Damien:

Before Zöe could say anything, I jumped in first. “I'm sorry Zo, I know this is a lot to put on you right now, with Charlie missing. And I know that you can't be in a proper relationship right now, but I can't take it anymore. I was so terrible at bottling up my feelings for you that I lashed out at you and acted totally psychotic. I mean, not being with you is literally driving me insane. I love you Zöe. I love you and I always will. And if your not in my life then it isn't worth living. You're a part of me, a bigger part than anything or anyone else. I know you better than I know myself. My world is no where near perfect, not by a long shot, but it doesn't matter when I'm with you- nothing matters when I'm with you.”

I took her hands, and we stood in silence for what felt like forever. I felt tears dripping down my cheeks, and could see them falling down her's too.

She cleared her throat and looked up at me with those big shining sea-green eyes that I fell in love with all those years ago.

“When I said I thought we shouldn't be together, I didn't say it because I didn't want to be with you. I said it because... Well, to be honest I said it because I was an idiot. I thought that if I punished myself, then it would somehow make up for the fact that Annabeth was...” She nearly choked. “That Annabeth is ill. I thought that I wasn't allowed to make myself happy when Percy and Annabeth were so unhappy. But now I realise that I was stupid. I need you, I've always needed you more than anyone else in the world, even my brother. And recently I've needed you even more. I kinda thought that somehow, us getting together would ruin our friendship. And I thought that what I'm about to say, would be the hardest thing that I've ever said in my life. But it isn't. This is the easiest decision I've ever made.”

She wrapped her hands around my neck and gently tugged, pulling my head down so that I was leaning over her. “I love you Damien Grace; and I want to be with you. Forever.” And then, we were kissing.
