Hazel
We were back on the Argo II and we decided to just take the rest of the day off, we all know our quest is vital but we're still human and we needed some time.
Everyone was silent and grieving over Percy in their own way. I finally decided to break the ice, so I walked over to Annabeth I gave her a friendly comforting hug
"Hey, I know you probably just want some space, but if you want to talk or vent I'm here for you." She smiled and wiped the tears from her face "thanks Hazel, I
really appreciate it. I'll be fine, but what about you?" "what about me?" I asked. A slight grin crept on her face " you and Frank had become good friends with Percy
too right? How are you holding up?" I didn't really want to express my feelings but I figured it'd be better to let them out then let them bottle up inside. "well, we only
knew him for a short time but he impacted us greatly. Before Percy came Frank was unclaimed and no one seemed to like him, as for me everyone knew my godly
parent, they didn't like me much either." "why" she interjected "well romans are fond of combat and other physical activities so they don't really like Plu- I mean
Hades they fear him of course but his children aren't lets say very popular." "Oh I see, what about um Neptune?" she asked "um no he is the most unpopular Gods to
us" I realized what I had just said and I could tell Annabeth was thinking the same thing, The romans didn't really respect Percy's father yet Percy sacrificed so much
for all of us. "why is he unpopular?" "well we don't have a navy, and we never have the romans fear open sea because it is so vast and unpredictable" "Frank and I
both owe Percy so much, he's saved both of our lives at least 3 times, and he's the one that helped us earn respect and he showed the everyone that just because
your godly parent isn't necessarily popular or favored that you can still be equal with everyone else" she smiled widely " yea he's good at that" "at what?" I asked
"saving people, he has saved me too many times to count, and he's saved so many other people friends and strangers alike." "I loved him, like an older brother. He
has been there for me, If I ever needed anything he was the first I'd go to." Her face was full of pain and regret "what's wrong?" " I- I um broke up with Percy before
we left your camp, and it was such a stupid thing to do I trusted that scrawny kid and I was just so mad I didn't even ask Percy if it was true or not and then he" she
started to cry "scrawny kid?" "your augur" " Octavian!? No you didn't" I could tell my question struck hard but now I was mad, she says she dumped Percy because
that liar told her something now I don't have sympathy for her " ask if what was true" I scowled she was ready to break down but I didn't care. "he told me Percy and
the other Praetor have a romantic relationship, he said he was the camps augur and that he had seen it, and he said to ask any of the other campers and they'd tell
me, but I was so angry I didn't even bother, Percy loved me and I broke his heart I saw the pain in his eyes, and now I cant fix anything his last memories of me and
mine of him are terrible" she finally broke down sobbing in front of me I'm not heartless but I didn't care too much she hurt Percy but she was sorry for it that I could
see clearly " I'm sure he had forgiven you Annabeth, I don't think he'd hold a grudge especially not to you" "thank you hazel I don't want to be rude but I'm going to
go lay down maybe some sleep will help, if I can get any" "ok good night Annabeth" "goodnight Hazel, thank you" she responded sadly.
