ANGER, APOLOGIES, AND AMAZEMENT

A FEW CHAPTERS AGO:-

Sammy's smile soon slipped off, when he took in a sobbing Emily.

AFTER:-

Sammy rushed to her side in an instant.

"Oh my gods, Emily! Are you okay? Are you hurt? If so, who hurt you?", he rapid-fired questions at her, as he tried in vain to rouse her out of her stupor.

"L-L-Luke!", she managed to whimper out.

Sammy was seriously taken aback.

"W-W-What?"

How could a guy, whose fatal flaw was his loyalty, hurt someone as sweet as Emily?

"Not physically!", Emily assured him, taking in his shocked expression.

"Well, then, what did he say to you?", Sammy asked, bewildered.

"He-he said t-that h-he didn't l-like m-me!", and with this, she burst into more heart-breaking tears.

"Oh, Em!", he said sadly, "I'm sorry, but if he doesn't like and appreciate you, then he doesn't realize what an amazing person he's missing out on! Your beautiful, your brave, your strong, and anybody who doesn't see that is a fool!"

"Y-you really t-think so?", Emily sniffled, drying her tears on her sleeve.

"Of course! And so do Mary, and Silenna, and Biance, and Tom, and Charlie, Julie, mom and dad, uncle Nico, uncle Will, and the whole entire camp! You're the light in the darkness, Em! You always help us find a way, and you're the closest person to perfect. And-", Sammy shrugged, "- If Luke doesn't see that, then he doesn't deserve you"

"Thank you, brother!", she said, tackling him into a bear hug.

"Your welcome, Em!", he said, laughing, "Now, go and talk to Luke, I'm sure you'll work it out"

Emily sat on her bed, staring at her phone. She could literally feel Luke's eyes on her back.

Maybe he wants to make up too, Emily thought to herself.

She went back to perusing boxes of donuts on her phone, as her make-up gift to Luke.

MEANWHILE:-

Luke blinked once again as Chelsea gave him another dazzling smile.

What about Emily?, a tiny voice in his heart seemed to say.

Who?, his mind seemed to reply.

It was like his body was being pulled in two different directions. Suddenly, he felt really exhausted. He wanted to crash in his bed and sleep forever.

"How about a kiss for your girlfriend", Chelsea said, leaning in...

Emily burst into Luke's house without knocking. She was much too used to this house. As she walked into the hall, she could not belive her eyes.

A tall girl with chestnut blonde hair was leaning onto Luke, just in the process of giving him a kiss.

Her heart felt like it was being torn out of her chest and being slammed back in. She suddenly felt like she wanted to cuddle up in a dark corner and die.

She ran up to the couple, and wrenched them apart. She turned to look at Luke.

"How could you?", she whispered, "HOW COULD YOU?! I HATE YOU! GO TO TARTARUS!",she screamed, raising her hand and slapping him hard across the face, before running off.

Luke felt the effect of the potion leave him. He didn't know if it was Emily slapping him, or the hurt in her voice when she screamed at him. Or maybe it was just his willpower.

Even as Emily ran off, he started regaining his senses. Everything crashed down on him. Realization struck him, and he took off after her, screaming her name.

Emily burst into her and Mary's room. She nearly puked. Mary and Tom were sitting on her bed. Making out.

OH MY GODS! No, she thought.

"Ahem!", she coughed, her face flushing red.

Tom and Mary turned towards her, their faces more red than hers, if that was even possible.

"I-uh-I should probably leave", Tom said, rushing out of the room.

Emily looked at Mary, and couldn't help but gag.

"OK, OK!", Mary snapped, "What's wrong with you?", she asked, her voice filling with concern, as she took in Emily's puffy, red eyes.

Emily took a deep breath, "I'm leaving", she said.

Mary didn't cry or burst into hysterical tears.

"Why? And where?"

"Because love. And I'm joining the hunters"

Luke knew it was wrong to eavesdrop. But he couldn't help it. He put his ear against Emily and Mary's room's door. He caught the last partof their conversation.

"-I'm joining the hunters"

Grief and hurt tore at his heart. He knew he should go in, take her in his arms and stop her from leaving. Stop her from leaving her friends. Her family. The camp. And...HIM.

But he couldn't move. It was like he was paralyzed. There was no way that she would listen to him. Especially now. But there were some people he could talk to...to try and talk her out of it...

Aphrodite looked down at the mess she had made by accident. She felt sad, for she loved love. But she knew she couldn't fix this one. But, there was somebody wh could...

She rushed off to make a very important I.M.
