Okay.
I was so busy with 9th grade. I have such a hectic schedule. I don't have time for anything.
Anyway, here's your chapter.
Here we goo!
By the way, we still got some more chapters. I was kidding. hehe.
Percy:
Who the heck was I kidding?
Was the first thought that came into mind after I jumped into the water.
I was no quitter.
I would not just give her up to freaking Luke!
I had to try. I can't just give up.
I picked up my clothes and walked back into the house.
Art looked pretty surprised to see me only in my underwear and wet from head to toe, walking around the house. She just shook her head and said that she and the guys were going to visit her mom today. I just nodded my head as she walked away.
I rubbed my neck. Well, that was unexpected.
I ran as quick as I could to my bedroom and closed the door.
I needed to get a plan and quick.
But I was really tired. So I just fell on my bed and slept. Still wet.
A bad idea.
Annabeth:
I got out of the car with a blush. We kissed again. And I liked it.
Luke waved me bye and drove off.
I walked into the house with a dreamy smile and practically skipped up the stairs.
I removed my heels as I walked into my room. The rest of the guys went to visit Apollo and Art's mom, Nana Leto. She was the grandma for all of us. I cancelled today. We usually go to visit her once every week.
I heard someone sneezing from across the hallway and my heart nearly jumped out of my chest. I'm pretty sure no one else was here.
I took my purse and held it in a defensive pose as I walked to the place where the sound came from. It was Percy's room.
I slowly opened the door and peeked in.
I sighed after seeing who it was.
It was Percy.
And he looked sick. His bedsheets were bundled up against his waist and he was sweating. His breathing was laboured.
I slowly walked near him and put my hand against his forehead. He was burning up. He had a fever.
"Percy, Percy.." I said trying to wake him up. He probably didn't eat anything either.
He woke up and looked at me confused.
"What are you doing here?" He asked. Wow, way to sound welcome.
"You have a fever," I answered simply. "Can you come down to the kitchen with me?" I asked.
My mom always made me soup when I was sick. I knew how to make it since I had to make it for Malcolm once.
He nodded, I walked out of the room to let him put some clothes on.
I changed into some pyjama shorts and a hoodie and walked back to his room to help him up.
We managed to get down the stairs and I seated him on the chair and gave him a cherry lozenge.
I started working on the soup.
He started coughing all of a sudden. I turned around to see him laying his head on the counter. He looked so vulnerable.
I patted his back trying to soothe him. Even though we fought, it doesn't mean I wouldn't be there for him. He's my best friend and I'm starting to see him more like a best friend than a lover. Which is good.
He coughed a little more and stopped.
I poured the hot soup into a bowl and gave it to him. I watched as his hands kept shaking as he tried to pick the spoon up.
How did he get so sick?
"Do you want me to help?" I asked. He nodded and pushed the bowl towards me. We need to go to the hospital.
But first, I picked up the spoon, blew on it a little and put it near his mouth to open. He looked a little surprised but drank it anyway.
Soon, the whole bowl was finished.
I figured he would be tired.
"Why don't you sleep on the couch?" I asked.
"Okay." He said as he got up sluggishly and plopped down on the couch.
I went up to my room to get him some blankets.
I found him sleeping peacefully on the couch. I smiled and put the blanket on top of him. Hopefully, he's getting better or we'd have to go to the hospital.
I sat down on the sofa and switched on the T.V. occasionally checking his temperature.
I hope he gets better.
Percy:
I woke up on the couch to see Annabeth sleeping. She was sleeping on the chair next to me. The T.V. played in the background.
She was tired when she came inside.
I smiled. She looked pretty even though her hair was all messy and she had no makeup on.
Suddenly, I started coughing. I swear, it was not in my control.
Annabeth woke up looking panicked and rushed over to me. She gave me some water and sat down next to me.
"How are you feeling?" She asked, tenderly.
"Like shit," I said. I never swear because of Tyson and Estelle, but now felt like the right time to.
She chuckled and it was the most beautiful sound ever.
"How did you get so sick?" She asked.
Well, after you left with freaking Luke, I got mad and jumped into the swimming pool and then forgot to dry myself. Oh, and I like you now.
Let's say that. Then I could ruin my friendship with her.
"I don't know," I said shrugging.
She nodded in understanding.
"Wanna watch a movie since you're better?" She asked.
"Yeah, sure."
Ah. It's done.
Percy nearly gave me a heart attack.
Anyway. Review/Favorite/Follow
