"'till It happens to you

You don't know how it feels, how it feels

'till It happens to you, you won't know, it won't be real

...

You don't know..."

~ 'till It Happens To You by Lady Gaga from the EP ''till It Happens To You'

I guess you could say it would happen at some point... They would find out about... him. The hurt... All of the scars were hidden, hidden with my powers... And now, they have shown themselves to the world. For all to see. For all to know about things they could never have known. Things that are unspoken of. The only person who knew was Grover... I would have loved to have kept it that way. With all of my heart, I would wish for time to turn back to the moments only he knew. Before everyone looked at me in shock. Not understanding. Not getting. Because, how on earth could I have gotten these scars? What possible reason could there be? They were so old... Rotten into my skin. Planted themselves there as 'friendly' reminders of the past. The past I'd rather forget. All because of him. The Monster.

"Percy?" Percy looked up from his thoughts to look at the door of his cabin to see Grover's head sticking out of it. "You okay, man?" "Yeah yeah..." A sigh escaped the mouth of the demigod. "I just wished they did not... They already have so much on their plates, they don't need this." "Percy, they just really care about you. You should just..." "What should I do, Grover?" Percy said in an angry voice. "Just tell them everything! Like, 'So guys, I have been abused by my stepfather for over seven years, but don't worry, he's stone now!'" "Yes! Just give them clarity, Percy. Nothing more or less. You don't have to tell them everything, just the big lines..." "It's just that..." Percy started, standing up, looking around in his cabin. "They don't understand, Grover. They will just look at me in sorrow and stuff... Like they are sorry for me... I just..." "I know what you are going through," Grover started. No, you do not know. Stop pretending... "But you have to push and just leave it be... They deserve to know." Percy sighed and looked Grover right into his eyes. 'He will never understand,' Percy thought. He never would.

"Grover, I'll just... I'll tell them when I'm ready..."
