Déjà Vu {A Luke Castellan Story} [Three]

•Nine•

Luke, Grover, and I walked around the camp for a bit before Luke and I went to sleep back at the cabin for the last time. "This reminds me of old times." I smiled at Grover's comment. "If only Annabeth and Thalia were here." I saw Luke smile weakly also. "I'm glad to be back. Here, alive." I heard Grover laugh weakly. I smiled at the stars above us. We stood at the shore line of the beach, our bare feet (or hoofs) in the sand waiting for the water to crash against us. The comfortable silence filled the air, only the ocean sounds filled our ears. Sometimes actions spoke louder than words and this was definitely one of the times. This was probably one of the things I'd never forget. "So you two are leaving tomorrow?" I nod in response to Grover. "If you see him, can you tell Percy I said hi? I just haven't seen him in a while." I smile, "of course."

The fact Percy hasn't seen Grover in a while puzzles me, I thought they were best friends. Grover stretched a bit and let out a yawn. "I should probably get going." We all say our goodbyes and go our separate ways. Luke walks side by side with me, "I still can't believe you got me these. Where'd you even get them?" Luke chuckled, "I may or may not have stopped by the Demeter cabin while looking for Grover." I hit his arm, "you stole them." He rubs the area my fist had just made contact with, "Yes, and gave them to you. I'm sure they won't notice." I roll my eyes and step into the cabin. "You little thief." He shrugs and closes the cabin door behind him, "what can I say? It runs through my blood." I laugh a bit. I put the flowers down on a table, "You know these are coming with us to the apartment, right?" Luke laughs behind me, "I would hope so. It took me a while to get all those." I turn around and roll my eyes, "It took you a while to steal all these flowers."

I lay down on the bottom bunk, too lazy to climb up top. "(Y/N)?" I look up to Luke who's staring down at me from his top bunk. "What if we don't find one tomorrow?" I smile a bit, "I told you. Nico said we could sleep at his place. It'll be fine." Luke still looked worried but nodded and stared up at the ceiling. "Hey," Luke looks back at me as I start talking again. "Get some sleep. You need rest for tomorrow. It'll be okay, I promise." He smiles warmly at me and rolls over to his side, "Goodnight." I smile and adjust my body in order to get comfortable myself, "Goodnight you thief." He laughs a bit. I hear his breath steady and his slight snores start. A smile finds itself across my face. I somehow found myself, back here with at least one person I know. If Luke hadn't found me on the train that day, I'd be dead. I look back over to the flowers Luke had given me earlier. There was a huge assortment of them, but the main flower in the bundle was my favorite. I felt as my smile had somehow widened, he must've remembered somehow. I let out a small yawn making my eyes water. My eyelids begin to get heavier, they slowly shut on their own.

"Ow!" I woke up and saw Luke on the floor, he must've tried to get down half asleep. I laugh and get up to stretch. I hear a knock at the door, that must've been what woke Luke up. I head over to the door and open it only to be greeted with my dark-haired mess of a best friend. "You guys should get ready. We're gonna leave soon." Nico leaves and I shut the door to see Luke slowly getting up, "So clumsy." He rolls his eyes at me, "I was startled." I laugh. "Hurry up and get ready. We've got to say goodbye to Logan before we leave." I saw Luke's eyes light up, "Luke-Number-Two? Give me thirty seconds!" Luke dashed off to the bathroom before I had time to react. I start to laugh as not too long later Luke was out and ready. "Hurry up (Y/N)!" This only made my laugh worse, "Calm down." I took a deep breath to steady my breathing and calm down myself. "It's like you're in love with him." I grab some stuff and head to the bathroom. "Sounds like you're jealous." I start to close the door, but poke my head out as it's almost completely shut, "In your dreams, Castellan."

I walk out a minute or two later to see Luke second checking his stuff quickly. "We all good?" He looks back to me and nods. "Check your stuff real quick and we'll be all good." I nod, "I'll be fine. I didn't take out much. I'm just going to go see Lo-" Luke ran across the room and opened the door waiting for me to follow. "Let's go then! You said you were ready." I laugh and grab the MP3 before heading out of the cabin. Logan was talking with Nico, probably asking about his next visit. We head over and Logan goes to hug me. "I'm gonna miss you." I smile, "I'll be back. Don't forget Christmas is coming around soon so I'll come see you and mom." He smiles, "I'll make sure to leave that a surprise for her." I hold out the MP3 to Logan, "I'm sure you probably want this back." He shrugs, "Keep it. It's yours anyways." Luke and Logan have their fair share of hugs and goodbyes. They start to venture off to the side and further away from Nico and I.
