Lexie P.O.V
"That was really sweet, what you did. I feel so bad for that woman. Pregnant and her husband is dead. I think I would have a heart attack if we switched places," Said Hannah. I was sitting here in shock. Partly from sadness and partly from fear. Sadness is obvious and fear because I saw Ethan and the others in the crowd.
"Thanks. I do too," I said, feeling my ice. I had iced over the tabletop. I had ice powers, like Elsa from Frozen, only I can control mine way better. They only come out when I'm really nervous or any other really strong emotion. Only Hannah, Katelyn, and Kamryn know about them.
"Hey, what's wrong?" Hannah asked, seeing the ice. I sighed.
"Well, Ethan is here, Connor, Percy, and them are here. They looked really angry when they saw I had lied," I said
"Oh. That sucks. I need to tell you something, though," Banana- I mean, Hannah, said. Stop looking at me like that…
"What?" I asked.
"Well, I was wondering if you know why Ethan refused to live with Braden. I know you know him the best because you, y'know…" Hannah trailed off at the end. I had to stop myself from nodding like I did in Kindergarten when I'm excited. I won't go into the details.
"Well, I know that they started getting angry at each other around the time Isabella died. It got worse when we… Broke up, for obvious reasons. I feel bad, because I feel like I'm part of the reason they are angry at each other. Oh, and Hannah, you do know that it's not a forbidden subject, right?" I said, though I guess I didn't convince her, because she just shrugged that off.
"Whatever. Ok, thanks. Oh, by the way, act like you don't know anything about the incident with Connor and them. Just approach them slowly and avoid the subject act clueless," Hannah said, and then Kamryn piped up,
"Well, should we leave? Hannah, just hop in the car with Boyfriend Braden, Lexie, my brother will take you home then drop me off at the house," She said really fast. Boyfriend Braden…?
"Is that what we're calling him now? Boyfriend Braden?" Hannah said as we walked to the doors, while I mumbled about how much I hated the dark.
"Well, he is a boyfriend, and Godwin isn't, so Boyfriend Braden it is!" Kamryn said, proud with her discovery.
"Ok…" We kept walking until I ran into something hard. I looked up and saw it was a guy, who was on the phone. I bent over in pain when I bumped into him. Did it hurt that bad...?
"Nevermind dad, I'll find a ride," He grunted into the phone. I then realized it was Ethan, and I glared. He looked down at me and smirked. Why must he be 8 inches taller than me!?
"You're gonna be in some crap tomorrow. They're really angry at you," He said, looking at me with those eyes that never ceased to amaze me. They changed from blue, to green, to brown when he faced different angles.
"Well, that's great. They're never going to forgive me. I shouldn't have lied… I just wish no one brought it up," I said. I felt so guilty.
"It'll be ok. Oh, by the way. Could you maybe give me a ride to my place? I kind of ditched my ride," He said sheepishly. I sighed. I hate helping people who have hurt me. But...
"Ask Kamryn's brother," I sighed, and walked to Kobe. I tapped him on the shoulder,
"Yes?" He muttered. I pulled him out of the car.
"Ethan needs a ride home. You're taking him. He'll tell you his address," I said, yanking him to Ethan.
"What's your address?" Kobe said to Ethan.
"Mayville apartments," Ethan looked embarrassed by that, and Kobe looked skeptical.
"Dude, you live in a pretty sketchy place," Kobe said. I guess I looked confused, because Ethan said,
"Yeah, I know. Don't worry about it," We got in the car where Kamryn was waiting, and she glared when she saw Ethan.
"What is he doing here?" She asked him.
"Your brother is giving me a ride home," He mumbled, then looked out the window. Two minutes later, we got to a really shabby and sketchy looking part of town. I had been in some pretty sketchy places before, one of them I'd never forget, but this definitely made the top five. I started getting nervous.
"Um, Ethan, why do you live here? Isn't your father, like, a corporate lawyer?" I asked. He shook his head.
"No, he was fired and he had to sell his old place before I moved here," He said.
"That sucks. Well, we're here! Bye," I said, while basically pushing him out of the car. I waved then we drove off.
