Hey, guys! Sorry i haven't updated in a while! I had some important/sad family stuff going on, and I was on a Washington D.C. trip! The inauguration was cool...so yeah. Any who, I hope you like this chapter! And thanks to everyone who reviewed/favorited/followed!


"But here's my number!" Thalia belted out to the radio.

"So call me maybe!" Piper chimed in.

I just laughed and leaned back into the car seat, tired after the concert.

"Annie! You're supposed to sing, too!" Thalia reprimanded me jokingly.

"I just sang twelve songs in front of, like, ten thousand people. You can't blame me," I protested.

"Eh," My two friends both stuck their tongues out at me, giggling. Then they started singing along to the next song that came on, "I Knew You Were Trouble" by Taylor Swift.

"You found me, you found me, you found me-e-e-e!" Piper shouted out, right as we felt a bump.

"What-" I started, peering out the window. Then the unthinkable happened.

Glass from the windows crashed into the car interior as we were thrown forward. Screams of not only the three of us, but other unfamiliar kids filled my ears as my vision blacked out.


I vaguely remember waking up to a white room once, but I quickly passed out again. When I woke up the second time, I heard the voice of a lady say, "I can't believe of all people, Annabeth Chase, Thalia Grace and Piper McLean came rushing into our hospital."

Another feminine voice replied, "Yes, it's so-look, Georgia, I think she's waking up!"

I opened my eyes fully to see the white room again. Two heads popped into my view from my laying down position.

"Hello!" One of the women began to talk. She had bleach-blonde hair, cherry red lips and a nurse's outfit that didn't exactly compliment her body. She looked to be around 35. Judging by her voice and her name tag, I think she's Georgia.

"How are you feeling, sweetie?" Georgia continued, staring at me as if I was going to suddenly going to break.

"Fine, thanks," I sat up a bit, but Georgia and the other nurse pushed me back down.

"No, rest for a little longer," The other nurse told me. I could see that she had bubblegum pink hair, a pale complexion and was also wearing a blue nurse uniform. Her name tag read Marta.

"Okay," I settled back down. "Can you tell me what happened? I only remember bits and pieces."

"Well, honey," Georgia started. "You and your friends crashed into another car. The car had, hm, I think seven other teenagers."

"And as for your friends," Marta took over. "Piper and Thalia are okay. Piper came out with only some cuts and bruises. Thalia was unconscious for seven hours, but she's awake now. She has a broken arm, though. But, you, my dear were a coma for two days."

"Two days?" I repeated.

"Yes, but Miss McLean and Miss Grace never left. Not once," Georgia gestured outside. "They've been waiting."

"Can I see them?" I asked.

"Well," The nurses checked a monitor, flipped through a few papers and examined me before agreeing.

"You'll be out probably in a few hours," Marta told me as she opened the door.

"Annabeth!" Piper and Thalia shrieked, dashing to my bed.

"I was so worried!" Piper gave me a gentle hug. Thalia copied her motions, saying, "Did you hear who we hit?"

"Yeah, teenagers."

"Not just teenagers," Piper said seriously. "Teens coming from your concert."

My eyes widened and I sucked in a breath. "Really?"

They nodded solemnly. "We haven't met them yet, we were waiting for you."

I rubbed my face, thinking. "I'm being released in a few hours. We can meet up with them somewhere."

"I think they're all still here," Thalia glanced at Piper. "One of them just woke up, too. Like an hour ago."

"Yeah, but I don't want to meet up with them like this," I motioned to my gown.

"That's a good idea," Piper giggled.

"Guys," Thalia suddenly said.

"Yeah?"

Thalia took a deep breath. "I heard the names of the kids we hit. One was named Jason. Jason Grace."
