Hello everyone.
I hope you don't mind all getting a single email. I was going to write everyone separately but I have to talk about some painful stuff and I just couldn't face doing it seven times in a row.
First I want to thank you all so much for your help and support through the trial. It was hard on all of us but we did get justice and I'm so relieved. I still feel guilty for dragging you all into this mess (and I can hear some of you arguing with me about that already!) and really, just… so, so grateful that you were all with me in my 'darkest hours'.
So.
I'm gonna go away for a while.
Please don't be upset or worried! I'm not going to do anything crazy or dangerous. It's just been a lot. Even with all the trial stuff over with, I still have a lot of anxiety and tension sticking with me, and I need to get away from all that before I can be at my best for work and school and everything.
I know you have already done so much for me, and it's unfair to ask for more, but this is the last thing I need:
Please don't try to find me.
I will be in touch! I will check my email every day, I promise. I'm going to - please don't be hurt by this but I'm blocking everyone's calls and texts except for Eros who I have already discussed all this with so if there is a really real emergency he can reach me but DO NOT BULLY HIM ABOUT WHERE I AM OR TO GET IN TOUCH WITH ME FOR LESS THAN AN EMERGENCY! He does NOT know where I'm going.
I need some time with just myself. Everything's changed so much in the short time since I moved to Olympus. I need to figure out who I am, now. That looks super melodramatic but I can't think of another way to say it, so there it is. I'm going to travel incognito and see some places I haven't seen before!
Mom:
I love you so much
I know you're probably really mad about this and I know it's because you love me and are worried about me. I hope you can forgive this someday.
I can't be your perfect daughter forever. I don't want to be. It feels like being a dried flower pressed flat in a book.
I need room to grow.
Artemis:
I don't know if you'll read this, what with everything that happened. If you do I hope you will find it in your heart someday to forgive me for what I did. I never wanted to hurt you. But I respect your feelings. Eros can come out and get my stuff if you don't want me staying with you after I come back. Which I would understand. I left care instructions for my plants and some money to cover rent while I'm gone so you can pass those on to Eros too if need be.
I'm so glad you were my friend.
The rest of you - I care about you all and I will miss you! But this isn't forever! I'll be back before you know it :)
With so much love,
Persephone
PS Hades I'm sorry I need this leave of absence from my internship. If you need to find someone else to fill the position I understand. I hope you will forgive my unprofessionalism not giving two weeks notice but I think you would try to stop me.
PPS please hug Cerberus for me.
PPPS this isn't your fault.
PPPPS (ok last one I promise): Hecate please...look after everything. You know what I mean.
