It was the first night of the summer, and as a 'We all lived through the year' celebration, the Hephaestus cabin was having a firework show.

Will walked barefoot on the beach until he found a good spot to place his blanket. He placed the dark coloured blanket on the ground and sat down on it. Will glanced around at the other campers, who were all chattering away with one another.

"Mind if I join you?" You said, breaking Will's gaze from the people around him.

You sat down beside him, bringing your knees up to your chest. You hoped that he didn't notice the tears on your face but you knew he would. The two of you were as thick as thieves. He knew you inside and out and the same goes with you.

Will sighed and looked back up at the dark sky. "Was it Jared again?" He asked, taking notice in the way your breath hitched at Jared's name.

You shook your head a few moments later. Will knew you were lying but you couldn't help it. Your relationship with Jared had always been a rocky one but you tried to fix it. Will had told you many times to break up with Jared because of the toll the relationship took on you. You had refused each time, blaming yourself for the problems and putting in more effort each time.

Will asked the question again, this time in a nicer way. He wanted you to feel comfortable when talking about a part of your life that was not the easiest.

This time, instead of lying, you slowly nodded your head. You put your face into your knees, hoping to hide away from the world itself. You were too tired to deal with whatever lecture Will was going to give you this time.

"He told me that he cheated on me and that it was my fault why he did it," You said, moving your head so you could see Will's face.

The expression on his face made you shrink. The look of anger on his face rivaled Clarisse's and that was saying something.

"You broke up with him right?" Will asked. His voice was eerily calm. His tone did not match his expression and it scared you even more.

"Well, he was the one to break up with me. He said it was about time since he had been dating the other girl for about three months now," You whispered. Your voice was too tired from crying loudly inside your cabin. Every word you spoke sounded painful as you croaked them out.

Will was honestly about to commit murder. At that point, it didn't matter that he was a healer. He was going to give Jared a piece of his own mind.

Before the blond could stand up, you grabbed on to his sleeve. You were begging him to just stay on the beach with you. He was basically your lifejacket and if he left now, you'd drown in the depths of your own mind.

You were already dealing with your many insecurities and while dating Jared, they only grew. Jared was a manipulative person and no matter how many times you tried to build yourself up, he knocked you down.

The murder in Will's eyes was pushed back by the fondness he felt towards you. You were always there for him during his rough points so he felt obligated to be with you during yours.

He sighed and sat back down beside you. You smiled up at him and leaned closer to his body. The night was slowly getting colder with the changing seasons and he was a human furnace. Will took notice of this and wrapped an arm around your shoulder, pulling you closer to him.

"When are the fireworks happening?" You asked, gazing up at the sky. It was now dark enough for the show but it was delayed.

Before Will could answer, someone shouted your name from across the beach. The two of you and the campers around turned to look at the approaching figure.

The person was now standing in front you with an angry expression painted on his face.

"Jared," You squeaked out, clutching on to Will's sleeve tightly. You had flinched when Jared raised his hand in the air, the response not going unnoticed by Will.

"And you called me the cheater!" Jared exclaimed, gesturing to Will. This comment was heard by the closest campers, who were all ready to jump in to fight for you.

You were ready to defend yourself in anyway you could but Jared had other ideas. He grabbed your arm and pulled you up. His grip on your arm was bruising and you winced at the feeling. Tears welled up in your eyes as you thought about what he was going to do to you now.

Before Jared could move, Will got to his feet and punched him. The whole thing happened so fast and you barely kept your balance. Jared's hand left your arm, resulting in you being able to stay on your feet as he stumbled back.

Jared wiped the blood that was leaking from his nose and smirked over at Will. "You hit hard," Jared said, sticking his bloody thumb in his mouth, "for a medic."

Will didn't answer him and instead got closer to you. He needed to protect you from the angry boy a few feet away. Though Will wasn't particularly fond of fighting people, he wouldn't hesitate if it kept you away from harm.

Jared raised his fists and was about to charge when three boys appeared in between the two boys.

"I said take us to Y/n, not the beach!" Percy exclaimed, waving his free hand in the air. In his other hand was a McDonald's package that smelt like french fries.

"Maybe she's on the beach dude," Jason responded, placing a hand on Percy's shoulder, hoping to calm him down.

"All I know is that Piper texted me these coordinates, how she knew them, I don't know," Nico said, hands full of takeout packages.

The three boys continued to argue for a second before Percy glanced around at his surroundings.

On one side was you and Will. You were cowering behind the son of Apollo and were crying as you stared ahead. Will looked beyond pissed and seemed like he was about to fight someone.

On the other side, was your icky ex, who also looked ready to fight but the appearance of the children of the big three scared him.

Percy, using his smart brain, connected the dots and glared over at Jared.

"Boo!" He shouted, causing Jared to run away. Jared may be a cheater and a horrible human being but that didn't mean he was dumb enough to get in a fight with the Percy Jackson.

Completely oblivious to the situation, Jason smiled over at you and Will. "We got food!" He exclaimed, raising the tray of drinks like the weight meant nothing to him.

Will let out a deep breath and pulled you into a hug while you wiped the tears from your face.

"Better come get your food before I eat it all!" Percy shouted, hoping to cheer you up from the stressful day you had.

You smiled and broke away from the hug. Hugs were great and all but food was so much better.

"If you eat my food, I'll murder you in your sleep!"

Stay safe in these times, my dudes!
