If you hate how everyone is a little OOC here, I apologize. But it's how I plan to write the story, so it is what it is. Other than the OOCness, enjoy the next chapter.

Sexual Harassment Is No Joke

Percy's POV

I couldn't get last night out of my head, I still can't as a matter of fact. I can't help but feel a little violated. I mean, I know it technically wasn't rape since she was drunk and I actually participated in the event, but that doesn't make it right. What happened last night was a mistake, an hour of being caught up with the moment. It was nothing but a mistake. And now not only have I sexually scarred myself, but I've also done the same to Clarisse. I have greatly disappointed myself and brought shame on myself. I don't know what to do. Do I just go on with my life and just try to pretend that it never happened, do I confront it and try to embrace it to try to become a better person out of it somehow, or do I live with this guilt for the rest of my life and live knowing I made a terrible mistake and that there's nothing I can do to make up for it? I don't know, but until I can figure something out, it's best that no one learns about this. Not just for my sake, but also for Clarisse's sake. It would ruin her if people found out she had sex with the one person she despises above all others. Her social status may mean nothing to me, but the last thing I want is to give her more reasons to hate me.

As I was thinking this, someone came over to my table and sat right next to me. Out of all the people it could be, it had to be one of the many people here that I don't like being around me.

"Hi Percy." Said Drew.

"Hey." I responded, and that's all I really wanted to say to her. I don't hate the girl, I just hate how she is and that she uses boys for sex. That's just disgusting.

"So where were you last night? I looked all over for you, but couldn't find you. I thought you were at the party." Drew said.

"I was, but I left early." I answered.

"Oh, and why is that?" Drew asked scooting closer until her thigh was touching mine, making me feel very uncomfortable.

"Something came up that I had to take care of." I answered, which was the truth. I was just leaving the details out. Like I was going to tell her that I slept with Clarisse.

"Is that why you don't look too good right now honey? You look like you haven't gotten any sleep last night." Drew said moving even closer to me.

"I didn't. The party was just too much for me to handle." I said.

"Aw, well that's a shame. I really would've loved to see you. I was having a great time." Drew said rubbing her hand across my cheek.

"I have a feeling that your definition of fun and mine are two completely different definitions, especially since you have fun by using men for sex." I said removing her hand from my face.

"Yeah, I'm a really naughty girl. Perhaps a good spanking is in order." Drew said getting a ruler out of her pocket and leaning closer to me yet again.

"Is that really all you think about? Is everything to you about sex?" I asked trying to put some space between me and her.

"Well you know, there is more than lust or sex. There's also greed, pride, envy, sloth, gluttony, and anger." Drew said sitting on the table.

"Yeah, we all know the seven deadly sins. And for the record, there are also things like caring, honesty, generosity, and love." I said.

"Aw, you're such a big boy scout. I find that very sexy." Drew said and again moved closer.

'Oh my God, is she really this dense? And here I thought that Annabeth was annoying when she talks about architect.' I thought to myself.

"Drew, please stop." I said.

"How about you come to my cabin tonight, let me show you a good time?" Drew leaned down to whisper in my ear. Well, not exactly whisper, but said what she said in a seductive and low voice. I'm pretty sure it was still loud enough for a few people to hear though.

"Drew, seriously, stop." I firmly said.

"You and me baby, the pleasure we could offer each other." Drew said.

Then she moved in to try to kiss me. I didn't want her lips anywhere on me. But she wasn't letting me go anywhere. Forget feeling violated from last night. I feel violated as fuck right now.

"Hey!" Came a voice from one of the other tables.

Clarisse's POV

"Hey!" I said getting up from the table and going over to Drew.

It irritated me enough that Drew was flirting with Percy and couldn't just handle the fact that Percy wasn't interested, it even irritated me enough when she was being seductive towards him, but when she went in for a kiss, that really pushed my buttons. That was when I got up from my table and over to Percy's. People all thought I hated Percy the most in camp. Well truth be told, even before the quest he and I went on, whatever negative thoughts I would have towards Percy were nothing compared to how much Drew disgusted me. I can't even begin to describe my hatred over this bitch. She disgraces not only the female population, but also she disgraces Camp Half-Blood. Percy may not be the one to try to measure at anything, but he's a guy that actually has some dignity around here. I don't care what people say or make on the matter. Because giving the choice between Drew and Percy, it's in my opinion a no brainer, I'd gladly choose Percy over Drew, every single time.

