I watch, frozen in place, as crimson blood stains the sand. My boyfriend's blood. A bloody dagger lays a foot away from the water.
The blood drips in a trail, leading to the ocean. And to two people that look exactly alike.
They'll find out sooner or later. Especially that girlfriend of yours, Annabeth. She seems to have you almost all figured out. Besides the fact she doesn't know about me yet, the one on the left says to the other. And a few other things.
"No one knows yet. And they never will," the other responds. "Especially about you."
Are you sure? You have to talk to that asshole in less than a week and it shows.You're already shutting down. The figure turns around, and we lock eyes. Looks like you've got company. Then he disappears and Percy looks at me.
"Hey, Wise Girl," he says with a shaky smile. "Why are you up so late?" I walk to stand beside him.
"Who was that?" I ask and he pales.
"No one. Why?" He starts to fidget.
"Percy...Who. Was. He?"I say. 'i know that you know who he is." He looks down at the blood dripping into the water from...Di Immortales. My eyes widen.I look at him with sadness in my eyes.
"Why?" I ask, my voice breaking.
"I...can't. I just can't. I need something that makes me feel alive, not just feel numb.This is the one thing in my life I can control." He is close to tears."I'm not living, Wise Girl, I'm just surviving."
I engulf him in a hug. I had no idea.
Then something else comes to mind.
If I just found out about this, how well do I really know my boyfriend?

It's the end of the summer and I'm starting to pack up my things.
