It was a warm summer night, the stars twinkling brightly in the sky as the gentle sound of the waves lapping at the shore filled the air. You sat on the sandy beach, your heart filled with joy as you gazed up at the night sky, lost in the beauty of the moment. Beside you sat Percy Jackson, the boy who had captured your heart in a way you never thought possible.

You had been head over heels for Percy ever since you first laid eyes on him. His charming smile, his kind heart, and his unwavering loyalty had drawn you in like a moth to a flame. You had spent countless hours with him, exploring the world around you, battling monsters, and facing challenges together. He was your rock, your anchor, the one person you knew you could always rely on.

But there was a shadow that loomed over your happiness, a shadow by the name of Ethan. Ethan was a boy from your past, a boy who had once held your heart in his hands only to break it into a million pieces. He had done you wrong in ways that still haunted you to this day, and you had long since moved on from him, leaving him in the dust of your memories.

But Ethan couldn't seem to let go of you, couldn't seem to move on from the girl he had hurt so deeply. He watched from the sidelines as you and Percy grew closer, his jealousy bubbling beneath the surface as he saw the love and happiness that you shared with another. He couldn't stand the thought of someone else making you happy when he had failed so miserably in doing so himself.

With a heavy heart and a deep sense of regret, Ethan approached you as you sat on the beach, his footsteps heavy in the sand as he made his way towards you. Percy looked up, a frown on his face as he sensed the tension in the air, but you remained oblivious to the turmoil that was about to unfold.

"Ethan?" you said in surprise as he came to stand before you, his gaze intense as he looked down at you.

"Gosh..." Ethan took a deep breath, his hands shaking slightly as he reached out to gently grasp yours. "I know I messed up."