Kobe dropped me off and I walked in the doors of my house. I grabbed a plum off the island in the center of the kitchen then jogged up to my room. I finished my plum, brushed my teeth, and then jumped on my bed, not bothering to change out of my black AC/DC shirt and jeans, both of which I had stolen from Ethan. I dozed off.
I was running from the men. They were trying to kidnap Kamryn, Hannah, Katelyn, and I. I looked back and saw they were gaining on us.
"Run faster!" Hannah screamed. We ran faster, but it was no use. Each one of them caught one of us around the waist. I reached back and punched my attacker. He punched me across the face and I screamed. He just broke my nose…
"Stop! Please! We're only 13…" I screamed. But my comment fell on deaf ears. They carried us into an abandoned warehouse. Kamryn said the only thing that she could say without sobbing.
"This is so cliche. I mean, abandoned warehouse? That's in, like, every horror movie," I almost laughed at that, but I got choked up.
"Now, pretty girl, you are going to do what we say, understand? Or the little one gets it," The ugliest, greasiest one said, pointing at Hannah. I gulped and nodded. "Ok, now strip!" I was shocked, and started shaking my head. I was too young.
"Please, don't do this," I begged. I couldn't handle it.
"Now, or I'll do it. I'll also slit her throat.," He growled, pointing at Hannah. I started taking my clothing off, disgusted at myself. He jumped on top of me and I screamed. This couldn't happen, it-
I woke up gasping for air, clutching my throat. I started sobbing, thinking of what had happened that night. I cried for Kamryn, who had yet to trust any man after that. I cried for Hannah, who had been the happiest out of all of us, and she had that stripped away. But I mostly cried for Katelyn and myself. Katelyn because she had been the most innocent girl out of all of us, yet she looked at the most guys, and had that ripped from her in 5 seconds.. Then finally, myself because I had lost everything that night. My virginity, my trust, but mostly my ability not to feel fear. I kept having scenes playback. I didn't sleep a wink again that night.
Will's P.O.V
We were all talking about the concert.
"I feel bad. About Ethan and Lexie. I can understand why she lied, and I think I really struck him where it hurt," Piper was rambling, and Jason covered her mouth. I was sing beside Nico who was just sitting there looking so handsome and hot and gahh. And stuff.
"I wasn't mad, I was just surprised," Annabeth said, then dragged Percy off. We all one by one left the living room.
"Hey Nico," I said, catching him. He turned around. "Come to my room?" I asked.
"Sure," He said, and we walked to my room. We walked in and closed the door.
"Nico, I need to tell you something," I said nervously. I was really nervous, if you couldn't tell.
"And that something is?" He asked, and I almost forgot how to breath. Is dark Obsidian eyes were questioning, his pouty lips opened.
"I really, really- Y'know, this isn't working. Let me tell you a different way," With that, I crushed our lips together, wrapping my arms around his waist. He was frozen for a second, but then he wrapped his arms around my neck and started kissing me back. I pulled him toward me while he leaned back, pulling me onto the bed. We broke apart, putting our foreheads together, his breath tickling me.
"Woah," Nico said, then giggled. I looked at him, shocked. Nico. Doesn't. Giggle! "What?" He said defensively. "I'm happy!" He said. Instead of saying something, I kissed him lightly and said,
"Will you do me the honor of being my boyfriend?" I asked him. He grinned and nodded. Well, I might as well tell him now… "Nico?" I asked after a short silence.
"Hmm?" He nodded, and I gulped.
"I think I'm in love with you," I said, and I swear he lit up like a Christmas tree.
"I hold deep affections for you too," He said, and I punched him in the arms lightly. I rolled off him and started tickling him.
"Say it! Say you love me," He was laughing and gasping for air.
"Fine, fine! I love you!" I stopped tickling him and wrapped his small figure in my arms. We tangled our feet together and he laid his head on my chest. We kissed once more before falling asleep together.
