Annabeth had little sleep that night.

Not amount of make up would cover her baggy eyes or her red eyes. This would be a bad day, she just felt it. While she waited for the last to get up in bed, she decided to do some thinking.

She started with her life. She had a great set of parents, a great set of siblings and a life everyone at school had been envying for years. However, she didn't have any real friends that she could talk to and her only real friend just had been kidnapped. Yeah, Annabeth had a huge crush on her step-sister's finacé, but for their sake, she kept it to herself. They are happy...

Now, she didn't have anyone to talk to and all her friends were expecting the next big party. Though the life of partying was a good one, Annabeth realized that no one seemed to know her, or Jason, very well. She doubted Drew knew Jason the way she knew him. Heck, that hunk of his body gaurd, Percy, knew his intentions better than him!

Annabeth blushed when thinking of Percy. He actually made her mad, somehow, especially since he hadn't spoke a direct word to her, unless it was to scold her. Annabeth acknowledged that she wasn't the easiest person to deal with, but it was kind of sad, which made her wonder what had happened to him. Not like she could fix it, but she was actually curious about it.

A soft knock on her door broke her thoughts and she went to open. Jason was there, red-eyed just like her.

"You too couldn't sleep a wink?" She nodded at her brother, silently "Percy and Piper want to talk to us in the kitchen..." Annabeth simply nodded again and put on some clothes, a pair of jeans and a shirt, not even caring if it was the latest fashion. Her hair was a mess, but with a bit of brushing it could work out. Jason was like her, for the first time, not caring about his looks.

"Here, drink this" Piper offered them a drink, as soon as they reached the kitchen's counter. Jason drank wordlessly, Annabeth tentatively behind him "Look, we have to talk-"

"We get it!" Jason jumped, surprising everyone "You warned us! You were doing your job! Avoid the 'I told you so' talk and let's go to school!" Annabeth had never seen him react like this. She could see the hurt in Piper's eyes, but no one said anything, until Percy took control.

"Piper, could you please go get our gear ready?" Annabeth was surprised by the sweet tone Percy was using. Her tiny hopes that he could be single came crushing down there. Piper kept her stare linger Jason a little longer before leaving the room. Percy turned to Jason and Annabeth was thinking to find a place to hide "Jason, why don't you shut up and sit down!" Jason sat down because of the shock "What Piper and I were about to tell you about some things concerning Luke-"

"He's alive, right?" Annabeth couldn't help to blurt out. Percy turned to her, serious but not angry.

"We believe he is, but it's very likely that whoever kidnapped him might brainwash him and lure him out as a trap for you" Annabeth stared at Percy. It was too big of statement to joke about it "So, we were going to say that we should look out for him, but you let us know when he communicates with you..."

"You think he'll do?" Annabeth asked, softly. Jason had been shocked into silent and Annabeth was kind of glad. Percy sighed and nodded "Why...?"

"Wish I know, but I don't... Now, if anyone asks, Luke had an accident and it's in the hospital..." Annabeth was grateful for the cover story, in case someone asked them "And you, Mr. I-think-I-can-sneak-out, will apologize to Piper, as she was doing her job!" Percy emphasized, angry "That girl is my sister and I'll be damned if I don't protect her from arrogant bastards like yourself who think life deserves to give you the best even when it's not a true statement..."

Annabeth heard the hatred and the anger in Percy's last words as he departures from the kitchen. Jason was still in shock, mainly because no one had ever talked to him like that. It was rare that their parents get angry at them, as they never were around enough to be angry, and the employees couldn't scold them.

"He's right, you know..." Annabeth recognized, shocking Jason even more "I mean, what have we done to get what we have? We sneak out to party and we lie to our parents!"

"I can't believe I'm hearing that from you, Annabeth..." Jason mumbled back. Annabeth pursed her lips and crossed her arms, frowning.

"Why? Because it will ruin your reputation with Drew? Because everyone in the football team will love you more?" Piper wasn't the only one who knew how to jab people in the right place "I've never realized it before, Jason, but I want to stop. College and University are around the corner and, for me, want to get into a good ivy-league school-"

"You already have a free-pass into Harvard and Yale, what more you want?" Jason wondered, incredulously. Annabeth stared at him dead in the eye, as if he had reach the crux of an important matter.

"Someone who cares about me, someone who is there for me, unlike you, who rushes to the first girl who offers to open her legs for you!" she accused him, making Jason frown.

"Shes my girlfriend! Of course you wouldn't understand, since no one had asked you to do so-"

PAFF!

For the first time in their life, The Twins were actually fighting. But any fighting ended when Annabeth slapped her brother right in his face. Both Piper and Percy heard the noise, and arrived just in time to see Jason's hand on his cheek and Annabeth crying.

Annabeth had predicted it. This was going to be a bad day.

Hello and good afternoon to you all!

I realize is not Sunday, but I haven't had the time to post yesterday. Also, I apologize for not posting the previous weekends and, even though I have no excuse for that, I have an excuse for posting today.

You see, next weekend I'll be leaving on holidays and I won't be posting for two weekends, almost three. So, I decided to post now the chapters I owe you and the ones I will, since practically is the only moment free I have while getting ready!
