Day 94
Dear Seaweed Brain,
Do you know who you've left here who's completely heartbroken that you're gone? Besides me, of course? Your mother. Do you understand how worried she is? How torn up she and Paul are over your disappearance? Did you even think about them before you went and...left us? Not that it's your fault, Percy. But it is your responsibility to come back to us. Because holy Hephaestus, if you die on me, I swear I will kill you.
Sorry, I'm getting off topic. I wanted to tell you that I've been visiting your mom recently. Actually, for weeks now. I hope you don't mind. I never realized how funny she was. And wow, can she cook! She is such a strong woman. We've been sitting together, crying together, trying to convince ourselves that you're okay. And the whole time she's been so positive that everything will work out. Being with them, with Paul and Sally, it almost feels like a family. A real family that I may have missed out on when I ran away. Of course, it would never be complete without you there, Seaweed Brain. So promise me. Promise me that you'll come back, and we can have that safe, secure feeling together that home offers. That I might actually have hope, out here in this crazy, stupid, monster-filled world. Hope that comes from knowing that as long as I have you by my side, nothing can really hurt me. Oh gods, I'm starting to sound like a child of Aphrodite.
Look at what you're doing to me, Percy!
Love,
Your messed up, lovesick girl,
Annabeth
