The Crybaby Meets His Match: Chapter 5

Adam's P.O.V

Right now, I was in the dining pavilion, eating my meal. I made my own burger, with a lot of cheese and beef. It's very tasty, and I was enjoying it until dinnertime is over.

After dinnertime is over, I decided to go to Hyperion's cabin. The Hyperion's cabin looked just as beeautiful as it is, because it's glowing slightly brighter than Apollo's cabin, and more to that, flowers and bushes grow around Hyperion's cabin. I wondered why flowers and bushes grow around Hyperion's cabin. It's like Hyperion had control over plants or something.

I went inside Hyperion's cabin, and sure enough, the girl named Eve is comforting Josh, my friend who had hit by Aphrodite's Curse.

"Don't cry, Josh." Eve told him. "Don't cry. I will be here."

Josh seemed like he was about to sob further, but his crying seemed to recede.

Josh's P.O.V

I sobbed into Eve's shirt. It's been a long time someone has been good to me. Most of the campers who came to Camp Half-Blood, such as Layla Jobs, knew me as a crybaby.

Layla Jobs was the most powerful daughter of Athena I have ever seen. 8 months ago, she demonstrated that she can make trees appear and disappear with merely her thoughts. That's very rare power that children of Athena possesses. People in the camp were amazed with her powers that she became popular in days.

Anyway, I held Eve's hand tightly as my hand shook uncontrollably, crying my every tears that streamed down my cheeks. I believed in my heart that this Eve girl can cure me of my curse, no matter what Aphrodite had said about the curse being unable to be broken.

Eve kept stroking my back with her hands. "Josh..." She said with soothing voice. "Please be better, I know that you have the curse and all, but please, please made an effort to stop crying for a moment."

I tried my best to stop crying for a moment, and after minutes of desperately trying my best to stop crying, my crying receded to only little cries.

I raised my head up to stare at her beautiful face. "There..." Eve said, "Now's better. I can see your face now." She stroked my cheeks, which were full of tears.

I hugged her in an instant. Tears started flowing again from my eyes and into her shirt.
