Leila couldn't move, she was stuck. Frozen where she was. Percy's lips were planted on hers, so soft. Why was she even allowing him to do so? Leila couldn't help but feel a warm sensation om the pit of her stomach. It was a strange and odd feeling, but wonderful as well. It was a joyous feeling that she didn't want to let go.
Her mind finally powered back on and realized what she was doing.
"What was that for?" Percy asked clutching the left side of his face.
"You had no right to kiss me, Perseus Jackson." Leila had enough of him and his lies. How dare he think he could do that to her. Leila was not emotionally or mentally right at the moment.
"Don't tell me you didn't feel anything." He was right, she did feel something. Leila wasn't going to admit it. She didn't want to see that smirk on his face. She could already hear him say, 'I told you so'.
Leila jumped down on the forest floor, leaves crunching under her feet as she walked. Percy was nearing, the thundering of his feet gave it away. It was like a stampede.
"Leave me alone, Percy," She didn't want him to leave. "I need to think." That was useless, Percy was all she thought of.
"If that's what you want." He hesitated, but gave her a kiss on the cheek and left. It now burned where his lips came in contact with her skin.
How could a mere boy make her feel this way? Was he right when he said they were together? Leila threw herself on the bed. Stupid boys toying with her feelings. Stupid Percy for being that boy.
Leila retrieved a picture from under her pillow. It was of when she was younger, maybe eight, with Percy. She found it when she returned to her cabin from the infirmary. He was right about one thing, they were childhood friends. As she looked at her younger self, she noticed fear and sadness lingered in her hazel eyes. Was it fear of someone? Percy told her that her father did unthinkable things to her, but her never went in depth. He seemed to cringe whenever she brought it up. Is that where the fear came from? But what of the sadness? It was a mystery to her.
Even with the walls of her cabin, she could hear the shouts of the campers. Leila was tempted to grab her weapon and shoot each and everyone of them just to get some quiet. Much like the forest, which made her wonder why she left. Then Percy overtook her brain. Yes, that's why. Stupid boy for ruining her precious silence.
Ever since she lost her memory Leila never liked mornings, so she never woke up. One of the campers had to wake her. Most of the time it was either Nicky, Nate, or Percy.
"Leila, it's time to wake up," A finger poked her face. She swatted it away lazily. "Alright, you give me no choice." A heavy burden was placed on her back, she heard it crack.
"Nathanial, get off me!" Leial tried to wiggle out from under him. It was no use.
"Do you promise to get up?"
"Yes."
The weight was taken off, but quickly back on. "And not to fall back asleep after I leave?"
She sighed, "Yes, Nate, can you just please get off me? You're going to break my back."
"Fine, I can see I'm not wanted." He said childishly and walked out the door. Leila rolled her eyes at his antics.
Knowing that he would return to see that she was awake, she began her day to save her back from further pain. Leila was running her hand through her dripping short hair when there was knock on the door. It must be Nate, but it was unusual for him to knock.
"Nate, I'm up-" It wasn't him, but Annabeth and Percy doing the cabin check. She had completely forgotten it was today.
Annabeth seemed to be glowing with happiness, while Percy seemed irritated. Leila didn't see why Percy hated her, she was a sweet girl.
"I'm so sorry, I thought it was Nate to see if I was awake."
Annabeth smiled. "It's alright."
Percy stared at her which caused a soft pink to rise to her cheeks.
They walked around looking at the nearly empty cabin. It was clean, but not perfect. Percy hovered over her bed. Leila knew what he was looking at, the picture. He held it tightly in his hands, as if he held it any tighter it would disintegrate.
"You still have this?" He didn't take his eyes off the picture. It was a shame, she wanted to see them. She wanted his eyes to make her feel that warmth once again.
"U-Um, yes. I was hoping it help me remember," She said quietly. If she wasn't looking at him, the she probably wouldn't have noticed the tears in his eyes. It broke her heart. "Percy-"
"Alright, you get a four out of five. Good job, Leila," Annabeth cut in. "Come on, Percy." She practically dragged him out of there. His eyes never left hers. The warm feeling came back.
All she wanted to do was say sorry for not remembering him. Not being able to reciprocate his feelings, although she wasn't sure what her feelings were. She wanted to comfort him and dry his eyes because she knew she was the source of the tears. She wanted to tell him that he makes her heart beat a hundred miles per minute. She wanted to say anything so he could see him smile again. Now she couldn't, all because Annabeth stepped in.
I'm sorry to leave you all like that! Hopefully I can update tomorrow, but I can't update over the weekend because I'm with me dad. Stupid dad for ruining my writing. Haha. Review! :)
