I knew I was supposed to be asleep, but I still stayed up drawing.

I was drawing myself. My hair in my face and tears streaming down my cheeks. Chains were drawn carefully onto my wrists, and a torn sweater was shaded onto me.

It looked half decent. But I stared at it too long.

I was growing frustrated. I couldn't get the chin right.

I slammed the book closed and sighed loudly.

Nico wasn't here. He managed to sneak in with Will. 

But here I am. Alone, and well... I don't think there really is a word to describe what I've done the past two or three hours. Drawing, crying, and trying to sleep.

I should've brought my flashlight. Then I could've read too.

Nico came in through the door.

"Breakfast is soon, thought I'd wake you-" He looked at me with my obviously red face. Yeah. I cried WAY too much at night.

"You're already awake?"

I looked outside. Oh shit. Day light.

Wait I didn't sleep that night.

Yeah. I knew I was screwed.

Annabeth POV

-----------------------

Y/n seemed tired. Pretty normal considering her situation, but I knew that wasn't it. There was something else to this story.

Curiosity killed the cat. Right? But the cat died knowingly. 

I walked up to her during campfire. She was wearing a pair of black leggings and a dark f/c short sleeve shirt, with a black leather jacket stung over her shoulders.

Her e/c eyes locked with mine.

"What's up?" I asked cautiously.

She tried to look confused, but I could tell she knew what I was talking about.

"Uh... Nothing. I'm fine."

I rolled my eyes.

"There's definitely something going on. Did Clarisse get after you?"

She shook her head, her h/c hair waving back and forth.

"It's- something personal." She paused. "Have you seen A/n?"

Wait, no one told her. Oh shit.

"I'm sorry.."

"He died didn't he?"

I nodded.

She blinked back tears.

"I'm so sorry Y/n-"

"SHUT THE HELL UP! You don't know what it's like! He helped me when I lost..." 

She stopped herself. She shook her head slightly staring at the floor.

"Are you okay Y/n"

Bad question. I was heading into dangerous territory here. Things were getting personal. And Y/n and I just met 1 day ago.

"I'm fine" She lied.

Jeez. And I thought Percy was a bad liar.
