Yeah, I guess I am upset that Percy and I have drifted further apart now. But honestly, I think it was for the best. Him, talking with me? That'll ruin him if nothing else will, and so far, nothing else has.

I grumble and slump onto my black-sheeted bed. I don't know how to blame for this. Why am I so worked up over a boy anyway? I flip the switch next to my nightstand and let darkness succumb me. Soon enough, I'm tired enough to fall to quiet snores.

I wake up drenched in sweat. I roll my eyes, Perfect.

I think about my dream. It was of--you guessed it--him. Percy. He told me he loved me, but was ripped from my grasp. I closed my eyes and tried to erase the image. But I can't.

I feel like I'm about to break. I growl and rush into my cabin bathroom, slamming the door shut. I lean over the sink, my head bowing into my elbows, and take deep breaths. I turn on the faucet and splash water into my face, but it doesn't help. I growl again, this time in more frustration. Why can't the pain just GO AWAY?

And why do I feel so freaking helpless...?

Is it really that bad to be alone like this?
