Annabeth

I walk into the front office of the school with Charlie in my arms. Both of us were still crying and I couldn't blame either of us. Charlie was obviously traumatized and I have to admit so am I. I was just trying to stay strong. There wasn't anyone at the desk but I saw a light on in the back.

"Hello!" I yelled. At that point I was in hysterics. I really needed Percy or Luke or just anyone I knew and loved. I wanted my dad or one of my step brothers. I wanted my mom at that point I even wanted my step mom.

A lady in her mid-forties came out of the back. She was wearing a pant suit and her hair was in a bun. She had very hard features to her and didn't look like a very nice women.

"Can I help you?" She asked in annoyance. Obviously she didn't notice the state Charlie and I were in.

"Percy Jackson." Was all I could get out before I let out a sob. I rubbed Charlie's back when she copied me a moment later.

"What happen ma'am." The lady asked and I assumed she was the principal.

"Just, just- Please!"

The lady went to a phone and dialed three numbers.

"Percy there are some people here to see you. I would hope you get here fast." She said before hanging up.

"Ma'am come and sit down, I think you are going into shock." I did what I was asked and sat down in the chair she was offering me.

Percy

I was having a beyond confusing day. First I got a call from Charlie's school that said she refused to leave with her mom because Annabeth hadn't come to pick Luke up from school so I had to rush over there with proof I was his father and take him out of school. Then I went back to my school to get the rest of my work done while Luke drew. Well he started out drawing but it ended up with me and him playing a modified game of Pictionary where we guessed what each other was drawing. I had called Annabeth several times with no answer which got me to worry because she didn't even know where Luke was. Luke had also told me Annabeth told him she would pick him up. I think he was just as confused as I was.

So when we got that call we looked at each other and both thought it was Annabeth.

And it was.

But I wasn't ready for what she told me.

I walked to the front office with Luke's hand in mine. My heart was beating in my chest as we approached. I couldn't wait for the explanation Annabeth gave me for not giving me any heads up for me today. Annabeth actually messed up!

I walked inside and immediately regreted my thoughts. Annabeth was holding a small crying figure while she was sobbing as well.

My mind immediately thought something was wrong with Rachel that maybe she died or got sick.

"Charlie!" Luke exclaimed and ran over and pulled her off Annabeth's lap and locked her in a tight hug.

Annabeth stood when she saw me. She ran and locked me in a hugged and sobbed in my shoulder while I tried to calm her.

"Shhh, Annabeth calm down."

I held her for a few more moments until I had to asked the real question.

"What happened?"

She let out a cry and I rubbed her back and kissed her head. In front of me I could see my boss, Principal Musko staring at me with a death glare.

She was angry.

"Annie." I said in a held together yet a desperate voice.

"I was raped." Was all she said in barely a whisper.

I didn't ask anymore questions, I would let her tell me when she was ready. I didn't ask her how she ended up with Charlie or why she came to me I just shut my eyes and tightened my grip on her not intending to let go.

I took Annabeth back to my place and set up a place in Charlie's room for him to sleep then I sent him in there with Charlie while I called the police.

"911 what's the emergency?" The female operator spoke.

"My girlfriend just came to me and told me she was raped."

"When did this situation occur?" The lady asked.

"Today." I replied. "She came to me right after."

"What's the name of the victim?"

"Annabeth Chase."

I glanced at Annabeth who was in a blanket on my couch. She hadn't spoken since she told me what had happened to her and I could not blame her. I walked over and kissed her on the head while I listen to what the person was telling me.

"We have already been notified by Rachel Dare of this situation and we have people at the crime scene. We were told by Ms. Dare she told Ms. Chase to leave so we have no victim. The suspect has been arrested. Please tell me your address so I can send investigators your way."

I told her my address and hung up. I went and sat with Annabeth. She flinched when I laid down next to her which made me feel awful. She saw the look on my face and put a hand on my cheek.

"Please talk to me." I said with a small smile.

"I love you too." Was all she said before snuggling into me.

I hadn't realized we had fallen asleep until we were being shaken awake.

"Daddy!"

"Mommy!"

They were the two little voices I never got sick of hearing. I was awake before Annabeth. I looked at the clock, we had only been asleep for fifteen minutes. After looking at the clock I glanced in front of me and saw a man and a woman both dressed in pant suits. The girls was a little more feminine I should add.

I turned and looked at my kids.

"What did I tell you about answering the door?" I asked.

"But Daddy they said they would break down the door if we didn't let them in." My heart swelled when Luke called me Daddy. I didn't think he would except me this fast but we bonded earlier today.

"You could have woken us up." I said.

"We tried to!" Charlie said clearly annoyed. "You two sleep like Gorillas!"

"Gorillas?" Annabeth said sitting up from the couch.

"Ya, Gorillas." Charlie said tucking a strand of her black hair behind her ear.

"I'm sorry to interrupt," The female investigator said, "But is there a place the children can go so we can talk. I hardly would think you want them hearing what happened."

"What happened Mommy?" Luke questioned coming to sit next to Annabeth, Charlie followed.

"Nothing." Annabeth said quickly. I could see her breath was starting to quicken.

"I'll call my mom." I said.

By the time my mom left with the kids Annabeth was in full blown panic. The two detectives were trying to calm her down and wouldn't let me near her.

"Move!" I exclaimed. They did what I said and I moved towards Annabeth and locked her into a hug.

"It's okay Annie. You don't have to talk until you are ready." I comforted.

Slowly but surely I got her to calm down. I brushed tears from her eyes and told her everything was going to be alright. I told her how much I love her and how I always loved her. Then finally we got to talking.

"How long have you two known each other." Detective Sullivan asked. He was the male detective. Detective Perry was the female one.

"Since we were twelve." Annabeth answered cuddling into me as much as possible.

"That's what, sixteen years." Perry said.

"We broke up when we were twenty-two." Annabeth said quietly.

"Why was that?" Perry asked.

"Are these questions really necessary?" Annabeth questioned.

"Just trying to get as much info as possible."

So we told them everything they asked about us, our family, our relationship. One thing they didn't ask was what happened today with Annabeth. I was still in the dark but I didn't care. I trusted Annabeth to tell me on her own time.

When they left Annabeth and I resigned to my room. It was already 10:30 and Luke and Charlie would be sleeping at my mom's tonight. I gave Annabeth a T-shirt of mine. It went down to her knees and looked adorable. I couldn't believe she used to be taller than me. Now she was just a cute, petite, five foot three and I was towering over her by a whole foot.

I lifted her onto the bed and turned over so she was on top of me. I figured she wouldn't want me over her.

"Percy," She looked nervous and it made me feel bad. "I don't want to do anything."

"Oh Annabeth." I said brushing a strand of hair from her face. I would never asked that of you."

She rolled off of me and on the bed next to me. She put her head on my chest and my hand wrapped around her waist. Everything felt as it should be. I felt as if I had another purpose in the world.

I loved this chapter! It was so cute! I hated writing Annabeth's pain though! I feel so bad for her! Anyway next chapter up next week hopefully. You got two this week!

I've been reading the mortal instruments lately. They are like soamazing I started them last Tuuesdat and I'm already on The City of Fallen Angels. I'm obsessed.
