Homework was hell. Adam doesn't have deslexia but he has trouble learning. He helped me read my homework.
"Okay, if the equation is 2x+8, what is the y-intercept?" Adam looks down at me as we sit in bed.
"Uh, the positive eight?" I looked up at me, our faces inches apart.
"I think so," Adam says and circles the positive eight.
After homework, Adam goes to his own room and I crawl under the covers. I close my eyes and try not to distract myself. After a while, I fall asleep without nightmeres.
When I wake up, I take a quick shower. Then I put on a blue flannel(if you haven't noticed, it's my favorite) with black leggings and my black converse.
Adam meets me on the stairs, he has a camp t-shirt on and black basketball shorts with converse.
"Hey," he says and takes my hand.
"Hey," we walk down the stairs together.
We eat breakfast and then head to school. This time we ride with Percy and Annabeth.
"Hey can I ask you guys something?" I lean on the center console as we sit in the garage.
"Yeah sure," Annabeth looks back at me.
"What happened between Leo and John Luke?" I ask softly, "but you don't have to answer that."
Percy tenses up in the front seat and Annabeth looks over at him. "We had some hellhounds attack at school last year. Leo got cut up and John Luke started picking on him in the bathroom. He was saying a bunch of crap things about Calypso so Leo punched him. He ran away and Jason and Calypso found him on the bleachers. He cut himself."
I sat back down on the seat, Adam looks over at me. "If you're wondering, I'm nothing like my brother."
"Yeah we know," Percy says and starts up the car.
We drive in silence for a while, Adam brushes his thumb over my knuckles. When we get to school, I book it to my locker. As soon as I open it, somebody slams it close.
"Hey what the-" I turn around and meet a muscular chest. Then I fallow that up until I see a burly face.
"I heard you didn't fallow Lillian's instructions," he pushes me into my locker. The padlock digs into my back.
"Yeah because I'm not her bitch," I gritted my teeth.
"Well you're a little mouthy aren't you," he said and shoved me in harder.
"Get away from me," I shoved back with all my strength.
He stumbles back words and punches me in the eye. I slide back against my locker as he runs away. He obviously wasn't from this school.
Everybody stares at me, then the bell rings and everybody scurries back to class.
My head throbs and black spots start to form in my eyes. Luckily, the girls bathroom is right next to where I had fallen. I slowly crawl in there and lock the door behind me.
Adam texts me: where are you? What happened?
I slowly text back: girls bathroom in the commons. ASAP
He doesn't respond after that and I know he's making an excuse to come and get me.
A few minutes later, somebody knocks on the door. "Parker? It's Adam."
I slowly reach up and unlock the door. He shuts it and locks it behind him but doesn't look down at me.
"Parker! Oh my-" he drops down beside me.
"Gods not so loud," I clutch my head and whisper.
He gingerly touches my throbbing eye. "What the Hades happened?"
"Some kid was being a Toby for Lillian," I whisper.
"And he punched you?" Adam's face turned pale.
"Yeah," the black spots make an apperence again.
"Hey are you okay?" He pulls me into my lap and sits against the wall.
"No," tears spill down my cheeks.
Adam slowly runs his fingers over my hair. "I'll call Percy and take us home."
"Okay," I wipe my eyes with the palm of my hand.
Adam's eyes turn watery and I wipe the stray tears away. "Parker this has to end now."
"Adam stop I can handle my self," I lean onto his chest.
He pushes my head up, "hey. Parker I am here to protect you, okay?"
"Okay," I start to cry again.
It all happened so fast, Adam leaned down and touched his lips to mine. I slid my arms around his neck, it all felt so natural. One of his hands went on my hip and another knotted in my hair.
It was a split second before he pulled away, the tension in the room vanished as he pulled out his phone and texted Percy. He said he'd be there in a few minutes, everybody else would be coming.
Adam carried me out of the bathroom and got in Percy's car. He seemed really mad, kind of like I was his little sister.
I laid down on the couch and Calypso put an ice pack on my eye. "So who did this?" Hazel brought out a peice of paper and charcoal pencils. "Describe him."
So I described him and Hazel drew him perfectly. "That's it, that's him." I slowly sat up and pulled the icepack off of my eye.
Adam squeazed my hand. "Easy there."
"Did he tell you his name?" Percy crossed his arms, his expression grim.
"Why would he tell me his name?" I laid back down on the couch.
"I don't know," Percy shrugged.
Adam kissed my knuckles and placed the icepack back over my eye. Nobody even blinked at the sight. Leo sat in an arm chair, curled up with a blanket. Probably thinking about the whole John Luke thing. Calypso sat down beside him and kissed his cheek.
We all watched TV, everybody splayed out on couches or chairs. They were all kind of like a big family, I love it.
Adam crawled on the couch with me and wrapped his arm around me. I closed my eyes and everything was a blur. Soon, I was asleep.
When I woke up, my head was throbbing. When I touched it, it was swollen. I slowly sat up, we were alone in the livingroom. There was a warm fire built, probably by Leo.
Adam stired and opened his eyes. "What's wrong beautiful?"
"Nothing, I just woke up." I turned around and his gaze softened. "What's wrong?"
"Oh Gods, it's all swollen." He gently put his hand on my temple.
"I can feel it," I laid back down beside him.
Adam slid his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to his body. "I don't think we're going to school today."
"Good idea," I groaned.
"I am going to kill him when I find him-" Adam's expression darkened.
"Adam stop," I said softly. "I can take care of him. I was just unprepared."
He bit his lip and I hid my face in his neck. "How's the eye?"
"It hurts," I whispered.
Adam slowly pulled my face away and kissed below my eye. "I'll make it better."
I curled my toes and leaned into him. "Thanks Adam."
He closed his eyes, "come on. Let's go to sleep."
I closed my eyes and hide my face in his neck. Soon, I'm asleep again, so is Adam.
When we wake up, somebody is talking quietly in the kitchen. It sounds like Leo and Calypso.
"Cally, it's just like the same thing that happened to me." Leo whispered, was he-crying?
"Firebug, it's okay." Calypso says in a soothing voice. "She's okay, it wasn't John Luke."
"I hate him," Leo sobs.
"Come on, let's go back to bed." Calypso says and they start walking back upstairs.
It's about six as I check my watch. I get up and go to the bathroom, my eye is swollen a solid purple and I can't see out of it.
When I get out, everybody is sitting at the table. Even Adam. "What's going on?" I sit down next to Adam.
"We're going to find him," Percy said. "Because you're like my little sister, like Kellie is to me and nobody messes with my sisters. And like if Frank EVER hurts Hazel, he knows I will literally kill him."
Frank nodded and turned pale. "Yeah of course."
"And when I find him-" Percy started to raise his voice.
"Percy," Annabeth warned.
"Sorry," Percy dropped his voice.
I touched my throbbing eye, "you guys don't have to do this for me."
"Of course we have to do this," Piper said. "I will kill him."
Hello everybody! I literally sat down and wrote this chapter in about an hour. Hopefully I find out a way for them to find this guy. Anyway, leave some suggested on how you think they should find them. If I use your idea, I will give you credit for it.
I actually like this story and I've only really like writing two. But it's not one of my best stories. Anyway, please leave a review in that SPECIAL box below and I will do something idk you pick.
Anyway! Bye!
