Chapter 19

Annabeth's POV

Thalia, Silena and I were hanging out at a café. "So what do you guys like?" Silena asked. We gave our order and she went inside. "Do you have any idea what happened to Sean?" asked Thalia. I shook my head. "Last time I saw him was at Silena's place." I said. She nodded. "I tried to ask Charles about him but he doesn't give me a straight answer. He always tells me that Sean's busy with other things."

"Do you think he's dating someone else?" I asked Thalia. "I don't think so. If he is then why won't Charles tell us." "Yeah you're right and he knows that I'm "supposed" to be dating Chris." I stated. "I don't think our plan is working." I said sadly. "Why not?" She asked.

"I rarely see Sean these days. He even stops texting and calling me. Oh gods I just miss him so much." I confided. I felt Thalia patted my shoulders. "Hey what are you guys talking about?" Silena asked while holding our orders. She sat beside me and handed our food.

"We're talking about Sean. Do you have any news about him?" Thalia asked. Silena shook her head. "Charles won't tell me anything." She said. "He never wants to hang out with us anymore." I said. "I heard his hanging out with Leo most of the time. I heard it from the Stoll Brothers." Silena said. "Do you think there is something to do with our plan?"

"I don't know." I said desperately. "He started acting weird though when he met Chris." Thalia said. "Oh yeah you're right. I noticed it too."Silena said."I just don't think we should continue it anyway. There's no use if he's not hanging with us anymore." Silence filled us.

"Hey is that Charles?" Thalia asked while pointing where Charles is. "I thought you said he's out of town today?" I asked. "That was he said. Maybe he forgot something back at the store." Silena said.

Charles' POV

I got a call from Leo about Sean. I immediately turn back. I need to talk to him before it becomes worst. I called my colleague that I won't be able to attend his party.

I entered the store and saw Leo. "Where is he?" I asked. He pointed to the office. I slowly open the door and saw him lying on the couch. "I said leave me alone." He snarled without looking. I closed the door and he opens his eyes. "Charles?" he said confused. "I thought you were out of town."

"I was actually on my way." I started. "Did you forget something?" he asked. I saw him trying to hide his hands. "Care to tell me what happened to you last night?" I asked. "What do you mean?"

"Don't play innocent Sean. What happened to your hands? Did you get in trouble?" I demanded. He shook his head. He showed his hands. "Oh you mean this? I accidentally trip over and cut my hands." He said. "Don't give me that crap Sean." I snarled.

"Who told you anyway?" He said raising his voice. "Don't change the topic." I said. "Did Leo tell you?" He asked with a hint of anger. "Just answer me Sean."

He ignored me and head towards the door. "Where do you think you're going?! I'm not done talking to you." I snarled. He pretends to not hear me and went out the door. I heard yelling outside so I followed him. I saw him dragging Leo out the door.

"What the hell is wrong with you Leo?!" He snapped. "I'm just worried about you Sean. We just wanted to help you." Leo tried to explain. "Let him go. He's just trying to help you."I ordered. He glared at me. "I don't need any of your help!"

When I saw Sean let go of Leo, "Leave us alone for awhile Leo." Leo nodded. "I'm sorry." He apologized to Sean and went inside. "Sean will you please calm down, don't get mad at Leo. He's your friend. It's normal for him to care for you." I tried to explain. He shook his head. "I don't want any of your help. I can take care of myself." He said.

I'm getting impatient. He's always pushing us back. "You know what maybe you're right. Why should we help you? You're the son of Poseidon. You're rich and powerful. You don't need any of our help." I snapped at him. He looks at me murderously. "Are you done?! Just leave me alone!" He demanded. But I'm not done with him. "Where are you going? Running away again?"

He looks over his shoulder and glared at me. "Maybe? I don't know but thank you for giving me that idea." He said mockingly. I lost it and grab him in the shirt. "You're stupid you know that. Running away doesn't solve anything." I said firmly. "Let go of me Charles." He demanded. "I'm not letting you go until I knocked some sense out of you.

He pushed me so hard that I almost fell to the ground. I saw him startled for a moment. He realized what he had done. "I…I'm sorry Charles I didn't mean to." He apologized. I compose myself. "Just talk to us." I said calmly. He shook his head. "I don't know what to do anymore. Just give me time to think."

"Sean.." "Please. I'll call you when I'm ready to talk. Just let me be alone this time." He pleaded. I saw his eyes full of emotions. "Okay, just please don't do something stupid." I asked. He nodded and smiled. "Thank You." He said and get in the car. I saw him drive away.

Silena's POV

I was about to call Charles when I saw Sean dragging along Leo. "Look!" I pointed to them. Annabeth and Thalia looked to where I am pointing. I saw Annabeth gasp at the sight of Sean. We can't hear them. But we can tell that Sean is mad at Leo. I can tell his shouting at him.

"Are they fighting?" Thalia asked. We saw Charles walked out to them. I can tell Charles is angry too. He said something to Sean that made him let go of Leo. "Guys what's happening?" asked Annabeth. "I don't know. We better ask them." I suggested. "I don't think that's a nice idea." Thalia said.

I turn back my gaze to Sean and Charles. I was shocked when I saw Charles grab Sean and slammed him in the car. "Oh gods what was happening?" I muttered. I saw Sean pushed him hard. I thought they're going to start a fight but I saw Sean froze. They talked and then Sean gets in the car and drive away.

"Let's go and talk to him." I suggested to the girls. They both nodded. We pick up our things and walked towards where Charles is standing.

When we were near enough, "Charles!" I called. He immediately spun towards us. "Silena?" He was startled. "How long have you been here?" He asked. "Long enough to see what happened." Annabeth replied. His face saddened. He looked down to the ground and let out a deep sigh.

I walk towards him and hug him. He hugs me back. "Is everything ok? What happened?" I asked. He let go of me and said, "Sean. He's acting weird for the past few weeks. I've been trying to talk to him but he just pushes me back." He explained.

"Is he okay?" Annabeth sounded concerned. "I wish I knew." He replied. "Even Leo can't tell what's going on in his mind." "I thought they're hanging out together?" Thalia asked. "Yes but he doesn't talk much. They're just been hanging out in the bar."

"He's going to be okay." I tried comforting him. He looks at me and tried to smile. "I hope you're right." He looks at Annabeth. "Maybe you can talk to him." He suggested. "Me?" She asked. "Yes, he's been closest to you before he started to drift away." He explained. "It will mean so much to me if you do. Please?" He pleaded. "I'll try but I can't promise anything. It's been awhile since I talked to him." Annabeth said.

"Aren't you supposed to be out of town today?" I asked. "Yes but when Leo called me I turned back." He said. "Uh okay. Would you like to hang out with us? We will meet the rest of the guys later." I informed him. He shook his head. "I don't know yet. I'll just call you." He simply replied. "I understand." I said.

"I'll better get going. I have to do something. I'll call you later." He said. I nodded. He kissed my check and said goodbye to us. He went to his car and drive away. "Wow what a day!" Thalia exclaimed. Annabeth and I looked at her quizzically. She just rolled her eyes. "Just trying to break the awkward silence."
