Yay guys! This is our tenth chapter! I'm trying sooo hard to update as much as I can before school starts. All I know right now, is that I probably won't update on Monday, and for sure not Tuesday. Back to school nights, obviously. Tomorrow, I'm going school shopping, so not tomorrow either. I will try to update Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday. Thursday, I start school, so yeah. I just finished Gathering Blue, so lucky for you guys, I'm giving you a long chapter. I know I said I'll put everything in the bottom A.N, but it just didn't work for me. Anyways, enjoy!

Shoutouts:

TigerL1ly81: Thanks. Is this soon enough for you?

Wade98: Yeah, me too.

SylviaHunterOfArtemis: No problem, and thanks. I like your new profile picture.

Pink lady of love: Thanks. I thought I didn't go into much detail. Or maybe that's because I just read Gathering Blue, and Lois Lowry is like the best author, and great at describing things, so yeah.

Musiclover4ever: Love the name. And thanks.

GryffindorPoseidonsDivergents: Okay, I'll do him. And sure, I'm scared of what will happen if I don't let you...😨 Lol. If you're on a computer u probably can't see that but it's a scared emoji.

Lost-In-A-New-World: Thanks. Yeah, I know, it's just, this is supposed to be sad until the end, and I've got a bit more to go. Yeah, I'm running out of happy ideas.

Giraffesplaycello: Wow, really? There aren't any beavers in my area. But if there were, I would so do that. And when I was younger, my cousins used to always call him Justin Beaver. It's not because they were young and couldn't say things right. It was because my brother tortured them with Baby. Yeah. He's so annoying, that he'll annoy 3 year olds. Even the youngest one hated it. If you think that's crazy, you should read the comments on the video for his new song. Just saying, he didn't rock edm. Skrillex did . 😒

Okay, so the song for this one is I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston. It's just the song I'm listening to right now, so now I'm bringing back Anna!

"Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the baddest of them all?." -Mystery Movie. If you can name what new movie that is from, you win a chapter dedicated to you! Yay! If you can name the song, you also get a batch of cookies! 😁

Wow that was a long AN. Anyways, enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson or Gathering Blue. Or the song I Will Always Love You.

Frank's POV

I used to think of Leo as an annoying little elf that can make stuff. I didn't hate him, I was just not that close to him. Especially with the whole Sammy thing. But now that I've seen some of his memories, I realize there's more to him than I thought.

As I was thinkin about all this, Hazel nudged me to show that the next memory was starting.

This next memory showed Anna, this time, a bit older. She was wearing a blue tank top with denim shorts. Her brown hair was in a ponytail. She was wearing blue rim glasses. She was staring at Leo. Anna was sitting at a small table in a cafeteria. Leo was nearby, a few tables away, flirting with some girl.

Typical.

Leo was 12 in this memory, and so was Anna. She had long, curly chestnut hair with amber highlights. Her eyes were a bright blue. She looked pretty, but not pep squad pretty.

"So, Penelope, you free Friday night?" Leo wiggled his eyebrows.

A boy with blonde hair and blue eyes appeared and put his perfectly tanned arm around her shoulders. He raised an eyebrow. "You were saying?"

Penelope twirled a lock of her hair. "Sorry, Leo. You didn't give me the chance to say that I have a boyfriend, Chase. However," she picked up his hands. "You will find the perfect girl. Maybe what you need to do, is look behind you, instead of in front of you." She let go of his hands and walked away, her boyfriend giving her a side hug.

Leo sat down at Anna's table, not noticing Anna.

"Hey, Leo." Anna was blushing furiously.

Leo jumped in his seat, obviously startled to find somebody sitting there.

"Oh. Hey, um, what's your name?"

It was obvious as Anna bit her lip, that she was trying hard not to cry.

"Anna. Anna Thomas."

He held out his hand for her to shake. After hesitating, she shook it.

"So, um, what's wrong?" She looked at him.

He sighed. "I just don't think I will find the perfect girl. I've tried and tried but every girl I ask either already has a girlfriend or doesn't like me."

She smiled. "Maybe you're looking in the wrong place."

He scoffed. "Yeah, right. I know what happens if I look somewhere else." He had a pained look on his face, as if he was remembering a painful memory.

