Well this was a little idea that I came up with on the fly, so tell me if its a yay or a nay. If it's ok but needs some more spice, let me know, review or PM me either is ok with me...but try to keep the ideas PG 13. Read, Review, Enjoy, and RawR :D!
Just the fact that he was standing there in front of her was enough to make her blood boil. Of course she expected to see him at that stupid party but she didn't think that he'd have nerve to try and talk to her. She clenched her jaw and balled her fists making it obvious that she didn't want to talk. He stood there with the same face he was wearing the day she confronted him about his side relationship; confused blue eyes and the trying to play dumb face.
"Thalia?" he asked.
"Who else would it be dipshit?" she asked.
"Whoa no need to be all defensive." He threw his hands up in surrender.
She rolled her eyes and pushed past him, "Whatever asshole."
"Thalia wait!"
She ignored him and continued on through the crowd. This was the beginning of a ridiculous break-up and she wasn't going to put up with all of his stupid stories and whatever the hell else he decided to come up with. She walked right out the front door after dumping her beer, which she never drank, on the skank he had cheated with making it look like an accident of course. You'd think that at 18 he would finally stop acting like a 14 year old when it came to relationships.
She walked in through her apartment door and sighed before plopping down on the couch. He was the one who screwed this all up not her. She couldn't blame herself for his actions. He chose to carry them out anyway why would she blame herself.
Maybe he wasn't happy.
She closed her eyes for a moment before wandering into the bathroom. She rummaged around in her medicine cabinet and pulled out the depression pills that she was on. Something she will admit that she wasn't proud of but they were necessary to keep her out of a coffin or the Hudson.
She took a gulp of water and downed the pill before looking at herself in the mirror. She looked like a mess; she cried in the car after seeing him. She didn't know why it had hurt so much now when she confronted him months ago. Her blue eyes were framed by smudged rivers of black liquid eyeliner and blue mascara. She shouldn't be feeling the pain she was feeling over this. Her hair was a tousled mess from grabbing it multiple times as she cried. She then looked at the necklace hanging around her neck on a simple sliver chain. The rings he had given to her for their three year anniversary was dangling on it. They were simple silver rings with sapphires that looked like little lightning bolts on them. On the inside each ring had a song title engraved into each; "I Wanna Hold Your Hand", "L.O.V.E.", and "She's A Rebel".
She splashed her face with some water and then decided that she needed a reality check or possibly a vacation. She sighed and picked up the phone to call the one person she didn't want to call but knew she had to sooner or later.
She picked up on the third ring, "Hello?"
"Annabeth?" Thalia asked.
"Thalia are you ok?" she asked her friend.
"Hey how do you feel about a vacation to somewhere far from here?" she asked.
Annabeth hesitated a moment, "Sure, where to?"
Thalia opened up her laptop that she had running before she left and typed something into a Google search, "How about a road trip to Cali?"
Annabeth let out a long sigh, "Sure."
"Cool I'll talk to my mom about it."
"Thals does this have anything to do with him?" she asked.
She paused, "No this has nothing to do with him, this is all about my sanity."
"Ok so a vacation in the sake of your sanity?" Annabeth asked.
"Yup that's exactly what this is." She said.
"Well I have to go, call me when you get the info for the trip." Annabeth said before hanging up.
She could hear her mom snoring in the other room. They were beginning to get on better terms but there was still the occasional disagreement. She decided that it would be better to talk to her in the morning. Possibly get somewhere with her.
She closed the laptop just as there was a knock at her door. She went to go see who it was. She didn't think to look out the peephole before answering the door and threw it open to reveal him. He stood there looking at her with a sad, straight face, "Thalia can we please talk?"
She looked at him and pondered the idea, "Nope, you cheated there's nothing to talk about."
"Thalia there is something to talk about if you want to save this." He whispered.
"Luke if you wanted to save our relationship you wouldn't have cheated." She said.
"Thalia will you give me three minutes to explain what happened. It was an honest to God accident." He said.
"Cheating is not an accident Luke, falling off your bike is an accident. You don't accidentally fall into another girl's pants." Thalia said.
"Thalia please stop avoiding me and talkā¦please." He begged.
"Luke there is nothing to talk about! How many times do I have to say it to get it through your head?" she asked him.
"Not enough." He whispered.
She was slowly inching the door shut, "Well I hope you have a good night, don't forget to use a condom, and stay away from sketchy looking food it might be drugged."
"Thalia!" the door inches closer to closing, "Don't do this." even closer, "Will you please just listen?", finally closed and bolted shut. She went back to her room and changed out of her clothes that reeked of your typical senior party; alcohol, tobacco smoke, marijuana smoke, and for some reason nacho cheese and summer sausage.
The next morning she found her mom at the kitchen table with a mug of coffee and a plate of food. She sat across from her mother and smiled, "Mom can Annabeth and I take a road trip to Cali?" Thalia asked.
Her mother, Juliana, looked at her, "Why?"
"Well you can consider this my graduation gift." Thalia said.
Juliana looked at her, "Well you're going with Annabeth?"
Thalia nodded, "And possibly Piper if she's up for it and maybe Rachel."
Juliana had been an actress on some soap opera so she had tons of money even after all the rehabs and whatever else she went through and she was planning on sending Thalia on a tour of Europe with Luke. But after their break-up she had to refund the tickets and tried to figure out what she could do. Now her daughter was sitting there in front of her begging to go on a road trip across the country.
"Sure I'll give you the money and you can go with your friends." Juliana smiled.
"Thanks mom this means a lot to me." Thalia smiled.
"Anything for you Thalia." Juliana smiled.
Thalia spent the rest of her day with Annabeth mapping out her trip and figuring out where they would go. She loved the sense of adventure that this upcoming road trip was bringing on. Then she and Annabeth debated upon stopping in Texas rather than Cali and decided that was what they were going to do instead. That way they had the opportunity to stop in a lot of other states that were a little livelier than cornfields. Sure they looked beautiful in pictures but she didn't want to spend her whole trip looking at them.
She looked over at Annabeth around midnight, "Well this is going to be amazing."
Annabeth smiled, "Yeah this'll be a lot of fun."
They called Piper and Rachel who jumped right on board with the idea. They thought it would be a good experience. Thalia spent the next few days packing, ignoring Luke's messages, and making sure that everything was in order for the trip. This was going to be the trip of a lifetime. Four girls, in one car, all the way to Texas. They were all going through pretty bad break-ups, except for Rachel. Piper's happened to be with Thalia's own brother so Thalia figured that she owed one of her dearest friends something for it.
The next morning she updated her Facebook status and left to go pick up her friends.
Luke stared at the status in shock; he was sitting there with Percy, Jason, and for some reason Nico. They all decided that they were going to get their girls back even if it involved road tripping to Texas together to do so.
