|flashback/about 12 years ago|
Percy Jackson and his mother Sally Jackson were riding home from a nice trip to the beach. Percy love visiting the beach. Especially when it was with his mom. Ever since his father left and his mom had remarried Gabe, life hadn't been the greatest. Whenever Gabe got upset, he'd take it out on Percy. Percy, being the loyal guy he is, took on the pain just to protect his mother. Sally had no idea about what's been going on, so when she saw Percy's bruises she was shocked, to say the least. Percy lied about them every time. Saying things like "Oh I fell off my bike", or "I tripped on the way home." Sally, not knowing about Gabe's abuse, just frowned at her son and told him to be more careful every time.
Percy and Sally were both wearing smiles as the rode home from the Montauk. Montauk was the beach the pair went to when they need to let off some steam. Today was one of the best for Percy because he was finally able to learn how to surf. All in all, it was a great day. Well, it was until Sally slammed on her brakes, making the car jerk at the sudden stop.
Percy looked at his mom confused. "Mommy, what happened?"
Sally turned to face her son who was sitting in the back seat. "Don't worry sweetie something just ran in front of me in the road. We're fine."
Percy tilted his head to the side a little, making him look like a small kitten. "What was it?"
Sally shrugged. "I don't know Perce. Come on, let's check it out."
Percy smiled and unbuckled his seat belt. He hopped out of the back seat of his old car and went to see what had caused his mom to slam on the brakes. What he saw was not what he expected.
A small boy with caramel skin and dark brown curls lay there huddled in a small ball of himself. His eyes were closed and his lips were pressed in a tight line. His entire body was covered with dirt and mud and he was very skinny.
Percy squatted down near the boy's face and spoke in a soft and calm voice. "Hello. I'm Percy. You don't have to be scared. My mommy would've never hit you.
The dirty boy laying in front of his car slowly opened his eyes to look at Percy. His dark brown orbs stared at Percy for a while before they made their way to the road under him. "I'm Leo."
Percy smiled when he heard the boy speak. He was clearly making progress. "Well, Leo. You look like your hungry. Would you like something to eat? Mommy and I could take you home and you can have food and a nice bath. would you like that Leo?"
Leo smiled and nodded. "That would be great."
Percy jumped up from where he was by the small boy and ran over to his mom. "Mommy mommy! Can we keep him? Please?! He doesn't have a place to stay, and he's hungry and needs a bath. Can he come with us?!"
Sally chuckled amusedly at her son. "I don't know Perce. What if his parents are looking for him?"
Percy huffed and crossed his arms over his chest. "If his parents were looking for him, he probably wouldn't be all messy!"
Sally had to give him props for that one. If his parents were looking for the boy, he probably wouldn't be this slim, or dirty. Sally walked over to the small child in front of her car and smile down at him. "Hello, sweetling. I'm Sally. What's your name?"
The small Latino boy looked up from the ground and at the lady. Her blue eyes had sadness in them, but also love and care. "I-I'm Leo"
Sally smiled wider. "Well hello, Leo. Are your parents looking for you young one? why would you run away?"
Leo looked back down at the road. "I-I don't have parents. Or a place to stay."
Sally frowned at that. No one should have to run out in the streets like that. Especially not someone his age. "Well Leo you are more than welcome to come with Percy and I. We'll give you a nice bath and some cookies you can eat."
The young boy looked back up at the lady with big, hopeful eyes. "Really?"
Sally laughed a little at that. "Yes really. Now come on. The sooner you get in the car, the sooner we can get you home."
Leo smiled and stood from where he was on the ground. He then walked over with Sally to the car and sat in the back with Percy. He sat with his hands in his lap and his eyes cast downwards to avoid any eye contact. He knew these people wouldn't keep him, but he was still happy to get a bath and some food.
"So Leo." Percy started. "Do you like the beach?"
Leo lifted his head and turned to look at the other boy. "I-I've never been to the beach."
Percy's jaw practically hit the floor. "You've never been to the beach?!"
Leo looked back down feeling embarrassed that he's never once been to the beach. "N-No."
Percy saw the younger boys discomfort, so he reached over and grabbed his hand. "Well, we'll just have to fix that."
Leo smiled and looked back at Percy. The sea green-eyed boy was smiling back at him, so he nodded. Maybe they would keep him after all.
|flashback end|
