"were you aiming for him or me, 'cause i really couldn't tell!?"
"i was attacked!!"
"i was just tryna scare him!!"
"are you out of your mind??!!!"
"get in the car!!"
"the case! throw it!!!"
i sat up, gasping. my dreams (they weren't really dreams) had consisted of yelling. there were different voices, all yelling at each other. i wasn't sure what was happening, but i knew i was feeling very stressed out.
"are you okay?"
percy's voice made me jump.
i placed a hand to my racing heart. "gods, you scared me. but yeah, i'm feeling better now." i rubbed the little crescent scars on my palm that the ambrosia hadn't healed. i wasn't too worried because i knew, they'd fade within time.
"you scared me — all of us," he corrected hastily.
i smiled lightly, "well, it's nice to know you all care so much about me."
"are you kidding me? grover nearly fainted after seeing you faint. i had to carry you the couch here, and annabeth didn't want to sleep until you woke up. tyson looked ready to bawl. it took a lot of convincing, and even nico wanted to wait."
i sighed, "sorry. didn't mean to scare you guys."
"it's not your fault," percy brushed it off. "just... be careful."
"i'll try my best."
we sat in a comfortable silence before percy broke it. "in your sleep, you were shifting a lot. nightmares?"
i thought about it, "i don't think it was a nightmare per se. there was just a lot of yelling. i knew i was there, also yelling, and very stressed out. but... i don't know, i couldn't see anything. speaking of nightmares, is that what's keeping you up?"
