Hey guys! How's life? I'm extremely sorry for not updating lately, its just that I recently came home from France and school's about to start so things are getting hectic. My mom just got a job teaching french at a public school and she just started last week, and now my little sister is going to that same public school and she starts school tomorrow. I still have two weeks left of break, and I don't even know what classes I'm going to be in. But that's the story of my life, the future is a mystery, and in my opinion, the people who try to solve it end up getting the wrong answer. So many plans go wrong. Sorry again for not updating and to make it up to you guys, I'm going to post two chapters instead of one. So, here you go.
"Why don't you leave him here and I'll take care of the punk?" Gabe said. I didn't want to leave the poor unnamed kid with this creep, but I was exhausted and the alcohol fumes were starting to get to me. The next thing I know, I'm leaving the child with the manager, and left.
As I exited the store with my groceries, I kept thinking about what Hazel had said. I came to the conclusion that she was right. I had definitely over reacted, but I decided that I should wait until I made the final decision on weather or not I should go back to Luke. I pulled out my phone to check the time, and found two things. 1) I was still on time with my schedule, and 2) I had 6 missed calls from Luke. I had turned my phone off while I was shopping so that I would not be disturbed. I entered my car, a mini cooper, started the car, and dialed.
The logical part of me was screaming at me to not do it, but I couldn't resist the temptation. I had to do it, I had to talk to him and get my feelings out. Before I could back out, I dialed the number and waited for Luke to pick up. While I was waiting, I almost chickened out. My brain was telling me "What happened to not calling him yet? What happened to waiting?"
I was about to hang up, when he finally answered. "Annabeth?" I didn't answer for a couple of seconds and waited until he was about to hang up until I finally exploded. "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?! YOU KNOW HOW MUCH I WANTED TO SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH YOU! Ever since you inherited your dad's company, you and I spend less and less time together. I'm tired of that, and I think I want to take a break for now. I'm not sure but I'll let you know by the end of the week." I had said my part and hung up.
I needed to talk to Thalia right away. So as soon as I had said my piece, I dialed her number. After two rings, she answered. "Hey Annabeth, you got everything you need?" she said almost as soon as I had said "I talked to Luke" We giggled and she told me that I could go first. I told her what had just happened and just as I was finishing, I screamed. AAHHHH! I tried to swerve, but then everything went black.
Thalia's POV
"Annabeth?" I said after I had heard the scream. "Hello? ANNABETH?! Are you there? Hold on, I'm calling 911. Just hang on." Gods I was so worried. My hands were shaking as I dialed the number.
"Hello what's your emergency?" a voice said on the other end. "My friend, she's been in an accident. You have to help her." I said with tears welling up in my eyes. "Miss, you have to calm down. I can't help her unless you do that. Understand?" I didn't want to calm down, but I had to help Annabeth. "Okay" I said once I had somewhat calmed down. "Now, do you know the location?" the person on the other end said. "She was on her way home after shopping from Target. That's all I know." I responded. "Was she talking to you from her phone? If so, I can track her cell phone if you give me the number." I gave her the number and hung up once she told me that paramedics were on the way.
Once I had finished with that, I called everyone. Piper, Hazel, Juniper, her parents. I didn't want to call Luke, but I figured that he deserved to know. Even after what he had done to her.
CLIFF HANGER! I'll be posting the next chapter sometime today. So I'll talk to you then. Bye for now!
