Bianca, My Sister

14 Years Old

Dear Bia,

Percy, Percy, Percy. Loving him is my main problem right now.

Well, him and Will.

I was talking with Hazel. Apparently, Leo did escape. He lives with a dude named Jason and a chick named Piper. They're in Texas. The conversation moved to Hazel's current crush, Percy's friend named Frank. And from there, it went to Percy. And from there, it went to Will.

Percy has been the love of my life for four years now. I think I still love him--how could I not? But I'm just so confused, Bia! I met a guy named Will, who is ABSOLUTELY amazing! And then this thing happened...

Let me explain from the top.

You know the bullies, Octavian, Rachel, Ethan, and Luke? They decided to beat me up a bit after school yesterday. After they were done, I made my (painful) way home. I was hurting, physically and emotionally (tell no one), and I needed somebody, anybody! Maybe you, but I was looking for a substitute. Conveniently, Percy and Hazel were both busy, and I don't have that many friends, so I called Will.

I'm so embarrassed about this part, but I called Will, and I was practically bawling over the phone. After a few minutes of talking, he said he had to go and he'd "be right there." I just thought he meant he'd call back, but guess what I heard fifteen minutes later? A knock on my window.

It was crazy! But my heart fluttered and sky-rocketed! I was so angry and flustered, but deep down I appreciated it (tell him and I swear you will pay).

Which confused me, and made me feel bad. I live with Percy! I love Percy! Even if he doesn't love me back. What am I supposed to do?

But I didn't think about that much. Will hopped through, after my very long scolding (hehe) and patched me up. And then we laid down on my bed and conversed. I told him about what happened with the bullies. And he told me he'd always be there for me. I felt so happy.

I think things are finally turning around, Bia, if I could just figure out this Percy-Will thing.

I love you, Bia.
