Hey, guys, sorry for not updating I have been struggling with a writer's enemy, writer's block. I am just having difficulty keeping up with all my fanfiction's. More so now since college has started. So please expect slow updates until further notice. I have been doing five hours of homework every night and I just don't have free time.
Percy's POV:
After a long and painful conversation about being safe with Annabeth from Reyna since I was gone the whole night. We finally changed the subject to cooking.
"I'm telling you right now I am a great cook."
"No offense but you burn everything you make and that says something since I can only make my mom's blue cookies."
Reyna placed her hand on her chest, "how could you say that? You eat everything I make!"
I rolled my eyes, "yeah because I'd starve if I didn't. Anyways we are done with this conversation. I have to go pick up Soph."
She pointed her finger at my chest, "now remember what I said. We don't need a miniature Percy walking around causing trouble or she gets pregnant and something happens to you overseas.
I stood, "Reyna I get it now please leave my sex life alone." I retired to my room to change out of my Pyjamas. I swiped my keys off the hook and drove to Sophie's friend Alice's house. My truck hummed as I parked in front of the Tate residence. My mom knew Nora Tate from when she worked at the old candy store. We would go to their house when Gabe was playing cards with his fellow alcoholics. Which was years ago and they had been friends ever since.
I knocked on the door and Nora with her greying hair opened the door with a bright smile on her face, "Percy! It's been so long! Sophie told me you came back home. How has everything been, are you decompressing okay?" She waved her hand "oh what am I doing? Come in!"
"Thank you, Mrs. Tate. I'm doing fine." I followed her into the den and sat across from her.
"No need with the Mrs. you can call me Nora. So tell me, who is the Annabeth I keep hearing from Soph?" Her eyes shone with such happiness that I couldn't even be upset at my annoying little sister.
"Uh, Annabeth is my girlfriend I guess." I scratched the back of my neck out of habit.
"Oh, I hope she's a keeper."
I smiled warmly "Me too. How is Nick doing?"
She laughed "working hard as always! I swear this man never gives himself a break. I guess you should get going let me go get Sophie for you." I nodded in thanks and watched her go down the hallway.
"Percy!" Sophie ran up and hugged me her. her face brightened when she pulled away. "Can we go get ice cream on the way home?"
I ruffled her hair "of course, how is that even a question." I looked over at Alice "say thank you to Alice."
Sophie looked over at her "bye, Alice, I will see you at school."
"Bye Sophie! Thank you for coming over."
I climbed into my truck and turned the keys in the ignition. "So which ice cream place do you want to go to?"
She tapped her chin "hmm let me think. Maggie Moo's, that's where I want to get my ice cream."
I smiled turning towards her "Let me guess, you want to get the cotton candy flavor?"
she smiled "always." I turned into the parking lot and parked in front of the ice cream shop. As we walked up she took my hand and start to skip. "come on Percy you need to relax a little. Skip with me."
I rolled my eyes, "alright little miss bossy."
Time Skip
It's been three weeks since I came home and in four months I have to go back. Truthfully, I don't want to go back. Everything has been so good with my family and Annabeth. I just don't want to disrupt that. Looking over at Sophie who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car. Mom is currently power writing her book to meet the deadline so I was stuck with school duty.
"Hey Percy, can I ask you something?"
"Sure, what is it?"
She looked ou the window with a small blush creeping up her cheeks, "um, I don't know how to tell mom and dad but I don't know if I like Tyler anymore. I kind of like this boy named Daniel."
'um, well... Um. I-' I stumbled over my words. I knew this was coming but I haven't mentally prepared my speech on this whole dating thing, especially when she already went out with someone.. Taking a deep breath, "well you see. It depends on the guy so uh... What makes you think he likes you?"
"He aways tries to make me laugh and well he asked me if I wanted to go see a movie."
I pulled the truck over so I could look at her in the face, "he asked you on a date!?"
Her eyes widened "oh my gosh he asked me on a date!" Her face brightened and it made me smile but I slammed my head on the steering wheel. This can't be happening.
"I can't believe this is happening! I'm so nervous and it's on Friday! Oh no, I have to tell Tyler!"
My head shot up and I pinched my nose. "I cant' believe this is happening," I said in a deleted tone. My little sister was growing up. I can't help but feel like I'm getting old.
"Percy you are going to make me late if you don't start driving again."
I looked up and sighed as I drove to the school. When I pulled in the parking lot Sophie slung her bag over her shoulder. She smiled up at me, "bye, Percy. I will see you after school!"
I waved and waited to drive away until she was safely inside the school. You never know these days. You can never be too safe. When I pulled away I decided to call Mom and tell her everything that I heard today. She sighed, "I already have a feeling she is going to take after your dating habits."
"What no she's only twelve. She can't have my dating habits! Plus I wasn't that bad!"
"Oh honey."
"She can't go on the date yet, I need to meet this kid and threaten him to make sure he doesn't try anything."
She laughed, "oh Percy, everything will be fine. There is no need to scare this kid. Just relax Sophie is only twelve she's not irresponsible and mature for her age. I have to go so I will see you tonight for dinner. Oh, and invite Annabeth."
"Alright love you, mom."
'I love you too Percy." She hung up and I decided to go sit in my apartment and take a nap. Oh gosh, things are changing way too quickly for my liking. What happened to the little girl who was afraid of the monster under her bed? The monster that her big brother used to hunt down every night to keep her safe.
Alright finally finished! Please review I would love to know what you think. Notice: Please expect slow updates I am currently a colleg student and literally have no life at the moment.
Lot's of Love,
