Live While You Can Chapter 1: Meeting everyone, a percy jackson and the olympians fanfic

Okay this is a new story, I was reading something and I really liked the idea so I decided to take that idea and make it into my own. This is going to completely different from the story that I read. The one that I had read had many cuss words and I really didn't like how it ended or really started but I think it had a good idea to start with. So I have asked permission and was granted it to write this story. (thank you Forfun 100) So here we go.

Annabeth POV

"Chiron said we are getting a new camper," I told Percy.

"Cool a guy or a girl?"

"A girl, her name is Piper and she has a heart disease"

Okay so I should probably tell you, my name is Annabeth Chase and I live with 5 other people in a house for children with very bad illnesses. 2 men run our program, Chiron and Dr. D. The people I live with are, Jason Grace (he has a heart condition and can't always breath at night, so he has an oxygen mask that he has to wear at night.), Percy Jackson (has an illness in his lungs so he wears and oxygen mask all the time and he has seizures about once a day, also he's my boyfriend), Frank Zhang (has a stomach disease which causes him to throw up a lot and can't eat without someone with him so he doesn't choke), Leo Valdez (he gets strange fevers and often can't walk due to something in his legs), Hazel Levesque (she has an illness she dies every night but thankfully she always comes back), As for myself I have a brain tumor that causes me to get severe headaches and I can't function when I have them. As I said earlier that Percy and I are dating, we are. Hazel and Frank are as well. We all live in a house that cares for us. Not the actual house but the people who run it, Chiron and Dr. D but we call him Mr. D. As well as ages go, Percy and I are the oldest at 17 and also have been here the longest I was here 3 months before Percy though. Hazel and Frank are 14 and Jason and Leo are 15. I was 12 when I first got here so was Percy. Although I have been here longer Percy was diagnosed first he was 4 when they found out what he had.

He told me that when he was 4 his mom and him were walking home and he started having trouble breathing, his mom thought it was an asthma attack so she gave him his inhaler. That only made it worse, he started breathing super heavy his mom, Sally called 911 and they took him to the hospital. They found an infection in his lungs, once a month they have to be drained of the infectious liquid, and once in awhile the lumps that they drain burst and its disgusting. Anyway they found the infection and he was sent home a week later with antibiotics. They antibiotics didn't help at all they caused it to get worse. They found that they can't get rid of them so he is stuck with them forever. So a week after he was sent home his mom came into the living room to find him seizing on the floor. She rushed him to the hospital and they found that he is really sick. He now has to take many medications each day so he can eat, breath with the help of an oxygen tank, and not have seizure every hour. Percy came here when he was 12 when he got here. He was diagnosed when he was 4.

From what Jason told me it all started when he was 12, he was asleep and when his sister went to wake him up he wasn't breathing, his sister rushed him to the hospital and they found that he needed to wear an oxygen mask at night and needs to not get zoned out as much because that makes him forget to breath. Jason came here when he was 13. He was diagnosed when he was 12. Jason is also Percy's cousin.

From what Leo told me is that he was chasing a girl and his legs gave out. He was sent to the hospital and has a muscle disorder and can't always walk without crutches or something. After that he started having fevers every day for 3 weeks. They don't know why but he lives here and takes certain meds so he doesn't have as many fevers. He was 14 when he got here. He was diagnosed when he was 14.

Hazel told me that her mom heard a noise at night and went in to check on Hazel and saw that she was not breathing. Of course she was rushed to the hospital she now has to sleep with an oxygen tank at night. Her heart stops every night for like 2 minutes but thankfully she always comes back. She came here when she was 13. She was diagnosed when she was 12. Hazel is Frank's girlfriend.

Frank told me that he kept throwing up from days on end and there was gross stuff in it. He was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with a stomach disease that can be operated on until they can find him a new stomach. He has been here from when he was 13 ½ to now, he was diagnosed when he was 13. Frank is Hazel's boyfriend.