Kamryn's P.O.V
We pulled up in Lexie's driveway and honked the horn. She walked out and I gasped when I saw her. Her hair was a mess and she was still wearing that AC/DC shirt and jeans that were way too big. There were large bags underneath her eyes and her face was devoid of the small amount of makeup she usually wore. She walked to the car and yawned. Strangely enough, this reminded me of the time when she was 11 and I was 12, and we stayed up all night fangirling over every book we read. I was snapped out of this thought when she hopped in the car. She looked more tired up close. She didn't look bad, just tired. Her face was really pale, which was weird for her usually tan complexion. Her eyes and lips stood out. I spoke after the short silence.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" I asked worriedly. Her eyes flashed. She shook her head.
"Nothing's wrong," She mumbled, "I'm just tired," I nodded, but I wasn't convinced. We drove in silence to school. Once we got there, Lexie thanked Kobe and we got out of the car.
"Hey, I talked to Connor last night," I said, and she nodded. "He says they're not mad anymore," That got a quick smile out of her.
"Good. That's one less thing for me to worry about," She said, then walked to her locker. I rolled my eyes and walked to mine.
"Hey Kamryn," I jumped, but then realized it was Connor. I relaxed.
"Hey Connor," I put my stuff in my locker and started walking down the hall. Connor followed me. I finally turned around. "Why are you following me?" I said with a raised eyebrow.
"We have the same homeroom," He said. I knew that wasn't it, but I took his answer. We started walking down the hall again. We were by the water fountain when we saw a small boy, freshman maybe, run into Ethan from behind. Ethan turned around, swinging a punch into his gut. His eyes widened. He got on the ground.
"I don't know if that punch was intentional or he just did that off instinct," I spun around and saw Kiana.
"Hey! By the way, who can tell with him? He's very unpredictable," I said, remembering the time Lexie came to us growling that he was cheating on her.
"Hi, I'm Connor," Connor said, cutting in.
"Are you Kamryn's boyfriend?" Kiana asked, and we both blushed and shook our heads no. She looked unconvinced.
"Well, I'm off to homeroom. I need to make sure Adam has decided what god he wants to do the history project on," She said, then walked to Ms. Seery's classroom. Well, thanks Kiwi- I mean, Kiana.
"Kamryn?" Connor asked.
"Yeah?" I asked back.
"What's your favorite color?" He asked. I looked up at him. I was 5 foot 11, so he was a few inches taller than me. That pissed me off at first…
"Teal," I said, and he nodded.
"Do you support Gay Rights?" He asked. What was this? 20 questions? I voiced my thoughts.
"Yes, but what is this? 20 questions? And why do you need to know?" I asked.
"I just want to know more about you. That, and two of my friends are gay," He said. I nodded. I could deal.
"Okay, well, we're here," I said, and we walked into homeroom.
Annabeth's P.O.V
Percy and I were walking to homeroom when Percy asked a question.
"Annabeth, you forgot to tell me that news you were going to tell me last night," He said, and I gulped.
"I'll tell you when we get to the house," I said.
"Why can't you tell me now?" He asked. Because!
"Because," I said.
"Because why?" He asked. I snapped.
"Because it's not something I want to talk about in the middle of a school," I snapped, then started walking faster so I wouldn't be late to homeroom.
"Fine," He mumbled, grabbing for my hand, but I pulled it away before he could grab it. He grabbed air. We stomped into homeroom, both of us feeling quite grumpy. I could feel my friends questioning looks, but I ignored them and focused on my desk. I wanted to tell him, but I was scared to tell him. I felt the tears pricking my eyes, but I wiped them away. I would tell him at home. The bell rang and we walked out of homeroom.
"Annabeth," Piper called. I turned around and said,
"Yes?" I asked.
"What is wrong with you? Percy's just trying to help you, and you're just pushing him away!" She said angrily. I spun around and glared at her. She flinched.
"What's wrong with me? It's none of your business. Focus on your own crap right now," I said, then walked away from her.
"Annabeth, you're making him really upset," She called after me.
"He'll get over it. He's been through worse," I snapped at her, and I walked away before she could say anything else to me. I walked to English. I was about to walk in when someone grabbed my wrist.
