Ch.14

Percy POV:

I hate this. I hate this so much. I am stuck in a hospital getting tested and wheeled off to a new room every second. I can't help but scream for Annabeth every time I get something painful done to me. They try to calm me down but it doesn't work. I know she can't be with me every second of the day but I still long for her.

"Okay, I have good news for you. We will get you all bandaged up and you can finally leave." a doctor says to me as they come into my room or what I like to say, prison. " You're kidding." I say in a smart voice. "No, I am not. Now, do you want to waste time or would you like to get this over with?" he says to me. I don't say anything. I want to get out of here.

Annabeth POV:

Today was the day. The day me and Eric's divorce would be official and the court would decide who gets Lydia. I said so many prayers to my mother this morning I ran out of breath. I also put aside my hatred for Hera and asked her to please help me gain custody of my daughter dispite our long lasting hatred for each other.

When I get to court I see that my dad and stepmom are there. Not only them but Jason, Piper, Leo, Frank, Hazel, and Grover are there also. I have dreaded this day for so long. What seems like forever later the judge calls Eric and I up to the stand.

" I understand you and have two different stories as to why you filed the divorce." the judge says. "Yes, your honor. We hadn't been getting along lately. Someone from my past had made his way back into my life. I told him to keep it on a business level when he and his fiance' came into my office to get plans for their new house started. That same night I told Eric that he had come into my office earlier that day. He got angry and told me he would take care of it but I told him not to. The next day that someone stopped by my work to drop of some paperwork and I wasn't there yet. Eric did not listen to me and went and beat up this someone. His name is Percy Jackson. When I arrived at my office I found Percy on the ground bleeding. I took him inside and helped him. I asked him what happened and he lied to me and said he slipped on ice. It was winter at this time. So then he also canceled his plans for his house and we didn't talk for a while. One night I got called into the office and no one else could watch Lydia. So I asked Percy. He and his fiance' had recently broken up. At this time Eric was in California on a business trip. When Eric got home he found out about Percy watching our daughter so he decided to "take care of the situation." Percy is a teacher at Goode High, so after school let out Eric met him in the parking lot and threatened Percy that if he didn't stay away from his family he would do something worse to him. Well, after this happened I got a call from Percy. He told me about all that Eric had done. I didn't believe him. So, later that I asked Eric if he had actually done these things and he admitted to it. I immediately left the house and went to apologize to Percy for not believing him." I say hoping she believes I am telling the truth. "Okay. But why isn't here today?" she asks me. "He has recently been in a car crash and is hospitalized as of now." I say tearing up. "Okay, thank-you. Now, ?" "Yes, your honor. So Annabeth told me that this Percy Jackson had come to her office. I immediately got angry. This guy attacked me on the night of senior prom because he couldn't get over the fact that Annabeth dumped him. This guy was not going to get near my family. So I went and I punched some sense into him. Then he didn't listen and he got friendly with my daughter! I went to tell him one last time to stay away but this time he told Annabeth. She questioned me that night and I told her that yes I did but it was for our family. She yelled at me then left the house to go get cuddly with Percy! She didn't come back until the next day!" Eric yells. " there is no reason to yell." "Your honor, I think that the fact that went and threatened and assulted him there is no reason for this violent man to have custody of Lydia. Also should file a restraining order against Mr. Lancaster." my lawyer says. "Yes, you do have a point-" "That doesn't say anything! LEFT her daughter just to go sleep with another man! If we place Lydia with her who knows that she won't just leave her daughter in the care of someone else to do something like get drunk or go sleep with other men!" Eric's lawyer says. This makes me feel horrible. I had never realized until now how bad that makes me look. "I-" I am cut off by the sound of someone entering the room. It is Percy and Sally. Sally is pushing Percy in a wheelchair. He gives me a smile and a thumbs up and it gives me a boost of confidence. " would that happen to be Mr. Jackson?" the judge asks me. "Yes." I say.

"Um. ? Could you come up here please?" Sally then wheels Percy up to the seat next to the judge and then walks back to her seat. "So, I am sorry this is so sudden but says that on the night of Senior prom you attacked him?" she says to him but he just sits there dazed.