"Hey Drew, why don't you beat it." I said grabbing a hold of her shoulder and prevented her from going any closer to Percy.

"Why should I? I don't see Percy having any problems right now." She said turning her head in my direction.

"He said he wants you to leave. So leave and stay away from him." I demanded.

"Why do you care? Last I checked, you hated Percy." Drew threw at me.

"I do, but I hate you even more. And if Percy wants you to get away from him, then you will, or else." I said as my irritation slowly increased.

"Is Clarisse La Rue jealous that I have eyes on Percy Jackson?" Drew teased.

'And I thought this bitch wasn't hateful enough. She really knows how to get me to increase my hatred towards her.' I thought to myself.

"I'm not jealous. I just hate you so much that I want to kill you." I said grinding my teeth.

"Never would've thought that would involve defending him." Drew threw at me.

The whole time, Percy was looking away from the both of us. I guess he's feeling even more uncomfortable than before. Percy, I know I'm probably one of the last people you want to see right now, but you'll be thanking me when I get this slut away from you.

"If Percy is the only boy in the camp that actually has some dignity here, then I intend to make sure he doesn't fall for your little game." I said.

"All I'm doing is just offering him a way to escape from the torment you throw at him every day." Drew said sliding her hand into Percy's shirt.

"I need to go." Percy suddenly said getting up and leaving the dining pavilion and going . . . I don't know where's he's going, just somewhere that will hide him away from Drew.

"Oh, you see what you did Clarisse, you scared him off." Drew pouted.

"I scared him off? Everything was fine until you had to butt into his privacy." I threw at her.

"You're the one to talk." Drew started getting up and standing boldly right in front of me. We were starting to draw some attention as well. This isn't usually how I intend to draw attention towards myself, plus this kind of attention isn't exactly something that makes me feel comfortable. But I'm too caught up in the moment of wanting this bitch to know how much I hate her.

"Does the fact that you bully him every day and every chance you get ring a bell? And even after he risked his life to save yours, you still treat him like he's the scum of the earth. At least I never cause him any pain." Drew retorted.

Personally, that reminder hit me like a brick to the head. I couldn't argue with the fact that she was right. I do constantly bully Percy. And I really do make him feel pretty bad about himself. But that can't possibly be worse that what Drew was doing, which is sexual harassment and lusting, two things that obviously make Percy physically sick. Though that still doesn't make what I do to him any better or forgivable. But at least I don't intend to scar him so badly that he will lose his sanity for the rest of his life.

"At least I'm not a slut that makes him physically sick 24/7." I threw at Drew.

"Well I'm not the one who has to be a heartless bitch and who can't have any decency to be nice to a boy who has done nothing to wrong you." Drew said to me.

That did it. That's when I pushed her into the Poseidon table and sent her down onto the wood. That earned some 'ooh's' from the other demi-gods. I stormed out of the pavilion to get some fresh air. I really needed to get some fresh air. It felt good for getting that out of my system, but I still needed to cool off.

"Hey, Clarisse." Angelica called coming to catch up with me along with Paulina following her.

"Clarisse, what was that about?" Paulina asked as she and Angelica caught up.

"Hey, she called me a bitch, she was asking for it." I answered.

"Not that, I mean defending Jackson over there." Paulina said.

"What about it?" I asked.

"Why did you do it?" Paulina asked.

"It got me to knock some sense into that bitch. So it was for a great cause." I said.

"Either way, defending Jackson, the camp's biggest loser and the half-blood we despise above all is an unusual event for you." Angelica said with Paulina nodding her head in agreement.

"Guys, I may hate Percy, but I hate that slut even more. So honestly, in a case that involves supporting Drew or supporting Percy, I'd easily choose Percy. This is the one kind of fight I actually want to stand with Percy on. And don't tell me you two would actually choose Drew over Percy, especially with how she the camp's biggest slut." I explained.

"Either way, support him over Drew in front of the entire camp is not a wise move." Angelica said.

"What was I supposed to do, just let her have a jolly in using Percy for sex and then just break him like he deserved it?" I asked.

