Chapter 5

After eating breakfast, Nico approached Percy. "Hey can I talk to you?" "Sure, what's up?" Then Percy eyes got wide. "Don't tell me you are going to admit that you are gay?" Nico then hit Percy's head. "Ouch! What was that for?" he complained. "Because you're an idiot!" Nico replied. Percy then started laughing. "Stop laughing, I need to talk to you in private. This is important." Nico demanded. Percy's face became serious. "What is it?" He asked. "Let's talk in my room." He instructed. They went upstairs to talk.

Inside the room, Nico is pacing back and forth. "So?" asked Percy. "I have this crazy idea that will benefit both of us." He started. "But it can cause chaos between our families." He added. Percy scrunched his eyebrows. "And that is?" Nico became quite for a while. "So?" Percy insisted. "Shit! How should I say this?" Nico whispered. He then looked at Percy and said, "I want you to become my talent, if that is ok with you?"

"What?" Percy said with a confused face. "Listen, I know it sounds crazy but you and I will benefit on it. " Nico said. "Are you fucking serious?" Percy asked. "Yeah I am. I thought about it all night. You see, you have the whole package thing. You have good looks and an amazing voice. They will love you." Nico said trying to convince his cousin. "I don't know man. I didn't picture myself like that. I love music but being in that kind of picture is huge. "

"I know, just think about it." Nico said. "Have you considered the fact that I am currently hiding my identity to the world? It can expose everything." Percy explained. "What about my family, especially Dad? Did you consider what they might feel about this?

"I did. And I know this will cause trouble. But look at the bright side, you can do what you love to do and you can share it to other people." Nico explained. Percy shook his head. "Just think about it. I don't need you to answer right away." Percy then exited Nico's room.

After a week, Percy didn't still consider Nico's offer. But after a heated argument with his dad, he tried to think it through and decided to accept Nico's offer. Nico was happy, ofcourse. Before they made it official, they announced it to Percy's family. Sally has mixed emotions but soon decided to support his son. Kelsi was excited and happy for his brother. Poseidon on the other hand was furious. Nico tried to reason out with him. He explained all the details. He assured him that Percy's identity will remain as it is, but of course with a difficulty considering the nature of the business. After a long persuasion, Poseidon gave in.

After accepting to become Nico's talent, Percy moved to Los Angeles. He stays in a bachelor pad, trying to keep a low profile. Kelsi on the other hand, went back to London to continue her studies.

A/N: I will fast forward the story/ scenes so that it will not take longer. I'll skip the part on how Percy made it in to the music industry. I'll just summarize it.

After 2 years, Percy made it big in the industry. He is now one of the biggest stars. He sold millions of copies of his first album. He goes on tour around the world. He is currently the top talent of Nico's Agency. Hades was so proud of him. On the other hand, Poseidon and Percy's relationship after 2 years was not on the best terms. Poseidon rarely talks to him. But Sally and Kelsi were so proud of him.

Percy and Nico are currently in New York to record his second album. They are on the car on the way to the recording studio. "Good to be back huh?" Nico asked. Percy nodded. "Do they know that you are here right now?" He asked. "Nope." "Why?" Nico asked. "Keeping low profile" he smirked. "But I'll call Mom later to tell her that I am here. And Kelsi is here too. I'll go visit them later." Percy explained.

Percy's POV

It's been a year since I visited New York. Last time I was here was when I was on tour promoting my first album. I rarely see Mom, Dad and Kelsi. Although we talked over the phone, I still miss them so much. I'm going to visit them later.

You may be wondering on how we managed to keep my identity as a secret. When I entered the industry, I was introduced as an orphan. We managed to find an orphanage that will back up our story. My fake identity goes like this: I was an orphan at the age of 3, my mom and dad died at a car accident, raised in the St. Michael Orphanage in Los Angeles and basically grew up there. I was discovered by Nico at a bar where I sing every Friday night. Until now the fans believe my story. So to keep my identity, I was not allowed to visit my family often, but I barely even have time for myself these days. I just finished my tour for my first album.

We have reached the recording studio. There are paparazzi around the area. We entered at the back door. When we entered the building I saw this beautiful girl on the lobby. I nudged Nico and point towards the girl. "Who is she?" I asked. Nico looked to where I pointed. "That's Calypso. She's one of the new comers." Nico explained. I nodded. "She's a beauty." I was drooling over her. "Closed your mouth, and wipe your drool." Nico teased. "Ha ha very funny." Percy replied. They headed to the elevator but before they went inside he looked back at Calypso, thinking that he need to get to know her.

After recording two songs, I am finally on my way to our house. I got two days off thanks to Nico. I am so excited to see them. I haven't called them so that I can surprise them. I know Kelsi is home now. When I finally reached our house the guard was shocked to see me, I smiled at him and he let me in. I went inside the house looking for Mom and Kelsi. I saw them at the lawn, talking. I sneak up on them. "Miss me?" I surprised them. They instantly snap their heads towards my direction.

"Oh my gods! Percy!" Kelsi squealed and hugged me. "Percy! " It was mom and she also hugged me. "When did you arrive?" asked mom breaking away from our hug. "Last night." I informed them. "Why didn't you call?" asked mom. "I wanted to surprise you!" "So how long are you staying here?" asked mom. "1 or 2 weeks. It depends." I answered. "I got 2 days off, thanks two Nico. So I'll stay here for a while."

"That will be great! Your dad will be surprised, just as we were." Mom chuckled. "I wouldn't count on that. He'll probably be piss seeing his prodigal son." I mumbled. Mom glared at me. I laughed. "Did you have breakfast?" asked mom. I shook my head. "I was hoping I can eat here. "I said. "Of course this is your house." Mom said. I chuckled. "Let's go superstar. You have lots of stories to tell." It was Kelsi dragging me to the kitchen. She have grown for the past 2 years, she is now turning into a fine young lady, I heard there are lots of boys who wants to date her back in London. I can't blame them. Well I guess it runs in the family.

Kelsi decided to interrogate me while Mom is preparing me breakfast. "So how was Australia?" she asked. "It was great. The fans there loved me. It was such an amazing experience." She smiled. "So where are my gifts?" she asked. I chuckled. "In my bag, I figured that's the first thing you'll ask me." I teased. She stuck her tongue at me. I smiled at her antics. "I bought for you too mom." I said. "Oh thank you dear. You know you don't have to." She said. I only smiled at her. We talked for a while. I did the talking while they listened. Kelsi then interrupted me, "Is it true that you are dating Rachel Dare?" "No!" I replied. "But the magazines said so." She said. "Nope, don't believe those craps. I only met her thrice. We'll she flirted with me but I don't like her." I simply said. "She's annoying!"

We spend the whole afternoon catching up. Until Dad came home, he was shocked to see me. It was the first time I saw him after 2 years. I didn't know how to react. He then moved forward and hugged me. I was too stunned to react.
