So new chapter, yay! And Leo will be in this story, sorry I didn't include him last chapter! Anyways… Onward and forward! (I'm not original :3)

It was Friday night and Percy could hardly keep his eyes closed. He was really excited for tomorrow, Grover was going to pick him up, and they were going to meet everyone there. Also, he found out that their friend Leo, who is in the same grade and age as Percy, was going to accompany them on the trip to Piper's villa. Leo, Grover, and Percy were all going together, and they would meet Clarisse, Nico, Frank, Annabeth, Piper, Hazel, and Jason all at the villa. Percy was kind of disappointed that he wouldn't be able to see his boyfriend until later, but, he would survive.

Hopefully.

Percy's mom was out late at work again. She was a single mother, considering that his dad left when he was only 5 or so. His mom dated some men, but eventually gave up after her last fiancée, Gabe. Percy hated Gabe, and he never wanted to talk about what happened between them. The thought of those awful things that happened to him made his eyes water. Percy quickly wiped his eyes, then, he heard his phone buzz from the nightstand. Percy looked to see who was calling.

It was Nico.

As much as Percy wanted to pick up, he didn't, because when he picked up, his voice would e shaky and sad from his moment he just had, and he didn't want to explain anything to Nico.

So he didn't pick up the phone. Instead, he just watched it until the screen went dark.

Percy felt really bad, as much as he wanted to pick up the phone, he didn't. The phone screen lit up and buzzed again, signifying that Nico was still trying to get him to pick up the phone. Percy just ignored it again, and got up and left the room. He went downstairs to the kitchen so he could grab a glass of water. When Percy was done, he was leaning over the counter, sipping his water. After about a minute or two, Percy stood up straight, then, he went ridged. Call it his intuition, but he had the overwhelming feeling of being watched. Sure, this has happened to him once and a while, but this time, it felt all to real. Percy set down his glass, and closed all the shades on the bottom floor of the house, and locked all the doors. Percy bolted upstairs, and went in his room. He closed the shades and locked the doors to his room. Percy felt a little safer, but he still had the feeling of being watched. That, or someone was in the house.

That's impossible. Percy thought.

He had locked all the doors and shades, and windows. Percy would've known if someone was there. But, then again, he still has the feeling of being watched. His mom wouldn't be home until really late, and Percy couldn't wait that long. He picked up his phone to and noticed he had 5 missed calls from Nico, and a bunch of texts. Percy couldn't call him, he would start to question him on why he didn't pick up the phone, or why he didn't check his texts. He couldn't call Grover, he would just laugh and say he was paranoid, or just be really grumpy that he woke him up from a nap or something he was doing.

So, Percy called the next best person.

Percy quickly dialed the number and waited for them to pick up. He picked up the fourth ring.

"Hey Percy, what's up?"

Jason was pleasantly laying on the couch with Piper, watching a movie when his phone buzzed. He sat up a little and grabbed his phone from the coffee table.

"Who is it?" Piper asked.

Jason looked at the ID. It was Percy.

"Hey Percy, what's up?" He asked.

"Jason, I think there's someone in my house." Percy replied.

Jason sat up with a start and went to get his coat and shoes.

"Percy, I want you to stay put. Are the doors locked?" He asked seriously.

"Yeah, I'm in my room. My door is locked and the shade is down." He replied.

"Alright. Stay there, shut off the light, I'll be right over okay?" He asked.

"Okay, please hurry." Percy responded.

The call ended. Jason grabbed his car keys, when Piper came over.

"Jason, what's wrong?" She asked worriedly.

"Percy thinks there's someone in his house."

Percy ended the call with Jason, and got up from his bed, and turned off the light and hurried back over to his bed. He wrapped his arms around his legs, and waited quietly.

*BANG*

There was a loud crash downstairs. Percy wrapped his arms tighter around his legs, and buried his head in his knees. A soft whimper escaped his lips as he waited for Jason to come over.

*BANG*

There was another crash. Percy whimpered again. He grabbed his phone and texted Jason where to find the spare key so he could get in.

Five minutes later, there was another crash.

Two minutes later, he heard the front door open, footsteps run up the stairs to Percy's door. He heard someone knocking, and a voice followed.

"Percy, it's Piper, open up kay?" She said.

Percy slowly got up and unlocked the door and saw Piper standing there. When he opened the door fully, she pulled him into a tight hug while tears fell from his eyes. She shushed him and kept hugging him. Soon, another pair of feet came over towards them. Jason was rushing down the hall after he searched the house to see if anyone was still here. When he saw Percy, his heart broke a little. Whenever Percy was with his friends, he was so full of life, confident, and was really out there. But when he was alone…

Jason rushed over and hugged Percy with Piper. When they pulled away, Percy was drying his eyes, he hated it when he cried in front of his friends.

"Are you okay Percy?" Piper asked.

Percy nodded his head, "Y-yeah, just shaken up I guess." He looked over to Jason, "I heard some crashes, is anything broken downstairs?"

Jason nodded, "Yeah, but just some glass cups, and two chairs were knocked over. I cleaned the glass and put the chairs back over to the table." "Okay, thanks Jason, and you too Piper," Percy responded. "No problem, but one question, why didn't you call Nico?" Piper asked softly. Percy sighed and looked down, then proceeded to tell them what happened.

"Percy, your only gonna worry him more if you don't call or text him back, why don't you do that now?" Jason said to him. Percy shook his head, he couldn't bring to tell Nico what happened, but at the same time, he really just wanted to see his boyfriend. "Can you call him? I might cry again if I try," Percy said quietly. Jason sighed and took out his phone and dialed Nico's number.

"Ciao?* Jason?" Nico said.

"Yeah, hey, I need you to come over to Percy's house, like, right now." Jason responded.

"Percy? Che cosa è successo?* Is he alright?!"

"Yeah, he's okay, just come over right now." And with that, he ended the call.

Percy, Jason, and Piper all moved down to the living room, where they sat on the couch and waited for Nico to arrive. Just about five minutes later, knocks could be heard on the door.

Jason got up and went over to the door, and opened it. Nico rushed past him, and immediately rushed towards the living room where Percy and Piper were. He ran and tackled Percy in hug.

"Tesoro, stai bene? Ti sei fatto male?*" Nico asked, observing Percy for injuries. Percy shook his head, saying he was fine. Percy then proceeded to tell him the whole story, starting from why he didn't pick up the phone or call Nico.

Nico was heartbroken. He kissed all over his boyfriends face. Jason and Piper left soon after, and Nico proceeded to stay the night with Percy to make sure he was safe.
