Mortals Meet Demigods/ One shots

Tratie oneshot (pt. 2)

Sorry for some misconception. I thought Connor and Travis weren't non-god side brothers but since I already written it this way just go with it. Quick explanation tho, when Travis was coming to camp, he was with his little brother Trevor, who had been eaten on the way. Ok back to the story:)

"Oi Travis!"

I turned, Connor (Conner? Whatever I wrote as both I can't be bothered) was running towards me, a huge grin on his face.

I wish I felt that much genuine joy.

"What's up? You've been down lately. I've heard that something happened with Katie? Im not sure though."

I flashed a smile.

A fake smile.

"Yeah, it's nothing. She just snapped. That's all."

"Ok... if you say so..." He looked unsure. But before he could say anything else, someone called him and he nodded at me and left.

I sighed. Walking to my cabin, thoughts clouded over my mind until I wasn't even focused on where I was going.

Why had I done that? Why was I so stupid?

Other scenarios that could've happened also filled my mind. What if I hadn't said anything? Or saw her in that field? I wouldn't be aching inside, feeling as if my heart was clenching every time I had a thought. But no one could really tell. Everything was on the inside. As long as I acted normal, no one could really tell my heart was torn out

"Ack!" My hand slipped and touched the lava of the climbing wall.

"Come on Travis." Conner called from the other side. "Get your head in the game."

"It's not a game!" I argued.

We laughed as we began steadily climbing again.

Then, I heard the voice. THE voice.

Her voice.

It's been so long. And yet, the aching in my heart never ceases to exist as I had hoped. But the smiles aren't fake. And I can laugh.

Her laugh. Oh gosh. My mind slipped again and I felt my body slip too but there was nothing I could do as my body went limp and fell.

I woke up in the hospital wing with Will beside me, taking notes.

"Ah, you're awake."

I tried to get up, but will gently put a hand over my chest.

"Try not to get up. You fell from a pretty high distance."

The piece clicked into place and I felt the memory return.

A smile found its way to my face. A bitter smile. A year after and there's no difference. Why was I like this?

I stayed in the infirmary for the next few days, sitting with my thoughts. I thought I had gotten past it. I thought I could ignore it.

But I had thought wrong.

Katie has the same effect on me as she had a year ago and most likely, it will never change.

"Ok, well it seems you're healing nicely. You're free to go as long as you make sure not to do any intense movements."

"Of course." I replied.

I decided to go to the strawberry fields. To try to put my mind at ease.

I hadn't come here in a year. Mostly staying in my cabin until recently when Conner convinced me to join capture the flag.

I sniffed in the sweet scent of strawberries and something snapped.

I broke down sobbing, my cries loud, but unheard. My insignificance just made it worse as the feelings I've pent up for a year exploded out of me. I collapsed as I cried, not caring if anyone saw me. I didn't matter. No one cares about me. My brother died. The person I loved hates me. I hate me.

I felt a gentle hand on my back. I didn't look back. I didn't want to. So I kept crying. My head had begun to hurt from the excessive sobbing. I heard the person squat or sit down behind me as they softly rubbed circles into my back.

Slowly, my cries lessened and I sat there, sniffling.

"You okay now?"

I stiffened. It was her voice. I stumbled forwards to get away, turning in the process.

She was wearing shorts with a regular camp half blood t-shirt, hair up in a pony tail. I love how casual she is.

I shook my head trying to clear my head and think straight.

"S-sorry, I have t-to go-o." I choked out as I stumbled away from the strawberry fields.

Silent tears streamed down my face. My stomach was twisted agonizingly. My chest ached.

I ran straight into Piper, who grabbed my shoulders in an attempt to stop me.

"Travis, are you okay?" She sounded genuine and it just made my heart ache even more.

I didn't deserve the attention.

"Y-" I tried. My voice failed me and I broke down again.

Piper guided me to a bench off to the side and comforted me. She whispered encouraging things and I cried harder.

I was so sick of crying.

After about 10 minutes, the tears dried and my cries became soft hiccups.

"Tha-thank you." I hiccuped.

"Yeah, of course. Is there anything you want to talk about? Or no?" She spoke softly, her voice soothing me.

I told her my story. My thoughts. Every last bit. From when I didn't even know I was a half blood, to now.

Piper nodded throughout the story, listening intently.

When I finished, she asked if she should talk to Katie for me.

"Yes please." I was so sick of hiding and running. I needed an answer that would pull me out of the hole I've dug myself into.

After making sure I was okay now, she stood up to go talk to Katie.

I kept my head down, trying to avoid any attention. I tried to throw it out excess thoughts swarming my mind so I could just relax.

And so, I fell asleep.

Hey wassap. WATTPAD FIXED THE WEIRD FONT THING I THINK... UM SO YA THIS IS THREE PARTS BECAUSE I WANTED TO PUT SOMETHING OUT. I THINK MY SCHEDULE MAY BE AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH UPLOAD AND IF NOT ILL ADDRESS IT. K THANKS FOR READING BYE:) (also happy late thanksgiving y'all for those who celebrate)
