Hello?

Hi! You have just texted our hotline. How can we help you?

I don't know, I feel lonely. And lost. Like nobody understands me. I feel like I have no friends anymore now. I want to kill myself today. You can help right? That's what you guys are for and all...

Oh my, yes of course we can.

Help me, please.

What happened? Why do you feel this way.

I don't want to say.

It helped to open up, you know. I'm here to listen and help.

It's a long story though.

And I have time

Wow ok. Well.

:)

Thanks. That happy face helped a lot. I just feel so much better oh my gosh.

.-.

:)

Are you going to tell me what's wrong?

I don't want to. I barely know you.

Well, first, don't kill yourself okay? Let's start slow, don't do that. It may not seem like people care, but others do. Like me. A stranger. I care.

Thanks, I appreciate the thought.

Second, I'm the perfect person to spill your secrets to, you don't know me.

Still... Well, I have to go to class. It was nice talking to you. What's your name?

Annabeth. And people care, alright? So don't go off and do something stupid.

3:31 a.m.

Hello?

Hi! You have just texted our hotline. How can we help you?

... Annabeth?

Who is this?

I forgot I didn't tell you my name. I'm Percy, they guy you convinced not to commit suicide.

Thank goodness you're okay, I've been worried.

You care?

Of course I care.

Oh

What's your favorite color?

Blue

Where do you like to go when you want to be alone?

The beach

How old are you?

Seventeen

I'm seventeen too!

Why are you asking questions?

So I can get to know you better, and you can tell me why you want to hurt yourself. I care, Percy.

But Annabeth, I already hurt myself.

PERCY, oh my gods, for how long?!

Gods?
