"I'll show you that life is worth living for."
💖P E R C Y💖

Despite the sinking feeling of wanting to die, I felt like I was back to normal on the next two days. Nobody mentioned anything about what had happened, I was thankful for that

Which meant that whatever depressing moment I had been giving off probably dissipated.

The thing is that my brother, Gaston, didn't really do much on sleepovers. He would just invite Percy over and then, they'd literally do nothing other than play video games and then eat and sleep.

I should know, my bedroom wall is literally next to his. I could hear the sounds of riffles, gun shots, screams, and blood being splattered right through the wall. I could not sleep at all.

Now, let me clarify that. My brother and his best friend are not murderers. But with the sounds emitted from the other side, they might as well be one.

I don't know if my brother really don't know that I can hear them. Still, it was annoying. Perhaps it was a distraction.

I sighed in frustration as I closed my eyes and flopped on the bed.

Half an hour later, I found myself watching The Suite Life of Zack and Cody. Cole and Dylan were such angels...Now, they're a sack of handsomeness descended straight from Aphrodite.

"Ahh! The box said it would be honey mist auburn!"

"Well, honey. You missed auburn big time."

I laughed at the two. This show is one of the best to ever exist. As I laughed at the hilarious twins, I did not realize that I haven't had dinner yet and now my stomach is hungry and is demanding a sacrificial offering.

I groaned and left the comfort of my bed.

The walk downstairs is a long and torturous one because I really am hungry but I'm too lazy to walk that far. But, still, I endured. I am one of those people who would do anything for food.

So, I opened the door to heaven, A.K.A. fridge, and grabbed a leftover pizza, chicken, and what I assumed as fish sticks, went to the water dispenser to get a drink and was almost ready to go when this tall figure appeared on the kitchen doorway.

I didn't bother to look at it because I was scared for my food and well, my life, so I bent my head and said, "Please don't kill me! By the power of the holy food, I compel you!"

Unfortunately, that was my undoing. Because the figure laughed at me. "What the hell?"

"You! What are you doing here!? Damn it! I used my power on you!" I accused with a handful of food.

Percy chuckled and went over to my side, "I was gonna get myself a drink but then you freaked out and tried to exorcise me with food."

"Why, you little prick!" I really wanted to smack his pretty little face but with the things on my hand, I was torn between the decision of letting them go for a while and smack him or just ignore him and go.

He took notice of what I was holding, "Need a hand?" He raised a brow and took some of the Tupperware stacked.

Five minutes later, we reached my room. That's when I notice that it was quiet. "How long was it since you stopped playing?"

"About an hour ago. I couldn't sleep because of your cackles like geese being targeted."

Wow! I did not realize that I have been watching that long that I didn't even notice them sleep.

I scoffed, "You're one to talk. I had to endure your video games."

There was a silence that settled between the two of us. Well, until I decided to break it, "How about my brother?"

Percy sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, "He feels like something is off. I wish he would tell me stuff."

I noticed the look on his eyes. "What are you doing?"

He snapped out of his daze, "What?"

"I meant, why are you looking at me like that?"

His cheeks turned pink as he mumbled, "Because you look beautiful."

Now it's my turn to blush, "I'm not beautiful, I'm just ordinary. And you don't need to tell me things like this to make me feel good." I sighed before continuing, "Percy, forget what happened the other day."

"No, you misunderstand me. I said that to make you feel good AND to let you know that you are truly beautiful...and that I- that I kind of like you." He turned away from my face.

The Great Percy Stonebrook, who used to hate me, now likes the Dysfunctional Selene?

That seems quite impossible. "How could you like someone like me?"

He faced me so suddenly that I barely had time to breathe, and he said, with his face just inches from mine, "How could I not like someone like you? I know I made you feel shit all those years but I was jealous and angry because I knew that I couldn't have you, that you hated me and will hate me forever. I really like you, I have always liked you." And just like that, he closed the gap between us and kissed me.

It was soft yet fierce at the same time. It took me seconds before I finally realized that I should return it.

I wrapped my left arm on his neck while my right played with his hair. He, on the other hand, wrapped his on my waist and pulled me closer. He bit my lip which made me open them and he slipped his tongue in. We kissed even harder, our tongues fighting for dominance until he slipped out of my lips and kissed my jaw down to my neck.

"Oh, God!" I moaned out loud when his lips came in contact with my sweet spot. I could feel him smirk against my skin before biting the sensitive part, leaving a hickey. He then licked it and went back to my lips.

I accidentally laid on my back and now both of us were on the bed, him above me. I adjusted myself up but only managed to rub my body on his. Well, it felt good so I had to do it multiple times until he let go.

I don't know how long we kissed or whatever. I do know that he left me grasping for breath.

"What I told you the other day, I meant it. I'll show you that life is worth living for."
