Y/n's POV:
I open my eyes my breath sharp and fast. Coral looks at me concerned. "Are you okay?" she asks. I nod looking up at the sky. The sun was rising. "Come on let's go." I mutter getting on her back.I ride back to the stables and put Coral in her stall. Then I headed back to house where no one was awake yet so I headed to the bathroom to take a quick shower. After I got changed into Y/f/o (your favourite outfit) I head downstairs.
"You're awake early." Mark says. "Gods Mark! You scared me." I say. "That didn't answer my question." he teased. "Just couldn't sleep. Why are you awake?" I ask. "Dad plays this tune every morning that only children of Apollo can hear to make sure we see the sun rise every morning." Mark said rolling his eyes as he picked up his coffee. "Why are you drinking coffee already?" I ask. "Excuse me it's not just any coffee it a Mocha. And it's very sweet." he says. I roll my eyes playfully. Mark always knew how to make me forget my problems for a bit. "Ooo coffee!" Lily said walking in. "Also are you two really awake before me?" she asks with mock surprise. "Morning Princess." Mark says rolling his eyes. "I made you Black coffee." Mark says pointing to the mug on the counter. "Thanks darlin'" Lily says "Ugh please it's too early for you acting like married couple." I say. "Then go outside." Mark suggested. "That's exactly what I'm going to do. Try not to make out while I'm gone." I said teasingly. "Y/N!" Lily said as I headed to the porch.
Leaving the lovebirds in the kitchen I went outside to the porch and sat on the porch swing. I sigh letting the air hit my face as I closed my eyes trying to forget about the nightmares for a bit. The weather wasn't freezing but it was still cold which is why Gran kept a blanket on the porch swing. I wrap it around my body. "Hey cous." Max said. Max was a known early bird most of the time waking up at four for a morning jog and the fact she liked seeing the sun rise. I smiled. "Hey. So how's collage?" I ask as she sits down next to me. "Not enough skateboarding." she sighs exasperated. "I bet." I laugh. "I still can't believe you're gonna be a teacher." I say. "A P.E. teacher." she corrects grinning. "Obviously." I say. She laughs. "Hey you've seemed off lately" she said. "I'm okay. Don't worry." I said. She searches my face but when she doesn't find anything she sighs. Just then Charlie runs up to us. "Max! Max! I wanna go to the park!" he says. "Why don't you ask Mom or Dad?" she asks. "Mom and Dad are asleep." he pouts. She sighs but smiles. "Fine come on. Let's go wake up Jack." she grins. I snicker at that thought.
After they leave I let my thoughts wander trying not to think about certain things looking up at the sky. "What did Zeus do?" a voices snaps me out of my thoughts. I look away from the sky and to Leo. "Nothing?" I say. "Then why are you glaring at the sky?" he asks amused. "Do I need a reason to hate Zeus?" I ask. (POV on Olympus: "POSEIDON YOUR CHILDREN ARE BITCHES." "So are you.") "No." Leo agrees. "But I don't think that's why you're glaring at the sky." he continues. I roll my eyes and he raises and eyebrow. "I don't think you want me to continue." he says. "Please don't." I sigh. He nods. "Okay. But I'm here if you want to talk." he tells me. 'You and everyone else.' I thought.
"Guys breakfasts ready." Mark says coming out. I notice a read thing on his neck. Leo seems to notice it to too. "What's that on your neck Mark?" he asks. He touches it. "Oh... a mosquito." he replies. I snicker as we head to the dining room. "Hey mosquito." I say passing Lily causing Mark to blush slightly and Leo to laugh. At breakfast I pick on my food not really being hungry. Gran narrows her eyes. "Eat your food." she orders. "But Gran I'm not hungry." I say. She gives me a death stare. I sigh and pour cereal into a bowl and scarf it down. "May I be excused?" I ask. She nods.. I head up to the treehouse Grandad built for my mom, Aunt and Uncle when they were kids. I pick up Little Woman which was Mom's favourite book. "You know I don't understand why you'd pick someone like Y/n. You deserve someone better." I hear from outside the treehouse. I open the shutter slightly to find Natalie stepping close to Leo. My eyes widen and I close the shutter and close my eyes. "History repeats itself. This is like Tom all over again." I mutter. 'Maybe he doesn't actually like me.' a voice said in my head. I put in my AirPods not wanting to hear anymore.
P.S. I'm going add a picture from Mark, Lily and Y/n's aesthetic (maybe Celine) for each chapter.
