**ZOE**


I couldn't get it out of my head. The same vision. Over and over and over. Oh god. I had arrived at the Juice Bar, I finally stopped doing the sobbing-hiccuping thing I was doing before. I promised myself I wouldn't cry in front of them. I would hold it together. I slowly opened the door and walked in. I breathed, I could do this. Then the image came into my mind again. Before I knew it I was crying.

"What? What happened Zoe?" Piper said.

"Oh my gods, sit down," Annabeth said standing up.

Rachel put her arm around me. The comfort in their voices made me cry harder. I had missed them all so much.

I managed to calm down. I tried to control myself. I had done exactly what I told myself not to do.

"Zoe, what on earth happened?" Reyna said.

I paused, feeling the tears coming back. I opened my mouth and all that came out was a sob. This was terrible. I put my hands on my head and rested them on the bar. For some reason, everything I had done to Annabeth came into perspective properly now. "I'm horrible, I really am." I cried.

"What no you're not," Calypso said.

"I am, I really am!" I cried again, repeating myself. I was looking directly at Annabeth. And I knew that she knew why I was crying. And I now knew that she once cried about the exact same thing.

"I'm so sorry Annabeth," I said. She smiled at me, I stood up and we hugged. It was honestly the best feeling ever. She pulled away and I could see in her eyes, that she really wasn't over Percy yet. She had a bit of longing look in them, that I definitely didn't see in anybody else's. I felt worse but tried to forget it, and swallow it down. She whispered to me, I forgive you. I was crying again.

I knew it wasn't Annabeth who would ask, but I did know the question was coming.

"What's wrong Zoe?" Selena said, rubbing my shoulder.

"I- just- saw-" I tried to speak between sobs. It was at that moment that I knew I wouldn't be able to do it. I glanced at Annabeth, pleading. She looked at me for confirmation. I nodded.

"Guys look," Annabeth said. "I think Zoe might've seen Percy and Drew together."

I squeezed my eyes shut, took a deep breath, and started focusing on my breathing.

Everyone went silent. I sighed. They had waited though until I was ready to hear the tail. But they did eventually get it out of me. So here it is.

I was walking down the street, very happy, I had just found out I could meet with Annabeth! I was nearly at the Juice Bar when I saw Percy's car. He was in it with a girl, I just expected it to be his mum. But I saw otherwise. When I dawned on the car, I saw it was Drew. 

I paused.

I was confused at first, but it hit me, all in one go. I just stood there, motionless. Percy's car had stopped at the traffic lights, as it was a convertible, I easily saw him, his hand was massaging Drew's upper-inner-thigh and every now and then it would slip under her shorts.

I finally gained some composure of myself and went to hide in an alley so they couldn't see my face. The lights were still red and I guess Drew was getting kind of impatient. They were obviously driving to Percy's or Drew's place to y'know...

But all of a sudden, Drew rolled over, onto Percy, forcing herself onto him, their lips met and Percy put his indicator on, he was going to turn into this alley. I quickly ran out from it. Drew was still all over Percy when I looked back, but they were turning into an alley, and their roof was rolling up.

I swallowed my tears.
