"PIPER" I cried out as her car pulled into the drive way.
"ANNIE" she yelled out and ran to meet me.
We collided and held each other for a really long time. I hadn't felt human contact for over a week now and had barely seen anyone. The closest I had been to a person was with that guy surfing in the storm and I wasn't even sure if I was awake of asleep.
"Come on Pipes, I'm gonna make tea".
We sat I. Silence as the jug boils. I poured out two glasses of tea.
"How much sugar do you have Piper".
I looked over at her, her mouth was closed and she didn't meet my eyes. She held up two fingers,
I knew how much she hates crying in front of people so I wasn't going to push for words.
We walked outside and sat on the deck. I handed her, her tea. She took it with trembling fingers and took a long swig.
She placed her tea down on the sand, and she put her head in her hands and began to cry,
I placed my hand on her back gently.
"It's okay Piper, it's okay to cry". She let out a loan sob and then jumped on for a hug. I spilt my tea but didn't mind. I softly drew circles on Pipers back as she cried into my shoulder.
Slowly her sobs stopped but she still hiccuped now and then. She fixed her multicoloured irises onto the sea. The sea today was choppy and the wind swirled.
"I miss him so much Annabeth. I know it isn't my fault but I still feel like maybe if I didn't something different he may still be here".
I stayed silent.
"I think I'm gonna be okay though but I worried about Leo. He took this really hard. We were together when we found out w-what h h happened and..and".
Piper began to cry again. I have never seen her so broken up about something. Even the time that her dad missed a speech she gave about her history and the Cherokee people. She wasn't really sad then, just really pissed off.
We stayed like that. Silently watching. We stayed like that for long time. The tide has gone most of the way out by the time piper spoke again.
"Can we make some food Annie, I'm really hungry".
"I'll make noodles",
