Save the World before you Save Yourself

I promised an update so here it is

It's 12 am don't judge me

Annabeth pov-
I had just witnessed Jason Grace liftoff with my boyfriend in his arms.

And then my boyfriend sprinted off.

Piper is dying of laughter.

This wasn't normal.

"Piper what's going on?" I asked quizzically.
She wiped her eyes. "Oh gods, maybe you should go with Jason to find out. "

"Is it why he wasn't at breakfast. Hey!- you weren't either. "

Her expression turned serious all of the sudden. "You should go ask him, annabeth,"

I didn't detect any charm speak but I wanted to do it anyway. Maybe I needed to.

I nodded and turned away. Piper put her hand on my shoulder for a second and then left. What's going on.

I walked up to Jason who was just rubbing his face and staring into where Percy ran too.

"Want to find out what's going on? You know I don't fancy not knowing things." I say with a smile, despite my nervousness.

"That's Annabeth," Jason smiled. He frowned almost immediately. "I didn't mean too, annabeth, I just wanted to ask him what was wrong and I -I think I scared him. He's probably mad at me."

"No. I'm sure that's not it. He obviously didn't plan on getting attention today or didn't want it and I plan on finding out."

"You always have a plan." Jason smirked and headed in the same direction as me.

We headed towards the cabins and turned left when we saw cabin 3, Poseidon.
He's in there. He's gotta be.

What's wrong with Seaweed brain?

"Maybe I should do it?" Referring to the door. I didn't want Percy to think we were ganging up on him or something.

Jason seemed relieved. "Yeah. Yeah you do it I'll just um-" he walked to his cabin.

I turned back to the door. "Right, okay."

I knocked.

"Hmmm?" Percy called.

"It's annabeth. I'm coming in."

"Thanks for asking."

I smile. Maybe he is okay.

I,walk in to find a dark room with all the windows open. I recently found out that Percy was claustrophobic, after he confided in me after a nightmare. He kept all the windows open so he wouldn't feel closed in. He was spread out lazily on the bed.

"So-o why weren't you at breakfast?" I cut to the chase (haha chase get it?)

"Wasn't hungry."

"Percy you're always hungry."

He muttered something under his breath. Did he say "Piper?"
I sat next him on the bed, the mattress squeaking at the extra weight.

He sat up. "Alright. I had a nightmare. Particularly a bad one. So I took walk and then Piper happened and we had a mini therapy session. We went to the arena and then Jason wanted to know what was going on so nyoom happened and I didn't feel like crying again so I here and now I guess you want to know more." He said all of this without emotion.

He was right. But something just registered.
"Wait- you were crying."

"Hm? Oh yeah ." He seemed embarrassed. He laid back down again, facing the wall.

"No-no it's fine Percy but I didn't know it was that bad. Are you alright now?" I'm concerned for him. If he can't handle nightmares, no matter how cruel, then how could he control himself, his powers. He was a powerful demigod. That was a little scary. I was guilty of thinking that, but it was true.

He turned back over to face me.

"Fine just- tired. But I don't want to sleep. You know, right?" He said the last part kind of with a hopeful expression. I understood. He didn't want to feel alone.

"Yeah, I know," i said softly.

He flopped back on his back. "Jason is out there, isn't he."

"Yeahhh." I said while rubbing my arm. I forgot about that. How could I miss the breeze that began to flow strongly through the window when he said his name?

"Well, tell him I guess. I mean it's not like my bro shouldn't know my brain is rotting."

"So dramatic," I say while shoving his arm.
He didn't respond.

"But really Percy, are you alright."

"No. But it's not like it's gonna get better right now," he turned to me quickly and grabbed my hand. "Are you okay?"

"I'm okay. I'm dealing with it," I said quietly. "Things will get better Percy. You have to try," I cooed.

He flinched. I recoil my arm. "I have to try." He said. His voice steely.

"Try harder, I mean. Ugh you know what I mean." My thoughts were in overdrive.

He sighed and laid back down. "I know, Wise Girl. I'm Sorry."

"What are you apologizing for?" I asked.

"I don't know anymore." He wiggled like a small child.

"Percy." I smiled and got up.

"I'm coming back later," I said while turning the knob on his door.

"I'll be here." He said while waving me off.

"Love you," I called.

"Love you."

He smiled.

Woooooo I'm tired.
