Chapter 8 Saying Goodbye
"Percy" Someone was slapping me in my face. "Percy, buddy wake up, you have to wake up before my dad gets here, and but you in the hospital and then there are gonna be some explaining to do and we don't want that." The someone that had just been slapping me in my face was now pulling me out of the car and dragging me to a blue jeep.
"Come on…" Stiles said as he opened in to the back of the car and said "theres a pillow and a blankent in there so just keep tight and sleep the healing of okay?"
Who the hell have a Blanked and a pillow in tha car at all times? Apart from the blanked and pillod there were a sports bad, a baseball bat and a stolen box with medical stuff in. Did he plan a killing, a kipnapping or was it just some of the stuff you need when you are a human running with wolfs.
"Yeah"
"Good, now I have to go." he said after I had crawled in to the back of the Jeep and he slamed the door behinde me. I took the blanket and was out again as soon as my head hit the pillow.
I were back in the little cabin in Montauk lying in the bed waking to golden hair in the sun, long and clearly, to the most beautiful storm grey eyes that had ever existed, and to smiles and stolen kisses. "Why are you not here?"
"But I am here"
"No, you're not" she said cuddling closer to his chest "Why are you not dead? Why can't you be dead?" She took a deep breath. "I wish you were dead"
"I wish I was dead, too." I said kissing her head.
"Yeah, then we could stay like this forever." We laid there a little longer enjoying the sunrise over the ocean in falling in through the big window.
"I'm not stupid, you know that."
"If you were you would be the Seaweed Brain and I Would be the Wise Girl, that would be funny wouldn't it, me being a girl?"
"That's right, so what have you done this time Seaweed Brain?" She looked up at me looked into eyes like looking for the answer. "Tell me"
"Only if you promise me to be reborn, without me" I told her
"I can't do that, I promised you to wait for you." She said slowly stroking her hand over my chest.
"Yes, but you have to promise this instead. Because there is nothing for you to wait for." I took my eyes of her and looked up in the ceiling. "I can't die. After the fight with the monsters when you tried to rescue you brothers, you died, and I couldn't live without you, so I traded my death for your life. I'm immortal"
Annabeth took a deep breath
"When were you planning to tell me?"
"To be honest I didn't plan to yet, I didn't think I could tell you how much I fucked up until Luke threaten to push you in the Lethe and make you go to rebirth."
"I love you Percy, but don't think I'm not mad at you. I'm gonna go to rebirth. Even if won't help anything on what you have done to us, maybe it will help you get over me and start on fresh." She pulled awake and raised from the bed. She walked to the door in the white summer dress, she looked back before going through the door whispering a choked goodbye. The door had closed behind her before I even hade the chance to get of the bed. When I got to the door and opened it, so hard it nearly were ribbed of the wall. Instead of meeting storm gray eyes I was mead with honey hazeled eyes.
I was awake, and praying to the gods that this was just a dream. Hoping this wasn't goodbye for good. But my guts was telling me something differendt.
"You look like shit, come on let's get you home." He gently manhandled me into the front seat.
"Stiles can I borrow your phone? I need to let my mother know that I can't come and drive her home tomorrow."
"That's totally okay dude, here." He though the phone to me, it was a smart phone. The kind of phone I always wanted, in a nice blue color. I didn't have a phone, because well yeah well, being a demigod the monsters could track you with it, so it was one of those things that made it being a demigod not fun. I pasted in my mother's phone number, though it took to more than try. It only took two rings before she was on the line.
"Sally Jackson."
"Hi mom, I'm calling from a friends phone to let you know that I can't come and get you tomorrow morning, someone crashed into your car and I got my head banged up pretty bad so Stiles one of the guyes from class is giving me a ride home."
"That good sweetheart, I see you when I see you." It was my mother's way of saying that even if we wouldn't se each other in month she tried not to be too worried and that we would see each other again.
"I told Annabeth" I said choking up. A tear escaped my eye. I whised my mom was here with me to hold me in her arms, until I cried myself to sleep.
"She told me goodbye, I think she's gone forever."
And it was when it hit me I would never see her again, in the rest of eternity because she no longer existed. Annabeth wasn't just dead any longer she simply didn't exist anymore. I hung up on mom, and tried to hold back the tears back so I could emotional die all over again.
I focused on the car as we drove home, the mechanic movements of the engine, the time passed in a blur, before we were before the house. Stiles killed the engine before turning to me, he laid a comforting hand on my shoulder and said
"I hope she's gonna take you back, man. It's obvious you love her, I hope she knows that, before living you for good."
I opened the door to live but it was like something kept me here, like I wanted to tell him, to share my pain.
I looked at him a minute debating, before looking away and letting it out.
"She´s dead"
"Sorry … I didn't mean to ehhm… "
"It's okay"
"Do you want me to come in, so you wouldn't be alone?"
"No it's fine I properly just gonna go in there and sleep the broken heart away."
"You sure?"
"Yeah"
"Okay sure see you in school tomorrow." I walked out of the car, my head still a little fussy. When I finely got my teeth bushed and crawled into my pajamas pans. And got into my room, I went to my night stand and pulled a bottle of nectar up took a sip before putting it back again. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I was falling asleep fast. In the rhythm of my hysterical crying.
I felt a hand ghosting over my hair opening half an eye seeing Luke sitting on the side of the bed, comforting me. Tears in his eyes, petting my hair.
"It's gonna be okay, I be here to look after you." He whispered
That was really disturbing, seeing the one person who tried to kill me more than ones sitting on my bed with his small devil horns and tailed petting my hair, coming me to sleep.
I'm debating what parring I might do in the storry. I can't decied if I want StilesxPercy wich was my intention or I should go with PercyxDerek, AllisonxPercy (which was an ideer of one of the followeres that came up with). But it's surden that there will be some Sterek and LukexPercy moment though I dont know how much, What do you guys think?
