She wasn't alone.

She let in a shuttering breath as her sobs slowed. Leo and Piper's arms were around her. Her brain was slowly, calming. She continued to lay there as they stroked her hair. She remembered Percy and it was okay. She remembered him, and she saw her friends now. She looked up at Piper grateful. She turned to Leo and her blood ran cold. In his comfort she had forgotten.

Leo Valdez would soon be on the list of people she can only remember.
