Sealed fate || Percy Jackson

"Loosing him was blue like I've never known"

Or

"I picture you with other girls in love and throw up on the street"

"I swear I'm fine." She said going back to her cabin next to Lee.

Three days had passed now since they came back and Will finally let her came out of the infirmary.

"I know" Lee told her opening the door so she could come in and then helping her to get confortable in the couch. It was mid-day so everyone was out so there was no problem on her ocuping it. Once she was seated he took a step back. "Take it easy, okay?"

She sighted and he stayed looking at her.

"Please stop." She pledged.

"Stop what?."

"Looking at me with so much pity".

Lee gave her a pity smile.

"Look Nara, I know you liked the boy..."

"I di-" she was going to deny It but somehow the words got stuck on her throat. Why she wasn't able to say It?

"He is gone now, you've got to continue, for him."

"He is not death!"

"He might be!"

"I'm telling you he's not!" She was not lying, she had a feeling he was out there somewhere alive.

"For gods' shake! Stop with the denial!" Lee insisted.

"It's not denial! I know he isn't!"

"NARA STOP! HE HASN'T COME BACK IN DAYS, HE'S DEATH, END OF STORY" He ended up screaming. Nara looked at him with a mixture of anger, fear and sadness. Lee let his emotions win and now he was regreting it. "I'm so sorry, se are all bad with Percy's lose and I-"

"Out" She answered.

"What?"

"You heard me." she insisted, "Go out, I need to be alone."

Lee wanted to protest but decided to let her be. "Okay, see you at lunch."

He left the cabin leaving a Nara alone with her thoughts: "Was he really gone?" "Did she really fancy him?"

It was all too heavy for her, she didn't want to think anymore or else she would cry.

'It's all the Gods' fault' that voice un her head said once again. 'He's gone because of them. It's their fault. It's their-'

She decided to get up and go and turn on the radio to distract her from that voice.
When se reached it she turned on the dial in hope to find some radio channel that worked.

On her fists try, she got the news and they were talking about the "strange explosion" on Mount Saint Helen, wich was the las thing she needed. On her second try she reached a Classical Music Channel; she didn't mind that kind of music, but she was not in the mood. On her third try, she got paralyzed by the song that was playing:

"If I didn't know you, I'd rather not know
If I couldn't have you, I'd rather be alone

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much.

All of the while I never knew

I never knew just what it was about this old coffee shop I love so much

All of the while I never knew
All of the while, all of the while It was-"

The music got interrupted by Nara throwing the radio to the ground.
She took a Big breath and didn't alowed herself to cry. Because if she cried is that she care, and if she cares she won't be able to keep going.
