Hey. My dad was being a jerk yesterday, so I thought I would make a bit of Waldez out of it. Enjoy.

Lou POV

"What's the matter with you?" my step-dad asked while I slung my softball bag into the trunk.

"What?" I asked.

"You didn't hit one ball." he growled.

"I'm tired. I'm sorry." I whispered. He was getting angry and he's scary when he's angry.

"Oh yes. Because trying fixes everything." he growled.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked, sitting in the car.

"Work harder." he snapped. The whole way home I was lectured on how my lessons weren't turning out good and how he was ready to pull me out of softball all together. I tried to interject, but he would always talk over me. So I ignored him.

We got home and I ran inside. I was met with my mom.

"Hi sweetie. You okay?" she asked. I explained the whole situation to her and she thought it over for a minute.

"Maybe your fathers right." she whispered. That set me off.

"Maybe he's right? Are you hearing yourself? All you ever do is agree with him. When you found out I was a demigod, you took his side. If it wasn't for Raye, I would be at camp right now, a year rounder. All you ever do is agree with dad. I'm sick of it!" I screamed. I ran up stairs and climbed out my window. I didn't know where to go, so I sat by my hose and fished in my pockets. At last I found what I was looking for. My last golden drachmae. I tuned on my hose and held it so in made a rainbow. I prayed to Iris and threw it in.

"Leo Valdez, Camp Half-Blood." I said. The image shimmered and Leo appeared.

"Hey Volcano Boy." I smiled. Leo jumped but saw me and smiled back.

"What's up Horse Whisperer? Fight any monsters yet?" he asked. I shook my head, then thought, Could my dad be considered a monster?

"Lou! What happened?" Leo demanded.

"Nothing. My dad was being a jerk." I said. Tears rolled off my eyes. I was still upset because, if you don't know my dad, he basically just told me I couldn't play softball because I didn't hit a ball.

"I'm coming over. You still live where you lived last time, right?" he asked. I nodded.

"If I would have moved, don't you think I would've told you?" I asked. Leo nodded as if he hadn't thought of it before, which he just might of. Then the message disappeared and I climbed back to my room.

Half an hour later, I heard hoofs on my roof. I saw Leo and Blackjack and opened my window.

"You didn't have to come over." I smiled weakly.

"What kind of a friend would I be if I didn't?" he asked. I hugged him and then felt awkward, so I turned around and sat on my bed. Leo sat next to me.

"Thanks for coming." I leaned my head on his shoulder.

"I'll always be there for you Lou." he leaned his head on mine and it felt good. Like it was meant to be.

I was glad I had a friend like him.

If you didn't like it...well, tell me.

I thank Athena and KACOISBETTERTHANTHALICO for the idea and Hermes for the Internet.

Newsflash: This is before my last chapter.
