-Annabeth
I can't believe I'm about to say this, but I need counseling from Aphrodite. Mainly because I can't tell my mother about every stupid thing that's happened to me so far because she's say I was a disgrace and banish me. I can't take that from Athena. I'd rather hear Aphrodite say I'm stupid than Athena call me her greatest mistake.
No matter who I go to, I just have to talk about this. Before, I was sure I could handle the guilt on my own, now I know I can't. What happened today is how I actually realized it. I was knife fighting with one of my siblings when Percy came into the arena and started cheering for me. I began to feel guilty, thinking about how I'd hurt him, and wasn't paying attention. Because of this stupidity, the fight ended with me getting a nasty cut. Percy tried to convince me to take it easy for a while but I couldn't listen, if I didn't kept moving I'd feel more guilty. Long story short, I fell off the rock wall and almost broke my ankle.
Now, I'm in the infirmary. Chiron said that my ankle was only twisted but should just stay over night and rest so it can heal. Also, he wanted me to make sure the cut I'd received wouldn't get infected. Basically that means I'm not allowed to get up until I'm perfectly find again. At least Percy went and got my diary thing so I would have something to do.
Percy is so sweet. I mean, first he tries to bandage my arm all by himself, next he carried me all the way to the infirmary when I fell, then he even got my diary so I wouldn't feel completely alone when he couldn't be here. Percy even kept me company for a few hours and offered to help me to dinner so I wouldn't have to eat alone. I'm such an idiot for even thinking of hurting him!
I'm going to talk to Travis. I need to make it perfectly clear that there can be nothing else between us. He's a nice guy and all but I love Percy. I really do! I know I'll end up hurting something but that's the way it always is, right? I know it's a lot to hope for but I hope we're all still friends after this.
Please, Lady Hera, forget about that curse for now!

Sorry for the wait. I didn't have time to update for the last two days. I'll try to add another chapter later if I can to make up for it! Thanks for reading and review!
