#seventh wheel

Friendly reminder that Leo was set on fire and given knives and shit from Tía (Hera) when he was a baby. Then his mom died and he blamed himself for it. His aunt Rosa turned the whole family against him and calling him diablo (the devil). He was put into a foster care system and had an abusive foster mom, Teresa. He jumped from foster home to foster home and always ran away. He once hid under the Houston Bridge for at least a month and in The Lost Hero Leo mentions spending time in the sewers. He learned the hard was that if you're funny, you don't get bullied so that's how he learned to survive. The he went to the Wilderness Camp where he met Piper and Jason and ended up third wheeling them the whole time and feeling left out. Then he got devoted to a seventh wheel to all of his friends and built an entire ship and did so much for them because he felt like if he didn't do that, they wouldn't want him around anymore. Plus he lost his best friend (Festus) and it was his fault. You may now keep scrolling.
