A/N: Hey guys, I am so sorry for disappearing. School has been hard, but with the holiday break coming up I should be able to write more. I have gotten some really kind comments about the book, and some people have even added it to their reading list! I just want to say thank you for your support. It really means a lot to me.
Warning: There will be a brief mention of eating problems. There will also be some abuse, and I have placed a warning before and after. Everyone's experiences are different, so I am sorry if this story offends you. If this content could trigger you, don't read it. I don't want anyone to have a bad experience whilst reading my story. If anyone ever needs to talk, I am always open.
Disclaimer: I don't own the Percy Jackson franchise * sigh *. I only own any characters I create and most of the plot line.
I gasp awake. He invaded my dreams! How dare he?! I fume as I sit up in my bed, staring into the shadows. I hear a tapping on my window. At first, I ignore the sound, thinking it was a bird or something, but the tapping continues. Through the moonlight I can see what looks like little rocks hitting the window pane. I make my way over and open the window, only to get hit in the head by a small rock. "Ow! What the hell?"
"I am so sorry" I look down to see Derrek standing below my window, smiling sheepishly.
"Derrek? Why are you here? What time is it?" I ask, confused as I begin to climb out my window.
"Its four, but come with me, I want to show you something." I smile and finish climbing out of the window. My grin grows even larger as he grabs my hand, and we begin walking.
We end up at the top of a hill in the strawberry fields. We are right on the border of camp. Any farther and we would be attacked by monsters. Derrek sits down, facing the camp, and I do the same. "Why are we here?" I ask.
"Just wait" he says. I look out and slowly I see the sun begin to rise. The sky changes into an array of colours, and ever so slowly, the world wakes up. I've never seen anything so beautiful. Everything else fades away until it is just me and Derrek sitting together watching as Apollo pulls the sun across the sky. It almost feels like he is doing it just for us. "It's beautiful" I sigh. I turn to Derrek, and I see him looking at me. "The most beautiful thing I have ever seen" he says. Before I can process his words, he pulls me towards him, and the world bursts into a million stars.

Percy looks at me oddly as I walk back into the cabin at 6 am. You heard me correctly, 6 am. Me and Derrek stayed on that hill for two full hours. It was magical. Before I can question what Percy is doing up at this ungodly hour, he questions me first. "Where were you?" I didn't expect him to sound so angry. "Out" I reply. I don't need to tell him where I was. Not if he is going to interrogate me for no reason. "That isn't an answer"
"Well it's the only one you're getting." I snap at him.
"What is up with you lately Aria? I never see you, and your friends say they haven't either. Tyson gets all weird when I bring you up, and now I find out you are sneaking out at night."
"For starters," I begin, growing angrier every passing second, "I was out with Derrek. My boyfriend."
"I am sorry, your what..." begins Percy, but I am not done.
"Who I spend my time with is none of your concern, and me and Tyson get along great. All you have told me is that you have been talking about me behind my back, and apparently decided to spy on me at night!"
"Aria it isn't like that. I am worried about you." I sigh, feeling some of my anger drain.
"I already told you Percy, I am fine." He nods slowly, but his eyes are full of disbelief.
