The 7 plus, Nico, Will and Thalia (who was on vacation from the Hunters and the preaters were too) were bored.

"Hey lets sneak into my cabin and steal some make up. We'll have a contest to see who's the best at it." Piper suggested cheerfully.

"Sure nothing better to do anyways." Jason agreed

"Ugh why make up its so.. girly." Thalia, Percy and Nico all grumbled under their breaths. Everyone heard and started laughing at how similar the 3 were even though they would never admit it.

When they got to Aphrodite cabin Piper went in to make sure the cost was clear. Since it was the middle of the year it wasn't a problem. Most Aphrodite kids left camp during the year. Piper rummaged through the massive collection of makeup bags and took everything out.

"Ok this should be good right." Piper asked

"Do you also expect the boys to put on makeup Neauty Queen. Seriously did you think about the other gender here." Leo voiced what all the boys (besides maybe Will) and Thalia were thinking.

"Come on it'll be fun."

"Yea come on girlfriends it's time to teach the boys makeup. Will you can teach Nico and.."

"Well then there no one left to teach me make up I guess I can go." Thalia interrupted Annabeth.

"Oh no Thals your staying here I can teach two people make up I think."

"Ugh you are so annoying." Thalia grumbled back.

Well Annabeth thought she was going to be teaching two people makeup, both Thalia and Percy but Percy was weirdly good at doing it.

"Hey Lerce looks like you unleashed your inner fashionista." Leo said. Thalia, Jason and Nico snickered. "Yea who knew a boy could be so good at makeup." Hazel added.

"Yea well when I was younger, I tought myself how to cover up marks from Mom. I didn't want her to worry." Percy answered not looking at anyone.

Annabeth, Thalia, Nico and Will all looked concerned.

"Um percy I can kinda sence depression being the head healer and all and.."

Percy cut off Will saying "yea yea you can sense when people need help, yoj told me a million times trying to get stuff out of me. Let me guess you just want to know why there sadness in my voice. Well I can't hide any longer so." Percy paused and looked around everyone was concerned for him. Annabeth squeezed his soldier reassuringly, Nico and Jason stepped closer, Frank held a pale Hazel both scared of what percy was going to say. "You guys know Paul right."

A round of yeses and duhs went around the group.

"Well he wasn't always around before him was.." Percy cut off. When was the last time he went there, to that place in his mind that kept those memories.

"Leo how do you constantly think back about the people who hurt you, I can barely even get close to it." Leo didn't know what to say so he just answered "well that's just who I am I guess." Percy continued. "Well before him was Gabe he.." percy couldn't get the words out his eyes were unfocused.

"You don't have to tell us anything Percy." Annabeth calmly told him. "Its been long enough, I've been through so much more I can do this." There was determination in his eyes to tell his friends about his past. He only ever told grover, years ago when he told him about his scent and all that. Now it was time to let everyone else know.

"He abused me, he.. he hurt me. Bruises, broken bones. I had to cover it all up from mom she couldn't know." He took a deep breath before continuing. "The bulling at school weren't much better either some of those kids knew how to fight, and why not take there problems out on the scrawny, dyslexic, ADHD kid who was the dumbest in the grade." Hazel's hands flew to her mouth as she realized what he meant.

"Percy we didn't know that. Any of this." Frank said holding onto a shocked and horrified Hazel.

"Well I couldn't go back to it, no one asked so who cares."

"We all care Percy." Annabeth whispered into Percy's ear to comfort him.

"We all care kelp head your the one who rather live in his pain alone." Thalia said sternly. Being the big sister of the Big 3 kid group, she was definitely scared. Percy was like her little brother tk her. She hated when any of her 'siblings' got hurt. "How did you get rid of all that." Jason carefully asked. "Well in high school I wasn't the scrawny dumbbutt anymore and look like I could punch those mortals harder than they could punch me. So they were nice upfront but I'm pretty sure most of them talked behind my back, but I had better things to worry about back then. Well as for Gabe." A sadistic smile spread across Percy's face.

"Is that what you did to it."Annabeth asked, wide eyed.

"Did what with what." Everyone asked at the same time.

Percy continued. "I think either me, Annabeth or Grover told u guys how we killed Medusa and sent her head to Olympus, right." The demig-ds knew this albeit it was seriously weird, but they nodded their heads. "Well dad sent it back home, I mean he sent us some sculpting tools. Some art weirdo bought it for tons of money then we deposed of the tools. By the way we are never going to the SOHO Art Gallery." Percy got tons of weird looks but no explanation was needed they all understood what had happened. Leo realized just how similar he really was to percy. "I guess we both use humor to get passed our old lives." "Yea I guess so." Then Jason spoke up "hey scares are just tattoos with better stories." ( I'm really sorry I forgot who wrote that but it was from a one shot on I do not take any credit for coming up with that line.) And with that a little more was known about Percy's old life. It wasn't as happy as people thought it was. Well demig-ds never have good lives before and especially not after all they go threw.

_ok I know this is pretty bad but hey its my 3rd one-shot and my first one to hit 1,000 words I'm pretty proud, even though this story is garbage. Its not even original its from a head canon I saw and a story on called 'Scares Are Just Tattoos with Better Stories' I think I'm sorry I don't remember who wrote it but uh yea hope you liked it.

Another chapter straight from whatpad the next chapter is a better one. Key word better and not good.
