Percy's POV
I sat on my bed and smiled. I didn't know how long it would take her to remember me. I remember when we were friends in middle school before she moved. I remember hanging out with Annabeth Chase the, ironically, smart blonde. I didn't hear about the hot blonde next door. I'm just gonna keep messing with her until she remembers me. I heard a knock on my door so I got out of bed and opened it.
"Perseus Jackson," Annabeth said as I opened the door,"was it that hard to just say, 'Annabeth it's me Percy Jackson from middle school.'?" I smiled and she continued,"You've been messing with me this whole time haven't you?"
"Yep," I said inviting her in,"I can't believe you don't remember me Wise Girl. "
"I've just had a lot on my mind," she said. "I do remember you Seaweed Brain, how could I forget those huge green eyes? Wait so what does this mean for us since the whole thing about last night?"
"I don't know," I said sitting down on my bed. "We've dated before. "
She looked at me and said,"Percy, that was in middle school. We're adults now. And still, I don't know a lot about you."
"There's really nothing new. I mean I worked for a business but I got laid off," I said looking at her. "Still haven't heard from my dad since my thirteenth birthday. How are you and your dad's relationship going?"
"I haven't really talked to him lately. I still haven't heard from my mom," she looked at me with tears in her eyes. I hugged her and she pulled away. "I'm sorry, Percy I'm not ready for anything serious right now. Oh crap! I'm gonna be late for work. I gotta go. Bye Percy," she wiped her eyes and ran out the door, leaving me alone.
"Bye, Wise Girl," I whispered. I sat on my bed and turned on the TV. I watched some show like Friends for a while then my phone rang. "This is Percy Jackson. Who is this?"
"Percy this is Thalia," a voice said over the phone.
" Thalia! Where are you?" I asked amazed by my cousin calling. I hadn't talked to her since high school. But we went to elementary and middle school together too.
" I'm at central park. I need a favor." She said through the phone.
"Anything for my cousin," I said.
"Jason ran off while we 'were visiting each other," she said and I could hear the sadness in her voice. " He told me that he got a girl pregnant and I blew up at him. He's only nineteen, Percy. Who knows where he is right now. I'm really worried. He might be at the girls house. Her name is piper McLean. "
"I can go to this girl's house if you want me to," I said while putting on my shoes," and you can check other spots that he's usually at. "
" Thanks so much, Percy. It means a lot,' she said hanging up the phone.
I rushed out the door and hopped in my car. I drove as fast as I could without breaking the law. I arrived at a huge house and I knocked on the door. A young girl opened the door. She was probably Jason's she and she had light brown skin and brown hair, which was braided over her shoulder.
"Can I help you?" the girl asked looking at me with questioning eyes.
" Yeah I'm Percy Jackson. I'm Jason Grace's cousin. Is he here by any chance?" I said looking at her.
She nodded and said," Jason, come here. " he shouted something back and the girl turned back to me. "I'm piper by the way. Jason's girlfriend. "
" Oh you're Piper McLean. Nice to meet you. Thalia told me Jason might be here," I said shaking her hand. Then Jason came up to the door and I said," Jason! How's my favorite cousin?"
" Please don't 'favorite cousin' me. I know Thalia sent you. I don't want to talk to her right now," Jason said turning around but piper stopped him.
" Jason you can't avoid her forever. I guess I'm gonna have to address the elephant in the room," she said dragging him back toward me and her. "You can't avoid her because I'm pregnant. This situation can't be pushed aside. We're gonna have to be parents soon. So grow up Jason and talk to your sister. "
