As soon as I got back to my cabin I pulled my phone out to search up, ser mi novia.

When the translation popped up on the screen I wasn't surprised.

I was just unsure of my answer.

I wanted to say yes, I truly did.

But I felt like I was saying yes for all the wrong reasons.

I knew I was being selfish but I had put Leo through so much I didn't want to hurt him again.

I was pacing around the cabin extremely nervous about dinner.

"Hey sis are you trying to make yourself dizzy?" Percy asked as I continued to pace.

His words snapped me out of my thought and I looked at him.

"Uh..... No I was just in deep thought" I said dazed.

"Okay weirdo" Percy said from his bunk.

I sighed and collapsed onto my bunk.

'Why am I doing this' I thought.

'You're no better than Bethany' I said to myself.

I was right, I wasn't.

"Hey Sis, It's dinner time so it's probably best if we get food before I die of starvation" Percy whined.

I gulped, dinner time.

"Okay then lets go" I said hesitant,
--------------------------------

The whole way down to dinner I was a nervous wreck.

"Hey you think you could be anymore freaked out?" Percy asked through his food.

"Elise, are you okay? you do seem really nervous" Annabeth said giving me a look of concern.

"I'm fine I just need to speak with Leo" I said avoiding her gaze.

"Ugh boy drama, Please don't break out into a relationship conversation in front of me" Percy complained.

"Oh shut up, you know you're all lovey dovey with Annabeth" I said rolling my eyes.

Percy looked like he wanted to say more but I didn't stay around to listen because I had spotted Leo.

"Hey Leo" I said walking up to him.

"Hey Elise have you thought about it?" he asked as I walked up to him.

"I have, but before we get into that can we go somewhere a little more private?" I asked him.

He nodded and I led him towards the lake.
-----------------------

"This isn't an attempt in kidnapping me is it?" Leo asked suspiciously as we walked along the shore.

"No, I just wanted some privacy" I laughed looking out over the water.

The water was beautiful, as it reflected the night sky.

"I hope you didn't bring me all the way out here to give me bad news" Leo joked uneasily.

I could tell he was trying to be patient but his patience was very thin.

"I brought you out here to tell you my decision" I said as we walked hand in hand.

"Which is?" Leo asked.

He stopped walking and looked at me in the eyes.

He was staring right into my soul and I blushing looking away.

"I..... um...... Yes" I said.

"Hmm?" he asked, caught off guard.

"Yes" I said plainly.

Leo's face lit up and he wrapped me in a warm embrace.

"I love you" he whispered in my ear.

I smiled.

I felt guilty because I wanted to be with Nico but I did love Leo.

I just didn't know in which way I loved him.

"I love you too" I whispered.

His signature grin spread across his face as he pulled me in for a kiss.

The kiss was soft at first but soon grew passionate and strong.

When Leo finally did pull away he was breathing heavily.

"I don't know why I ever let you go" he said.

I smiled at him as he threw his arm around my shoulder and walked me back to my cabin.
---------------------------

When we reached the door to my cabin he gave me a quick kiss.

"Goodnight Elise" he said softly to me.

"Goodnight Leo" I said quietly.

He smiled and gave me one last kiss then walked back to his cabin.

I sighed and walked in the door.                                                                                                               -----------------------------------------

When I entered the cabin Percy wasn't in the cabin

'Probably out with Annabeth' I thought as I got ready for bed.

After I had changed into my pajamas I laid down on my bunk and tried to fall asleep.

I couldn't though because I was still thinking about Leo.

I felt like a complete an utter jerk for saying yes to him.

But I couldn't break up with him because I didn't want to ruin any chance of a friendship.

Man I'm an idiot.
