Percy's POV
I floored the accelerator, and the car took off down the driveway, spinning gravel into the surprised faces of Frank, Jason, Nico and Silena.
I yanked my hand through my hair, cursing out loud. Why did everything have to be so complicated? Why did I have to have a father that was so fucking useless? Why did my mother, my calm and caring mother, have to be dead?
A rough sob sprang from my throat and I covered my mouth with my hand, even though there was no one to hear.
No one.
Oh gods, what had I just done?
"Yeah, great job, Jackson," I growled to myself. "You effectively flipped off the people who were just trying to help."
With your wedding, said the part of my brain that wanted to smash something.
Percy, calm the heck down, said the side of my brain that wanted to turn back around and just collapse on my bed.
Unfortunately, the part that wanted to smash something was too strong, so I drove on, not having a clue where I was going, my thoughts filled with white frills and a certain curly blond haired girl. Oh, and also smashing Jason's head in.
Annabeth's POV
"Annabeth! You okay?" Piper flounced over too me, inspecting my face, spotting my red eyes and frowning.
I nodded and smiled weakly. "Just fine, Pipes. Don't worry about me."
She pursed her lips, unconvinced.
I smiled again, trying harder, but I knew it looked like I was grimacing in pain. I huffed slightly and turned to Juno who had followed me out of the back room, my wedding dress draped across her arms.
I heard Piper stifle a gasp behind me. "You've decided already?!" She whispered in my ear.
I nodded, my curls bouncing around my face.
Juno smiled lightly at me, her blue eyes sparkling in the fluorescent light. "Annabeth is wonderful at making decisions." I didn't whether she was mocking me or actually paying me a compliment. To make myself feel better, I went for the latter.
Piper shrugged, a grin playing at her lips. "It's beautiful," She said, running her hand down the dress.
I sniffed. "Ah ah, no touchy!" I shoved her playfully.
She rolled her eyes at me. "You're such a goof, Annie."
I glowered at her. "Don't call me Annie," I shot.
She grinned, showing a set of straight pearly whites. I stuck my tongue out at her, flicking a piece of hair over my shoulder. Juno chuckled quietly.
I felt an arm being slung over my shoulders and looked over at Thalia. I had got to know her more over the past couple of weeks, and she was the complete opposite of me; reckless, pale, freckles, spiky black hair and electric blue eyes. She wore punk clothes. The new spiky choker she was wearing looked quite dangerous.
She grinned at me, her lip piercing stretching with her lips. "It looks wimpy, Annie."
My mouth flew up at the corners, and I tried to push it down, and I failed. "Shut up, Thals," I muttered.
She winked and removed her arm from around my shoulder.
I looked at Juno. "How much is it, Juno?"
She looked shocked. "What do you mean?"
My brows furrowed. "The dress. How much does it cost?"
She stared at me for a second, then her expression softened. "Cost? Oh, dear, for you? Absolutely nothing."
My eyes widened. This lady was already giving me her own wedding dress, now she was giving it to me for free?
"Oh, Juno, no! I couldn't do that to you. You have to let me pay! How much does it cost?" I said.
Juno sighed. "Annabeth. You are one of the nicest girls I have ever met. And besides, I know what you're going through. Please, let me do this one thing for you?"
This one thing? She was organizing my wedding for me, for gods sake! There's kindness, and then there's kindness. And Juno was going over the top.
I shook my head a fished some money out of my pocket. I pressed five hundred dollars into her palm, regardless of the actual cost. This lady was brilliant, and she needed to know.
Juno's face crumpled. "Dear, that is too much! Here, take this," She seemed to give in, and handed me back two hundred dollars.
"It originally cost four hundred, but I'm only charging you three, okay?"
I nodded, satisfied.
Just then, I heard a screeching noise behind me, like the sound of tourchered tyres...
Ha ha! I'm making you wait longer.
WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME, you ask?
WELL, I DON'T KNOW, I answer.
CAN YOU GUESS WHATS GOING TO HAPPEN, I ask?
WE HATE YOU, You answer.
I'M EVIL, I state.
WE KNOW, You holler back.
alright,no need to shout, I whisper.
