I kept fading in and out of conscience but all I could hear were voices, high pitched, low pitched, panicked, calm and most frightful were saying I can let go. Have you seen The Fault In Our Stars? You know how her mother when she was younger saying it was ok to let go? I heard voices saying that to me. But they all sounded under water, almost like they couldn't speak any louder even though they were shouting.

It was pitch black with the few exceptions of me being semi-awake. I don't know how long it was, an hour, ten minutes, maybe a whole day but then it was deep silent, I could hear the heart monitor beeping so I wasn't dead but no one was there anymore. I tried to open my eyes but they were being have to assume I'm in a coma, I had read before statements saying that people could still hear even in a coma but not about being unconscious. Shit. Since when did this happen? I was able to open my eyes just a little bit ago. Was it a short period of time ago?

I heard the door open and multiple foot steps come in.

"Doctor this is my daughter, I need her awake." A manly voice said, most likely my dad.

"Sir, these things aren't predictable. She's progressing rather quickly so soon hopefully."

"Can she hear me? If so I would like a minute alone with my daughter."

"Sure I'll be back soon to check her vitals." I heard steps and the heavy hospital door swing open and shut. I heard pacing for a second when my father's steps got louder and therefore closer.

"Listen slut. The doctors have sewn your leg shut but they are curious about the bruises and condition of your clothes. I know the clothes and half the bruises aren't mine, have you been slumming around? I don't care but the doctors when you ask you, you will deny everything or else I will lock up all your mothers stuff and leave you. I'll take Helen and the boys and we will leave you all alone on the streets of New York, got it?" Suddenly a wait was lifted off my chest and I flung myself forward into an upright position and my eyes flew open and my head banged into my fathers.

"Morning dad," I said lying down on the bed rubbing my head. My eyes adjusted to the bright white hospital room with white and cream colored furniture. I had the simple bed, a counter and one couch plus a small television. On the counter there was a bundle of magnolias on the counter. The couch to my left with the counter and IV to the right. My father was standing to the right.

"Ill go get the doctor." As soon as I woke up he left, not without throwing me a glare over his shoulder.

"Wait!" I called after my dad and surprisingly he paused in the door way, "where are my… friends."

"No one has visited you before me today. You have no friends. You belong to me and me alone, plus no one would want to friends with a slutty loser, dumb-ass."

"Bitchface." He turned around to leave without even acknowledging my insult.

I had no one come and visit me. How could they, I mean not Leo or Luke or Thalia or Nico or Percy. Not even Piper and Hazel flew from Cali, maybe they just hadn't heard, but what about everyone else. Leo and Percy were there when I collapsed. That's just…arg. I had to refrain from chucking the magnolias because I heard the doctor opening the wooden door.

"Ah Annabeth your father said you were awake, glad to see he was correct. Just let me run a few minor checks and then you go, in 5 weeks I want you back so we can remove your stitches okay?"

"Sure"

"Alright but lets start with the questioning, just answer as honestly as you can. What is the most recent memory before passing out?"

"I was yelling at this guy names Percy."
"About what?" I got a good look at the doctor and holy fuckcakes how had I not looked at him earlier. He was gorgeous. With sandy hair and a nice tan and sparkling blue eyes with a chiseled jaw line that practically made me drool. And not to mention he had his shirt unbuttoned and could tell his body was exquisite. "Hello?"

"Oh yeah sorry it was that he wanted me to the car with him and I said no." He raised his perfect eyebrow.

"What was so horrible about getting in the car with him?" Shit I didn't thing about my answers he's too damn attractive.

"Well he's a guy and another guy named Leo was in the car too."

"So, wouldn't you consider these people your friends? Are you still in the cootie stage?"

"Can we stop?" I asked pleading for a yes.

"Annabeth is something wrong? If something tragic has happened I need to know because you may need some pills similar to PTS. I don't want you to come back in here because you're having a psychological lapse. I have seen the bruises on your body, both new and old," I tried to keep my face slack, "obviously something or someone is causing you harm and I want to help so let me." He had large eyes I almost caved.

"Nah I'm fine I just felt weird I had lost blood. Now its… Sunday evening and I am going to school because I was in a hospital for a couple days and need to get back on schedule so excuse me but I must leave and I'll be back soon." With that I stood up and went out the door. I couldn't find my dad so I went to the nearest bus stop to wait to go home.

I slowly walked up the stairs of the apartment building when I passed Percy's door and was almost up the stairs I felt a tight feeling in my good calf and I felt myself falling and about to fall down the stairs, I tried to catch myself but too late. I was tumbling and felt my bang my head on the wall or someone's door.

"Hello? The door above me opened abruptly and I felt my head lane perfectly between someone's feet. I looked up and saw Percy's smiling face grinning at me but concern was hinted in the rest of his face. "You just got outta hospital you should be more careful."

"it's not like you knew I was in the hospital." I spat getting up and stomping to our room.
