The Deep End

Chapter 11: Part 3

Percy
Lying in bed with Nico is amazing. Whenever Percy, and Annie would cuddle, it was gross, sweaty, and uncomfortable. Maybe Percy didn't actually love her. He just needed a person to rely on, and we all know how well that went. Percy just wished he could go back to middle school when they were just friends, or last christmas when Annabeth and Luke got together, and broke up with her then. The more he thought about it he realized that it made sense that she cheated on him. She suddenly got more busy than she ever was. They were always around each other with student council and everything, it's amazing how Percy didn't realize. He felt like such an idiot, but he was here now with another person. A boy with jet black hair, fair skinned, and striking brown eyes. Normally, brown eyes were common, but Nicos were so unique. They told stories, they had a mixture of curiosity, creativity, beauty, but also anxiety, and fear. Percy wondered how such a young boy had gone through so much. Then, he remembered what he had to go through as a kid. Surely, someone else could've gone through bad things as a child. Percy's thoughts were soon turning to anger. Nicos, his, along with many others innocence were stripped away too soon. His anger slipped into sadness, as his eyes pricked with tears he fell into a deep sleep, thoughts of his ex-stepdad, and Nicos striking obsidian eyes clouded his mind.
