The Things We Live For: Chapter 8: The Worst Disease Man Could Have
By- TrueLoveIsWhatINeed-Percabeth
Annabeth was laying down on the bed remembering that dreadful day 2 months ago...the day she was supposed to die, the day were everyone would cry for her...but no she had to come back...it felt like it had just happened yesterday she remembered it so clearly...
Annabeth was sitting down on her bed reading one of the many books she owned, when all of a sudden there was a knock on the door, she stood up and walked towards the door. Surprisingly there was no one in the cabin which made her a little more alarmed, she opened the door slowly careful not to fall into a prank but instead she was greeted by a hooded figure. Annabeth quickly reached out to close the door but it was to late...the hooded figure picked her up and put her in a sack, Annabeth yelled, screamed and kicked but it was useless no matter how hard she tried she knew she would get nowhere. After what seemed like hours Annabeth fell unconscious, she woke up hours, maybe days, later and all she could see was white, all her clothing was white and the whole room, not surprising her at all, was white all Annabeth remembered thinking was am I dead? But a white light came to her and told her..."Annabeth, go back! Find your way back, you're not needed here...at least not now" Annabeth didn't know where to go, or how to go back but she managed to find the door and she woke up out in the woods her face felt numb and her skin stung, she had scratches all over her but thankfully she had her clothes on! She walked and walked until she saw camp and before she knew it...she lost consciousness.
That was all Annabeth could remember, all she knew was that she was supposed to be dead and for some strange reason she came back...she had decided a long time ago not to tell anyone, when someone finally found her and asked her questions she said she had accidentally fallen out of a tree.
*knock knock*
Annabeth quickly wiped away the tears that had come out of her eyes and said "Come in!"
"Annabeth! There you are" Percy said walking towards her Annabeth let a tear fall down her face
"Hey...what's wrong?" Percy asked wiping away a tear
"Nothing...nothing's wrong" Annabeth said turning around so he couldn't see her tears
"Annabeth, I have known you for a very long time now...you can tell me what's wrong!" Percy said feeling quite hurt that she wouldn't tell him
"Fine...Percy...I was...supposed..." Annabeth sighed "I was supposed to...to...die..." a tear slipped down her face, Percy's face paled
"You're kidding, right?" he asked a little scared
"No…I'm not...all I know is that I'm supposed to be dead…" she said tears falling down her face, Percy gave her a hug
"It's ok…Annabeth I think it's time I told you something that I've been keeping a secret from everyone…" he said tears threatening to fall from his face
"Percy you know you can tell me anything!" Annabeth said reassuringly
"I know..." he sighed "Annabeth…last year, when we still weren't talking, I got terribly sick…I had fevers and headaches…my mother decided to take me to the doctor I took a-a…a blood test and they told me I had…Leukemia" tears finally fell down his face "the doctor told me to keep on living my life, I don't know how much time I have to live…but every day I wake up and I thank the gods that I'm still alive…I'm so glad you're my partner because if you weren't I wouldn't be able to say this….Annabeth I'm so sorry"
Tears fell down her face and soon enough Annabeth was sobbing "No…no...NO!" she cried "You're going to leave me too? You're just like him!" she said as she ran out of the room
"I'm so sorry…" Percy whispered as he fell on the bed
The next day
Annabeth sat down by a corner in the guest room crying "Mom? Why him? Why Percy? Why my best friend? The father of this child? WHY? WHY HIM!" Annabeth thought
"I' am so sorry baby…you probably won't have a father….you know why? Because the worst disease one could have is in your father's body! Killing him this instinct!" she said talking to the bump on her stomach.
*knock knock*
"Annabeth?" Percy said opening the door
"What do you want?" she said angrily, he walked over to where she was and sat down next to her.
"Annabeth, you have to forget about it…and live on with your life, that's what I'm trying to do"
"How can I forget about it?" she said tears falling down from her face again
"How about we start over? We just met a couple days ago and none of this has happened" he said smiling
Annabeth smiled for the first time in what seemed days but had just been 1.
"So Annabeth would you like to come to my parents' Christmas ball tomorrow night?" Percy asked sort of nervous.
"I would love to"
After dinner Annabeth made her way to Love Lane Ave. she entered the room and turned the radio on:
Hands are Silent voice is Numb, Try to scream out my Lungs, But it makes this Harder, And the tears stream down my Face, If we could only have this life for one more day….
*knock knock*
Tears started to fall from her face, she decided whoever was behind that door probably didn't want to see her crying or sad so she quickly wiped them away and stood up to open the door.
"Annabeth!" a smiling Piper said quickly raping her in a hug, Annabeth surprised stumbled back a bit.
"Hey..." Annabeth said forcing a fake smile
"I just went to get a checkup from Aphrodite and guess what I'm having!" a very happy Piper said sitting down on Annabeth's bed
"Let me guess…a girl?" a smiling Annabeth said sitting down next to her
"How'd you know?"
"I figured you always liked to help out the little ones in your cabin"
Piper blushed "Ok enough about me…I heard you crying in here before I knocked, what's wrong?"
"You've been getting your memory back I see!" Annabeth said trying to change the subject
"Annabeth!" Piper said getting more serious "I know your trying to change the subject, but you already know it doesn't work on me…now tell me what's wrong!"
"I-I-I…I" tears fell down from Annabeth's face as she spoke "Percy has leukemia he has been having it for a year now…and he doesn't know how long he'll have to live!"
Piper gasped "Oh Annabeth….I'm so sorry!"
Annabeth stood up "I need fresh air…" and with that she was out the door running as fast as she could…all she wanted to do was get away from the world for a while, she was sick and tired of people abandoning her… just like her dad…
"Annabeth get inside quick!" Annabeth's step-mom told her
"What's going on?" A 15 year old Annabeth said
"There was a tornado alert…"
Annabeth alerted by the news ran inside the house as quickly as possible completely unaware that she had left the locket her mother had given her that summer on the grass.
"Daddy!" Annabeth said running to her dad when the tornado was said to arrive, she was deathly afraid of tornadoes. She quickly reached for her locket which she usually had around her neck…but this time it wasn't there
"My locket!" she said suddenly remembering where she had left it, and running to the front door.
"Annabeth come back it's not safe!" her dad said running after her; Annabeth quickly grabbed her locket and hugged it close to her…but being a complete idiot she forgot about the tornado heading her way…
"Annabeth look out!" her dad yelled as he ran to her
"What?" she said turning around and realizing a huge tornado was coming her way, before she knew it her dad jumped in front of her and got caught in the arms of the tornado
"DAD!" Annabeth screamed as he flew away deep in the tornado
Later on that week they were informed that her dad's body was found 2 miles away…dead
