Y/N's pov

Hands, put your empty hands in mine
And scars, show me all the scars you hide
And hey, if your wings are broken
Please take mine so your can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Oh, tears make kaleidoscopes in your eyes
And love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine so yours can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

It had been a month since Calypso's death and Leo appeared back to normal. But it's only a mask used to cover the scars he's too scared to show the world. I know because I've seen that expression enough times staring back at me in my own bathroom mirror. It brought me so much pain and anguish seeing Leo like this. It's gotten to the point where I don't care if I have to fall from the sky in order to get Leo to fly again.

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you

Love...
I remember clearly what I was doing. I was walking back to my cabin after having visited Leo (again) to check on him. (He said he was okay...but that's exactly what I used to say.) It was as I reached the cabin door, hand just centimeters from the handle when a thought crossed my mind.
'Why do I care more about Leo then his other friends?'
And no sooner had the thought wandered through my brain, then the answer revealed itself to me.
I love him.
I'm in love with Leo.

Yeah, you're all I never knew I needed
And the heart, sometimes it's unclear why it's beating
And love, if your wings are broken
We can brave through those emotions too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you
Oh, truth, I guess truth is what you believe in
And faith, I think faith is helping to reason
No, no, no, love, if your wings are broken
Borrow mine so yours can open too
'Cause I'm gonna stand by you

I never knew how much I needed Leo's love until now. I know I'll never get it and that only makes it hurt even more. I wish there was a way I could show him that I'd give anything for him. Truth is, Leo's truly shattered over Calypso's death, but I believe he can be healed; not by time, but by a lover instead. And no matter who it is, I know I'm going to stand with him till the end.

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you

I heard about how Percy walked through Tartarus for Annabeth, and there was no doubt in my mind that I was willing to do the same for Leo. I just hoped he would do the same for me. Leo saved my life and I'll do whatever  it takes to repay the favour.

I'll be your eyes when yours can't shine
I'll be your arms, I'll be your steady satellite
And when you can't rise, well, I'll cry with you on hands and knees
'Cause I
(I'm gonna stand by you)

As I lean over Leo's still figure, I whisper into his ear;
"I love you, Leo."
And placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.
"You missed."
I spun around in surprise at the answer that rose from the once sleeping form. I tried to leave in a rush, but Leo quickly latched onto my arm and forced me to look into his eyes. I slowly relaxed as I saw the pain Calypso had caused leak from his eyes and love for me fill them with a brimming brightness I had missed with every fiber of my being.
"I love you too, Y/N. Promise me you'll never leave."

Even if we're breaking down, we can find a way to break through (come on)
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'm gonna stand by you
Even if we can't find heaven, I'll walk through hell with you
Love, you're not alone, 'cause I'm gonna stand by you
Love, you're not alone
No, I'm gonna stand by you
(Even if we can't find heaven, heaven, heaven)
I'm gonna stand by you

"Promise."
