Hi Readers!

I'm really sorry for not updating yesterday – I was ill and ended up going to bed after school.

So as an answer to 2 guest reviews

Random guest - No I haven't come up with my evil laugh yet. It is really getting on my nerves…

To Rumin Lumin - Thank you for being so considerate but I've been trying to spend as much time with my friend as possible and I think we're both at a point where we're trying to emotionally get over it so you really don't have to make an account on my behalf though again, it is really thoughtful of you to even consider doing that for me so thank you so much!

So today's chapter is taking off from that evil cliff hanger I left you guys with on Friday. Well at least on Friday where I live anyways….

Before I start I want to say a quick thank you to anyone who views this fanfic. We're almost at 9000 views and we have gone over 100 reviews as well!

So enough of me droning on…. Hope you enjoy the chapter.

Blaring sirens could be heard amidst the shouting and fighting going on inside the mansion. One of the neighbours must have heard all the noise and called the police.

"Run!" Someone yelled and quickly everyone other than the gang began to try and disperse from the building.

Piper was still on the floor sobbing though who could blame her. She had been incredibly brave to take Luke's punch for Jason.

Percy was trying to stand up with the help of Annabeth and Thalia after being hit in the stomach by Luke too.

Beckendorf and Silena being the oldest went outside to deal with the police while the others tried to recover from the shock of the brawl.

Those who hadn't been hurt began tidying the room and any shards of glass from the broken punch bowl.

Eventually Silena and Beckendorf came back in with a police officer not far behind so that Piper could file a report about the guilty party. A paramedic also came in to check on Piper's broken nose, Percy's chest and Annabeth's facial cuts and wounds.

Once they had left however the gang descended into drama.

"My dad's going to kill me!" Piper wailed, wincing in pain when her nose began to throb in pain.

"We'll convince your dad it wasn't your fault." The gang assured her.

"Forget about that, what about the fight? Imagine if someone spills about it at school!" Silena groaned.

"What do you mean imagine? The whole grade was here someone's obviously going to spill and then one of us will have to take the fall as well." Leo said.

They all fell into a worried silence.

"It was my fault." Annabeth said quietly. "I should take the blame."

"Annabeth it wasn't your fault. I mean how would you know your control – freak of an ex would show up with Rachel?" Thalia reminded her before clapping her hands to her mouth. "I'm such an idiot."

"Control freak?" Grover asked.

"Ex?" Percy questioned.

"Oh get your priorities straight Jackson!" Reyna yelled.

All of a sudden they were all arguing, slowly drifting into chaos, and Annabeth could feel nothing other than guilt. She felt it was her fault. Luke was HER ex and she had led him here to NYC. Now all her friends were arguing because of her past regrets and choices. She was a terrible person. She had to fight against herself to keep lingering tears from escaping to her already pale cheeks.

"Guys!" She interluded causing them too all look at her. "It's my fault and I'll deal with it! I don't want you guys to take the fall for something my past choices created. I'll try to get Luke and Rachel to stay away from you guys and if it calls for it I'll take the fall if any teachers at school find out. Just please stop arguing!" With those last words she walked away from them. She walked out of the house. She walked away from the street. She walked home.

There was nothing any of her friends could do about it. They let her leave in silence. The effect of her words were too much.

"Great! She's gone." Thalia flailed her arms in the air shaking her head. "Let's leave this conversation here. I don't want anyone to bring it up again."

"She's right." Piper finally spoke. "Let's just tidy up and then if you guys want you can stay over."

They agreed and cleaned in a thundering silence.

Okay… This chapter is nowhere near as long as I wanted it to be! It certainly took a very dramatic turn as well. I'm going to blame it on my deliriousness from being ill.

If anyone has any recommendations for an event or activity you guys would like me to use in another chapter then feel free to let me know.

As always feel free to review!

I'll try my best to write a LONG chapter tomorrow. I've finished my homework now thank goodness! Freedommmm!

Cya tomorrow! Byeeeeeee!
