby girl grow into a beautiful woman. Her little blind baby. Her Andi. (Because Andromeda is such a mouthful, how anyone can stand calling her that she doesn't know.) So she watches patiently, because watching is all she can do.
[some of us see ghosts. some of us hear them. some of us are ghosts. either way, we always know they are there.]
O-o-O
Yeah, more of Andi, my OC that seems to pop up everywhere. Maybe I'm just feeling guilty about not updating Kiss My Eyes in literally forever.