Now I don't have a super long story like percy but not as short as Leo or Frank. When I was 9 I was having super bad migraines and wasn't excelling in school as much as I used to. My dad and step-mom took me to the hospital and they found i had a brain tumor that they couldn't get rid of. I am now better than I was since I have been here. I stayed at home until my little brothers were born then my step-mom and dad couldn't take care of the infants as well as a sick child. I was sent to live with my real mom but she was too busy so then I came back to my dads. When I was 12 I was sent to live here where they could take better care of me. I love it here with Percy and my friends which are more like family.

Now as I stated at the beginning that we were getting a new girl, I also found out that she will be my roommate. Her name is piper and she has a heart disease and they can't really do much until she gets a new heart. I am excited to meet her this afternoon. She is coming around noon. Our lunch time.

#################################TIME#SKIP#TO#LUNCH#########################

We were all seated at the table, Percy on my right, Hazel on my left, Frank next to Hazel, then Jason across from Percy, and Leo across from me, Mr. D was seated at the head of the table and Chiron across from Frank. It was silence except from Percy's oxygen tank and us eating. Then the doorbell rang. Mr. D answered it and a girls about the age of 15-16 walked in with a middle aged man, I am guessing her dad. Everyone except Percy looked at her. I knew percy didn't hear much when he was eating 'he was in the zone' as he says. I quickly nudged him to get his attention.

"Really Annabeth I was eating!" Percy almost yelled at me but I pointed my head in the new girls direction, " Oh hi, sorry about that." He apologized.

"Oh it's alright. I'm Piper by the way" She answered.

"I'm Annabeth, This is Percy, Hazel, Jason, Frank, and Leo." I pointed to all of them as I said their name. They smiled and waved.

"Mr. McLean why don't you come with us while the children get acquainted?" Chiron spoke up.

"Of course, Piper take it easy, okay." Mr. McLean told Piper.

"Fine dad."

"What's your story?" Percy asked while putting his elbows on the table facing Piper who sat next to Jason.

"What story?" Piper asked.

"You know the story of how you ended up here. We all have a story." Hazel told Piper.

"Okay well a couple months ago I passed out in gym and didn't have a pulse. I was taken to the hospital and they found that I have rheumatic heart disease. 'It damaged my heart valves by rheumatic fever, which is caused by streptococcal bacteria' (A.N. this is from the website )"

"Cool I have bad lungs. Therefore this." Percy told her and pointed to his oxygen tank.

"Bad heart and can't always breath at night." Jason told her.

"Stomach disease" Frank said.

"High weird fevers and leg problems" leo told.

"My heart stops at night." Hazel told her very sweetly.

"I have a brain tumor." I told Piper as she took it all in.

We talked about nothing for a while and we finished eating the Chiron, Mr. D, and Mr. Mclean came back in.

"Well Piper I have to go back home but I will see you soon." Mr. Mclean told Piper.

"Okay dad have fun acting." Piper told her dad with a smile.

"Annabeth why don't you show Piper around. Leo you clear the table, Jason Unload the dishwasher, Percy load it, Hazel wash down the table from Percy's crumbs, and Frank take out the trash." Mr. D directed.

"I have 2 questions. Why do I always have to load? And why do you always say my crumbs?"

"Well seaweed brain, 1. You can't move back and forth quickly with your oxygen tank. And 2. You're the messiest." I told Percy. He scowled at me but did as he was told.

^^^^^^^^^^Annabeth Showing Piper around^^^^^^^^^^

"Okay so you met us. We are a lot like family since our parents pretty much disowned us." I told Piper.

"Oh I'm sorry!"

"It's okay we are are own family."

"You know how Percy, I think, said we all have a story. What's theirs and yours?"

