This is Wake Me Up by Avicii. I own nothing! Enjoy :)
Another night. Another night I have woken up screaming and drenched in sweat. Tears ran down my face as I saw light drain out of their eyes. I couldn't save him. I was too late.
They say 16 is too young to lose someone. They say it's too late to see someone's life force leave them. They say it's hard, too much for such a young person. It's scarring, it's too much.
But that was then. This is now. I lay in my bed now, but tomorrow I could just as well be fighting for my life.
It's been three months since my sixteenth birthday. The day I supposedly saved the world. But it's also been three months since I've cried myself to sleep every night. Three months since I've had nightmares about the people I've killed. The people I failed to save. The people that died saving me.
I wrapped my hands around my knees, it's too hard…too hard. The cheeky, laidback, fun-loving guy I used to be is gone. When did I lose myself? I felt tears run down my face yet again. I don't want to open my eyes.
My vision started to fade to darkness again, but I felt something move. Soft hands pressed against my shoulders, I felt them rather than saw them though. Annabeth. My savior.
"I heard you cry, are you okay Percy?" her soft voice caressed my neck.
I turned around to face her, pressing our foreheads together, "No…oh Wise Girl, why's this happening to me? Why can't I move on?"
She smiled softly, almost pityingly, "You gotta move on Perce, no one blames you. You can't save everyone, but you saved more mortals than I could even count. You saved me…"
"No…you saved me," I touched my nose to hers. "I can't thank you enough…"
"You don't have to…"
"Annabeth, I'm scared."
"Why, Perce?" a soft hand caressed my cheek. I leaned into for comfort, taking warmth from her tender touch.
"I think there's another prophecy…I…I can't do this one too."
"Percy you don't know it's about you…besides, I know you can do this. You're the strongest demigod in the world…"
I sighed, "Annabeth, I've carried the weight of the world, but I only have two hands. What more can I give? My life? I want to live Annie…take you to Greece so you can drown me with facts…go to England, go to France, swim across the world… What if I can never do that?
I hate being a demigod Annabeth, what if…I wish I could just go to sleep and deal with this another time…"
"Oh Percy…"
"Annabeth, wake me up when it's all over."
