”i care about everything, too much.”

you cared way too much about percy, the hardest part? having to act like you didn’t. every time you saw him with annabeth, you always had to try and ignore it, knowing damn well you were in love with percy. you cared about everything he did, too much. you wanted him as your own, you were too scared to tell him, you thought he would overreact, and you didn’t want him to, you cared about everything. you wished you didn’t care about anything. maybe someday someone would appreciate your big heart for once.

you sat at a table, near the archery range. percy and annabeth were practicing archery, and you watched closely. an arrow got a bit too close to percy, you were completely nonchalant on the outside, but you cared way too much inside. but when that arrow almost hit him the nonchalant expression immediately came off your face and changed into a look of worry, “percy be careful!” you said loudly but quickly cut yourself off as you realized you had just shown your true feelings. you really wished someday you wouldn’t care so much anymore. you cared about everything, but mostly percy. luckily percy doged it in time and immediately turned to look at you, “..what..?” he said, confused. you never really talked to him so he was confused on how you cared so much for him. it was very obvious he liked annabeth, you couldn’t just tell him if he had his eyes on annabeth.
