WARNING! Just kidding. But if you plan to attempt to understand this chapter, you are going to need to read this.
My use of 'they' is NOT a way of talking about multiple people. I am only referring to 1 person. That person is being referred to differently because their gender is unknown.
EX: The person she loved was amazing, she sometimes wondering what THEY saw in her.
:)
NO Calypso is not on drugs. This is more of her subconscious during school or while doing everyday things, so it's bound to be a little bit different.
This chapter is and will be the shortest chapter of the story.
It's kind of like an epic poem. But less...epic. ;)
THIS IS the kind of the 12.5th chapter, but we're gonna call it the 13th chapter of Layers.
(CALYPSO POV...kinda)
Calypso was a bad person.
She knew she was.
What kind of person can, in their right mind, give up the best thing that's probably ever happen to them?
She loved both of them.
She really did.
But one overpowered the other.
Completely and totally.
She didn't know how to deal with all the hurt she was causing.
He didn't even know about the hurt that was about to happen.
She did though.
She was in love with one of her best friends.
Her best friend that was not her boyfriend.
There. She admitted it.
It was out in the open.
Well to her at least.
Her love knew she loved them.
But they also knew what she could not admit.
She couldn't let her former love go.
God, she sounded like such a sap.
(Line break)
Her friends probably thought she was crazy.
Well sometimes she thought she was crazy.
She couldn't tell anyone.
Except for her love.
Her love already knew.
She thought she had felt true love with her former love.
Apparently not.
He was good.
She was going to taint him.
Both of them, really.
Wait, she shouldn't give herself so much credit.
She set it up.
She set it up so that he wouldn't get hurt.
He'd have someone to fall back on.
Someone he could trust as much as he used to trust her.
She found that person for him.
Annabeth.
He would be okay.
(Line break)
"Caly."
She looked up to see her former love.
He didn't know that though. The 'former' part.
He was so beautiful. He hated being called that, but that's what he was.
His strong jaw and facial features.
His warm eyes and heart.
Even that mess at the top of his head that he called hair.
Beautiful.
She loved him, she really did.
But she remembers how it used to feel when he would smile at her.
Fireworks.
And now.
Butterflies.
And not because of attraction.
She was scared.
She had to tell him sooner or later.
So he could move on.
And she could be with her true love.
As selfish as that was.
(...)
"Caly." He waved his large hand over her eyes once more.
She snapped out of it.
"Sorry. What were you saying?"
"I was just going to ask you if you wanted to stop by your locker before you went to class, but the bell is about to ring." He said, his eyes kind.
He loved her.
Not as much as he used to.
But he still did.
Even if it was just a little bit.
She hoped it was.
"No, i'll just go to class." She said unsteadily.
He didn't notice.
That's how she knew.
He cared.
But it was no longer love.
He had already started reserving that for someone else.
He didn't know that yet though.
(Line break)
She walked into class and briefly went through the stages of seeing her love.
Excitement.
Anxiety.
Love.
And finally, contentment.
None of that prepared her for when she actually saw them.
She would probably always be like this. All soft and romantic.
Her love smiled at her.
She smiled back, but it was shaky.
They asked what was wrong.
They loved her.
She told them it was nothing.
Her love didn't believe her, but yet again, neither did she.
She made it through the first period.
Then came second.
Her love was in that class too.
They walked with her.
They talked to her.
They smiled at her.
It all made her feel like her heart would burst.
She never felt like that with him.
She didn't want him to feel responsible.
Like he made her turn away from him.
Because he didn't.
(Line break)
She didn't notice second period passing by.
She did notice, however, that her love was absent in her third in forth periods.
It made her sad.
Her love was gone for lunch too.
They didn't like eating with her.
(Line break)
She got to her favorite class period.
Fifth.
Her heartbeat accelerated as she entered the classroom.
Her love wasn't there yet.
Good.
She liked to watch them walk in.
Her past love comes through the door first.
He smiles at her.
She gives him her best grin.
Then looks back towards the door.
Next is her friend.
The new love of her former love.
The blonde.
She sits next to her and asks her how her day is going.
She does this almost everyday.
(Line break)
Calypso starts to panic.
Her love is late.
But then they walk through the door just as the bell rings.
Her love makes eye contact with her.
Her heart swells.
They walk towards her and sit down.
She grabs her love's hand under the table and greets her by name.
"Hi Cami."
If you were confused by this chapter I would advise you to scroll back up and go read my author's note. :)
SURPIRSE! (For those of you who are now looking at the screen with their jaws dropped...I would advise you to close them.)
So..Calypso is gay. And is in love with Cami. And still hasn't told Percy.
QUESTION: How do you guys feel about that?
A.N- If you happen to have a problem with anything that I write about, please don't leave a nasty comment in my reviews. :)
