A Short Drabble. Plot: Annabeth leaves Percy because He was holding her back. He expresses his emotions through a letter.

Dear Annabeth,

When we broke up, I was heartbroken. I lost not just the person I was completely in love with. I lost my best friend. I lost my confidant.

I lost a part of myself.

But looking back, I think this was for the best. I used to think you completed me. Made me whole. But now even without you, I am complete. I found someone who love me not for my looks or money, but for what's underneath.

I still love you. I 'm not supposed to say it. But that's the truth. A part of me will always love you.

From the first moment we met, I knew there was something different about you. We were so young. Maybe you were the first person to treat me kindly.

When we were first in love, you taught me a lot. About love and hurt. You gave me hope that I, a broke, can be loved. I thought that 'we' meant something. I thought you meant it when you said you'd always be around for me.

I couldn't have been happier with you.

I want to thank you for all the beautiful moments you gifted me. It may not be real to you, but it was to me.

I may have had empty pockets, but I promised you that I will always give you a good life. The one in which you will be treated as a queen.

My Queen.

Yet, you deceived me. You betrayed me and threw me away like some cheap toy.

You left me to die.

You are the one who loved me the most, and you are the one who gave me a pain that I cannot forget.

You were not my mistake, you were a lesson. A chapter that I struggled on but learned well.

I won't hold on to you because I know I deserve better.

I deserve someone who sees me for what I am and would never leave me to search for more.

I won't be the same anymore. I will change for the better. Because I know I will have beautiful relationships later, which I won't ruin for the sake of you.

For the sake of our beautiful memories, I forgive you.

I forgive you for all the scars you have gifted me. I forgive you for all the broken promises. I forgive you for leaving me at my worst.

I forgive you for breaking my heart.

I have now come to terms with it. Nothing lasts forever. I knew it was too good to be true. At first, I barely knew losing you was even a possibility. My head was in the clouds, in dreamland with you. It was naïve, I didn't have my guard up. Love is a battlefield and I forgot to wear my armour. It's a mistake many make. And it cost me.

Months of brooding and sulking. Hundreds of tears shed. Scars marred my heart. It was not the same anymore.

I just want to give you one advice. What you did with me, never do it with a person whom you are with right now, because I know it hurts.

It hurts to be used and thrown away.

From,

Perseus Jackson, A boy with once-a Broken Heart.

Some days I wish I were a little boy again because broken bones were easier to fix than a broken heart.
