Percy puts his hand over mine.

"I'm sorry. This is all my fault and- "

I don't let him finish. I lean over and kiss him like there was no tomorrow.

*********=^.^=********

Back at the dorms, everyone showers me with love and flowers like it was some kind of parade. How does coming close to dying worthy of anything? I had no idea. They gave me careful hugs like I was a bomb and any second I would blow. I returned the hugs until they all left and it was just Percy, Leo and I.

"So..." Leo said awkwardly like he actually had no joke to say. I was taken aback by his lack of humor.

He takes a step forward and wraps me in a true Leo hug. Those were the best. I was glad he wasn't treating me like a porcelain doll. Percy looked worried though.

"Careful, Leo." He said with cute little worry lines creasing his forehead.

"I'm really okay. He can hug me like he wants." I declare.

To add emphasis, I punch a spot on my back that makes Percy flinch.

"See. I'm a big tough girl. I can handle myself." I say in my best mocking voice.

I smile. Percy looks so worried that his eye if twitching, and he lays down.

I start to climb the ladder to my bunk, the one right above his. Instantly, I regret it. My limbs seem to disagree with me, and I start to fall down.

I was glad there was carpet in our dorm. It made my fall a little more graceful. But it still didn't stop a loud thump that seemed to echo through the dorm.

Percy looks at me crumpled on the floor. I feel the pain flaring up. I ignore it and fight down a groan.

"Oh my gods!" Percy starts to freak out.

He grabs his phone to dial 911, but I grab his hand in midair to stop him.

"I'm fine." I try to say strong, but it's hard.

I see tears start to well in his eyes. He grabs my hand and helps me off the floor, bringing me into an embrace. It made my pain melt away to be in his arms.

"I'm sorry." He whispers into my ear.

I think "sorry" was the word I hated most. It meant, I feel bad, and I can't find more words to express it. Just like when Daniel said it and I got mad.

I pull his head down to mine and kiss him, not saying another word. I was tired of sorry. I was tired of I wish I could change that. What mattered, was the future. You can't change the past, you can just get over it.

I think we both knew I couldn't climb the ladder. I crawl onto his bed because, I didn't want to be alone. He lays down next to me without saying a word. He hugs me carefully and I can't stand it when people treat me like weak. I hug him harder to show I'm okay, and he can stop treating me like a bomb about to blow. I drift asleep in his arms, exactly the way it should be. And in the morning, I woke to the unmistakeable sound of Leo's camera.

^^ hehehe awe Leo! Always finding a way to ruin the moment ;) Sorry I took so long to update! Love you all <3 ^^
