x. i'll still have you

luke,

we just defeated gaea. the earth mother. 

leo sacrificed himself. i'll really miss that kid. he's completely disappeared, though. dragon and all. maybe he took the physician's cure and came back to life. that doesn't explain where he went, though.

i talked to percy. he said it was good to see me. he told me how he was sorry he never reached out after you died. he thought i hated him. that i blamed him for your death. 

i guess that was kind of true. i didn't blame percy directly. i blamed the prophecy. i blamed you. i blamed percy. i blamed kronos, the gods, myself. i blamed everything and everyone related to your death. 

but that's all over. 

i think for once, i feel at peace. after almost a year, i've finally accepted that you're gone and you're not coming back. and i'm fine with that. i have charlie now. i love him more than anyone. 

i'll still have you. in my pictures, in my memories. even in these letters. 

it would've been fun, luke.
if you were the one.

love, adelia.
