So, yesterday was exactly a decade after 9.1.1 and I decided to make a tribute to those who died and their loved ones. Please have moment of silence...

Lee Fletcher's POV

I was lying in the bed of the Apollo cabin, staring at the ceiling. I remember ten years ago, I was standing looking at the ruins of the world trade center. Crying over the death of my mom. I lost all I had left that day.

~~~~Flashback~~~~

Tears were rolling down my cheeks as I looked at the ruins of the world trade center. I lost my mom that day.

When i found out about my mom, my whole world crumbled, she was all I had left.

"It's going to be fine dude, if you need someone to talk to, I'll always be there for you," Luke comforted.

Dad was standing there, silent. Looking at the ruins of the building emotionlessly. I knew that he was breaking. That he, even after Eons of seeing the women he loved die, was broken deep inside.

"I felt your pain, my mom died when someone burned down my house back in Arizona" Natasha whispered

"I'm sorry for your loss" Annabeth said.

"We need to go back to camp now. It's starting to rain." Chiron said solemnly.
