So the four of us went up to my dorm room, being Javier was with Andrew in his dorm room. And we hung out for the day and whatever. It was fun. Nico and Josh both passed out. I thought Daniel had, but I was proven wrong.

With the others passed out, we start talking.

"Where were you?" Daniel asked me. "Graduation Day? They said something serious in the hospital..."

"Its a long story." I explained. After we broke up we stayed friends. Haven't really talked since school, though. "Stuff with my dad and shit just got weird and chaotic. There was no way I could've gone. But whatever, right?"

"I guess." He agreed. "It was stupid anyways."

It was silent between us for a few moments. And I expected him to ask eventually.

"How's the whole depression thing working out?"

"Better." I was honest. "Its gotten better. Its still there. But it's not that obvious anymore, really. Shit went down this morning with that. But that was also because of a flashback and I was in the bathroom and it just ended horrible. But between Gabe being sober, my dad leaving me alone, and Nico its gotten a lot better. The challenge is keeping it there."

I noticed Daniel look over at Josh and it was brought back to my attention.

Its obvious that Daniel likes him. Although he'd never tell Josh that. And it's even more obvious that Josh likes him. But Josh acts as if he's straight so... Which when you have a pansexual flag keychain on your bag... That doesn't work too well.

"You should ask him out." I encouraged my friend.

"Nah." He told me. "For one, he's straight. Two... Eh."

"He has a pansexual flag on his bag connected to a chain that says I'm pan and I'm proud." I tell him. "I don't think he's straight, Daniel. And it's more than obvious that he likes you."

"And you knew Nico liked you how exactly?" He questions, motioning over who he didn't know to be my fiancé. But my boyfriend none the less.

"I didn't." I was honest. "I thought he hated me. But a little over 2 years ago now I told him like scategories about the situation with Gabe at home and he figured it out and somehow or another or whatever he told me he didn't hate me that he loved me and from there two years later here we are."

Now Daniel knows about the gods and that Im a demigod. He walked in on a monster fight one day so I had to explain it all to him. He believed it.

"Does he know about your dad?" My ex boyfriend asked me.

"He's a demigod, too." I answer. "That winter when Grover called me in, that was for recruiting Nico and his older sister to camp. Unfortunately his older sister died but he's seemed to move on so. Son of Hades."

"Okay, you know what." For a second I thought he was mad at me.

"What?" I asked.

"Just propose already, dammit."

I just smiled. Remembering three nights ago. That night couldn't have gotten any better.

"I'm 3 days ahead of you there."

Leo called. And over there's its like midnight. Daniel went to bed.

"Hey, Leo." I answered the call. "What's up?"

"Hey." Leo responded. "Not a lot. Just can't sleep. Its been weird here. Nothing with wars or anything but just the people have been acting weird. Even the gods. Well, aside Apollo. But he's Apollo. Mr.D up and left, Chiron has been missing for a month. The place is chaos and its driving me insane."

"That's how I felt almost everyday in that place." I agree on that.

"How did you do it?" The son of Hephaestus asked me. "For 6 years."

"I don't know." I was honest. "I just did it. I think the real world is what kept me sane."

"The real world." Leo repeats. "Gods I miss it. I've seen it once since I came to this place for non-camp related reasons."

"And until you get into college, you won't see it much more than that." I was honest with him about that. "To be honest, Leo, I hate it there. I owe it to a solid one person that I stayed for more than a single summer."
