"I don't know where you're going but do you got room for one more troubled soul." I sing quietly, my hands were shoved in my pockets and my head hanging low. I shuffle rather than walk towards the dining pavilion.

I know I need to eat. But the problem is, I can't. Not as In, no I'm not hungry can't. As in, I physically cannot eat food. It had became foreign to my stomach. As if it has never had the substance before. I scowl. How could I become so messed up? I'm Leo Valdez, I'm energetic, I'm a demigod and with the ADHD I cannot for the life of me sit still. Actually, I used to be energetic, the ADHD used to make it hard for me to sit still.

But now, I barely move. I go around doing my thing making sure nobody gets suspicious but the second their attention is diverted, I'm out of there. I know it's fair on everyone, on Percy, on Jason, Piper, Hazel, Nico, Gods of Olympus, not even Frank. A silent tear makes it way down my face, a tell tale sign there were more to come. I sigh.

Ever since Calypso decided to disrespect me in the worst way possible, I have been void of happiness. Even the brightest smiles hold the most pain. She cheated on me. With Will Solace. Nico's boyfriend. I hadn't found the heart to tell him. Nico is so happy with him, I couldn't do that to the guy. He has lost so much and asked for so little. I told myself this was the only option I had.

Either tell him and ruin his happiness. Don't tell him and he's happy. Don't tell him, he's happy until he finds out then goes ballistic then goes bat shit crazy when he finds out I knew.

I have a thirty three point three recurring percent chance of getting one of the options. I didn't particularly like the odds, they were definitely not in my favour. I stop to catch my breath, even though I haven't done anything to make me lose my breath. I look up through the trees to see the sun in the summer air casting down on everything, making everything seem brighter, everything but me. I was just the dull grey thing people always manage to ignore, putting their focus on the bright colourful things instead.

Those things being the crew of the Argo II minus me. I mean, Nemesis always told me I was the seventh wheel, and she was right. I was always the odd one out, in everything. When Jason was placed with us in the wilderness school on the bus, he and Piper were together. On the Argo II on the way to Athens, Piper had called me to a meeting and when I stood by the door, all the couples were together.

Back then, I had Calypso to look forward to. But now, nothing. Absolutely nothing. I hang my head again. Why is it always me? Is it because I'm- no, Leo, stop. The Gods don't five a crap about that, at least, none of them but Aphrodite anyway.

I finally reach the dining pavilion and I instantly develop a migraine. From the peaceful walk in the forests to this- my head just can't cope, especially with all this thinking I'm doing. I see the crew all sitting at the same table and they smile and wave me over, I gave them a weak smile and politely turn them down.

There was a reason I came here.

I walk up to Chiron who had sent a message and told me to see him.

"Yes, sir?" I ask politely.

I realise that the tiniest amount of talking is making me lose my breath.

"Ah, yes, Mr Valdez. You have a visitor meeting you in two days time," He says, before taking a sip of his drink.

"Who is it, sir?" I ask, confused as to whom it could be.

He smiles at me. "Calypso of course!"
