[Completed] Percy Jackson, the boy who is always looked upon as quiet, shy, the boy who died a long time ago inside, though his body still roams the earth. The one everyone teases, and the one who got slaughtered in his own way. Nico Di Angelo, the boy who tries. The bad boy, the one everyone loves but never can have, the handsome, short-tempered kid. Both are targets, both are subjects, and both are dead inside. Which smile is real, and which is false? *I do not own most of the characters that will show up in this book, Percy and Nico belong to Rick Riordan as does the rest of the HoO and PJ crew *Can get raw and make you think of life *Round of Applause for @Percy_BlackAdder for the amazing cover! Cover credit goes to her and the artist who made the art in it (Viria) *For the JustWriteIt challenge this month (June)

"Are you excited!" my mom asked excitedly. "Why would I be excited to go to a mental ward?" I asked. "Just trying to lighten the mood." My mom replied. "I love you... and I'll see you in a few weeks or so. You and Paul should visit often." I said as my mom pulled up to the ward that I would be staying at. "I love you too... We will..." My mom frowned and looked up but quickly put on a smile and turned back to me, "Are you sure you don't want me to come in with you?" She asked. "Yes, I'm Sure" I retorted. My mom leaned over to the passenger seat and kissed my cheek. "I'll miss you." She said. I smiled back at her. "I'll miss you too." I grabbed my bag from the backseat and opened the passenger door. "Bye, mom" "Bye, Percy." My mom called after me. DISCLAIMER: I do not own characters. They belong to Rick Riordan.
