Chapter 7! Sorry for ending the last chapter as a cliffhanger :) Thanks again for all the reviews! Check out M - Trench3's story Prom!
Annabeth's POV :
All I remember from last night was the sound of ambulances, I thought it was a nightmare until I woke up this morning in the hospital with a concussion and a broken wrist.
"Annabeth I'm so glad you're okay!" My mom says hugging me
"Yeah I'm fine!" I say hugging her back
I lay back down on my bed and think about last night. It was a blur.
"Mom was i alone last night?" I ask
"No sweetie. You were with Percy" she says
"Oh my gods! Is he okay!" I ask remembering him sailing out of the front of the car
"He's going to be fine eventually but he's in bad shape " my mom says
"But he has to be okay! I need him with my at world's!" I say
"Annabeth honey relax. He's not going to die" she says
"Will he be able to swim?" I ask
"The doctors don't know" my mom says
I start crying knowing this is all my fault
"Come on Annabeth let's go home and try to enjoy our Christmas " My mom says
"Fine but can I see Percy first? I ask
"He's not allowed to have visitors " The doctor says coming into the room.
"How long before she can do gymnastics again" My mom asks
"The concussion won't take long but it depends on the wrist" The doctor says
"So 6 weeks or so?" my mom asks
"Its hard to say but come back in 6 weeks and I will decide " They doctor says
"You don't understand! She's training for the Olympics! " My mom argues
"Mom its fine. I will work extra hard when I come back to gymnastics to make up for lost time now let's go" I say
"Bye" My mom says to the doctor
We walk out of my room and I see Percy laying on his bed looking broken. Percy's mom and Step dad are sitting in the waiting room with my dad.
"Annabeth!" My dad says hugging me
"Hey dad!" I say
Sally and Paul sit there looking so heart broken. I feel like crying again because I'm the one who put their son in the hospital and possibly ended his career. My dad catches me staring.
"Annabeth, why don't you go invite them over for supper tonight " my dad says
"Okay" I say a little uneasy
I walk over to Sally and Paul.
"Would you guys like to join us for a Christmas dinner and my parents are having a party after if you'd like to come.I feel so bad for putting Percy in the hospital!" I say
"Oh Annabeth that's so sweet of you! We would love to! Don't blame yourself for this dear" Sally says hugging me
*** Later that week***
Ever since we invited the Jacksons- Blowfits to our house, they've become really good friends with my parents. (A/N yeah this chapter is really awkward so I'm going to hurry with the Percabeth )
I have spent every single day with Percy waiting for him to wake up. It's killing me inside not being able to talk to him, hug him or joke with him.
"Miss you need to leave " a nurse says
"But what if he wakes up?" I ask
"I'll tell you! You have been here for two days straight go home and shower or whatever then you can come back later " she says
I drive to my house and run upstairs to the shower. I take a long hot shower before changing into some jeans, a long sleeve shirt and boots. I leave my hair down and brush my teeth. I grab Percy's Christmas present as well as all the pictures of us I have before I leave for the hospital again. I stop at Tim Horton's and grab a coffee and bagel.
"Hey" Jason calls from the waiting room
"Hey guys!" I say to Jason, Nico and Leo
"How are you feeling? " Nico asks
"I'm fine but I wish Percy would wake up " I say
"How did you crash?" Leo asks
"Well Percy offered to drive me home when Thalia forgot. A transport truck came out of no where's and hit us" I say shaking from the memory card
"Excuse me which one of you are Annabeth? " The nurse asks
"I am" I say
"Percy is awake and he's asking for you" she says
I run to Percy's room and sit beside him.
"Annabeth?" Percy asks with a groggy voice
"Yeah it's me" I say
"What happened on Christmas Eve?" he asks
"We were at Rachel's party and Luke spiked your drink. I was driving us home when we were hit by a truck" I say
"Oh Annabeth I'm so sorry! This is all my fault" Percy says
"No its not! You don't have to worry about anything except getting better " I say
"Okay! Merry Christmas! " Percy says holding out a present
"Merry Christmas Percy!" I say giving him a present
I open my present and my eyes fill with tears of joy.
