Piper leaves quickly, letting the door close softly behind her. She peeks through the window to make sure Percy wasn't disturbed by the quiet noise, glances at me fleetingly, and disappears in a flurry of her orange shirt and feather-filled hair.

What have I done? Piper is my best friend and I know she was just looking out for me. I cover my face with my hands, wishing I could just go back and erase the last few minutes.

I have to apologize, but that would mean leaving Percy to find her, which, in my completely jumbled brain, makes absolutely no sense. Except I do have a short thought that it wouldn't be the worst idea to stick my head out the door and ask someone to watch Percy for a few minutes. Only that would have possibly completely ruined my friendship with Piper, seeing as I didn't even think I trusted her with Percy, but then I left him with someone else.

I trust Piper with my life on a daily basis. She always has my back and, as difficult as it was to admit at first, I ask for and value her spontaneous opinions as a sort of balance to my straight logic.

So why in Hades does it seem so difficult for me to just trust her with Percy? I know I do, I just don't know if I want anyone else to be the one who's there when he wakes up.

"You know I'd wake you up if he, like, moves," Piper had said to me yesterday in an attempt to get me to sleep. I don't even remember what my reply was, although I'm guessing it wasn't the nicest thing I've ever said.

I was horrible to Piper, completely taking advantage of her unconditional friendship and kindness. But she's stuck around, when I'm sure there are better things to be doing around Camp, especially for Piper, who anyone would love as a trainer.

I saw how hurt she was when I said she wasn't good enough. I saw the way her shoulders sank and her face fell, but I was numb to any feeling besides pity for myself, because my boyfriend was unconscious.

As I wonder why Piper would sit around with me for days on end, I realize it's because she's genuinely a good friend. I've been so caught up in worrying about Percy that I've shut out someone who I know I can depend on, no matter what.

I can depend on Piper when I need someone to talk to, or when I just need someone to sit with in silence. I can depend on her to be honest, but still sweet. If I need someone's help, Piper would be the first person there.

Can she say the same about me?
