(A/N: hello!! Sorry for accidental neglect! So I will be posting as often as possible:3 I know... the title. It gets better... I think... you'll have to find out for me!!)

YOUR POV
I was walking to go see Leo. Like usual after training. I walked into bunker nine to see Leo feeding festsus. I snuck up behind him. And kissed his cheek. He turned around, and smiled. But this wasn't his usual smile. I could tell.

"What's wrong?" I asked. "Nothing." He replied. "C'mon, I know that's a lie." I said. "I'm fine." He said, getting a little mad. "Leo, I just don't like-" I started. "You know what I don't like? When people don't mind their own business! And you can't keep your nose outta mine!Just leave me alone." He said, walking away.

I opened my mouth to say something, but closed it, not wanting to piss him off more. So I went to my cabin. I talked to Piper on the way there. Later, I knocked on the door of bunker nine. Leo opened the door with tear stained cheeks. "What?" He asked, wiping his nose with his sleeve.

I reached my hand out. He put his in mine. " I'm sorry. I just hate to see you sad. I won't ask again." I said. He nodded. "It's okay. I shouldn't have snapped at you." He said. I kissed his cheek.  He hugged me, and kissed my forehead. I buried my face in his oily shirt. I love his sent. I heard a sniffle in my ear. I hugged him tighter, rubbing circles on his back, and lightly holding his head.

"I'm sorry." He said, coking a sob. "Don't be. I love you no matter what." I said. "You shouldn't have to deal with this. With me." He said. I felt my heart hurt. "I'd deal with anything for you." I said. He pushed me away. Literally  and figuratively.

"Is it okay if I can just be... Alone for a while?" He asked. I felt my heart hurt more. "Y-yeah that's fine." I said, trying to sound normal. "Thanks." He replied. I turned, and walked out the door. As soon as I walked out of the door, I broke down.

I felt unwanted tears trickling down my cheeks. I hated seeing him sad. I wiped away my tears, and walked to the strawberry fields. There, I saw Annabeth, Piper, Jason, and Percy. They were all having a strawberry fight. The sight made me smile, until Percy picked Annabeth up, putting her on his shoulders. Even from where I was standing, I heard Piper yell, "CHICKEN FIGHT!" As Jason put her on his shoulders.

There they were, being happy, together, as two pairs. Sure, they were covered in Strawberry juice and chunks, but it looked... complete. I walked away, towards the beach. There, I saw Will and Nico, walking along the shore. They were holding hands, and in the other hands, they held their shoes, as the ocean breeze blew their short hair from their face.

It seemed like every place I went, I felt horrible. So I just went back to the G/P cabin. The sun was setting anyways, so I just went to sleep, I couldn't face Leo again, not without crying.

LEO'S POV
I felt bad for everything I've been putting Y/N through. I was going to apologize at dinner, but I couldn't find her. One of her siblings said she wasn't hungry, but I know Y/N, she wouldn't miss a meal. It was because of me. I know it was.

I scraped some hash browns into the fire, mumbling, "thanks dad." I said, and sat down, and ate. I managed to make it through dinner without much interaction. I walked to my cabin, and climbed into bed. I hope I feel a bit better tomorrow.
~time skip~
I woke up the next morning, feeling just as bad as I did yesterday. The pain was still unbearable. I grabbed a Camp half Blood shirt, and slipped it on, along with my oily jeans, that were permanently stained, also grabbing my tool belt. I messed with the one bead that hung from my leather necklace, walking to Bunker Nine.

I opened the door, to find Y/N, on one of the work tables. she looked at me as I walked through the doors. She looked back down at her lap, getting closer, I noticed her tear stained cheeks. I hated myself for what I was about to say to her. "Hey." I said, walking up to her, shoving my hands in my pockets.

"Hey." She said. "What are you doing here?" I asked. "I came here about 2AM, thinking about you. I hate seeing you upset." She said. "I was acting like that because yesterday was my mom's Birthday." I said. She looked up at me, not with pity, but with sadness. One of the things I fell in love with. She never felt sorry for me, she always felt what I felt.

That's why it hurt so bad... "Y/N, I want you to know, I love you, but, I don't want you to be around me right now. It hurts me to see you upset because of me." I said. "What do you mean? You love me, but you just don't want me around anymore?" She said, tears rolling down her cheeks, ma danger in her voice.

"I can't do this to you." I said. "Yeah, maybe you can't, but what you just did to me was way worse." She said, turning to leave. I grabbed her wrist, to stop her. "Don't touch me! You've already done enough, so what could you possibly want from me now?!" She said, pulling her hand from my grip, and running through the door. Then she was gone.

I turned to the project I had been making, I leaned on the table, soaking In What had just happened. I then pushed everything off the table, out of anger. Everything crashed to the floor, as I sat on the ground, letting the tears roll down my face. I wish I didn't do that, but I had to. I have to protect her. Even if it's from myself.

And that's it!! Don't worry, there will be a part two, and three, and four. Heh, okay, well, have a beautiful day/night my loves!!
