Percy found out Jason was dead at camp-half blood the day he decided to visit from college. So this is how it went.Percy walked into camp, he noticed it was quieter then usual. He narrowed his eyes slightly, confused, before making his way to the big house. When he entered he found piper and Leo and the others, all except his boyfriend.they noticed he came in and turned to him, he noticed they were crying."Wheres Jase?" He asked, the smallest smile as he survayed the room. His smile faltered as everyone wasn't looking at him. "Where is Jason?" He asked again, voice breaking as he could tell some what of where this was going. He began getting more and more panicked at the seconds of no reply. He took a Shakey breath, eyes widening slightly. "Where is my boyfriend." He asked yet again but more of a question to himself. Although it was a confused tone it came out louder. Finally piper awnsered. "Jasons not here, jason is dead Percy, he's gone now" her voice broke halfway and she looked away, a new set of tears leading down her cheeks. Percy couldn't speak or talk. His hand came up to his mouth, his eyes widened as he broke. He felt tears welling up in his eyes before crashing down and over his cheeks as he let out a strangled sob. He felt destroyed, wrecked and as if his world was crumbling, infact it was crumbling, his world was gone, Jason was gone.He didn't waste time before stumbling out of the big house, someone was probably calling out his name, he wouldn't know as his ears were ringing. As he stumbled out onto the porch and started running towards his cabin, the winds had picked up and a storm was over camp half blood and wherever else. It started raining, pouring and probably a hurricane started. Percy's mind raced, if Percy accepted the quest and wasn't selfish his boyfriend wouldn't be dead now.Percy sprinted towards the Poseidon cabin.when he finally came in contact with the Poseidon cabin door he harshly pulled it open before slamming it behind him before collapsing on the floor. Sobs racked his body and tears poured their way down his face. He gasped for air Inbetween sobs. If he had just accepted the quest instead of thinking for himself or being selfish Jason would still be here, Jason would have survived and Jason would still be laughing and smiling around him. But no, Jason wasnt here and Jason wasnt alive and well.Percy stayed curled up on the floor of the Poseidon cabin for hours until he also remebered what Jason had said to him maybe a month back. It came as a memory or flashback. Jason hugged Percy by the waist, his head on Percy's head as they sat together ona blanket by the beach watching the waves and stars. They'd been there for quite some time and it was nightfall now. Jason leaned over and kissed the on Percys forehead before Percy asked, "Jason how long do you think you'll love me?" He said softly, his eyes closed and relaxed, leaning back on Jason. Jason smiled softly and hummed before awnsering. "I know, and promise I'll love you until I die and everything and Everytime after, Perce" Jason smiled and little bigger before Percy opened his eyes and turned around before leaning up and kissing jason, placing his hand on Jasons chest and Jason wrapping his arms around Percy in return. They pulled back after a few seconds and smiling at one another before Percy pulled in him down to lie on the blanket. Percy replied "I'll love you forever too." before he put his face in the crook of jasons neck and Jason put his head on Percy before they both closed their eyes and drifted to sleep. Percy was sobbing again, at the memory and eventually his eyes were dry of tears and he was so hungry but Percy didn't care. Percy dug out the SPQR hoodie he stole from Jason before putting it in, somewhat being enveloped in his comforting scent, although that sounded weird Percy could not care less and he eventually fell asleep on the floor of cabin 3.Percy woke up to a banging on his door and voices. "Percy you can't be in there forever." That was annabeth he recognized. She sounded as if she had been crying too but Percy tried to speak yet his throat felt wretched with pain and his lungs felt as if they were dry. Percy had probably somewhat lost his voice from the harsh sobbing from the night before. He didn't awnser annabeth and she eventually went away sighing. Percy stomach growled but he refused to get up and out of his cabin right now. Percy felt absolutely destroyed. He spent the day drying his eyes of tears by sobbing so much and destroying his voice even more with cry's and loud sobs. Every few hours someone, mostly annabeth, tried to get him out of his room, failing each time. He didn't even come out for food or activity's or anything really. Just sat on he floor or in his bed thinking of old memories of him and Jason. He was mad Jason died, he was mad Jason could not go to college anymore, he was destroyed that his boyfriend died but he was even more destroyed her never go to live a real life. Jason grace, son of Jupiter, boyfriend to Perceus Jackson was dead. never to come back and never to live the life he wanted and deserved. And Percy Jackson couldn't fix that, yet that's probably one of the things he wish he could fix.It's been another day Percy endured of a life with Jason grace and he was starving now, the regular attempts to get Percy out of his room always failed, even Nico and Will tried to get him out. Percy knew he had college but couldn't bare it right now. Percy eventually came out of his cabin to be greeted with ananbeth and the other 7 except Jason at the dining pavilion. He sat down at the Poseidon table with food yet not touching it.After he was beraded by annabeth he was whisked away to the infirmary since I'd been apparently 'starving' myself. Percy laid in the infirmary bed while his thoughts asked a question. 'What if he'd been he one to die?' he questioned to himself before sighing and finally falling back into a nightmare filled sleep.
