I CAN'T STOP LOVING YOU

CHAPTER 1

BRENT'S POV
I open my eyes and sit up. I blink a few times, and notice. I'm not in my cabin. It dawns on me that last night Jack found me collapsed outside my cabin, a Mcdonald's take out bag in my hand. Shadow traveling does me no good, but i don't carr, I wanted a burger. Also, I couldn't handle Lino and Joshua pestering me anymore about who I liked. But then will Jack had to find me. I was fine, just tired. Mark knows what he was doing around my cabin.

The room is suffocating, so many of Apollo's kids all taking shifts working. The most insufferable, though, was Jack. He was a tall blonde boy with a gorgeous eyes, sunny hair, and an always smiling attitude. His smile is so happy. He smiles at everyone and is so annoying.

I close my eyes and try to fall back asleep, seeing no reason to stay awake. Just when I start to drift off to sleep, Jack walks in, humming a song i'm to tired to try to recognize. I squint my eyes and see he walk to my bed, thingking i'm asleep. I close my eyes again.

"sleep well, Brent" he says, leaning down to kiss my forehead.

My eyes flick opened and I looked around, will no where to be seen. I was probably just having a weird dream. After all, shadow traveling does that to me.

MARKY'S POV
I'm doing my rounds, checking on each patient. When I get to Brent, I see that he is still asleep. OMG he is hot. when he sleeps, he looks so peaceful. I want to kiss him. but he's straight and even if he isn't he wouldn't be into me. I decide to wish him a good sleep. "dont give in. dont kiss him, Jack dont be stupid". i tell my self.

"sleep well Brent" I whisper to him. I lean in against my will and kiss the top of his head. Feeling his hair beneath my lips.

"arghhhhhh" I think, and dart from view, if he woke up. my life would be over.

I shake my head and continue my job in the infimary. i'm healer, not some hopelessly in love child of Aphrodite. But, OMGOSH, Brent is adorable.

(A few hours later)
My siblings and I always take turns delivering meals to the patient. It isn't my turn to deliver them today, but I argue with Julia until she gives in and let me do it. I just want to see how Brent reacts when I bring him food, singing while I do.

BRENT'S POV
What if my dream wasn't a dream? What if Jack actually liked me? I mean, I guess it wouldn't be to bad. At least someone would care about me And the plus, he's kind of cute. And i? I am so very gay, But no one needs to know that. I would rather stay in my cabin avoiding all signs of life than come out.

A knock comes to my door. I roll my eyes. "Come in"

"Breeeeent, I brought you breakfast!!" he yells, humming "you are my Sunshine"

Ugh, he's so cheerful I might gag.

"whatever"

I'm not hungry. Especially after Marky came in. In fact, I feel like im going to die or throw up. But I also kind of want to kiss him. My mind wanders back to my dream, and the thoughts that came after it.

"its just a dream!" I scold myself. "he wouldn't ever kiss me, You're just getting your hopes up"

I gasped. Hopes up? I like that gorgeous, adorable, annoying healer. What will I do with myself? He'll never like me. I'm just a ugly, rude, isolated, depressed Son of Hades. No one will ever care about me, I'm just an idiot with no friends. Who am i kidding. I fall back on my bed, resigned to eating whatever food will brought me.

I glance up from my food and see that Marky, with a smile as bright as the sun. Is still there. I glare at him and he leaves, still humming that song. I bite my lip.
