Your P.O.V.
They did it again. Those stupid ass Aphrodite kids! They're always picking on me...they know every little insecurity I have. They know about Leo, my eating disorders, my self-harmimg addiction, everything.
Today they were lead by Drew.
"You seriously think your loveable? Haha! Your disgusting. Your too fat and unworthy to get a boyfriend. You'll never be like us." She had told me.
My first instinct was to run. Before I came to camp I was physically bullied. So I belive she'd hurt me. Thus my instinct to run. I ran to the forest, not going more than a couple trees deep in. I was strong for too long so I let it out.
I cried and cried. The tears slipping down my cheeks.
After I ran out of tears to cry, I got up for dinner. Even though I didn't eat anything, I appeared happy. Leo had smiled at me and sent a wink.
As soon as dinner was over I rushed to be alone. Not knowing someone was behind me. I sat at the lake, crisscrossed.
I usually sang to myself when I was younger so, I softly sang.
"You said they make fun of your body. Humiliation in your eyes when you told me. Well I'm going to find them, don't you worry. I'll make sure they're really fucking sorry. You said your embarrassed of your body. Told me you think your really ugly. My love I know you don't see what I see. Anything that is beautiful, people want to break...and you are beautiful, I'm afraid. Anything that is beautiful, people want to break...and you are beautiful, I'm afraid. You said your ashamed of your body. You'd rather die then show me. But I know I'd love you in any form you take-"
My voice wavered throughout the entire song and at that point, I had broken. I cried once again. But this time was different, after a few minutes, I heard Leo.
"(Y/n)?" He asked. "Are you-" he rushed to me and hugged me tightly.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Nothing." I said and pushed him off. I walked away like nothing happened.
The next week I'd hum that song to myself every now and then. Being bullied by the Aphrodite cabin was an every day thing for me, training ect.
I had finally reached my limit. I ran to the beach, crying again. I guess Leo expected me because he was already there...
He ran to me and hugged me once again, not letting me go.
"You said they make fun of your body. Humiliation in your eyes when you told me. Well I'm going to find them, don't you worry. I'll make sure they're really fucking sorry. You said your embarrassed of your body. Told me you think your really ugly. My love I know you don't see what I see. Anything that is beautiful, people want to break...and you are beautiful, I'm afraid. Anything that is beautiful, people want to break...and you are beautiful, I'm afraid. You said your ashamed of your body. You'd rather die then show me. But I know I'd love you in any form you take. You said that they say your disgusting, told you that to were fat and unworthy. Well, my love I hop that you trust me when I say that you have a perfect body. Anything that is beautiful, people want to break...and you are beautiful, I'm afraid." He quietly sang. He wasn't exactly the best singer but his voice was a little soothing.
He grabbed my hands and lifted my left sleeve. Looking up, he spoke, "You are to precious to let this world break you. First, we're going to get you food. Next, we're taking you to the infirmary for your cuts. Last, we're going on a date."
"A-a date? But-"
"You think I don't know that you like me? Piper can't keep a secret." He replied chucking.
