And I'm here...I hope you will be too

Help me I'm fallin' Catch me if you can

Third person POV

The sounds of sobbing echoed in the hall as a brunette made her way through the hallway. Clutching her wet and torn books she rushed outside. Looking side to side she appeared terrified of something or rather someone. Backing into a wall, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number. Biting her lip anxiously, she impatiently waited for the person on the other end to pick up, her face going pale when the mechanical voice sounded instead, asking to leave a voice mail. 

A fresh wave of tears made their way down as she tried to call the person again, almost dropping her phone due to her hands shaking. Looking up with wide eyes, she shrunk even further into the wall as the sound of footsteps and harsh laughter made their way up.

Taking a deep breath she tried calling again, knees buckling when the call didn't connect once more. Resisting the urge to fall down and give up she stands up and moves to start running when a manicured hand clamped onto her shoulder. Almost shuddering with fear she turned to face them when a slap hit her cheek, making her fall abruptly. Now completely shaking she still didn't look up. The other scoffed and harshly grabbed her hair, and leaned in menacingly. "We still haven't completed our business now have we, freak?"

Percy's POV

Finally the dial tone stopped and I could hear faint sounds of commotion. Breathing a sigh of relief I opened my mouth to ask her why the hell hadn't she been answering my calls till I was interrupted by the girl herself. "She's gone Percy!" "Wh-what? Are you crying? Why are you crying? What are you talking about?" " She's dead Percy! She's dead and a-and we never even noticed how much she was hurting !"

My heart sank as I heard the words but my mind was still trying to catch up. "What are you talking about? Who is "she"? Answer me for GODS SAKES!!" There was a small pause and then Thalia answered in a shaky voice and I felt as if the ground below me has fallen away.

"Bianca.....B-ianca......she jumped, Percy...... W-we went to school today. She seemed so h-happy! Laughing and joking with us. A-and then about an hour ago, Nico called us that he couldn't find Bianca anywhere. So we went out to try and find her. And t-then we reached the bridge near their house. W-where B-bianca and I used to play, remember? A-and there , there was a letter, her locket and just like that she was GONE!!" The only sounds that came from the connected call was the sounds of sobs.

My knees buckled as tears silently ran down my face. Few people who were walking by, asked me if I was ok, but I couldn't hear any of it. Only thing that echoed in my head was that she's gone..... Shaking myself off I gripped the phone tighter, trying to reign in my emotions. "Where are you right now?" Thalia took a couple of deep breaths to calm herself down and then said, "We're at the bridge. Come quickly." I nodded to no one particular as I ended the call and turned back, absently hailing a taxi ,as my mind felt as if it was thousands of miles away.

I blinked when the taxi came to a stop, shoving the money quickly and nearly tripping on my way out of the car. The bridge was overrun with police cars and fire engines. I nearly dropped down again when I saw all of the officers milling around, the reality of the situation slowly sinking in. Pushing few officers out of the way, I walked to where Nico and his parents and the rest of the group were standing. All of them were saying something to Nico, probably comforting and my heart broke at the thought of Nico losing his sister so early. 

They were very close, we all were and I don't know how we will get past this. As I got closer I saw Nico clutching one his mythomagic figures, a game Bianca introduced, tightly. Stepping forward I moved to gently hold Nico's shoulder when he looked up and his face changed to one of so much rage I thought he was looking at someone behind me. Frowning I moved closer to ask what was wrong when a hand stopped me. Whipping around to check who it was I saw Thalia who was looking at me with a similar expression. Nico lunged forward with Grover grabbing him back in just the nick of time. "How dare you come here? How dare you?" Bewildered I turned to Thalia for an explanation but she simply looked down, her knuckles white from how hard she clenching them.

Turning to back to Nico I tried to calm him down by asking what he meant but that just made angrier. "What you've done? Its what you haven't down, you piece of shit! After all the times she's comforted you and helped you after you couldn't fucking grow balls and stand up for yourself, this is how you repay her? 15 MISSED CALLS PERCY! Fifteen......And you couldn't pick up a single one? For some reason she chose the worst person to call." At this his voice started to crack as his anger slowly gave way to grief. My hands started shaking as I pulled my phone out of my pocket and looked in horror at the fifteen missed call notification. Suddenly the memory of my phone ringing repeatedly but me not answering it just because I was drowning in toilet water and later, self pity  resurfaced.

Looking at Nico whose face held an intense amount of hatred,  I swallowed as I tried to find the right words. Before I could open my mouth, Nico pushed away Grover's hands which were holding him back and grabbed the front of my t-shirt. "Why didn't you pick up you bastard?? Why didn't you? What were you doing which was so important that you couldn't call back even once??!!" Tears blurred my vision as I struggled to give an answer.

Then just as suddenly he grabbed my shirt, he let go and walked back ."Just go Percy, no one wants you here." I look at each and every one of my friends trying to apologise and explain the pitiful reason for not answering the calls but all of them turned away, not meeting my eyes.

Nodding silently to myself, understanding the message they wanted to give, I simply turned back wanting to desperately to run back and comfort them....but as of now I am the one who caused this.....why would anyone want comfort from a murderer?

I started walking back home though it was pretty far away. It started pouring again but I barely felt the rain as I slowly put one foot in front of the other trying to wish desperately that this all some terrible dream.

I started to cross the road when I heard a horn beep and a flash of lights. I watched with morbid fascination as the car raced towards me with full speed. I could've stepped away but Bianca's smiling face and Nico's words echoed in my head. I closed my eyes. "I'm sorry Bianca..." 

The car hit, a moment of blinding pain, hitting the road, watching the stars blinking above as the car door opened. I watched the stars as one sentence flitted in and out of my thoughts. "I'm so sorry......" 

I shut my eyes as the pain overtook my sense, vaguely registering the driver's shout of concern.
