His eyes widened and he stepped closer.

"Amb is that...is that what you really think?" Percy asked, taking another step closer.

"Stop!" I said , sliding my legs over the edge of the bed.

"Ambrosia you're not strong enough-" he rushed forward and I smacked his hand away.

He looked stunned but he backed away.

"I'm...I'm leaving," I said, strength returning to my muscles.

I stumbled down the hallway, yanking open the door. Percy followed me, grabbing a coat off the rack.

He draped it over my shoulders. I whipped around, shrugging it off.

"Don't touch me," I said.

"Amb..."

"You lied to me Percy. You left me with Thomas, left me to fend for myself-"

"I was protecting you!"

"You did nothing! Don't ever say you defended me!"

"He threatened you Ambrosia. Said if I warned you, he'd kill you," Percy said, desperate.

My eyes darted from his eyes to his lips and my expression hardened.

"Goodbye Percy," I said, backing away.

Percy watched me go, but made no move to follow me.

I started humming softly and walked far, far past Percy's and Thomas' houses.

As I walked away, I stumbled and a strong pair of hands caught me.

"You look like hell," a smooth male voice said.

"You have no idea," I replied, looking up.

A pair of electric blue eyes and a blinding white smile met my eyes.

"You sure you ok?" The stranger asked.

"Some ice cream would make it better," I said.

The stranger laughed, a deep heart-full sound.

"You like English toffee? It's my favorite," the stranger said, walking alongside me with his hands in his pockets.

I smiled, but said nothing.

"My names Lowell by the way. Mind telling me yours?" He said, looking over at me.

"Ambrosia," I whispered.

"Ambrosia huh? Unusual. But I like it." He turned and smiled at me.

My eyes widened and I looked away, blushing as I felt my heart give a little squeeze.

And I wondered if maybe my heart wasn't bound to just Percy and Thomas.
