Letting it go

as he waits for the end, Percy thinks of all the decisions he had made in his life. he had gone through much, and nobody could deny it. blaming the fates would be unnecessary right now, because it would do him no good. maybe preparing right now, or perhaps finding a loophole would do him good. but even though he didn't want it, his mind drifted to one person . Annabeth

CHAPTER 1

Percy stared at his reflection in the mirror. He had never intended to end up like this. Everything had slowly drifted away from him. And one wrong decision was the cause of all this. He was still in a dilemma of whether to term the decision as right or wrong. But later, he came to the conclusion that it didn't matter whether the decision was right or wrong, because it was already taken and the consequences were to be faced. Percy stood up and walked to the balcony of his rented apartment. It was night time, and the glowing stars brought back fresh memories of his joyful past. The memories of him and Annabeth were crystal clear in his brain. On the nights when they couldn't sleep, they used head out to the beach with a blanket and a couple of snacks, and stay all night under the gaze of the celestial bodies, enjoying each other's presence. Percy remembered the countless times he had wished that he could get back with her. "Stop it Percy", he scolded himself, "you chose your path and left her in agony, now when she has finally moved on, you are thinking of going back? Stop being selfish and accept it. You are never getting her back." He wanted to argue, but he knew the voice said the truth. His heart still broke whenever he thought of the nights when she used to cry her eyes out, just wishing that he would come back, and he would always be there, just watching her, with tears in his eyes, not able to do anything. He wished he could go back in time and change all of it. It was his fault that his friends and family had to go through so much, especially Annabeth. He still wished for a chance to set it all right. Suddenly the gate of the apartment flew open, pulling Percy out of his thoughts.

He knew who it was, even without using his super human powers. He turned around to find a grim faced Marty. Percy knew what Marty was going to ask him even before he said it. "Are you sure? ". Those words wouldn't have meant much to a normal person. For me, it was a life and death situation. But I knew that I had never been so sure about anything in my entire lifetime. "Yes" he replied "but first I need to complete some errands".

He got up and exited the room with Marty following him. He climbed up the steps to the roof. The night sky looked even brighter and clearer up there. But this time, the old memories did not nag him. He was ready to leave his past life, and accept what was to come. He tried for a smile, and surprisingly, after so long, he could finally feel happy. He was doing all this for the living and the dead. Maybe the good he does now would cover up for his mistakes. He stepped forward and jumped off the roof.
