(Genesis' POV)

"Wake up Genesis." I heard through my dream. I was being shaken by Percy. I flipped onto my other side away from him and groaned.

"Come on." He pleaded "Willow is hurt." My eyes snapped open and I sat up.

"Does Alleya know?" I demanded. He looked at me in disbelief and glanced down at the ground. I looked at what I was wearing. A sports bra and some fleece trousers.

"Oh grow up." I say exasperated and jump off my bed. I grab a t-shirt from a chair and left through the back door of the cabin. I almost run to the Athena cabin as Percy follows behind me silently. I probably looked crazy as I practically jumped on Alleya's bed to wake her up. She makes a hissing sound and throws her pillow at me. I expertly dodge it but unfortunately it hits Percy in the face and knocks him to the ground. I stifled a laugh while ripping the covers off her which causes her to sprawl out in a fit of anger.

"Willow is hurt." I whisper trying not to wake the others in the cabin. She stretches and says tiredly,

"I'll meet you there. Let me put on some shoes."

I roll my eyes and spin to Percy still on the floor. I pull him off the floor and drag him to the infirmary. I walk in and see a major love fest going on between Willow and Nico. Nico backed away as soon as he heard the door open. I walk to the bed Willlow is at and look at her with a smirk on my face. 

"What did you do this time Willow?" Before she could answer Alleya bursts through the door looking half dead. She looks to Nico, then Willow on the bed and at Percy and I. A hurt look crosses her face and she storms out. I looked down to see Percy's hand in mine and I immediately let go. He was blushing big time and I didn't know what to do. Go help my heartbroken friend or my possibly heart-broken friend. I decided Willow needed my help more and taking one last glance at the door I face her.

I managed to heal all of her broken ribs. She was going to be sore for a while but she could play next game. Nico volunteered to stay with her tonight and Percy went back to his cabin. Now for Alleya. I walked into the cold night air after saying my goodnights to the couple inside. I wandered around camp searching various places for her but she was nowhere to be found. I thought for sure she would've been at the lake but no. I finally found her at the campfire that hadn't been lit in ages. She stared into its imaginary flames, silent tears streaming down her face. I sat beside her and she glanced up to me.

"Alleya, I-I'm sorry." I said unsure of what I was apologizing for.

"For what? Being beautiful and smart and-and funny?" She choked out angrily. I was surprised. I had never seen this side of her before. I took a deep breath.

"No...I-" I stuttered but before I could continue Alleya stood up.

"I don't want to hear it." She growled and left me alone. I watched as she walked to her cabin and I wrapped my arms around my knees. I don't remember going to sleep but when I woke I was in someone's arms. I panicked at first and looked to their face. It was Luke. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and wrapped my arms around his neck. I nuzzled into his chest and his heartbeat slowly lulled me to sleep again.
