Keep going.
its hard
I know, but you have to keep going.
why
Because. Because there are kids out there- like you. Because they deserve to know that people like them exist. Because they deserve to know that someone- anyone. Will fight for them. That there is someone out there who has fought through ever hard thing they’ve ever faced. And lived. That they can live too.
it’s not fair
It never is. But there are people like you too- older, wiser. People who have survived and lived and fought and are happy. You will not be the only one standing on the other side. You’ve never been the only one standing on the other side.
where are they?
I don’t know. I wish I did- I’d run to them, drag myself to them in a heartbeat- throw myself into their open arms and cry and cry and cry til my throat was raw. But they are there. Somewhere.
I want to be one
You will be. You just have to keep going. You will find them (have found some) and you will turn back toward those still running and open your arms and say
Finally- Finally you’ve made it. I’ve been so excited for you to get here too.
Maybe
Not maybe, you’ll do it. You have to. And then you’ll grab the fucking goal posts and you will move the finish to the start and then rip them out of the ground entirely. And you will say
No more. No more running, no more racing. Welcome- all of you, each of you, the fight is over we have won and I am so proud of you.
You sound so sure
I have to be. You need you too.

percy jackson knew he was in love with you since you were kids. hell, he knew since you met.
he knew since you stood up for him when he struggled to read, assuring you went through the same thing.
he knew since you shared your blue raspberry slushie with him on the playground, quickly realizing his love for blue food.
he knew since you helped him when things got bad with gabe for the first time.
really, he’s known forever. though, he never spoke about it. he never risked it all to tell you how he felt as though your hearts were tied together like ribbon.
he never risked it all to just be able to feel your lips on his, just once.
he never risked your friendship just to get this feelings out.
until he did.
you had waited for him. you had waited the eight years you had known each other until he confessed on your thirteenth birthday.
you had waited, even though you had known. the way his eyes sparkled when he spoke to you, the way he would always wait for you outside of school just to make sure you got home safe.
it was all worth it when he did admit to his love. it was perfect,
well,
as perfect as it could get when you were demigods. he had managed to sneak into your cabin, then had impulsively spit it out when you curled into your blankets. in that moment, it was as if a surge of emotion swept through him like the waves his father controlled.
he couldn’t hold back how much he cared for you. he couldn’t let you go another moment without knowing how much he cherished his time with you.
how much your blue raspberry lip balm drove him crazy, knowing it was right there, yet just out of reach.
until it wasn’t.

He stepped down, trying not to look long at her, as if she were the sun, yet he saw her, like the sun, even without looking.
