The Last Hurrah
As I think this he leans down slowly still looking at me and without my consent my body is leaning towards his. I feel his arms tighten around my waist and before I know it my eyes are fluttering close…
As we're still leaning in we hear "AWWW * Hiccup* YOU GUYS ARE * Hiccup* SO CUTE!" Thalia screams from behind us. Instantly we spring apart like a rubber band rebounding. I blush and look down while Percy looks up rubbing his neck.
"Thanks Thals." I say.
"YOU'RE VERY WELCOME ANNIEEE!" She drags out the 'E' I can practically smell how many drinks she's had.
"Oookay Thalia how many drinks have you had exactly."
"I don't know two…three…eight." She hiccupped again. My eyes bulge out when she says eight.
"Eight?! We have to get you home Thalia."
Her eyebrows scrunch together. "Noooo! Boo Annie you're no fun! Party pooper!" She whines drunkenly. I hear Percy stifling a laugh.
"Well you know me Thals, always the killjoy." I say tugging her in the direction of the car. She pulls her hand back.
"NOOO I want to stay!" She pouts. I try pulling her again but it's clear she's not budging I turn to Percy.
"Can you help?" He raises an eyebrow.
"And how am I suppose to do that?"
"I don't know carry her?" He lifts an eyebrow again. "Please" He sighs and picks Thalia up and swings her over his shoulder.
"The things I do for you." He jokes.
"Percyyyy put me downnnn." Thalia cries out giggling afterwards.
"Sorry Thalia Annabeth's orders. If I don't follow them we'll both be in trouble." He smiles over at me and I grin back.
"Got that right." We walk down the road and finally get his truck. Percy sets her down and Thalia almost falls over but I quickly grab and steady her.
"Whoa there Thals. Take it easy."
"I still can't believe you're making me leave." She whines pouting.
"Yes Thalia I'm so unreasonable." I say sarcastically.
"I'm glad you see my point." She grumbles. She climbs into the back and lies down.
I look over at Percy who's grinning. "You have fun dealing with her tomorrow."
"Shut up." I say trying to hide a smile.
"I'm just saying." He raises his hands. We climb into the truck and start on the 20-minute drive back home. We sit there in silence until he says something.
"Do you have a curfew?" Percy asks glancing over at me.
"Yeah but my parents are on a business trip right now so it doesn't matter."
"Yeah mine is 1." I looked over at the clock, which read 12:57.
"Oh my gods Percy I'm so sorry I didn't mean to get you in trouble."
"Annabeth it's fine my Mom thinks I'm sleeping over Nico's." I breathed a breath of relief. I really would have felt awful if I'd gotten Percy in trouble.
"Oh okay but I promise next time we go out you'll get back before your curfew."
"Really Annabeth it's okay. It's not like it's the first time I've broken curfew and it's not like it'll be my last." He smiles over at me.
"You do this a lot don't you?"
"Do what? Go to parties?"
"Yeah. You seem so… relaxed about the whole thing. Thalia drunk, skipping curfews I'd freak if I missed curfew and I hate seeing Thalia passed out drunk."
"I've been going to probably a party a week since the beginning of this year. So yeah I'd say I do this a lot. I don't particularly like missing curfew but it happens once in a while. It's something you get used to though." I sat there looking at him driving. He looked so calm and collected, something I could use a little of sometimes.
"What's your mom like?" I bite my lip. It's kind of a personal question but I was curious.
"She's… she's the best. I'm not the best kid in world, when I was younger I got kicked out of school a lot and she never got upset she'd just tell me we'd try again and hoped it worked out. I'm surprised she put up with me I tested her patients a lot. I don't know what I'd do without her. She's the nicest person in the world Annabeth, and she's dating this horrible guy named Gabe. He's awful to her and I don't understand why she stays with him." He tells me this looking straight ahead gripping the steering wheel tighter when he talks about Gabe. Just by the look Percy gave when he said his name I could tell he hated him. It was cute how much Percy cared about his mom.
"Sometimes we just don't notice until it's to late Percy and then we don't know what to do." I put my hand on his. He loosens his grip a little and his face softens.
"I wish she'd just rid him." He whispers.
"I know Percy. Maybe she just needs an extra push." I look up at him through my eyelashes.
He smiles a little. "I guess so." Then there's silence again. We pull into my driveway and he helps me by carrying a sleeping Thalia into her room. After he sets her down I walk with him back to the door. As he walks back to his truck he turns back around.
"Hey Annabeth?"
"Yeah?" I answer.
"I think I have a nickname for you."
"Really? What is it?"
"Wise girl" I think about it for a second then grin.
"I like it."
He grins back. "Goodnight Wise Girl."
"Goodnight Percy." I say then I watch him get into his truck and drive away from my house. How in the world did I survive tonight? I think. I go to sleep that night thinking about people watching, dancing, and a pair of green eyes getting bigger as they come towards mine.
