hey guys! hope u like this one!
Ch.15
Percy POV:
Way to reopen closed wounds. I was shocked when the judge called me up to the stands and now she was asking me to talk about one of the biggest regrets of my life? "Um-" I gulp. "Yes, Annabeth had just left me not long ago and I wasn't taking it okay. I just exploded with anger as I saw them kissing on the wall right before I walked in and I- well, I got into a fistfight with Eric." I say trying to forget that night. "Okay, now the day he came and threatened you at your work you called and told her what he had done to you?" she asks me. "Yes, He came and threatened me. I told him to back off and he stormed off like a child. I called her and she didn't believe me but later that night she came over to my apartment to apologize because Eric had finally admitted he did it." I say trying to make him look bad.
"Thank-you, , but stated that spent the night at your apartment. And-" She tries to say but I cut her off. "Your honor, nothing like that happened that night." I say trying to keep my cool. " , you may to take your seat." she says sounding annoyed. As I leave I give Annabeth a nod telling her to fight and not to settle for anything less.
Annabeth POV:
" , do you think you would be the right parent to give custody to?" the judge asks me. "Yes, I do." I say back to her firmly. I look over and see that Eric looks defeated. I have been fighting and fighting for Lydia and I finally think he is burnt out. " , do you think you are the right parent to give custody to?" she asks him. He doesn't answer right away as he has been doing. He sighs. "No...I think Lydia would live a better life with Annabeth than she would with me. She needs her mother." After he says this the whole room goes silent. The judge taps her gavel on the podium and then speaks. "Custody will be placed with Annabeth Chase and Eric Lancaster will get one weekend every month." she says. Lydia gets up from the seat next to Piper and Jason and runs to me. I pick her up and swing her around. I can't believe that Eric actually agreed to give me custody.
When we finally leave court I see Percy outside and walk over to him. "I knew you could do it, Wise Girl." He says. He tries his hardest to stand up to kiss me but I tell him its okay and bend down instead. "So, how are you feeling?" I ask. "Well, I feel like I just got into a car crash but other than that I feel fine." he replies. "MOMMY! CAN PERCY COME OVER FOR DINNER?" Lydia says as she comes running over to me. "Yeah, can he?" Percy says to me with a mischievous smile on his face. "Of course he can." I say as I kiss him. I can only think that tonight will be one interesting night.
Wonder what will happen😏 *evil laugh* BTW I have no actual experience in court so a custody battle in real life probably doesn't actually happen as it did in my story.😂
