PERCY POV:
"I'm sorry," I whispered to Edaline who was currently choking me with a hug. She squeezed me tighter.
"Oh, Percy. You don't have to be sorry," Edaline tells me reassuringly. "Do you want to talk about it?"
I open my mouth to tell her no, and then I contemplate what she's asking. I haven't known Edaline for long at all but I could already say that she was kind and would listen to what I had to say. I had an inkling of suspicion that she already knew what I was, so I gave in.
"I'm so scared, all of the time," I would never admit this to anyone. "I just want a normal life. I want to settle down and have a peaceful life. But I can't have that... I never get a break."
"Because of you being a... demigod?" Edaline asked as she led us over to sit on my bed.
I gave her a stiff nod.
"Keep going Percy," she tells me.
"I'm so tired. I've done everything the gods have asked me to do. The Fates must have something against me... What have I done wrong?" I shivered. "I've been through Tart-- the pit and back. I've done some of the most dangerous tasks. I've lost countless friends and family members. CAN'T I BE DONE ALREADY!" Edaline flinches and I apologize again.
She pulls me closer to her.
"Percy... I'm not saying that I've been through what you've been through... But our past is what defines us. Even so, The past isn't our future. You'll get home, you'll settle down and live a nice life... even knowing your past. You've been through terrible things yet you are an amazing person. Even I don't know if I would be able to hold myself in the way that you hold yourself now Percy.
"You've been given the worst hands in life, yet you made good out of it every single time something bad happens to you. Yes, Percy, you've lost countless friends and family, but haven't you gained some along the way?" Edaline gives me a small. My heart aches and I feel like I'm going to throw up. "Not only that, but you keep going. I truly believe that you will find happiness very, very soon."
Edaline gives me a quick hug and stands up to leave.
"Wait-" I began and she turned around, her attention dead set on me. "This might be an odd request but could you stay... I have... trouble falling asleep unless someone is with me. Sooo, could you like, stay, at least until I fall asleep?"
Edaline frowned. She must have been thinking, this is stupid. I'd rather sleep in my own bed. "Never mind," I mumbled
"Oh, Percy, I will stay until you fall asleep. I was just think- never mind actually," Edaline gave me a small push and pulled the blanket over me. Then she climbed on the bed, on top of the covers. "Would you like a slumberberry tea?"
