…Percy's P.O.V.

Percy woke up instantly when he heard a loud bang of the door. He was a little confused as to where he was and why he was sleeping on a chair but realized that he was in Annabeth's room when he saw her slowly waking up as well. They both looked at each other, confused about the noise.

"You drool when you sleep," Annabeth said with a small laugh.

Percy had never been more embarrassed in his entire life and that was saying something because he had done many questionable things in high school. However, he didn't have time to dwell on this since Piper came rushing into the room, looking absolutely delighted.

"Annabeth! You'll never believe what just happened," Piper shouted as she came into the room.

She saw Percy and stopped abruptly. "Oh, you're still here," she muttered, a little surprised.

"Yeah, I've been given some pretty strict orders to not leave. I'll go now, since you guys clearly have a lot to talk about," Percy said with a chuckle.

"Please send me your mom's number so that I can thank her for the heavenly cookies myself," Annabeth told him with her beautiful smile.

"I will. Oh, did Will message Nico yet?" Percy had a good feeling about Will and he had been pleased to find out that he was gay since he spent a lot of time with Annabeth. He knew that Nico would be really annoyed with him for giving his number but Percy just wanted him to be happy. Annabeth had told him that they would be good for each other and he trusted her.

"I don't know. We haven't talked since the hospital as we've both been pretty busy. Anyway, thanks a lot for everything you did today, Percy," Annabeth said, shifting a bit on her bed so that she could see Percy properly.

"Anytime. You really don't need to thank me after what you did for me last week." Percy was glad to see that even the short nap made Annabeth look much healthier.

He said goodbye to Piper and left the house. He had a shift at Ellie's in 15 minutes so he went there straight away. He had planned to spend some time with his friends that day and study a bit but he was happy to cancel those plans in order to be there for Annabeth. He knew that he would have to study till late that night but for him, it was worth it.

He was a little early for his shift so he decided to check his phone which had been buzzing a lot.

Perce, u have to come soon. We r celebrating! —Leo

Oh, u have a shift. Never mind, come to the bar after ur shift—Leo

Answer me. U can't ignore me forever; I'm ur roommate—Leo

PERCY! ANSWER ME—Leo

Calm down man, I'was busy. What R we celebrating?—Percy

Jason finally kissed Piper—Leo

Thank god, they finally acted on their feelings—Percy

Ikr. T'was becoming too much. So u coming to the bar? -Leo

Percy knew that he had to study and he probably would be exhausted after his shift but he had not gone out in a long time and he really wanted to have some fun after the stressful week he had.

I'll be there—Percy

Great, see u—Leo

Percy went up to the counter, put on his apron and started working. This was going to be his last shift for freshman year as he would start working at the shop again after summer. He liked his job since it paid pretty well, wasn't too difficult and his co-workers were nice. It was much better than his previous job so he always worked hard here.

He left his shift at 9 pm and decided to go to his dorm to change first. He had been in his hoodie all day and had even slept in it. Before he left the dorm, he sent a quick message to Annabeth.

Hey, just wanted to check in and make sure that u r ok. Please take it easy and don't overwork yourself. P.S. Congratulate Piper on her big news ;)—Percy

He checked his appearance in the mirror and headed out, feeling excited. It had been a while since he had been to the bar. He tried not to drink often since it brought back memories of Gabe- his ex-stepfather, but sometimes he liked to loosen up and enjoy a drink or two.

He reached the bar and found his friends pretty easily. Leo was talking animatedly to everyone while Jason, Frank and Hazel were pretending to listen to him.

"Hey guys," Percy greeted as he took a seat next to Jason.

"You're finally here! What do you want to drink?" asked Leo impatiently.

"I'll take a beer," Percy said and took out his wallet.

"Drinks are on Jason," Frank announced.

"Great and congrats man. You finally gathered enough courage to do this. It took you long enough." Percy had been tired of the shy and bashful looks Piper and Jason gave each other and couldn't understand why they hadn't acted on their feelings earlier.

"Thanks, it just happened. I asked her to get some coffee with me after our study group session was over but she said that she had to help Annabeth, so I walked her till her building and I just did it," Jason said a little wistfully, as if he was remembering the moment.

"You're not drinking Hazel?" Percy asked curiously.

"Nope, I just came here to make sure that you idiots don't embarrass yourselves after having too much to drink," Hazel reprimanded with a small laugh.

Percy noticed that Rachel wasn't there but decided not to comment on that fact. Their friendship was still a little fragile and he didn't want to tell his friends about it.

Percy had a great time that night, almost too good. He lost track of the number of beers he had and had fun dancing and chatting with his friends. He was so drunk that even Leo's impressions were funny to him.

Hazel was glad that she had accompanied the guys as they had all had a little too much to drink and she had to take them to their dorm rooms herself. She took Leo and Percy first and opened the door for them before pushing them inside. She forced the two of them to have a lot of water and left some aspirin on the table for them.

Percy didn't know what he was doing but he called Annabeth and when she didn't pick up, he left a voice message.

"Hi, I'm drunk. Woohoo. So, I just think that you're really pretty. Bye." Percy slammed his phone onto his bedside table and went to bed.

The next morning Percy woke up with a massive headache and had no recollection of the voicemail he had left. He took the aspirin next to him and heard Leo groan as he woke up.
