Help

I glared over at my boyfriend. "I don't need help."

"That box is almost twice your size."

"I'm a daughter of Ares, I don't need help."

"You're going to hurt yourself if I don't help."

I huffed. "Then let me hurt myself, Chris." I began struggling with the box again.

"Clarisse, you know by now I'm not giving up, so just let me help."

"My brother and all of camp will mock me if they think that I can't handle a box. So you are only preventing me from getting from the Big House sooner." Chris ignored my statement and went to the other side of the box. "Chris, what are you." I was cut off by him gruffly shifting have of the weight to his arms.

"Risse, just keep walking and get over the fact I'm helping." I did as he said knowing that he wouldn't indeed give up. I sighed thinking that I mine as well be demoted as cabin counselor. Ares would surely disown me as a daughter of Ares, too. I could hear my father yelling at me now for letting a son of Hermes help me. The word left a bitter taste in my mouth. People would think that I was becoming soft just because I got a boyfriend. I only stop rambling around in my head when I heard Chris yelling.

"Thank you, Clarisse, for helping me carry this heavy box to the Big House. I wouldn't be able to carry it without your help." I looked over strangely at my boyfriend before catching on to what he was doing. I blushed at how sweet he was and felt guilty when I saw the Stolls snickering knowing that they would make fun of him later. I replied just as loudly though. "No problem, punk." Chris smiled over at me knowing I was playing along. We finally reached the big House and set the box down. I tried to avoid Chris's stare as we were walking away feeling awkward because of the whole scene. I let my guard down for a few seconds to quickly whisper thanks in Chris's ear, though.

"Risse, I love you and no matter what I will always help you." I flinched at the word again. Help was always a strange concept to children of Ares. Silena used to be the only one that I would even remotely let help me, but she was gone now and I was back to being independent. I knew Chris thought I would run myself ragged with me never asking for help and he was probably right. Chris grabbed my hand and started walking.

"You know your lips have been looking very lonely lately." He looked up at me innocently. He led me into his empty cabin.

"Really? Well someone should do something about that, I suppose."

Chris went and sat on his bed. "To bad you don't like help though." I laughed seeing the trap but still answered with, "Well maybe help isn't that bad."

"Really now? Has my lovely INDEPENDENT girlfriend changed her mind?"

I rolled my eyes. "Chris, just kiss me." Chris brought me closer to him basically having me on his lap. Yeah help definitely wasn't that bad.
