Percico

Six days, six days i've been in a living hell. Because that is what my life is with out her. Shes gone and thats all I can think about-My Wise Girl.

     Piper was holding my hand and stroking my hair as I wept into her shoulder.  I wanted to be strong, I

didnt want my friends to see me like this. But she was gone and I felt like I couldn't breathe. Sometimes I wonder how I am suppose to live with her gone.

    "Oh Percy" I could hear the sorrow in Pipers as she hugged my head tightly to her chest. We havent had very may conversations the past few days. I think there afraid if they say the wrong thing I might completely lose it and im afraid to because they might be right.

   Hazel was sitting on the otherside of me her hand was rubbing my back. Im wrong for saying this but I wish they all would just leave. Because I couldnt stop any time soon and this was embarrassing. I was suppose to be the Hero the one who is always strong who never breaks down.

    "Come on" Piper gently pulled my hand standing. "Were all going to eat at the Poseidon table with you today" she was speaking so soft like her words could break me even more.

  I let her pull me to my feet, nausea rushed over me but Hazel grabbed a hold of my arm to steady me. I didnt want the camp to see this I'd probably start balling on my pizza.

   Piper slid her arm around my waist walking me out of my cabin door and towards the dining hall. Hazel walked next to me looking at the ground I saw a tear splash against a ruby that popped up at her feet.

  I tried to stop crying as we were getting closer to the pavilion but I was only making it worse for my self. I most likey looked like shit and my nose was proably running like Hermes.

  "You Drool in your sleep" Popped up In my head and before I could stop it I was gasping between cries. I hated this I was so weak and no matter how hard I tried to fight it i couldnt. It was like getting stabbed in the heart during a battle. You want to get up and keep fighing but you cant possibly. I should be avenging her death not weeping like a 3yr old.

   Piper stopped walking and took my face in her hands gentally.

  "Percy" she tried to sound confident like she believed I could march over to the Poseidon table and be ok but then her voice broke "oh gods, percy" she looked away quickly before I could see the tears fall from her eyes.

  Hazel looked up her eyes were red but she wasn't crying anymore. She put her hands on my shoulders "Percy, you can do this." she assured me,

"Guys go with out me Frank and  Jason are waiting" I said trying to calm myself down. Hazel shook her head.

  "We aren't going without you" she said gently.  Piper nodded in agreement.  My head throbed they were being so strong for me and I couldn't even stop crying long enough to eat with them. 

   "Alright" I breathed steadily and forced myself to get my shit together,  but the pain was still there it was like I was holding the weight of the sky all over again.

  We entered the dining pavilion most campers quickly looked away from me. "They cant even rely on their hero anymore" I thought dreadfully.

  At the Poseidon table was the rest of the seven and Reyna, Nico, and my favorite Octavian. 

  I felt Piper tense beside me and mutter violently to Hazel "Why in the Hades is he sitting at Percy's table."

   There was a part of me that was annoyed at the sight of Octavian and pissed because he had the nerve to sit at my dads table but it was nothing compared to what I was already feeling.

   Hazel glanced at me then looked at Piper, "I dont know." Piper was redfaced and started quickening her pace towards the table. When we got there she was giving Jason a infuriating glare. He looked away quickly, and I didnt know if that was because of her or me.

   I sat between Leo and Piper, Nico and Hazel aross from me leaving Octavian at the far end of the table.

   I tried my best to look alright, nobody really said anything. I could feel the tension in the air.

   Renya cleared her throat glancing at Jason for permission. Jason nodded silently.

  "As we all know Gaia is awakening,  weve slowed the process down 6 days ago at camp Juipter whipping out a good amount of her army, but shes still waking."

  My ears rang as Renya continued talking, 6 days... the pain in my chest flared.

   "We aren't talking him" Octavian looked at me snaping me from my daze. I didnt have a clue what he was taking about but I knew it wasnt good.

   Piper rose to my defense but Nico beat her to it. 

  "Percy's the best Demigod we have what do you mean he's not going?!" he was almost yelling.

  There was a tug in my chest at least someone still believed in me.

  "We dont need someone on board who cant keep themselves together, we shouldn't have to baby sit him" Octavian snapped. Piper lunged aross the table at him but Leo grabbed her shirt yanking her back.

  Jason looked at Octavian, like he was deciding something before he raised his fits and knocked Octavian off the bench.

   I couldn't think straight what if Octavian was right. No. I told myself I could fight, Id fight for her.

   I could see Piper's satisfied look, Renya was looking down at Octavian like she expected it.
