Percy's POV

"Great job boys. Be ready to board the plane at three sharp." Coach Hedge, our manager, said to us as we walked off the field and into the locker room to change.

The locker room has one rule, and one rule only: what happens in the locker room stays in the locker room. Anything discussed in the locker room is not to be shared outside the locker room. Today's topic of discussion was Annabeth and her friends.

"Are they really that hot?" Leo asked while shrugging on a shirt. I nodded in response.

"Perce here is just starstruck on the girl he struck with a ball," Travis added, unhelpfully.

"Am not!" I shouted.

"Denial is the first stage of being in love," Chris stated.

"Oh, so are you the expert on love now?" I retorted. "What about you, Travis? I saw the way you looked at Katie." After Travis and Katie had barged into the hospital room, we all talked some more before us guys had to leave to go to practice. It was a few hours ago that we left the hospital.

"That blue slushie ruiner! Hades no! I don't like her!"

"Denial is the first stage of being in love," Conner sang.

"You guys are hopeless," Jason sighed as he grabbed his bags and left the locker room.

"That dude needs to have some fun. He's so uptight," Leo commented, clucking at Jason's retreating form.

"Don't worry," Beckendorf reassured Leo. "Tonight's game is in Los Angeles. I'm sure we can have lots of fun after the game."

"I like the way you think, bro," Leo smiled.

"I'm gonna go visit the hospital quick before we have to leave," I told the boys. They looked at me.

"Missing her already?" Conner smirked. The truth was, I just really wanted to see Annabeth again. For some reason, I just couldn't get her outta my head. What is wrong with me? I'm starting to sound like a bad love song.

"Whatever," I replied and walked out of the locker room. Nico caught up with me and we walked to our cars together.

"Say hello to Thalia for me!" He shouted as I was about to enter my car.

"You like her?" I asked him. He gave me a 'no duh' look.

"She likes black and isn't that creepy! Of course I like her!" I rolled my eyes and stuck the keys into the ignition.

Thalia's POV

I glanced at the TV before returning my gaze to Annabeth. The doctors said she wasn't brain dead, just in a coma from the shock of the impact. They said she should wake up within a few days. I really hoped so. I missed my Annie.

"Sorry guys, but I have to leave," Piper told us, standing up from her seat next to Annabeth's bed. "I have some cases at the firm I need to finish up and my flight leaves in thirty minutes." Piper was a lawyer at her mother's firm in Los Angeles. She was pretty good as a lawyer because she was good at speaking and persuading people to side with her.

"Hey, how's everyone doing?" A familiar voice asked from the doorway.

"Luke!" I yelled as I embraced him in a hug.

"Hey babe," He chuckled as he kissed my cheek. "How's Annie?"

"Fine, I guess. But you'll never guess who stopped by to see Annabeth this morning."

"Who?"

"Travis and Connor Stoll, Percy Jackson, and Nico di Angelo!" Luke smiled.

"Ha-ha. Very funny Thalia."

"She's not joking," Katie piped in. "That stupid, ignorant, selfish Stoll spilled his stupid slushie all over me!"

"Ummm, ok?" Luke awkwardly said. I was about to say something else when the door opened, silencing the whole room.

"Hi," Percy said from the doorway. He nervously scratched the back of his neck. "I thought I'd stop by quick before we had to leave for LA." We all gaped at him. He pushed past us to stand by Annabeth's bedside. He gazed at her, deep in thought.

"Percy Jackson?" Luke asked in awe. I smirked at him.

"Told ya," I whispered to him. Percy turned around to address Luke.

"Yeah, that's my name. And you are...?"

"Luke Castellan. Thaila's fiancé." At those words, Percy started laughing.

"You're engaged?" Percy asked me.

"Did you not notice my ring?" I asked him back. I stuck out my left hand so he could see the ring. Percy continued to laugh as he pulled out his iPhone.

"Would you mind if I got a picture of you two?" I shrugged and Luke put his arm around me. I made sure you could see the ring in the picture. Percy snapped the picture and furiously texted on his phone. Weird dude.

He stayed for a while longer, talking and looking at Annabeth. He left after he glanced at his watch.

"The boys will kill me if I'm late again!" He exclaimed as he dashed out of the room.

Jason's POV

Percy sprinted onto our private airplane just as the clock struck three.

"How's Juliet?" Asked Will. He was sprawled out on one one row of seats, reading a magazine.

"Juliet?"

"You know, as in Romeo and Juliet? The most romantic couple on Earth."

"Only you, Will, would make an allusion to Shakespearean literary characters," Jake commented.

"Only you would use literary terms as a retort," Will said back.

"Touché." Right about then, Nico stomped back to the body of the plane after using the restroom.

"I hate you Percy," Nico grumbled as he flopped down onto a seat.

Percy grinned, "Hey, don't shoot the messenger!"

"What's Nico angry about now?" Leo asked from the seat next to mine.

"Our dear Nico is mad because he just learned his crush is engaged to a guy that is not him."

"That qualifies for something to be angry about," I agreed.

"The guy she's marrying looks so... so bright! He was wearing a yellow shirt! YELLOW! What dweeb wears yellow shirts when they could wear black!"

"Hey!" Will exclaimed, looking at his yellow shirt.

"We are starting to take off now," The pilot informed us as we felt the sensation of the airplane moving.

The rest of the airplane ride was spent joking around and having a popcorn/shaving cream fight. We climbed off the airplane and into a waiting limousine. The limousine drove us to the Los Angeles Wolves' stadium. An hour later, we were dressed in our navy and white uniforms stretching on the field.

The game was pretty uneventful. We won, 2-0. I hit a double and scored a run. After the game, Leo, Travis, Conner, Jake, and Beckendorf took me to a bar in Los Angeles. They claimed I needed to 'let loose and have some fun'.

As soon as we pushed open the doors, Leo went and bought us all a round of beers. We spent about an hour at the bar, then we proceeded to go to a casino. I plopped down at a poker table.

After an hour and a hundred dollars later, I decided I was tired of losing. My alcohol-addled brain thought it would be a great idea to cheat. So, instead of saying I had a pair of twos, I said I had a Royal Flush. I stole cards from the empty table next to me so it looked like I had a Royal Flush. I sat down my cards and won quite a bit of money. I decided to play for a bit more.

I was doing pretty well, until I heard footsteps approaching me. I turned around to see a cop holding handcuffs.

I was in so much trouble.

"Jason Grace, you have been bailed out. We will see you again on Saturday for your court hearing," the police officer said as he unlocked my prison cell.

The night I spent in jail sobered me up pretty well. I'm never going to hear the end of this from the guys.

"Jason Grace, you're lucky you have me," Mrs. Lupa, the team's lawyer, said as I was escorted to the door of the police station.

"Sorry Mrs. Lupa," I replied. "You can get me out of this, right?"

"No, I can't. Since you have been arrested in California, not New York, I can't legally be your lawyer. I only have a valid license in New York."

I'm officially screwed.

"The good news is I have a friend who owns a lawyer firm in Los Angeles. She said she would be happy to help you, but she is busy on a case right now. She said she would send her daughter, who, from what I have heard, is just as good, if not better, than her mother."

"What's her name?"

"Piper. Piper McLean."

Wow. Thank you guys so much for all the follows, favorites, and reviews! They mean a lot and help me to write faster! I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