"The necklace is beautiful Percy. The scarf is amazing " I say hugging him
"Thanks for the hoodie and ipod" Percy says
"You're welcome "I say
"Excuse me nurse" Percy calls
"Yes dear?" she asks
"What is wrong with me" he asks
"You strained your neck pretty badly, bruised your face severely, broke a few ribs and broke your collarbone" she says
"Will I be able to swim again?" He asks
"If everything heals right then I don't see why not" she says
"Can he leave now?" I ask the nurse
"Yes but you need permission before you can swim again" The nurse says
"Okay" we say
"So what do you feel like doing?" I ask
"Seeing my mom" he says
"Sure I can take you" I say
"Thanks Annabeth " Percy says kissing my forehead
He climbs out of bed and slips on his new hoodie.
"Percy can you put my necklace on me!" I ask
"Of course" Percy says smiling as he puts the gold heart on my neck
"Thank you" I say helping him walk
We get to Percy's house and shocker my parents were there(note the sarcasm )
"Percy!" Sally says hugging him and kissing his cheek
"Hey mom" Percy says
"Are you okay?" she asks
"Yup Annabeth is taking great care of me" he says making me blush
"Thats nice! Why don't you spend the day with her and I'll call all the family and invite them over for supper next week" she says
"That sounds awesome mom" Percy says kissing her
"Bye have fun and stay safe" she yells as we leave
"What do you want to do today?" I ask
"Nothing my face is all bruised and I look terrible "Percy says
"Perce you just got out of the hospital and I think you look strong and handsome" I say hugging him
"Okay can we just walk around" he asks
"Are you sure that's not too much?" I ask
"No I can handle it" he says
"Okay" I say smiling
Percy and I get out of my car and start walking. I put on the scarf Percy bought me.
"Your the best friend in the world Wise Girl " Percy whispers
"You're not so bad yourself Seaweed Brain" I laugh
"Obviously no one can bare the thought of not being my friend. You said yourself that I'm strong and handsome" he says teasingly
"Keep it up and I'll put you back in the hospital " I say
We continue to mock each other and tell jokes just like before. I realized I can't live without Percy and I really don't want to. I don't think I can make it to the Olympics without him with me.
Percy's POV :
My body aches but I don't care. I'm spending the entire day with Annabeth. I guess my Christmas wish came true because we're both happy and I think I might convince her to date me before the Olympics.
"Annabeth can we hang out tomorrow too?" I ask
"Absolutely " she says
"Great" I say smiling
****Next Week****
Today was the first time I would try swimming since the accident. I haven't gotten permission yet but I'm an athlete its my job to train. I quickly change into my shorts. I head to the blocks. I was about to get into the start position when a wave of dizziness hits me causing me to slip and hit my head off the block and I fell into the pool.
Annabeth's POV :
I called Percy seven times and he didn't answer. I started to panic so I went to the pool to see if anyone saw him. When I entered the deck, I saw none other than Percy Jackson laying in the bottom of the pool. I called 911 then jumped in to pull him out. The ambulance came and took Percy back to the hospital.
"Not again" Thalia says in the waiting room
"I know what was he thinking? " Piper asks
"We have to swim hurt just as you do for gymnastics " Nico says
"Yeah we have the Olympic qualifiers soon and we need Percy" Jason says
"Well he should still make smarter choices" Rachel says
"And let the team down?" Leo asks
"All of you just stop talking! You guys are seriously fighting over Percy's decisions? He needs our support so stop arguing about whether it was the right choice or not. We all make mistakes and don't worry about the Olympic qualifiers I will make sure he's ready" I say
"Thank you Annabeth" Percy says
"Percy?" I cry hugging him
"I'm okay. You don't have to cry" he whispers
"I thought you were hurt" I say
"No the doctor says I can start training in 2 weeks!" Percy cheers
"That's amazing" I say
"Holy Demeters garden! I have to get changed and stuff for that family supper" Percy says
"Its okay I remembered and brought some clothes" I say
"What would I do without you" he asks
I feel the heat rise to my cheeks as I hand him the clothes.
"Be stuck in the bottom of the pool" I say
"Alright Wise Girl we have to go" Percy says
"Okay" I say
We walk in comfortable silence until we reach the car.