" Okay well, Percy told me that when he was 4 his mom and him were walking home and he started having trouble breathing, his mom thought it was an asthma attack so she gave him his inhaler. That only made it worse, he started breathing super heavy his mom, Sally called 911 and they took him to the hospital. They found an infection in his lungs, once a month they have to be drained of the infectious liquid, and once in awhile the lumps that they drain burst and its disgusting. Anyway they found the infection and he was sent home a week later with antibiotics. They antibiotics didn't help at all they caused it to get worse. They found that they can't get rid of them so he is stuck with them forever. So a week after he was sent home his mom came into the living room to find him seizing on the floor. She rushed him to the hospital and they found that he is really sick. He now has to take many medications each day so he can eat, breath with the help of an oxygen tank, and not have seizure every hour. Percy came here when he was 12 when he got here. He was diagnosed when he was 4.

"Wow!"

"Yeah we are an interesting group." I told her.

"Yeah I agree with that" she said.

"Okay so this is our room. We all have roommates or supposed to just in case something bad happens at night we aren't alone. Jason and Percy are roommates because their cousins, Frank and Leo, Hazel and I were roommates but they figured that Hazel would be better on her own but with a monitor in her room so they can see her if anything bad happens."

"Okay."

"So any questions?"

"Ya do you guys ever have any contact with your families?"

"Yes for holidays. Thanksgiving is a big one we make a dinner and our family members come. Typically my parents and my little brothers come, Hazel's dad and her two half-siblings come, Frank's mom and grandmother, Leo's mom and dad, Jason's sister , mother, and father, Percy's mom, stepdad, and half-sister if they can get plane tickets since they don't have much money. Also he doesn't get along with his mom to well, as a child she married this guy to help with money and s far as I can tell he and Percy didn't get along well. He isn't too close with his step-dad either, he came after Percy was here."

"Wow I am pretty sure my dad, mom, and sibling would come. I feel bad for you guys."

"Oh it's okay like I said we are our own family." "Let's head into the living room it's game night tonight I have to beat Percy and jason at Scattergories!"

"Cool is it every wednesday night?"

"Yep we play a different game each time" didn't get along well. Then his step dad came into the picture after Percy was here so they don't see him much because they moved to Ohio."

" Wow what about Christmas? "

" We have that to same concept but not as many families come. Some have a long journey."

"Okay thanks"

"Your welcome. We have game night tonight if you want to cone it's in the living room. I need to beat Percy at Scattergories today!"

" Cool is it every week?"

" Yeah but we play different games"

" Coolness!"

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

"No Percy! Unicorn is not a real animal!" I yelled at Percy while playing Scattergories.

"But it is in my book!" Percy yelled back.

"What book?"

"The Baby Unicorn, By: Jean Marzollo and Claudio Marzollo."

"When did you read that I thought you were dyslexic?" Jason asked Percy.

"My mom read it to me when I was in the hospital! And yes I am dyslexic!" Percy answered him.

"Okay" Hazel told them.

"Let's get back to the game!" Leo complained.

############################The Next Morning###################################

Piper's POV

I came down to breakfast to find, Leo, Jason, Hazel, Frank, and Annabeth already there.

"Hey Piper how did you sleep?" Jason ask me.

"Good, why are you up this early?"

"We have school at 9 am every morning we get up to be ready." Annabeth answered me.

"Oh then where is Percy?"

"His school doesn't start until 11. He can't get up so early because he has to take his medicine as soon as he gets up and can only take it at 10:30. So his meds don't backfire." Jason answered.

"Oh, do I have school at 10 aslo?"

"Yep, so you might want to eat" Leo answered.

"Okay don't you want to get dressed because it's 9:45"

"Oh, no we are schooled here by Chiron." Annabeth said.

"Okay then" Then we ate in silence until Chiron came down with school books to start our lessons.

We started our lessons at 10. Then around 10:30 Percy sleepily stumbled in and sat down next to Annabeth.

"Hello Percy, did you take your meds this morning?" Chiron asked. Percy sleepily nodded.

