Chapter 2: What the what?
Emily's POV
I COMPLETELY forgot about getting fired. Who needed a job when you had the hottest boyfriend in the world! I was at a loss for words when he asked me to be his girlfriend. I barely managed a "yes" before flushing red. He hugged me tight.
"No need to be nervous, okay?" he said in a soothing tone.
"Yeah. My name is Emily." I sputtered.
"So I guess I'll see you later, I start work tomorrow at 8:00, if you want to visit." he said.
"Yeah." I said.
The next day…
I couldn't stop thinking about Bryce. Since I didn't have a job, I would just stay at the McDonalds with him. I was walking down the busy street when I felt two hands around my waist. I first predicted it was Bryce, but he was nice and gentle, while whoever this was forceful. I shook the person off and I turned around. It was Jack Semertine! (A/N You may recognize Jack from my other stories, but I just keep bringing him back as a total jerk face.)
"Back off, Jack." I said coldly.
He refused and pulled me into an ally. I screamed for help, but he covered my mouth. He tried to pull up my shirt. Great, the day directly AFTER I get a boyfriend, I get raped. Just seconds later, a wave of water splashed in the ally. Because I was unable to swim, I panicked. Then I realized I was breathing fine. The water washed away, and I saw a completely dry Bryce standing with the water retreating into his body. He blushed furiously, then I realized I lost my shirt. He quickly ran off, probably thinking he ruined it. How did he make that colossal wave retreat directly back to him, WITHOUT getting soaked? I got changed, than ran after him. I soon found sitting at the counter of the McDonalds, crying. His boss pulled him out and sent him to the back to cook. He didn't see me, and I felt depressed. I waited there until his shift was done, then walked behind him. He must have not noticed me because he didn't do anything. Then something surprising happened. Out of thin air, he made a heart out of water. I was touched until I saw it split in half. He THEN made a display of what happened, and he broke into tears.
"It's all my fault!" He yelled at the wind.
"No it's not." I said before thinking.
He turned to see me standing there, and he stopped crying.
"I am so sorry, you probably hate me now." He said feeling terrible.
"Bryce, you saved me from Jack. It wasn't your fault at all. I still love you." I said truthfully.
"I believe you, but it was my fault that happened to you. I should have been there for you," he cried.
"Bryce, you can't always be there for me. You can't put all that work on yourself." I said trying to comfort him.
"Okay," he managed.
I leaned in and kissed him. I felt terrible putting him through this. How could I help?
"Bryce, how do you have those water powers?" I asked, suddenly realizing I shouldn't have asked.
"FATHER, SHE HAS FOUND OUT!" he yelled, startling me. Suddenly, a man in swim trunks and a Hawaiian shirt appeared in front of Bryce.
"Son, I am disappointed in you for letting the mortal know." The man's voiced boomed.
"SHE IS NOT A MORTAL!" came another voice behind me. I turned to find a man standing behind me.
"Apollo," Bryce said by bowing in front of the man behind me.
"Bryce Jackson, you may stand." The man named Apollo said.
"I have come to claim my daughter," Apollo said.
"In the McDonalds parking lot?" Bryce said with a confused look, making everyone laugh.
"Wait! First I would like to recite a poem!" Apollo said.
"NOOOOO!" both Bryce and who appeared to be his father yelled.
"Okay! My dear Emily, have you ever read the PJO series?" Apollo asked me.
"Yes I have…" I started, but then I realized what happened.
THIS WAS ALL REAL!
"Pretty good series, Percy pretended to be Rick Riordan to protect his identity." Bryce explained.
"Wait, you have the same last name, are you two…" I started but Bryce cut me off.
"Yes, we are brothers. He never wrote about me in his books because he never knew I was his brother until last year, but then I was kidnapped by Hera. She said Percy would be next." Bryce said. (A/N Pretend the HoO series has not occurred yet)
"So I am Apollo's daughter?"
"Yes"
"Then you must be Poseidon, correct?" I said pointing to Bryce's father.
"Yes" the god said.
"So now we go to camp Half-Blood, right?"
"Yes, the series was made to entertain, but sometimes we tell certain mortals that it is all real." Apollo said.
"Well then, let's go!" I exclaimed.
