And Tell Me Some Things Last by @annabookchase
‘I stand there for a few more seconds, shaking and sobbing like a child, before the words just come tumbling out. “We can’t… We can’t do this anymore, Percy. You… You deserve so much more, and I- I can’t… It’s just not fair, Percy.” I’m blubbering, and I know it. I break down in front of him, tears rushing down my face so fast I can’t breathe enough to get more words out, even as my lungs are sucking in air like I just ran a marathon. Gently, Percy steps closer, wrapping me in his arms. This time, I let him. I continue to bawl into his chest for an eternity before I can finally breathe again. “Percy… we can’t be together anymore.” I have never heard my voice this tiny, this broken; I sound like a small child that’s lost everything and is barely holding on. I feel like one, too.’
My submission for the PJO/HOO Big Bang, I absolutely loved this fic so you should really check it out, just be warned that it’s quite angsty.
