Why me?
"Annabeth hey how are- who is this?" my twin asked.
Rebecca Chase. My twin, yet she always seemed so much prettier than. Becca was dressed in a simple red dress that came down about mid-thigh. She worked as a personal trainer/ physical therapist.
"Lexi, our sister. Lexi this is my twin Rebecca. I'll explain later, but for now where's the school. We need to get her registered," I asked quickly not wanting to explain things.
"Screw that wheres the beach?" Lexi asked.
"Whoah what's with the language?" I asked
"I'm eleven, so I got my bathing suit in my purse, where's the bathroom," she said quickly.
"Down the hall first door on you right," Rebecca said. With that the little girl took off.
"Isn't she just a bucket of sunshine?" I asked sarcastically.
"You gotta give her a chance Annie," She said.
"Get out of the car Lexi," I said to the little girl sitting in my silver jeep.
"No! I want to go to the beach!" She stomped her foot in ignorance. I looked dead into her eyes and noticed that they were now a dark grey, I thought they were blue? I told her in a steady voice," We will be here until April, that's four months. We will have plenty of time for the beach."
"I don't trust you," she said pouting.
"Well too bad because you are going to get out of this car right now!" I yelled at her. She cringed a little but didn't back down, instead she screamed very loudly,"REBECCA!"
My sister came running out with a towel in her hair and heels on her feet.
"What's the matter? I am in the middle of a meeting!" She asked.
"She won't get out of the car!" I half-yelled at her. She kneeled down to look at her.
"Annabeth, why don't you go inside while I take care of Lexi," she said. She brushed off her hands from kneeling on the ground, stood up and put her hand on her hips. Rebecca looked just like a mother, surprisingly.
I walked up the stairs to the second floor, we were in the back lot,on the beach. I stood there for a few minutes when I heard footsteps behind me.
"Go change, we are having dinner on the beach, and hurry up I have the picnic basket ready," he said. I turned around and saw Percy with a mischievous smile. I smiled at him and went inside.
We sat on the beach drinking mountain dew and eating a homemade pizza, watching the waves lap at the sand. It was sweet. Percy is an amazing chef too, so that helps.
"Thank you Percy. I needed this. I have no idea what I am going to with her," I broke the comfortable silence.
"It's okay Annabeth, what are best friends for?" He said smirking.
"Oh shut-up, but how am I supposed to take care of a ten-year old girl?"
"Eleven."
"Doesn't matter. But I didn't even have my own mother around as a kid. I don't even know what to do. Why me? Why not Rebecca?" I asked him.
"I don't know. What I do know is that you can figure it out. Athena picked you for a reason. Just wait."
"I don't know." He smiled, turned to me and said," Every wants happiness, no one wants pain. But you can't have a rainbow without a little rain."
That was always my favorite quote as a teenager. He knew it too, with that mischievous twinkle in his eyes.
"Quoting my favorite quotes are not going to help me right now," I said rubbing my eye.
What he did next surprised me, he looked me dead in the eyes and said,"Annabeth, trust me, everything's going to be okay."
"ANNABETH!" I heard my name being called from the other side of the house.
I came out of my bedroom and saw Rebecca sitting at the table, glasses on her face.
"Yeah Becky," I asked.
"Well I know you make a lot of money and everything already, but we are going to be here for a while. I know you were just going to be a lifeguard at the beach or something. But this is the opportunity of a life-time…" She rambled on until I interrupted her.
"Rebecca what are you talking about," I asked.
"I can't do it because I am going to be too busy with Leo and the wedding and everything. But you can do it," A smile growing on her face.
"Rebecca what are you talking about," I shouted at her.
"I'm talking about you being a Victoria Secret Angel."
