History Has It's Eyes On You (Percy Jackson)

1.

Nico

A year ever since the Giant War. Life was great. Will and I have been together it was a year last week. So that was an amazing night. Today Percy and Annabeth would've hit two years, but they broke up between the summers. They never said why. Just didn't work out. Hazel and Frank are still together, Piper and Jason. Reyna has yet to find a girlfriend. Today we all celebrate two years ever since Kronos was taken down and Olympus was preserved.

Percy's 18th birthday.

Here goes hell, right?

Percy

Gods did I feel like shit.

It was... It was my 18th birthday. I shouldn't feel this bad. But I... I just do. And it's not because I'm leaving because I'm not. The apartment is small, there's a baby girl there now. I'm finishing my senior year here. I decided that when they told me she was pregnant and to give birth in March. Which she did. Amelia Andrea Blofis. She was born and they seemed to forget about me a lot.

Yeah, that totally helped with my worsening depression. They wouldn't give me meds for it because they won't keep me alive with my ADHD ones. They can't mix in my body at all. Or my anxiety ones, I don't remember what ones. But yeah. And the therapist I usually would see gave birth and decided she wanted to be a stay at home mom and nobody else is willing for me to go a session so um...

That's how that's been going ever since I got home last summer.

It was Octovain's last day, so I decided to talk to him. He finally got accepted to a college.

"You know," I told the former Augur," in some weird, messed up way I think I'll miss you."

"Really? You're being nice to me?" Octovain and I always had our bickering and arguing. But in the end he was a camper who didn't do that bad of a job at being one," what's gotten into you?"

"Shut up, or I'll be an ass," I warned him," you're leaving, I feel like I should at least say goodbye."

"And you're not?"

"I don't know," I was honest," I might go home. Not today. I still have another year of school, but I'm doing online this year. I might go to New Rome if I don't go home."

"You sound disappointed," the demigod remarked, " can't you just go home?"

"I..." How do I explain that," yes I could. But it's... What do I go home to? My mom and her husband and their kid ignoring me? I'm going through enough trauma and recovery I don't want to add neglected by parents to the list. I don't know. "

"Are..." Octovain hesitated the question, "are you okay?"

"No. But you tell me the last time I was because I forgot."

"You're joking."

"I was diagnosed with anxiety at 9, depression at 13, it was fine until they refused to continue to medicate me and my fucking therapist decided to be a stay at home mom. You'd be surprised how much that stuff helps. That and the right person if you can find them."

"Did you find them?"

I nod my head.

"They died, two years ago."

And we continue to talk and BS when he decides to bring it up at lunch.

"I was a total asshole to you when we met," the Decendant of Apollo told me," okay, I hated you and wanted to kill you when it was announced you were Greek not Roman. You hated me and I hated you. But after that, after I tried to destroy your camp, you didn't seem to mind me at all. You treated me like a friend. Why would anyone in their right mind do that? "
