Ola amigos! I understand probably not many people will be reading this because it has been a while since I last posted but that was because I have been really busy, I know lame excuse, and I also have sort of lost my passion to write. But here I am this story was on hiatus without anyone knowing and I will probably expand the times I post which will mainly be on weekends cause school is a pain in the ass! So here is another chapter I probably wont be as good because I have not written in a while.
Percy's POV
Tonight was Leo's party and I had been fortunate enough to be able to persuade my parents to go out tonight so I could easily leave and come back before they noticed. I didn't really bother with dressing up nice cause it's just a party, I am bound to have something spilt on me. I looked down at my watch and it read 6:45. Shit! I gotta pick up Rachel! I hurried out to my car and sped off to Oakland close, which was unfortunately a fair way away. I made it to her house ten minutes late, which might I add was fairly good. I walked up to her front door and pushed the bell.
Rachel POV (just something different)
I am freaking out right now. I have never gone to a high school party before. What am I meant to wear?! I pulled open the door of my cupboard and looked at the fairly plain and unimpressive wardrobe. I had to settle on a pair of jeans covered in little drawings and a loose green singlet. I really hope this is good enough. To be honest I really wanted to impress Percy he's one of the first boys to actually take notice of me before so I am really excited and scared. I made sure that I put on the minimal of make up I had, cause it's a party so I am meant to wear makeup, right? I stood in front of shoe collection rocking on the heels of my sock clad feet. Suddenly I hear the doorbell ring so I slip on a pair of sneakers and jog down the stairs to the front door.
I swing the door open and find Percy standing there in casual clothes. Whew made the right clothing decision! "Hey, Rachel? Hello! Earth to Rachel!" Percy starts waving his hands in front of my face and I snap out of my little trance. "Hmm" I hum and he says, "I asked are you ready to go?"
"Oh. Yeah all ready, sorry sometimes I blackout when I am focused on something else," I say shuffling out the door and Percy leads me to his car and drives us off to his friends house.
Percy parks the car and leans over towards his door when I ask, "Umm Percy who's house is this?" considering he only told me that it was his friends party. "Oh Leo Valdez," he says but I just stare at him with a confused expression until he remembers I haven't met many people yet. "Right, he's yay big," he says referencing his height by holding his hand up to his shoulder, "curly hair, brown eyes and he'll probably be the guy running around drunk."
I laughed at his abrupt statement about the Leo child being drunk. Percy had hopped out of the car and jogged around to my side and opened my door for me all while a sat patiently really not expecting that a guy in this day of age still knew how to be a gentleman. We made our way to the front door only to find the party in full swing and clearly drunk teens swaggering out all exits except the garage where a boy that matched Percy's description was leaning against wearing pool noodles and holding one threateningly at anyone who came near. Percy knocked on the door but when no one heard it over the loud music he decided just to invite himself in. He slunk his arm around my waist, which I was fairly shocked by, and we walked right in.
By the time we had made it to the kitchen two people had already managed to spill their drinks on Percy while I just laughed at his face, he just looked so done. When we were in the kitchen Percy poured himself some sort of beverage whereas I just grabbed a bottle of water that happened to be on the bench top. We sat in the kitchen for a while laughing and talking about random subjects until he was starting to get tipsy and asked if I wanted to dance. I said yes and we made our ways to the living room. Halfway through the song we were dancing to I noticed Percy started getting a gloomy look on his face and was completely distracted by what was behind me. I turned around and looked at a beautiful blonde girl dancing with another guy. They looked like they were having a blast as he spun her around and around, pulling her close to his chest and swaying to the beat. I looked back at Percy and his eyes were still trained on the girl and he had stopped dancing.
I had seen this look before, heartbreak. It was beginning to clear up he wanted someone to help him get through the pain, a distraction. That's all I was, all I ever was. I had worn the same look Percy had many years ago but for all different reasons. I had just been another boys toy for a month or two so he could get the girls to stop pestering him so he and his real girlfriend from another school could hang out, little did he know I liked him as well, but nevertheless I was just a loophole. Suddenly I didn't feel like being here anymore, in fact I felt quite sick. "Hey Percy, I need some fresh I'm gonna go outside real quick," I muttered patting him on the shoulder awkwardly, he just nodded continuing to stare as the mysterious blonde danced. As I walked away I felt a hot wet tear roll down my cheek. Luckily enough my house was within walking distance, a long walk but still in walking distance, so I stood outside and collected myself before walking home.
Percy's POV
I had definitely sobered up after watching Annabeth and Ethan for a while when I noticed Rachel had been outside for at least twenty minutes now so I went outside looking for her. I searched the whole place and still couldn't find her so I tried calling her phone. "Hello, Rachel speaking," I heard her soft voice drift through the phone and I calmed down knowing she was okay. "Hey, Rachel it's Percy ummm where are you I searched the whole house and I cant seem to find you."
"Percy, I went home. I saw you looking at that girl, the blonde one and I know you like her so please for the sake of the rest of my heart leave me out of this. I have suffered the same fate once and I refuse to suffer it again. Goodbye Percy." With that she hung up the phone her cold words floating around in my head.
