Percy's pov
I was currently being dragged off to lunch by my eternal crush and (kind of) rival. Let me tell you from first hand experience she is stronger than she looks ( and that's saying something for a guy who works out everyday, has an eight pack, plays basketball and swims, and lifts an instrument that feels like it is ten thousand pounds). sorry adhd got sidetracked right... we were talking about... right me being dragged to lunch. so we get to the cafeteria and I get a lot of weird looks from some people cause I'm kinda what they think of as the big jock kid ( great grammar I know right). Once we get to the table I see Jason! and Piper, Leo, Hazel, and Frank! What in the holy name of Hades. "Oh so looks who cares to join us after 3 years of trying to get him to sit with us" Jason pipes up.
"it's probably because his girlfriend Annabeth is here" Piper adds.
If you don't know Piper is like the love of the group. Anyways back on topic. Me and Annabeth are blushing tomato red while the entire table group is laughing their heads off at me and Annabeth's expense. After that we go back to normal until I ask. " Question when did you meet these guys I've known them since first grade and They are the only other people who know about IT" I ask.
" um actaully I just met them last year and we got along pretty well" she responds.
" They where the people I went to when I needed them, and I know laugh at me big jock man (once again with the great grammar) actually needs people" I say a little ashamed of myself.
"Why is that a reason to be embarrassed about that, that just means that you can accept the truth and find people to help with it that shows true strength." She says
That's when I hear the ding in my pocket. I take my phone and check my text messages and thats when I see it My mom has had a stroke."no no no no|no|no this can't be happening" I say and I rush out. I go strait the office to see the office lady Ms. Jess. " please Ms. Jess let me see her" I sob out.
" see who dear" she asks full of concern.
I pull out my phone and let out another sob. I pull up the text and slowly turn it to reveal to Mrs. Jess who looks to be in shock. " don't worry hon I'll get you covered you go see your mom my regards I hope she gets better dear" She says.
I run out of the school as fast as I can and get into my blue Prius and drive as fast as I can ( probably going over the speed limit but shhhhhh!). My brain goes into overdrive as I swerve in and out of lanes in Manhattan in and out of traffic. Then finally I get there the Manhattan hospital. I run into the lobby panting from the long run from where I was parked to the actual hospital. " Hello sir how can I help you" the lady at the front desk said.
" I'm here to see my mom Sally Jackson, my name is Percy Jackson her son" I ask in a panic hoping I can see her.
" Okay sir go to room 183 B she will be in there" she says.
I rush and get to that room as quick as I can and that's when I see her. My mom is in a coma with breathing tubes and a heart rate monitor hooked up to her. I let out a small wince and that is when the nurse that is tending to her notices me. " hello sir are you here to see Sally Jackson."
"yes I am I'm her son Percy jackson" I say
" okay take a seat right here will i fill you in on what has happened" she says
She fills me in on what happened so apparently she will probably wake up in one week. Which is not horrible for a coma. I sit there holding her hand for about an hour before I get up and take a stretch and tell the nurse "I'll be back in some time see you later" I say and walk out of the room I walk out of the room and out of the office.
I get back into my Prius and drive to the pond and go to the dock. I pull out my phone and text Annabeth. I tell her to meet me at the pond.
Annabeth's pov
After Percy ran out on the verge of tears we where all worried for him. It was probably two hours later and I was out of school when I got a text form percy.
Percy: can you meet me at the pond.
Annabeth: yeah sure be there soon
I got up and threw on an old hoodie that I had and left the house. My Dad and Step-monst... sorry Step-mother Helen went on a vacation. walked and saw a blue Prius that was most likely Percy cause he loves blue. I walked deeper and deeper into the forest I saw the water shimmering and I also saw Percy Crying on the dock? "hey Percy" I replied worried about him.
"thank you for coming this means a lot to me" he said.
"Why didn't you call Jason" I asked?
"well you where on my contacts and I don't know why but it felt right so that's how where here now" He said
" do you wanna tell me what happened" I ask?
He breaks out into more uncontrollable sobs. I walk over and hug him holding him in my arms. the sobbing slows down and he spoke again.
"My mom she had a stroke" he says.
