eight // bleed for you - hidden in plain view

Adrian

I don't need drugs to feel happy.

I need to be human to be happy.

I want to see Mystery Girl again.

~~~

My first dinner at Camp Half-Blood was pretty magical. It was all a blur -- but the sharpest thing the night were Mystery Girl's eyes. She was quick, and smart, and mysterious.

I stared at the yellow ceiling of my new cabin. Laying on my back on my new bunk, everything felt different. This place was light, while the other was gloomy. It was a stark contrast, kinda like the way my hair somehow changed from black to blonde. It felt more natural this way, though, but I was still wrapping my mind around being a demigod.

Last night, campers sang around this giant fire that rose higher and higher, turning different colors like the rings we used to wear that changed color with our mood. There was this unmistakable glimmer in Mystery Girl's eyes, and it seemed I finally saw part of her happier side.

I didn't need drugs to be happy anymore.

I was filled with exhilarating joy. True, mad, deep joy.

~~~

I don't miss Mara.

It's more than that.

I stood at the top of the climbing wall, spectating the minuscule campers beneath me. I reached into the bottom of my worn shorts to pick up a familiar red box.

Down it flew to the bottom of the wall, dropping lifetimes away, gone.

I am not a smoker. Not anymore.

I am happy.

~~~

I miss you like the way Sherlock wannabes miss the important clues.

I miss you like the way someone tries to remember the answer to a test question but can't.

I miss you like the cliche way the sun misses the moon because, even though they share the same stars, they'll never be together.

~~~

At night I saw Mystery Girl sit on the edge of the Hades Cabin roof. Her legs dangled, her H/C catching the light of the moon's reflection. I didn't get to see her the entire day. It seemed as if she was purposefully hiding from me. There was an empty spot during dinner, and I couldn't look anymore because of the glare Nico shot in my direction after seeing me eye the bench.

But now it was night, and I saw her again. It seemed to be a simple night, with the wind breezing by softly and the absence of snow. Everything was at peace.

I wanted to call out to Mystery Girl, to ask if she wanted some company, but I didn't.

I didn't even wave.

~~~

I never meant to hurt you.
