So right now, I know you were all expecting to see an actual update, and I'm incredibly sorry to that I got your hopes up. Plus, this is like the 2nd or 3rd author's note that I've typed out to you guys, and it's making me a little sad. I just don't know what to do with this story. I have my plot line, but I don't actually know how to carry it out. The chapters are getting shorter, and few and far between. During the summer I'd type about 3 chapters a night, 5-6 pages each and now you guys are lucky to get a measly paragraph :( I basically sit around and listen to music and try to inspire myself (I'm currently listening to One Direction) and it isn't working. Should I hand this off to one of you guys? I could just give pointers, or you guys could tell me what to do. I don't know. I just can't think of anything dramatic to happen. I've got all these ideas and I don't know how to really use them. This is supposed to be a really long fic and I'm stuck on chapter freaking 13! So yeah... depression. This is going to be suuuuuuuper short.

Chapter 13: Calypso

(This is all her POV)

I saw him talking to his friend, the baseball player. I watched the way he watched him and I watched the way the lady behind the front desk watched him. It seems the whole world has an intense infatuation with him and it's incredibly confusing. He seems completely average. Normal. Mundane. Everyday. Insignificant. Irrelevant. All these words flood my mind when I look at this kid and I can't fathom what in hell would make Percy so nervous around him. It's almost annoying.

Percy's green eyes track his every move. He's wearing all black and his skin is pale and he's thin and he seems kind of sick. His name is Nico. He's kind of cute, but he's definitely not my type and he seems totally and completely aloof to others' reactions to him. He can't see how much Percy adores him. I'm sure he's on some kind of pedestal in Percy's mind and again; it's unnerving.

They go back to Percy's room and I want to follow them and maybe introduce myself, show that there is an actual person that Percy adores more than him. But I'm afraid. I'm afraid that this kid'll just look at me and shoot me down and tell Percy I'm not worth it and those sea green eyes will shatter, and Percy will just along with it. I don't want it to happen. I don't want another person to leave me.

I'm not sure how I feel about Percy.

And I sit and contemplate this as I wait for Nico to finally leave.

I like the way his hair is messy and he's really cute, in a scruffy skater boy kind of way. You can tell he's not clean cut, but he's not too bad. Maybe a little bit of a trouble maker, but no girl, I'm sure, could resist his eyes and his smile. And when he laughs... god when he laughs, it's incredible. I wanna go all cliche and say he lights up my world (Like nobody else) and that I'd follow him just about anywhere. But I can't because he does make me a little nervous. He's a wild card. A live wire. He's one of those people that need constant affection, and I don't know if I can do that. What if he's all down and in the dumps and I just can't handle it? Then I'm no better than his old girlfriend and he'll end up in another rehabilitation center and I don't want to do that to him. But can I stay away from him?

I return to my room more confused than ever.
