As he fell, he waited for the crash, but he slowly learned it didn't always come.


Percy sat everyday at his desk staring. Now if you asked him he was staring off into the distance, tuning out his annoying old math teacher, who could not

talk slower, but in all honesty he was staring at something. Something that caught his eye and stole all of his attention. He saw it at as a problem he could

never resolve. Everyday, it felt as a piece of him was being taken away and it made him want to pull his hair out. He thought ignoring the feeling he always got

could make it go away, but he quickly learned that he was wrong. The longer he pushed it away the stronger it came back. He was falling.

Percy laid in his bed thinking. Now if you ask him it would be about the hard test he just had and that one problem that was even really part of the lesson,

but in all honesty he was thinking about something else. It plagued him in his dreams and made him feel a way he couldn't really put into words. He laid in bed

screaming into his pillow, but smiling at the same time. He couldn't put off how happy he felt everyday. Although, he always felt unfulfilled, he was happy, he

always wore a smile no matter how long that gut wrecking feeling was present. He didn't want to ignore that feeling, it made him feel complete even though

something was missing. The longer he held on and didn't let go, the harder it became to deal with. He was falling.

Percy was walking through the halls of Goode, letting his feet carry him. Now if you asked him, he would say he has no idea where he is going, but in his

heart he knows exactly where he is going. He follows the path he does every morning. He smiles the entire way, his mind wandering. Now this wondering lead

to both good and bad, but at no time did he stop. He was motivated. He wanted to see the thing that stole all his attention, and made him screaming to his

pillow with a smile. He was walking through the halls, he came to an abrupt stopped when he bumped into exactly what he was looking for, he leaned down and

grabbed her hand, lifting her to her feet and looking right into her startling grey eyes. Annabeth was smiling at him and him at her. She looked up at him and

their eyes met and he didn't think her smile could get bigger, but it did and in that moment he knew as all this time what he felt, he fell he waited for the crash,

but it never came. he was no longer falling. He loves her.
