14. One of the hardest things in life is watching the person you love, love someone else.
He loves her; she loves him.
He really knows he should be happy for her, but he can't bring himself to do so. It just makes him so damn angry when he sees them laughing like idiots together. What did Will have that he doesn't? It's not like Will's any better than he is.
But apparently Katie thinks differently.
And it makes him feel so damn… broken inside. He loves her, can't she freaking see that?
No, of course not. She's too wrapped up in Will's arms, too busy even for her gardening. She's Katie Gardner, for the gods' sake! Since when does Katie find no time for her favorite hobby?
He tells himself to be happy for her, because if she's happy, then he should be too. But he can't do it. It's so hard to see them together, almost unbearable. Doesn't she know how much it affects him?
The pranks have dwindled, and everyone's happy about that, except the other children of Hermes, of course(mainly Connor—"Get off your lazy ass and help me with this gods' damned prank! She's just a girl, you'll get over her by tomorrow!"—), but it's just different. The Stoll Brothers' pranks had long been a part of the camp's tradition, and now that it was practically half gone…
Eventually, he moves on. He still loves her, everyone and anyone with eyes knows that. She's happy with Will Solace, and he accepts that. But it's still so hard for him, he'll never get over that. It's probably the hardest thing he's done, and he's done pretty damn hard things (Fighting Kronos? Stealing the Aphrodite Cabin's entire supply of makeup? Not easy deeds.)
He honestly doesn't know how much longer he can go seeing her love someone, else without saying something.
