Still don't own PJO Oh Darn!

I slipped soundlessly through the door and walked right into the back of Kampe she swiveled around quickly and was about to hurl a salvo of insults at me when she stopped short, realizing who I was. "What is going on here" I snarled.

"Master, there is a fight between Kelli and the girl. More than half the ship is watching, sadly the girl is winning."

"What! She better not have started a fight." I pushed through the growing crowd finally reaching the center. Kampe was right on a number of levels, Lily and Kelli were fighting and Lily was winning for the most part but Kelli wasn't afraid to fight dirty and was preparing to thrust a knife straight into her heart.

"Stop!" I bellowed. Quickly I pulled Lily away wincing and gritting my teeth as the sharp pain subsided from the fresh cuts I had received from her forearms. 'I need to get her away from the other monsters, she will definitely find some way to start a fight. But where could she go? My room is the only safe place. Or-. I was wrenched out of my thoughts by Lily's voice.

"Luke I-." Wow she is trying to defend herself

"Don't" I intoned my voice breaking slightly at the end. I couldn't lose her. I mean Kronos can't she is the key to our success. Right that's it.

"Stay here" I said loudly trying to hide that my voice was shaky. I need to get out of here fast.

"Lily I need to go I'm trying to trust you, don't mess this up." Hey wait a minute! I silently protested. "Lily are you even listening to me?" I finished a bit desperately,

"Uh no?" came her steady and confused reply."

"Gods, okay you are to stay here."

"Wow Luke you have sunk to a new low, grounding me. You really can't be serious." She said incredulously. "You have no right-"

"My ship my rules." Came my weak reply before I dashed out the door and down the hall. I jumped up the last few steps and grabbed myself a water bottle from the snack shop. "Holy Hades." I said voicing my thoughts out loud.

"Aw Lukie, what's the matter?" Called the annoyingly high pitched voice of my ex girlfriend Kelli.

"Nothing I have to go." Geez I have to find an exit fast, c'mon brain fast you have freakin' a.d.d for gods sakes!

"Not so fast handsome, I was wondering if you would be interested in a swim. I am care to join me?"

"No I'm not interested now please let me go." I pleaded.

"What! Came her steely response "It's because of her isn't it!" She shrieked "how could you I thought we were friends."

"Hah you think there is something going on between me and Lily? Ya right!" I said sarcastically. Not that I don't want something to be going on. Wait erase that from your mind I never said that. Then one of the new half-bloods walked up Michael what's-his-name and I made my big escape. There were so many now, most of them children of lesser gods, and I can't even remember half of them. There parents abandoned them like mine abandoned me. I feel a little bit guilty about abandoning Lily so many times but- I- I just can't stay with her. By leaving her I was saving her life but it was ruining mine. I admit that I liked Thalia but I never loved her. It was a simple crush, worn down and forgotten over time. Lily I never should have left, or betrayed or- shut up brain! Your not helping. I think I should go check on Lils. I was walking to my room when I got a sinking feeling- I hadn't locked my door. I started sprinting 701, 02, 03, 04, 05, 706... No! where is she! I ran back down the hallway, I didn't trust her. I had absolutely no reason to trust her. She seems to like the top deck's pool I'll check there. No one's here. I turned and had to squint because f the sun shining in my eye's. Wait? the suns behind me? Aha! A journal is it Lil-No. Oh no, oh no, oh no. Calm, Calm, *whoosh* okay high places, she likes high places. There. The salty breeze blowing her hair across her face which was slightly flushed and she was… smiling?

"What are you doing?" I asked, confused.

"Who me?" she asked stupidly.

"Yes you Lily do you see anyone else?" I asked sarcastically. Then I saw the… cuts.

"What the hell!" I screamed grabbing her arms and thrusting them into view.

"I asked you what you are doing!" I screamed heatedly "How could you be so stupid!" She swayed dangerously for a second and then answered so quietly and defeatedly my heart (or what little was left of the small blackened mass)broke.

"What?" I asked dropping her arm.

"Why… why did you leave last time…" I was mystified.

"Don't try to change the subject!" I exclaimed.

"I cut because you left…" I felt guilty for a second but brushed the thought away but I know she saw the shame pass through my eyes. I wanted her to continue.

"Luke I was only eight I didn't have anyone after you left, that's when this started." she slowly turned over her other arm. You could see all the scars some deeper than others. I saw shame on her face from the times when she just wanted her life to end. And it was all because of me. I was suddenly jolted out of my thoughts by Lily.

"Luke!" I heard so much fear in her voice and before I knew it she was in my arms. I was shocked this is not how I pictured this moment (her in my arms.) I sprang to my feet and shouted help before I sprinted to the first deck. Thank the gods I was a son of Hermes.

if you were wondering what whoosh meant I was trying to show that he was like stay calm breathe in, out. I'm out of ideas so I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to stop posting for this story.(feel free to throw a party) I have the other one but I didn't have any ideas for that story in the first place. I might try to continue if you want (hint, hint haha) well hoped you enjoyed this.
