Diary,

Today is one of the hardest days of my life. We know where Percy is and cannot go to him for several weeks. What if by the time we find him he is dead or he doesn't remember me?

They say to have loved you had to have lost. I'm seeing how true this is much more lately.

I still remember the first time I saw Percy's bright sea-green eyes. He was lying in a hospital bed thanks to the Minotaur.

I remember nearly killing him in a game of Capture the Flag, wouldn't that have been awful?

I thought I had to hate him because our parents had always hated each other. How wrong I was. He may be a goofball but I miss him. He makes me laugh and has helped me on countless occasions. He didn't mind too much when I let my pride get in the way of our friendship.

He protected me from swimming towards the sirens. He understood when I couldn't believe that Luke would turn on us.

Percy helps everyone he meets and I have yet to see him turn his back on a friend.

If he doesn't come back I think I might become a shell of nothingness. That's what I did when we had no idea where he was.

I've become snappish towards the people trying to help.

I just miss Percy too much. I can't say I'm sorry because I'm not, I want Percy back sooner than is possible. I've spent the past eight months away from him and his loyal personality.

I'm afraid he might not remember me. If he doesn't, then my usual greeting of lovingly insulting him and tackling him as a joke won't be met kindly.

I just want Percy back.
