ER! ER! ER! ER! ER-!
I moaned and turned off my alarm clock. 6:15 am. Ugh. I am not a morning person. Like at all. I knew I had to get up. I had work today. I rolled out of bed and walked to the bathroom to take a shower. 20 minutes later, I got out of the bathroom with a white shirt with a blue necktie tucked in my black suit pants with a black belt.
I walked into the kitchen and poured myself some coffee and made myself oatmeal. As I ate, I was checking my emails on my iPhone 5s. Then I get a text. I clicked the home button and then opened up my texts. The text was from Rachel.
Good morning!

I checked the time. 6:55 am. OH SHOOT! Gah! Imma be late! I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth, and I noticed I hadn't brushed my hair either. So I combed my messy black hair and brushed my teeth. I ran to the door put my coat on along with my black dress shoes. I grabbed my briefcase and headed out the door.
I was walking down the sidewalk when I heard crying. Like a kid was crying. I turned the corner to see who was crying and I see a small girl with curly long black hair, maybe about 9 or 10 years old, sitting on a bench with her hands covering her face. She was crying. I walked up to her and said, "Hey? Little girl? Are you ok?"
"I'm fine." She replies. She looks up at me and I notice her eyes are very green, kind of like mine.
"Are you sure? What's your name and how old are you?" I asked her and sat down next to her. She was quiet for a moment then she answered, "Uh, Bella. My name's Bella. And I'm 9." Nine! What a 9 year old doing out and about in NY by their self? I raised my eyebrows because I was surprised of how young she was.
"9! So, Bella, what are you doing here alone so young?" I asked her.
"It's a long story. You see, before I was born, my father kind of um broke up and ran away from my mom. And my dad never came back. I don't even think he knows I exist. Anyways, I've been looking for him for 3 years."
Three years! So she's been looking for her dad since she was 6. 6! I thought.
She continued, "so I finally found him, like a month ago, and yesterday I ran away from home to get to him. I just got off the phone with my mom, we kind of fought." Bella told me. But, she ran away? THIS IS NEW YORK! A 9 year old girl running away into the streets one of the most crowded cities to find one person!? I was silent for a moment. Then I decided to help her out.
"Hm. Tell me his name and I'll help you look for him." I offer her. I mean, I could call in sick today.
"Percy Jackson." She answers.
What. Wait, wait, wait. Did she say Percy Jackson!? I stare blankly at her and rub my eyes. "Do you know him?" She asked me.
"No, um well, I think you may have found him." I smiled at her.
"Where?" She looked around. I let out a short laugh and pointed to myself. She looked at me looking confused and I said, "I am Percy Jackson."
"What?" She said with a quiet voice.
"My name is Percy Jackson. I broke up with an Annabeth Chase about 10 years ago. I ran away because I was just so piss-annoyed and mad at Annabeth's mother, who hated my guts. This went on for about 3 years. I got sick and tired of it, so it was either run away or kill myself. I chose to run away because I knew if I died she would die. I can't really let that happen. But, I haven't seen her since I left. Now I live alone not far from here, just in an apartment a couple blocks from here." I told her.
"A-a-nna, Annabeth Chase? That's my mother." Bella's beautiful green eyes looked into my green eyes. My heart was pounding by now. Me-a father. Annabeth didn't even tell me. Now she's 9! I never knew. I feel bad. This is all my fault. I guess I have a cute nine year old daughter named Bella. I can see how we are related. We do look like father and daughter. Green with a tint of grey eyes, black hair. She also looks like Annabeth; with curly hair and a mix of grey in her eyes. She is a little tall for 9. When I thought she was 9 or 10, I was thinking more like 10.
I couldn't believe it. Suddenly Bella just burst into tears and put her arms around my neck. Tightly. I hugged her back. I mean, meeting your father for the first time after 9 years, man. I got teary-eyed also. I let go and had to call off a day at work.
"Hey, this is Percy. Sorry but I won't be able to make it in today…..uh huh….yeah. Ok, I'm sick with the uh, fever. About *cough* 102.8. Ok *cough* bye. *makes vomit noise*" I hung up. I looked at Bella, who was just laughing a lot. I smiled. Then I texted Rachel to tell her I couldn't come for lunch…she was upset. Her problem I just found out I had a 9 year old daughter.
"Once I get back to my mom, now that you're with me, you guys can get together again! Right?" She said with hope.
"About that….your mom and I can't get back together." I tell her. Her smile disappears. "Why?" She asked me.
"Because, I already have a girlfriend."
Can you guess who the GF is? Kinda easy. I'm sorry. I'm evil! Hahahha. Don't worry don't worry guys. Everything will be ok. Well, hoped you liked chapter 9! I know it was long, but first Percy POV! There will be more. What's your favorite OTP? Review! Let's bring on Chapter 10! Tomorrow because it's almost 1 o'clock LOL! Well goodnight my readers! ~Percabeth3luvbugs
