Percy Jackson x reader: I can't believe it

Rebuilding (Percy's pov)

I knew where she was. Everyone did. She went there everyday. I don't know if it made her calm, or made her forget, but I know that after what happened to her, it had to be an escape. It was my escape to. There is nothing in this world that compares to bring in the ocean, and that's where she went.

After the drowning, something changed about Y/n. She didn't speak much anymore. Whenever she walked into a room it didn't brighten up anymore. She wasn't her bubbly self.

But the worst thing that had changed was that she didn't smile.

So that's why I come to the ocean and watch her everyday. It's the only place where I see the old Y/n.

I watch as she stands letting the waves crash over her. I'm terrified that she'll try to drown herself again. I feel so guilty about this whole thing. She drowned herself because of me.

Why, oh why did I have to believe those rumors. I'm such and idiot! If I would have just ignored them then y/n would still be herself.

I'm list in my thoughts when I hear something. I look up and see Y/n smiling and laughing. I sit with my mouth hanging open. Oh Gods how I've missed her smile.

I stand up and rush towards her in the water. I'm about halfway to her when she turns around and looks at me. Her smile melts away which breaks my heart.

"Percy? What are you doing here?"

I ignore her question and tackle her in a hug. "Y/n....... I've missed you so much. Life is awful without you! I need you. So please, go back to normal. I miss you and can't live without you."

To my surprise she is hugging me back. I can hear her crying.

"Percy? I thought you hated me?"

I gasp. "Gods no. I need you in my life. It's not worth living without you!" I tell her.

She looks at me and gives a small, sad smile. "Percy I'm not who I was. I don't know if I'll ever be the same again. It's going to take some major rebuilding in my life to get me even close to how I was."

I cup her face and kiss her. "I will be with you every step of the way. I love you."

She smiles before sighing and saying "I love you too."

End of the story. I know this hasn't gotten too many reads but I had to get this story out there. It makes me feel so much better to know that it is.
