Percy~

      I wasn't going back out there. Not ever again. Nobody would even look at me, and I knew that they were disgusted by my mere existence.

     I lay a wadded up piece of paper that I'd had in my sweatshirt pocket on the sink table next to me and sank to the floor.

     I took a dagger from a shelf in the bathroom and dragged the blade across my right forearm, making blood drip down my wrist with no water to heal it. I put more and more pressure into each cut, slicing deeper with each new line.

     One for each name.

     I shakily dragged the blade straight down from my palm to my elbow.

Just like the wedge I had drove between me and Annabeth.

     Representing how she'd never forgive me.