"Hello beautiful," A person who had been confirmed as a guy said. I grabbed his shoulder to pull his arms that had found to their way to my waist. I guess he took that as me 'wanting' him, so he kissed me. I tried to push him off, but he had a really firm grip on my waist. I heard someone gasp. I saw Percy running backing away and the guy pulled away, one hand on my waist and one in my hair. I pulled back, disgusted.
"You little bastard! Never touch me again!" And I ran to look for Percy. Instead, I found Piper again.
"How could you do that to him! He fell into freaking Tartarus for you!" She said angrily. I sighed.
"He kissed me. I put my hands on his shoulders to push him away, but he had a firm grip, okay?" I said. Her face turned into one of understanding.
"Oh," Piper said sheepishly. "Well, are you going to tell Percy?"
"Yeah, but I don't know where he is," I said.
"He's in that same sex bathroom. The school was really stupid to install that," I agreed with her immediately. They could start going in there make out. But, there was only one toilet in there so…
"Ok, I'll go talk to him," I said, and I walked to the bathroom. Jason, who was in the bathroom with him, glared at me and opened his mouth, but Piper dragged him out of the bathroom so Percy and I could be alone.
"Percy?" I said softly.
"What?" He mumbled. I walked over to him and sat on the floor beside him. "Annabeth? How could you do that to me? I thought-" I cut him off by lightly kissing his lips.
"Percy, it was a mistake. He kissed me, okay? I would never cheat on you. I love you," I said to him.
"He kissed you? I'm gonna kill him," He growled. I smiled at him.
"I took care of him," I said with my hand resting against his face. He grabbed my face with one hand and kissed me hard.
"Percy, that news… Well, I might as well tell you now. I'm pregnant," I said, scared of the silence that followed my words. Percy was frozen, but then a grin broke out on his face.
"I'm gonna be a Daddy," He whispered, and then he laughed. He got up and picked me up, spinning me around. "I'm going to be a Daddy!" I put my head on his chest as he looked down at me.
"I'm scared, Percy. What is I'm not a good Mom? What if-" He cut me off by pressing his and against my face.
"We'll get through this together. We always do," He said, and we kissed once again.
"Let's tell the others at home," I suggested, and he nodded.
"I hope it's a girl," He said, and I said,
"I just want it to be healthy, though a girl will be nice. But a boy would also be nice," I said, though I secretly was hoping for a little boy.
"Well, that too," He said, leading me out of the bathroom.
"Did you guys make up?" PIper asked, and we nodded.
"Yep," He said, and we all walked off into the sunset. Not. Percy actually saw the boy who had kissed me when we got to English, and, being the Seaweed Brain he is, forgot that we were already in trouble for being late. He punched kissy dude in the face.
"Percy Jackson! Detention! If this happens again, suspension!" He rolled his eyes and looked kissy boy in the eye.
"If you ever touch my girlfriend again, I will send you to the hospital with a broken neck and wishing you were dead. Understand?" He growled to him. He gulped and nodded.
"Okay," He gulped out. Percy nodded and sat beside me. He grinned at me with that lopsided grin and those sparkling sea-green eyes that I love so much. We sat through a boring lesson of how to write an essay. Shouldn't we already know this..? We heard the bell ring and we jumped up from our seats. We scurried out of the room and we ran into Drew in the hall. She was talking with that Ethan guy from last night. Piper immediately stiffened. Oh yeah… That was kind of harsh of her, last night. We overheard some of their conversation.
"Tell me more about him?" Drew was begging. Ethan laughed.
"If you're so in love with him, talk to him!" He grinned at her.
"I can't. He's too cute," She said.
"Well, I've got to run. I have English next period and I like to get a back row seat," He left, so Piper took this as her cue to walk and talk to Drew.
"Who's the guy?" Piper asked, wiggling her eyebrows. Drew blushed. Piper laughed.
"It's just this guy named Braden Godwin," Drew said.
"I think I have history with him," I said.
"Will you talk to him for me?" Drew said, puppy eyes and all.
"Okay," I said, and we walked to Math.
