(PIPER POV)
I showed him the scars that Dad put on my back. Even after he had gotten his fill on calling me a worthless,ugly, soulless being, he whipped me. He knew better than to whip me where my swim suit doesn't cover. Percy deserved to know the real me. Me, the girl who gets whipped for being the reason her mother died, the girl who was raped by strangers for three months, the girl who is betrayed by any of the people she manages to befriend. The 'school slut'. The girl who loves the boy with the black hair and sea green eyes with all her heart.
"This is the real me, Percy. I'm not brave, pretty, smart,or popular. I'm the school slut. But I love you, Percy. I love you so much. But you can't be with me. I'll just drag you down. I'm nothing but dead weight."
Percy stood up, walked up to me, lifted my chin, looking me in the eyes and said, " Piper McClean, you are not dead weight. You're not a slut. You're aren't pretty. You are stunning. The most beautiful girl in the world. And I love you. I will love you, forever. You will not drag me down. You will lift me up. You may not be brave, but you are strong. The strongest person I know. I love you, Piper." He said. He kissed me softly. My hands went to his neck to bring him closer. His hands went around my waist, securing me. My hands traveled up to his hair. I finally pulled away because I couldn't breathe. He looked at me and grinned. He had a dimple on his left cheek. He looked at his watch and said, " School's over. We should probably get you back to your place." I have to tell him about Dad's whipping me.
"I don't want to go home. I just want to stay here forever. Please don't make me go home."
So sorry I haven't updated in a bit, I was at camp and had no service, then I got stressed about having to go to my grandmother's house(i hate her soo much!). But don't worry. Everything will be back to normal now. Byes.