"Drew may hurt the kid, but it's not like it should matter to anyone. If he gets hurt, then he get hurt. Nothing more to say." Paulina said.

I could not believe I just heard that. How can they think sexual harassment is nothing more but a joke? Bullying is one thing, but sexual harassment is way over the line. It's not something that someone should take lightly like that. Do my friends really think that it's no big deal if Percy gets sexually scarred like that? I can't believe anyone would be okay with that. It is a big deal. I know that Percy would never want Drew be near him like that, and just like earlier. Just the thought of Drew possibly raping Percy or trapping him so he has no way out and gets taken against his will was nowhere near a pleasant thought. Quite frankly, what I saw of her trying to seduce him wasn't pleasant either. It made me feel sick and . . . oh, I really do feel sick. I don't feel too good right now. I really needed to get away.

"Hey, Clarisse, where are you going?" Angelica asked as I broke into a run.

"I need to be alone." I said running away.

I ran into the woods. I really needed some time to be alone. I can't believe anyone would be perfectly alright with sexual harassment. Even I know never to stoop to that low.

I parked it on a tree and just sat against it. I just sat there enjoying the cool breeze that I felt in the air. All I wanted right now was to just sit down and relax and lose myself into this peace and quiet.

Eventually though, as I was at peace, I heard some faint in the distance. I couldn't pick up what it was, but judging from what I was able to hear from this faint noise, it sounded like a guitar, or some sort of stringed musical instrument. With curiosity winning the best of me, I got up and followed the direction of the faint noise I was hearing.

Percy's POV

After the whole cat fight between Drew and Clarisse, I left because not only was I beginning to feel uncomfortable, but in a way, they both were kinda reminding a lot about last night and many other terrible experiences I've been going through lately. In all honestly, I'd rather not be reminded of any of that, especially all at once. I really needed to get out. It was all beginning to swim throughout my entire mind and it was making me feel noxious. I left to go to the one place that I knew I could be alone at. The one place I always go when I go through a hard time and I just need some time to take my mind off things.

I went to the lake. Sometimes I go into the lake for a swim or to lay down under the water to relax, and some other times I go there because I go to play some music. My mom used to say to me back when I was a small child that music is nature's pain killer. I don't know how much I ever believed that back when I was younger. But nowadays, I've been experimenting that theory of my mom's, and I've been seeing myself proving that hypothesis correct. It was a bit strange, but I found enjoyment in it, so I had nothing to complain about.

Today, I felt like I needed to hear some music. With how Poseidon ben ignoring me, I didn't feel like being in his domain. I haven't been in it at all these past two months actually. So like every other day these past two months, I got out the guitar I have that I hide out her and I began to play the first song that popped into my head. That one song was Fade To Black, written by Metallica on their Ride The Lightning album made back in July 27, 1984.

Life, it seems, will fade away

Drifting further every day

Getting lost within myself

Nothing matters, no one else

I have lost the will to live

Simply nothing more to give

There is nothing more for me

Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be

Missing one inside of me

Deathly lost, this can't be real

Cannot stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filling me

To the point of agony

Growing darkness taking dawn

I was me, but now he's gone

No one but me can save myself, but it's too late

Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed

Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

Following all those lyrics was about three to four minutes of playing guitar, not that I minded. At the end, I started to calm down a little. I was thankful to know the wonders of music. How I actually had the mind to doubt it back then as a child is beyond me. Oh well.

I was about to play another song, which was a song I hadn't chose yet, but it would seem fate had other plans for me on this one.

"Percy?" Asked a voice I couldn't believe I heard.

I turned around to make sure I wasn't just hearing things or whatever. But as it turns out, I actually wasn't. I wasn't even losing my mind, I knew that since I was able to calm my nerves already. Even though I saw her, I still couldn't believe that I actually did. One phrase for this moment, WTF?

"Clarisse?" I asked in disbelief.

I'm having quite a number of twists in mind for this story in my mind right now. And I just threw one right now. Well, maybe a little more than one, but you get the point. Hope you all like the chapter. Again, I apologize for the OOCness. I'm trying to keep them in character as to how they were in the movie. I know I could be doing a better job at it, but at least I'm not terribly off. At least I don't think I am. Well, I got work to do unfortunately. Later.