"Annabeth would like to come to supper with me tonight? " Percy asks
"I wouldn't want to intrude on your family" I say
"No I want you to be there" he says grabbing my hand
"Well okay. What do I have to wear?" I ask
"It doesn't matter you always look beautiful but everyone will be dressed up" he says
"Okay what time?" I ask
"6 but you can come earlier if you want" he says
"Bye Percy" I say dropping him off
"Bye" he calls
I drive home and run to get changed
"Annabeth is that you?" my dad asks
"Yeah. Can I go to Percy's house for supper? " I ask
"Of course we are all going " he says
"Okay" I yell running to my room
I go through my closet trying to find something to wear. I take out my phone to text Rachel for help.
Annabeth: Rachel I need your wise advice on fashion and boys
Rachel : OMG I've been waiting for this! How can I help?
Annabeth : I'm going to Percy's house for supper and his whole family is going to be there! What do I wear?
Rachel: Your brown dress with pink flowers, baige sweater, wool socks and boots
Annabeth : Thanks RED:) Have fun with Leo tonight ;) 3 3 3
Rachel : No problem and thanks :)
I click off my phone before running to my closet and throwing on the outfit. I put my hair in a bun with a few curls hanging in my face. I leave my face make up free as usual.
"Annabeth let's go" My dad calls
"Coming" I yell
I pick up Percy's necklace and put it on
"You look great" My dad says
"Thanks" I say
"Where did you get that necklace? " My mom asks
"Percy gave it to me for Christmas " I say
"That's sweet isn't? " she says
"Yeah " I say thankful for the darkness in the car because I was positive that I was blushing
We walk to Percy's apartment and I can hardly keep my nerves under control. Sally opens the door with a smile on her face
"Oh you all look lovely " she says
"So do you Sally" my mom says hugging her
"Here have a seat" she says
We walk into a room with a huge table full of Percy's family but I didn't see Percy.
"Percy honey its time to eat" Sally calls
"Coming" Percy yells
He runs down the stairs wearing a white dress shirt that showed off his body. He looked perfect.
"Percy be careful we don't need you getting hurt" Paul says
"Sorry Paul" Percy says
"Hello I'm Fredrick Chase and this is my wife Helen." My dad says
"Hello sir I'm Percy, Annabeth's friend" he says with a charming smile
"Well you should meet the rest of the family" Paul says
We walk into the large room. There were people from Sallys family and Pauls. I was now concerned about if I looked good enough.
"Everyone I would like you to meet Frederick and Helen, family friends. This is their daughter Annabeth and Percy's friend" Sally says
I met everyone except for Percy's father.
"Everyone have a seat I'll get the food" Sally says
My parents sit down and start a conversation with Percy's aunt.
"Come sit with me Annabeth" Percy whispers
He takes my hand and takes me to his seat. We sit down in awkward silence.
"Smile Annabeth " Percy says tickling me
"Percy! Stop!" I say through fits of laughter
From the corner of my eye I could see Sally smiling. I look at Percy and see he's blushing too. We spend the rest of supper laughing and talking. After supper, everyone is gathered in the living room talking and laughing.
"Mom can Annabeth and I go upstairs? " Percy asks
"Yes you can" she says
Percy grabs my hand and pulls me up the stairs. We run up the stairs still holding hands until we reach Percy's room. I walk in Percy's room which is blue and covered in pictures of him and his friends.
"Wow I love your room" I say
"Yeah? Because there's more" he says
"Really? " I ask
"Yup!" Percy says pulling me onto his balcony
"Okay now I love your room!" I say
"As much as you love me?" Percy asks
"You wish" I tease
"No I'm not joking" Percy says hugging me
"What?" I ask
"Nevermind" Percy says
"No tell me!" I say
"No it doesn't matter" Percy blushes
"Percy! Tell me!" I whine
"I wanted to ask you on a date" Percy says
"Then why didn't you ask me?" I ask
"Because of the deal! But I can't just be your friend" Percy says
"Yes" I say
"Yes what? " Percy asks
"Yes I will go on a date with you" I say blushing
"Really?! Thank you" Percy says
"No thank you" I say
Percy looks at me for a minute before kissing me. It was perfect and behind us, there were fireworks. It was officially January the first and I was having my first kiss with my best friend and the boy of my dreams.
Chapter 7! Sorry I took a long time updating :)
