A/N I don't feel like saying anything.
Juniper and She Who Should Not Be Named walked in. I merely glared and then look down.
"Percy?"
I didn't answer.
"Percy."
Nothing.
"Percy!"
Lalalalala!
"Percy answer me!"
"Whatever." My voice was hoarse. I have no idea why.
"Percy, please."
"No! You cheated," I screamed, and Grover and Juniper silently left the room. "Who was that guy anyway?"
"Jason." She said silently, "But he was hitting on me!"
"Then why did you let him touch you? Why did you even let him in? Or I don't know-push him off? What about saying 'I have a boyfriend in the room next to this one?" I snarled.
"I tried to!" she cried.
"Then why were you giggling?"
"It was uncontrollable!"
"You don't laugh when I go like this." I put my hand on her arm.
"That's because you never do!"
"But I thought you weren't touchy-touchy." I said quietly.
She looked down. "I'm sorry."
"I know. But I still can't trust you."
Her lip trembled. "I know."
My jaw clenched.
"I'll sleep in Sophie's bed."
"You don't have to. We're friends."
She nodded. And left the room.
After an hour of trying to sleep, Annabeth started crying. I was about to feel bad for her until I remembered what she did. Too bad.
That morning, I was up first. I got dressed, knowing that I ruined my relationships with both Annabeth and Sophie. On my way to the living room to watch something, to get my mind off things, I caught Grover switching the positions of name cards. He was putting me far away from the two girls mentioned before.
He saw me, "S-sorry Percy. We heard a little bit of the fight and, uh, felt that this was best."
"It's fine…did you ever find out who that guy was exactly? I got a name: Jason."
"I didn't get too much but he said he worked with her…like in the architect world."
"He was completely mortal…what did you do with him anyway? I was going to deal with him when that whole anger thing came…"
"Uh…"
(A/N You know how in movies people have mini flashbacks while talking to other people when they are asked a question? This next scene is kind of like that. It's also in 3rd person.)
"Who… are… you?" Grover punched him with every word.
"I work with Annabeth! I'm an architect!" He was coughing.
Grover then got in an elevator and rode in comfortable silence with him next to me. He kicked down a door and tied him to a bed. The goat boy then proceeded to close the door and ride back up.
"Grover!"
"Uh… you know that the 4th floor is a really bad place to hang…and I don't remember…"
"Whatever. Can we beat him up later?" I asked.
"If you can get the rest of the guys, I'm in."
"Cool."
"Hey Percy." Travis said behind me. "What did you and Annabeth do last night?" Travis is very suggestive. Before I thought about it I whirled and socked him in the face.
"Daddy? Why did you do that?"
I closed my eyes, my back to her. To my left, there was a window open. Without a second thought, I ran and jumped out of it.
Annabeth's POV (I know I never do this but it was necessary here)
The first thing I saw was Percy punching Travis. Then him jumping out of a window.
"Percy!"
Connor already had gear on. "We got this." He said and he too jumped out of the window.
Connor POV (**)
I saw Percy free falling, but he didn't seem to make any effort to stop or summon the ocean to him. I was on a bungee cord, which we had installed on the roof before we even went into the building. The wind was blowing through my hair. Ah, the fun of free falls. But I had a mission. I grabbed Percy.
"A little early to commit suicide you know."
"Whatever…"
By this time, people noticed us and started screaming.
"By the way Perce, the end of the cord is coming soon so it might hurt a little…"
He didn't realize it, but I had strapped him on me so I couldn't let go of him.
"Um…Percy? Put your arms and legs up like your sky-diving."
"Why?"
"Because we're going to go splat!"
A/N I'm done now. Cliff hangers + A-DOA = 3 Love you guys (probably a bit too much) and review for next chapter!
