Favorite Words of Wisdom: A wise man once said, "I don't know, go ask a woman."

Okay, I'm really sorry for not updating in so long! I was sick yesterday and didn't feel like writing and I was a bit busy reading this super long story so…. Yeah, I haven't really written anything. By the way, have any of you seen Breaking Dawn Part 1? Is it good or what? I saw the midnight showing and I can't wait until Part 2 comes out!

Sorry, I'll get back on topic. Just read and I promise there's a chance you'll like it!

Allie's P.O.V.

I was falling fast. There was nothing like falling from a 16th story balcony in the early evening! Yeah right! Definitely not my thing!

I was screaming at the top of my lungs and wishing I had never jumped off that stupid balcony! Below I saw people swarming and cameras being pulled out. Some women were screaming and I felt like screaming, "Why are you screaming? I'm the one falling!"However, I just bit my lip and hoped it would be over soon. It wasn't long before I noticed Thalia, Nico, Jason, Piper, Leo, Annabeth, Percy, Lauren, and Hayden. They were standing and watching in horror.

"Allie! Stop, please stop falling!" Lauren screamed. I wished I could obey her. I wished I could stop. But I couldn't. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't stop. I felt a cold shiver roll up my spine as I saw the balcony that was coming closer and closer. I closed my eyes and braced myself for the impact that was sure to come.

A moment passed. Another passed, then another, and another, until I opened my eyes to see. I wasn't falling. It was like time had just stopped. It was like a bungee cord was attached to my back and I had been pulled up before impact. I felt a grin spread across my face and I looked up and made a move to fly. Almost immediately, I was flying upward. I was so busy smiling at my new power that I didn't notice the balcony above. I slammed into it and fell quickly. My body felt as if I had been run over by a semi, been squashed by a giant robot, and then squashed by that fat girl I had met in 3rd grade, all in one day.

I groaned and got up. As I looked around, I noticed a small table with candles and flowers, along with tons of food. I looked some more and noticed a couple glaring at me as if to say, Stupid kid falling from the sky! You're ruining the mood! Of course, I may be wrong but I didn't want test it so I just backed up and fell over the railing, down where my friends were. Cheering and screams were heard below as I fell, but it was no were near as high up as earlier. I didn't bother to fly; it was so low, I could land on my feet without even popping my ankles.

My friends ran over to me and started speaking in rushed tones.

"How'd you do that?"

"Are you alright?"

"Why'd you jump?"

"It's about time you figured out how to do that!"

I spun around to see who said that. It was Jason and he was grinning at me.

"What do you mean? You knew I could fly?" I said angrily. He shrugged.

"I assumed. I could but I wasn't sure if you could. Thals can't and I'm pretty sure Andy can't either." I sighed and was about to answer him but was interrupted by some reporter.

"Excuse me miss, did you just jump off a 16 story balcony and land on the ground unscathed? If so, how did you do it?" I rolled my eyes and smiled sweetly. I put my arm around Andy, surprising her.

"Yes, you see my sister and I decided to freak out our friends by me jumping off the balcony. We did it by staging a fight and then tying a string on me. I jumped and the string held me up. It broke when I slammed into the balcony. I was able to land on my feet because I'm an acrobat in training," I explained sweetly and waved good bye to her. I led all my friends into the hotel. As soon as we left her earshot, we burst into laughter.

"Acrobat, seriously?" Thalia managed to choke out. I shook my head and grinned.

"Sorry, it was the best I could think of." We laughed until we got to our rooms. Right as we were about to depart, Andy looked at me cautiously.

"Does this mean you forgive me?" she asked timidly. My face turned to stone and I gave her a cold stare before turning and slamming the door of the room I shared with the other girls shut. Behind the door, I heard Andy whisper, "I guess that's a no." I rolled my eyes and quickly changed into my pajamas. I crawled under the covers and hoped they wouldn't question me.

The girls came in a moment later and Thalia said angrily, "What are you so mad about now?" I didn't say anything and she sighed in frustration. They got changed for bed and the lights were out. I lay there thinking about what had happened. A certain memory was playing in the back of my mind. I closed my eyes and allowed it to take over.

I was in the Zeus cabin and was so angry at my sister I felt as if I would explode. Nico walked in suddenly and looked directly at me.

"Allie you better find some way to make her stay. You know you want her to and you need to figure out a way to do it." I sighed and looked around. My eyes rested on a piece of paper and a pencil. I quickly grabbed it and started to write.

Dear Andy,

Look I'm really sorry. To be honest, I have missed you all these years. But, I've also been jealous all these years. You had told me I would regret not going to them with you and its true; I did. But it was too late and I had to just suck it up and endure, and hope the pain went away. It did. Mom would beat me and beat me until I no longer thought of it as pain; I thought of it as just something I deserved.

Look, what I'm trying to say is, I want you to stay. But, you've lived in a world in which people love and care about you. I haven't. Ever since you were eight years old, you've grown up in a place where you didn't have to worry about if you were going to eat or if you would be beaten today. You didn't wake up and wonder what you'll do to deserve today's beating. You didn't worry about that. Therefore, I believe that you probably won't make it here. You won't be able to live in these conditions in which you'll wake up every day wondering if you'll live to see the next. Because of this, I want you to go home. Go home and be with your adoptive family. It kills me to say this, but don't come back. There's a roman camp in San Francisco. If you get overrun by monsters, go there. Pretend you're roman and they'll take you in. In fact, there's a possibility they'll take you in even thought you aren't a roman. Go there and you'll be safe. This probably doesn't make any sense, but I love you and believe that it will be better for both of us if we just stayed away from each other. Please don't make it any harder than it already is. I love you and I hope you feel the same about me. You are still my twin and will always be a person I care deeply about. But, I know you will be happier if you just forgot about me. Know this before you leave: I will forever cherish the happier memories of when we were together and will try to forget those in which weren't the happiest. I hope you will do the same.

Your twin,

Allie

I finished the letter and reread it. Satisfied, I turned to Nico and handed it to him with directions to give it to Andy as she leaves. Before he could ask if I would be coming to say goodbye, I said I wouldn't and then told him goodnight. I fell asleep upset yet very satisfied that she will know I love her but that it would make things easier on the both of us if she didn't see me again.

I fell into a deep sleep, remembering this and wondering if I really was right; or if I was just naive to think of this and we really were meant to be close twins and the best of friends. Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I should apologize for being mad and invite her to come back. Maybe I should.

So yeah, this is the end of the chapter. I brought in the letter and hope you like it. It kind of drones on about what Allie had to endure but that was the point. It was supposed to tell Andy that Allie will always be her sister and will always love her but Andy wasn't ready for this. She shouldn't have to live like Allie did. Basically, Allie just wants her sister to be safe and the only way to do that is to not be with her. That's all.

Anyways, thanks for all your reviews and hope you decide to review some more. I will try to update more often. Thanks for reading and just so you know; I was half asleep when I wrote this so if it's not good enough, blame my sleepiness! Oh, and this is officially the longest chapter I have written! I'm so proud of my self!
