Chapter 9
Thalia felt her body hit the hard surface of the floor before the actual pain came. But whan it did, boy was it bad. She cried out in agony and clutched her cheek.
"Stop!" she yelled.
"You were supposed to pick up my medicine! Why didn't you do it?" Her mother yelled drunkenly in her face.
"Because it's alcohol, not medicine. And I'm under twenty one, it's illegal to buy it," Thalia told her softly, trying to calm her down.
"It's my medicine from you! You stupid girl!" she retorted.
It didn't work.
Mrs. Grace kicked Thalia in the side and she fell back down on the floor even harder than before. She screamed out in pain once again, clutching her now broken rib cage.
Her mother pulled her head up to her face by her hair and slapped her once again. And the impact was so hard, her head actually bounced off of the floor when it hit.
"You stupid daughter!" Mrs. Grace slurred, "You can't do anything right!"
"No! Mom stop!" Thalia tried to get up, but she couldn't move. Her side started to bleed and she began sobbing.
"Shut up! This time you're really going to pay."
Thalia tried desperately to move, but her body was in shock. Mrs. Grace slapped her once again, and then took the closest beer bottle and chugged down the rest of its contents. Then she raised it over her head, Preparing to strike.
"No… don't"
"This is what happens to bad daughters who don't do what their parents tell them to do!"
And the bottle came crashing down on her.
Chards of glass embedded the skin of her arms, legs, face. And all uncovered areas of flesh as bottle after bottle came crashing down upon her.
She aimed once for Thalia's skull, and hit it point blank. The impact knocked Thalia completely unconscious, and bleeding to death.
Mrs. Grace didn't care. She grabbed her purse and car keys and stumbled down the driveway, forgetting in her drunken state to lock the front door. And she grove away to the closest bar, completely intoxicated.
Thalia's eyes opened for a few seconds, only to see a pile of blood next to her head. And then, she was out.
Whan Percy, Nico, and Bianca arrived at the hospital late that night, the first thing they saw was a crying Annabeth.
"Annabeth!" Percy shouted. He ran over to her and wrapped his arms around her. She sobbed into his shirt, making a large water stain on his shoulder. Percy didn't care.
He petted her head, trying to calm her down. "Shhh… it's okay Wise Girl. Thalia's gonna be okay. I know she will."
Annabeth continued to sob but nodded. She pulled away and wiped her tears with her sleeve. Percy got a few with his thumb.
Nico sat opposite of them and Bianca sat on Annabeth's right, patting her back sympathetically.
"I-I could have stopped it. I heard the yelling… I thought it was done… I never thought… Oh Thalia please forgive me!" Annabeth held on to Percy even tighter. Percy sushed Annabeth some more and continued to soothe her, beginning to feel tired himself.
Nico wore a stone face. He stared down at his converse, his mind whirling. He showed no emotion on the outside.
But the inside? Now that is a entirely different story.
Inside, he was sobbing too. His best friend in the entire world was fatally hurt, possibly dead, he didn't know. And she just so happened to be the first girl he had fallen for.
"Almost everyone I love has left me…" he whispered to himself.
"Dad left. Mom died. Now Thalia is going to too. All I have is Bianca. I'm basically going to be all alone. Again."
Nico sighed. He glanced up to see that Annabeth had fallen asleep in Percy's lap (he was asleep too) and Bianca had fallen asleep in the chair. Nico was the only one awake. Must have lost myself in my thoughts…
And her was the first to hear the news.
"Is anyone here for Thalia Grace?" asked a woman in a nurse's outfit. Nico decided she was one.
"I am. Well, we, but I won't wake them. How Is she? Oh Please tell me she is okay!"
The nurse looked at him skeptically. "Boyfriend?" she wondered.
Nico slightly blushed. "I wish, Can I just hear about her please? I need to know she is going to be okay."
The nurse smiled. "She is going to live. It's quite a miracle, actually. She lost a record amount of blood and her heart beat began to fail. But we saved her. You can visit her if you like. She is awake."
Nico sighed happily. He felt like hugging the nurse and all of the people who saved her life. But he settled with a, "Thank you."
Nico walked into Thalia's room and saw her sitting up in the bed. IV's were in her arms everywhere and she was covered in bandages. Her head was wrapped also where the bottle had hit. Her torso was too, because of the four broken ribs; wrapped in gauze.
"Thalia…"
"Hi Nic. Um… surprise?"
Ohhh... What's Nico gonna say? How are the other's gonna react? Why do i keep saying this like im a soap opera announcer? :P Well, please review kindly and I'll se you all soon! Again so so so so sorry, it's short.
-Love
