And scars, show me all the scars you hide...
Percy tried to hide them, from all his friends, even Annabeth.
Tartarus had left its mark on him. Actually, it had left many marks.
The scars were terrible. Ugly red, pink, purple, and white marks. Some went all the way down his back.
They were everywhere, reminding him of his past. His back, arms, legs, and his face, everywhere.
Percy knew he couldn't hide all of them. But he tried to hide the worst ones, like the ones on his back.
Many of them were from monsters, some from the Giant war and the second Titan war, he even had a few from fellow demigods.
The worst was a scar on his back that he got from the fight with one of the curses. It was a curse from a monster whose back he had sliced in a fight.
It was a large purple scar that ran down from the top of his spine down to the bottom. A perfect, straight, very ugly, line.
The scars were the only reason he never took his shirt of in front of everybody. Even Annabeth.
This was what he thought about while trying to sleep.
Then, he heard a creak from the door.
"Percy?" He heard Annabeths voice ask, "C-can I sleep with you tonight?"
"Of course Annabeth. Are you having flashbacks again?"
"Yes"
Annabeth lies down beside him. She starts to run a hand up and down his back.
He flinches at the feel of her hand which was running down his spine. Exactly over the scar.
Annabeth notices this, "What's wrong Perce?"
"Annabeth I've never shown you my scars from that place, have I?"
"No" she answers in a small voice.
Percy lifts up his shirt, Annabeth gasped.
"Percy why have you never shown me this before?"
"I-I didn't want to scare you."
"Percy after all we've been through you think I'd be scared of scars?"
Annabeth holds him tight, "I'm never letting you go ever again." She whispers before falling into a dreamless sleep.
