Percy POV

When Annabeth started screaming I really didn't know what to do. She scared the shit out of me. I was going to take her hands and hold her down. But, that would make me lose even more of her trust. I gaped when she screamed "End it!" I didn't know she even thought that way. I don't think like that nor will I ever. But, Annabeth is different and she can surprise you in ways you never knew possible.

I walked to te car and saw someone bandaged up and on crutches. He had brown hair and dark obsidian like eyes. Similar to Reyna's. I looked closer and finally recognized him. RYAN! I charged over there and stopped in front of him.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing? You're supposed to be dead," I growled. His eyes flashed with an enormous amount of fear. I glared harder and moved closer.

"I'm sorry! Please don't kill me! I'll do anything!" He started crying and trembling like Hitler at the end of World War II.

"I want you when you see Annabeth again, to APOLOGIZE! And when you apologize you will do it right!" I know no amount of apologizing would help this situation. But it was the most I could do besides killing him and ridding the world of one less of his kind. Annabeth wouldn't like that though.

Ryan nodded his head vigorously. " Absolutely. I won't forget. You can even be there when I apologize." I raised my left eyebrow and smirked at him.

"O you bet I will be there. You're stupid to think I would actually leave you alone with her one more time. Wow." I laughed and shook my head. Then I swiftly raised my fist my mood changing in a nano second. The little bitch flinched and whimpered. "Please. Don't hurt me. Please Please Please." I chuckled and walked away. That wasn't evil and you know it.

He deserves everything he gets. No matter what you do it'll never be enough to make him pay for his sins. All three of them sins.

I drove back home with a deep hole burrowing itself in my chest. I felt a lump in my my throat and had to get rid of it. So I yelled. I yelled and took a few deep breathes. It helped... A little.

I walked into our apartment and saw someone on the couch. It was a girl. She has choppy brown hair and kaleidoscopic eyes. They seemed color every time you blinked. She was also amazingly beautiful. No more beautiful than Annabeth of course.

"Piper?" The daughter of Aphrodite looked at me and smiled sympathetically. I glared at her.

"I don't want your pity." Piper winced and shook her head. I walked into the kitchen and she followed.

"Percy please don't act like this. Don't act as if this doesn't hurt you. I know it does."

"I'm not acting as if it doesn't hurt me. It does! I'm just not showing it like you would normally show it. Just because I'm not crying and eating ice cream in a robe watching The Notebook. Doesn't mean I'm not hurt."

Piper smiled and rolled her eyes. "Not all girls do that. But, I just want to see some kind of emotion."

"I am! I'm showing anger and hurt!"

"I know. Just...At least cry. Show some tears and sadness. Stop acting like a man and be a woman for once. Let it out in a safe way. Instead of beating people up and killing dummies." I rolled my eyes and started making some coffee for us.

"How do you even know about this?"

"My mom. I'm surprised she didn't come instead. But she wanted a mortal to mortal talk. So, you would be less nervous and more comfortable taking about it." I nodded in understanding and sighed. I put my head in my hands and felt tears rolling down my face.

"I still cannot believe Annabeth was actually raped. RAPED PIPER! I know she's beautiful but this did not need to go this far. I-I just feel like my whole world has crumbled. My heart is broken. Annabeth doesn't TRUST ME! She said that I cannot touch her. She tried to kill herself..." I started to cry more. Piper rubbed her hands up and down my back.

The coffee was done. I poured it and took some vodka out of the cupboard. I poured a pretty large amount into the mug and drink it all in one gulp. Piper stared at me wide eyed.

"Dont-you-dare. Do not deal with your problems like this Perce. Please Please don't. Annabeth wouldn't want you doing this and I don't want you doing this. This won't make it any better. So out the bottle down."

"Leave me alone. I didn't ask you to come here. So leave me be and go do Jason or something." I grabbed the bottle and walked into the bedroom. I stripped down to my boxers and climbed into bed. Piper had followed me into the bedroom and was rolling her eyes.

"Percy stop being a little bitch and give me the bottle." She reached out but I took 5 large gulps and then held it high up in the air. This vodka was strong and made you drunk after three shots. Usually demigods could handle a lot more. But my emotions weren't really helping.

"Pipes pleeeaase. Youknoow I reeeallly don-don't caare if you don't liike this." I pointed to the bottle drunkenly. My words were slurred but she could still understand me.

"Percy give it to me. This isn't the right way. Please. When Annabeth hears about this she won't be happy. She doesn't want to know that you actually drunk your problems away. That's not the Percy we know and love."

"Maybe the Percy you know and love has changed!" I handed her the bottle and tucked myself under the covers. "I'm only doing this for Annabeth. Now leave and let me sleep."

Piper POV

I looked at Percy sleeping soundly. He was so beautiful. Not that I don't love Jason. I just realize what Annabeth sees in him. He's so sweet and loving. I just don't want him to break. Percy is one of the most caring guys. One of those guys that make you feel like you're the only one that matters. I love those guys. And I love Percy. Him and Annabeth didn't deserve this. They're good people and they need happiness. But I guess the fates have other plans.

"I hope things get better for you," I whispered. "Please. Give them happiness. They deserve it. They've already done so much for you. Just give them this one thing."

I put the bottle in the garbage and laid down on the couch. Thinking about how good Jason and I have it.