Come on, Anna. You can do this.

"Do you-" Briiiing. The bell rang. Leo got up.

"You were saying?"

"N-Nothing, nothing."

Leo shrugged, then walked off to his next class. Anna placed her head in her arms. "I hate my life."

The memory changed. Now it showed Anna, with her straight brown hair down. She had a green beanie on. She was in a room with blue walls and a soft white carpet. There was a queen sized bed with a red comforter. It had snowflakes all over it. She was wearing a grey shirt that said, Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars. (I actually have that shirt in real life.) Her pants were just regular jeans, but new ones. She had a purple silk scarf wrapped on her neck New Yorker style.

Anna was looking in her wardrobe mirror. She sighed. "Today, I'll ask him out. I can't keep hiding the fact that I'm in love with him."

"Anna! Come on, you're gonna be late!" A woman's voice, different from the woman in the hospital, called out.

"Coming, mama!"

She looked at herself. She sighed, then ran out the room.

-TimeSkip-

Anna was walking toward Leo, who was looking at a picture in his locker. She stopped. A tear fell down his face. He quickly wiped it away. Then he grabbed a few more things, and put them in his full backpack.

Anna continued walking towards him. When she reached him, he turned around and saw her. "Oh, um, hey Anna."

Anna smiled. "What's up with the full backpack? Lunch is starting soon. I don't think you'd be leaving early. And with everything in that back pack." She tired her head, showing her confusion.

Leo sighed. "I'm running away. It was nice knowing you."

He ran off.

"Wait! But-"

Anna looked shocked, then tried running after him but he was just too fast.

"I never got to tell you I love you." Anna wiped away a stray tear.

A line came at the bottom.

A few days later, Anna committed suicide.

"WHAT?!" Everybody yelled in unison.

Hazel let a tear fall down. "She must have really loved him."

Piper was crying as well. "She should have just ran with him. That's what I would've done if I were her."

"Even if she was in love, she shouldn't have committed suicide!" Annabeth yelled.

"To be fair, you tried to commit suicide when we just came to the camp. I was the one who stopped you-"Piper started, but was cut off by Percy.

"WHAT?!" Percy yelled. "You what?! Annabeth you know I would never-"

"Um, guys, can you sort this out later, I can't understand what's going on."

This memory showed Leo running past houses, but then he hears the name Anna, and stops. He looks through the window, at a T.V in a living room.

"Ronald Adams here, reporting breaking news in Houston. A local 12 year old by the name of Anna Thomas has comitted suicide. She was found in her closet by her foster mother, who found a note, that said she didn't understand the point in life without the love of her life. Apparently, he ran away. She said his name was Leo."

Leo gasped. "She loved me? And comitted suicide because I ran away?"

"Leo, if you're out there, think about what you've done." looked angrily at the camera.

The T.V turned off.

Leo slid his back against the wall and sat down on the sidewalk.

"I can't believe that the one person that loved me, is gone. Forever."

His hand reached up and wiped away a tear. Then, he got up. He was about to continue walking, but a silver spark appeared in front of him, startling him.

Anna appeared, but as a ghost.

"Anna."

"Leo."

"Why did you-"

"Comitt suicide? Because I thought I would never see you again. I thought, without love, what is the point of life?"

"How do you even know me enough to be sure you're in love with me?"

She quickly kissed him, even though to Leo, it felt like a warm wind hitting his lips.

"Remember ?"

"That thoughtless shrew? Of course I-oh. You've known me for 2 years."

"Yes." She closed her eyes, then began to sing very softly.

"I will always love you."

Her form faded away.

Leo kicked a rock.

I hate my life.The memory ended there.

Hazel and Piper were crying, but not as hard as seemed to be crying, but I couldn't tell because her face was buried in Percy's shirt.

Hazel turned to me. "How could we be so ignorant?"

I hugged her. "It's gonna be okay. It's gonna be okay."

I myself didn't even trust what I said.

Hey guys! That was my longest chapter, and I was happy to bring Anna back. But sad to let her go. I have a question for ya'll. Should I make this story have 25 chapters, or 30? Tell me in your reviews. Bye!
