XXVII- Words
"Everyone, let us begin" Said Chiron breaking the awkward silence between the people.
He went to the podium where Percy's shroud had been conveniently placed.
"Percy was a great hero." He began "He saved our camp half blood and countless lives, not to mention saving the western civilization, before I go on, I would ask one of Percy's closest friend to give some words about him. Annabeth?" He looked at me making all the other people look at me also.
I forgot that I had to make a speech for today, maybe it's because I was too distracted sulking to remember. I'll just have to improvise.
I nodded and stood up, my heart pounding from nervousness since I was not prepared, I went up to the podium and gathered my mind what to say.
"Well what is there left to say?" I started, still gathering my thoughts but I went on.
"We had been through so many trials in life that only he made it bearable to me, he gave me the strength and the willpower to do the tasks at hand." I started to stare at Percy's shroud.
"He wasn't just a friend, he was a hero. A hero to me and all his friends and family, he's an extraordinary person. And he gave his life for me." I muttered, some people started murmuring to each other but I went on.
"He was the one who took care of me, he was always sacrificing his well being just so I could get food, or water or anything for that matter." I realized that my voice started cracking.
"All those sacrificing for me led to today, I knew that if I had just been less greedy or been more understanding of him-" I stopped realizing that I already had tears in my eyes.
"He would have been here with us." I finished "I'm responsible for this mess, I'm asking for your forgiveness Percy." I said folding back the shroud to reveal his face.
His face, the face that saved my life countless times, the face that had always given me hope, the face that died for my sake, how I missed him.
"I'm sorry for doing this to you." I muttered tears falling down my cheek, dropping on his forehead. I looked toward the crowd and they had concerned looks on their eyes.
"I'm sorry" I muttered and ran off the stage. I didn't know where to run but I can't take it anymore, I couldn't let them see me like this.
I ran and I ran, but I just stumbled upon the beach. This was our beach, the place where we always talked and had fun. Memories good and bad flushed my brain, I couldn't take it anymore, I fell to my knees and began to cry.
I cried like I never cried before, I couldn't take the pain and guilt that I'm dealing with. It overwhelmed me, it took over.
I've been crying for who knows how long, but a hand caught my shoulder and I saw electric-blue eyes.
