I sit in the passenger seat of my stepfather's 1990 mustang. He just picked me up from school, four hours late, and is currently complaining about it. God he's an asshole. Plus he smells like shit rolled up into a rotten tomato that's been in a bowl of piss and vomit that someone left in Death valley for fifty years. I honestly don't understand why my mom married this disgusting low life. Suddenly there is a loud honk and the car starts to spin out of control. The front of the car hits something causing it to stop rather suddenly. My body is propelled forward into the seatbelt. The worn fabric snaps and I start flying forward.
Instinctively my eyes close as the glass shatters around me when we collide. The shards slice my face and body. I'm airborne now, like a bird of sorts. It's funny I always wanted to fly like a bird. Free from society and its social standards, and now I am. The impact of my body crashing against asphalt brings me back to reality. I flip, twist, roll, and slide on the unforgiving ground till I finally stop, laying on my back.
My body is riddled with pain making it impossible for me to do anything but lay down and suffer. I can't even really breath, the movement hurts to much. Blood gushes down my throat from my nose choking me further. This is it, I'm going to die. Not that it matters to anyone. My mother is dead, my father was never in the picture, and I only have two friends. They might miss me for a while but they'll move on quick, well at least Grover will. I know he thinks I'm a burden and only really hangs out with me because Percy does.
Percy Jackson, my best and only true friend. We've known each other since kindergarten. I stood up to some first grade kids I heard picking on him. They couldn't hit me because I'm blind. It would look bad to the third graders they were trying to impress. From that day on we just looked out for each other, well he did all the looking I mainly listened. We've been with each other through everything so I know this will hurt him. Sorry Perc, I'm just not strong enough to survive this.
Swallowing the blood and bale in my mouth I take one last shallow breath then relax. The wind around me picks up as tears seep from my ducts. Suddenly soft droplets of water start to drench my body. Loud cracks of thunder echo through the air. A jolt of agony and ecstasy fills me then everything goes black.
