Percy Jackson shifted uncomfortably in front of a very familiar apartment building, his fingers hovering around the doorbell.
When was the last time he saw his mom's face?
When was the last time he even talked to her?
When was the last time he heard his mom's voice?
When was the last time he mentioned her in the past many months?
Percy didn't remember it. But he did remember it was Mother's Day. And he had to do something for her, no matter how small it might be.
He just wanted to see his mom's face. He just wanted to feel her touch. He just wanted to hear her voice. Just once.
He finally rang the doorbell. He heard sounds of footsteps approaching and door unlocking.
His mother anwered the door. She looked so old and weak that he almost cried.
He rushed and hugged her tightly. It felt so good that he wanted the moment to never end.
'Percy.' his mother said in a weak voice.
'Happy Mother's Day, Mom.' Percy replied.
Sally hugged him back and he just loved it beyond anything.
