Thalia's POV:
I had enough of the guessing game I needed to know what Percy was keeping. Nico and I know we shouldn't pry, but his behaviour is worrying us and we don't know what to do. Although, we have the same classes he has found a way to avoid us through every class. Every time we look at him during class, he looks like he's been crying or is depressed. We have no idea why though.
I looked at Nico and noticed he had the same look about him. It was time to confront our cousin. So we made our way to the dorm I share with him. We knocked on the door.
*Knock Kncok* "Percy?! Are you in there?" We called. When there was no reply we went in. What we saw shocked us. He crying hysterically into his pillow his body shaking with sobs. I have never seen my cousin cry. My instincts wanted to make me run up to him and hug him, but I stopped myself from doing that. He didn't notice we were in the room. I could tell this because he was still crying and didn't make any move to show he noticed us.
Nico being Nico, cleared his throat to get his attention. When Percy noticed we saw him crying he started to panic, so I did the natural thing and I hugged him. I saw Nico come, and join the hug. Percy started sobbing again but then he started hicupping and he calmed down after a while, but he still was sniffling, so we asked him what's wrong.
Percy's POV:
I had just returned to my dorm after classess, when I realized that Thalia and Nico were getting suspicious. I wanted to tell them so bad and get it off my chest, but I was afraid that they will hate me or be mean towards me so I kept quiet. I started crying thinking about what they might say. I was crying hard because I knew they would never accept me. Just like Chad. I know I shouldn't listen to him, but he said that even though me, Thalia, and Nico are family they will never accept me due to the fact I was born evil.
So as I said I started crying, because I knew it was true. I let out heart-wrenching sobs. I knew it. I was a failure. I was an idiot. It was my fault people had died. If I had not been around they would never have died. But deep down I know that if I didn't do what I did more of my friends would've died.
While sobbing I thought I heard someone call my name, but I shrugged it off as nothing. Since I was still crying I didn't notice anyone entered my room until I heard someone clear his throat. That someone was Nico. I the realized that they had noticed I was crying. I started to panic. They would surely hate me now. They will think I am weak, and stupid. These thoughts brought more tears to my eyes.
Then something I didn't expect happened. They came over and hugged. While they hugged me, I had started to cry again. After a while I had calmed down and they wanted to know what was wrong, but I didn't want to tell them just yet.
Nico's POV:
I noticed Thalia was thinking hard about confronting Percy. He was acting so strange. It was like he thought he could avoid us forever. Well too bad, because that is kind of hard. When she looked in my direction I knew it was time to go confront.
We walked toward his dorm and knocked. *Knock Kncok* "Percy?! Are you in there?" We called. When there was no reply we went in. What we saw shocked us. He crying hysterically into his pillow his body shaking with sobs. Percy was the strongest person I know. Seeing him cry made me sad that he was feeling hurt, but didn't want to talk about it.
After a while I cleared my throat to get his attention. When Percy noticed we saw him crying he started to panic, so Thalia went up and hugged him. After a few seconds I joined them. Percy started sobbing again. After he calmed down, we asked him what's wrong.
