"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.

BoyxBoy Percico "Say it!" I repeated. "Tell me what you actually think of me! You're just like everyone else, Jackson, I know it! Just admit it-" Percy let out a strangled noise and suddenly, I ended up on the rough grounds of the forest. My wrists were gripped in his hands tightly, pinning me down, as his black hair stuck to the sweat on his flushed tanned face, and mine to my pale cheekbones. My back ached, but my anger triggered pain was stronger. "Everything is WRONG about me." I said through gritted teeth. "I might not be a real ghost or a lost soul in my father's realm, Percy. But up here... I might as well be." ~It's a long journey to love. Especially if you run away from it.~
