-Annabeth
I had a dream last night. It scared me so much. It was dark, I couldn't see anything at all. After standing still for so long, I decided to try walking. I started to hear voice and tried to follow them. I could hear all my friends. I could hear Percy and Travis and Thalia and Nico and my mom and dad and I even heard Luke.
"Annabeth took my heart and stomped on it! Worthless" Travis. I felt my hear squeeze.
"She's such a slut." Thalia. A little tighter.
"I wish she would just die!" Nico. Even more.
"She's a disgrace. My biggest mistake." Mom. I lost my breath.
"I agree. Annabeth should have just stayed away from my new family. Can't she see she could never be a part of it?" Dad. I was suffocating.
"I should have never saved her. Would have saved us a lot of trouble." Luke. The tears pinched at the edges of my eyes.
"I hate her. I regret ever meeting her." Percy. My knees buckled and I felt under the weight of my tears.
I screamed as the pain filled me. Their voices kept saying mean thing, about how horrible I was. About how they wished they never meant me. About how they all hated me. Percy's hurt the worst. The fact that he said her heated me reminded me of how much I loved him.
"I'm sorry!" I yelled out, my voice cracking. "I love you Percy! So much and I'm sorry!"
It was no use, the voices wouldn't stop. I grabbed onto my ears. "Just make it stop! Please just make it stop!"
I woke up then. I jolted up in my bed and banged my head against bunk above me. The worst part was that I could still here the voices. They kept murmuring in the back of my mind and I couldn't think. I couldn't do anything except listen to them. I had to listen to them tell me how horrible I am and how I should hate who I was. I listened for hours, then I knew what I had to do.
I knew I couldn't hide anymore. I was going to end this, one way or the other.
