Your sword clattered to the ground as your body froze. You felt nauseous as you saw Percy kissing Annabeth in the woods as you were on patrol. Your body tensed as the all comforting atmosphere turned so bitter and cold. You couldn’t register what you saw for a second. You watched as Annebeth caught your eye and immediately pushed Percy back, she knew she messed up. she knew you had a crush on Percy. Percy just stood there. His fists clenched as he knew he just lost his best friend in the process of one action. Like a tiny ripple in water that turns into a big one. Annabeths hand grasps your arm as her eyes are pleading, “all we did was kiss, on my grave I swear.” She says trying to persuade you that the kiss meant nothing,

like she knew that the poison already seeped too deep.
