HI READERS, Enjoy the chapter, this was really hard to write because my uncle died of cancer a few years ago. I miss him dearly but I know he's happy doing what he loves! Enjoy!

Percy knew he did pretty well, so he knew he shouldn't have been worrying, so why was he tense? He heard that his brother Tyson wasn't doing so well and he was going to get the diagnosis tonight. Percy was too busy thinking of his brother, he only heard Snippets of the elimination. A few minutes after the elimination Annabeth came up to him.

" Is everything okay? You seem distant."

" My half-brother is not doing so well, and I'm supposed to get a call with the diagnosis tonight."

"Would you like me to wait up with you until you get the call"? Annabeth asked.

" That would be nice. I could use some emotional support." They then went to Percy's hotel room and sat on his bed together waiting in silence until.

"RRRRRIINNNG!

"Hello" Percy answered.

"Hi, is this Perseus Jackson?"

"Yes, this is he"

"Hi, Perseus, this is Dr. Titan. I'm here at Lakeview hospital in Oakland. I'm calling about your brother Tyson's diagnosis. He has cancer as we suspected. We want you to come down to Lakeview ASAP so we can talk about treatment options. "

"Yes Ma'am, I will be there when I can." He hung up the phone.

"Is your brother okay?" Asked Annabeth.

"No Annabeth, Tyson has Cancer" he sobbed.