"Well good please open your book to page 277." Chiron asked Percy while he opened his book. And scowled at it. We continued with the lesson but was interrupted when Percy started wheezing. We all turned our heads toward him. Annabeth rushed to his side while Jason ran upstairs and Chiron went to get Mr D. Annabeth was trying to calm him down which wasn't helping.

"Hey Hazel whats going on?" I asked Hazel.

"Well he forgot to bring his oxygen tank with him so he is having a severe asthma attack, that's what Jason went to get. And if he starts shaking rapidly that's just his daily seizure." Hazel answered me.

"Wow!"

"Yeah the kid has problems." Leo added.

"Leo!" Frank yelled.

"What! We all do his are just more severe." Leo tried to save himself. At this Jason rendered with a tank and tubes in his hand. He passed them to Annabeth and she fumbled around trying to turn it on and put the tubes in his nose. Then Mr. D and Chiron entered with a clip board.

"Was this just an asthma attack or a seizure?" Mr. D asked.

"Asthma attack" Annabeth answered.

"Okay you know the drill, don't leave him alone until he has it and don't forget to time it if it happens." Mr. D said while writing on his clipboard and then he walked back to his office. Then we continued onto the lesson like nothing happened. Then before I knew it, it was time for lunch. Everyone walked into the dining room. Percy, Hazel, Annabeth, and I sat down while, Jason, Leo, and Frank got the food. I'm emphasizing that Percy usually helped get food but now I knew he couldn't right now, he looked miserable. When the boys brought in the food he barely even touched his just stared at it.

"Percy did you eat breakfast?" Annabeth asked him. And he shook his head.

"Hey you know you need to eat or it will get worse." She scolded.

"Uhhhhhhh" Percy moaned.

"Just eat you'll feel better." Annabeth tried to convince him. But he wouldn't listen. Frank went to get Chiron or Mr. D. When Chiron came in with more tubes and an IV pole with a couple bags attached.

"If you ate you know I wouldn't have to do this." Chiron told Percy. Then Jason open Percy's mouth while Chiron put something down his throat and attached it to the milky white bag on the pole.

"What did that and why do they have it?" I asked Leo who was next to me.

"That's a feeding tube that they have to give him when he refuses to eat and gets even more sick than he already is." Leo explained.

"Oh okay." Percy looked mad and Annabeth gave him that look of 'I told you so' and we all just continued to eat. I later learned that this was a bad day that Percy had about once a week. I started to really feel bad for him.

The day flew by faster than I thought it would. Percy ended up interrupting English with his sizure. It lasted 5 minutes and after he had it he was taken to his room for an hour before he was able to walk again with the help of Jason. When it was time for dinner we saw Percy again but he didn't talk much he just ate than went back up to his room. That night was art night and Percy missed it. Leo had gitter in his hair and glue everywhere. It turns out that every night they have a different activity so we get to do fun things. When we went to are rooms, Annabeth went to check in on Percy and then came back to our room.

"Is he okay?" I asked her.

" Yeah he has a bad day about onc a week and this is what happens. He tipaccay doesn't eat then thst results in a stomach ache causin him to not want to eat which means feedimg tube. Then his sizure resulting later in the day which makes him feel horrible and not want to be around people."

"Wow and his parents don't care"

"Yeah thats the sad part we all have at least someone but his parents don't come around much"

"Thats sad"

"Yeah well we all have those kinds of storys, g'night Piper."

"Night Annabeth" That night I thought about all the things I have and the childhood I had and that they didn't have that. Most of them had parnets that cared about them or at least did. And I am guessing that Percy's mom didn't know what to say so she just lost touch with him. I wish I could give them the childhood I had. Maybe I could, but I know that I will have a good time here with my new family!

Okay so this was really fun to write and I really hope to continue writing this. I can't think of any thing to write on my other story right now but I will continue it. Please stay in touch with my stories. Part of the plot is from Forfun100 so check out her story. This is about 7 pages so pretty long for me anyway. Thank You for reading and please review! Good bye have a good week and stay in touch!
