Tratie One Shots

~i'm here for you~ part iii

Katie POV

I decide I can trust Travis. I've known him for years, and he's never given me any reason not to trust him. He takes me to the infirmiry, and I let him tell Will what Mason has been doing to me.

Will is shocked, and angry. He keeps grumbling about, "If I ever see that dick again, he's gonna wish he never came to this camp." I have to stifle my laughter. 

"You think this is funny Katie?" Travis asks me, laughter in his tone, and eyes. "Maybe." I tell him. He just rolls his eyes in a playful manor, and sits down in the chair next to the bed. I lay down and allow Will to left up my shirt to examine the wound. I wince, when he asks to touch it to see how deep it is. But I let him. I take Travis's hand and squeeze his hand, as Will presses down on the wound. I try to stop it, but a single tear drips on my face. 

Travis cups my face and wipes the tear with his thumb. "Hey, it's okay. We're gonna fix you, okay?" he tells me softly. I only nod, uselessly trying to stop all the tears from spilling. Key word uselessly. They come anyway. 

After Will gets me some ambrosia and nectar, I feel better. But, I can't do anymore. I can't stay with him. He's done enough. "Um, look guys, I have a date with Mason today, but I can't do it. I can't see him again." My voice cracks and I hope they don't notice. The tears don't stop, and I take a shaky breath. "I need help. I can't break it off myself. I need people with me, or it'll just be worse." A sob escapes my lips as I remember he last time I tried to break up with him. 

"Mason, I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry, but I think we should . . . take a break from each other." I say in a quiet voice, keeping my eyes on the door of his cabin. 

"Are you breaking up with me?" he asks, his voice far from kind. "Yes?" I say, but it comes out as more of a question. 

"No you're not, you love me!" He says stepping closer. I back up and accidently close the door of the Ares cabin. "Mason, stop." I try to tell him in a firm voice, but my voice is shaky. 

He pushes me into the wall and pins me there with his body. He slams his lips into mine. I don't try to stop the tears. I don't want to kiss him. I try to push him off me, but he's too strong. He breaks it off, and pulls my french braid up. I can't help the scream that leaves my mouth. He uses his other hand to clamp it over my mouth. "You are not breaking up with me. Understand?" he says in a dangerous tone. I violently nod my head, in hopes he'd stop pulling my hair. Thankfully he lets me go and I scramble out the door, sobs escaping my mouth, and I don't care who sees me at this point. 

I get to my cabin, and slam the door, pressing my back to the door. I slide down to the floor, and sob. My siblings try to get me to tell them what happened, but I couldn't. And I didn't. 

Travis wraps me in a hug, and I melt into him. Why couldn't I have fell for a guy like Travis instead of Mason? My tears come to a stop, and they both agree to help me. We make a list of people who can come with me to help me. 

Obviously Travis and Will, and Will agreed that Nico would be a big help. Piper, to charmspeak him. Miranda, because she would do anything for me, and she deserves to know. Lastly, Annabeth, because she is terrifying when she's mad. 

After I was good to leave the infirmmary, Will left to tell Nico and Piper, and Travis walked me to my cabin. 

"Listen, Travis I really appreciate what you're doing for me. I know it must be hard considering he's a child of Ares, but it means a lot to me. But if it's too much for you, I won't blame you if you want to back out, I mean, I would if-" Travis effectively shut me up by wrapping me in a hug.
