Don't Cry

Chapter 2:

Don't get me wrong, I loved my parents but I felt they could get a little too over protective. I thought it was unnessacary that we had to have The Talk, just because we've gone skinny dipping. And, as far as they knew, this had been the first time. My dad was pacing and running his hands through his hair furiously, my mom stood there glaring at nothing in particular. We were in a room in the Big House and I had the paranoid feeling that we were being overheard.

"I-how did this happen?" dad demanded. "My sweet, innocent little daughter with her golden curls was getting naked with a boy?"

"You're making it sound worse than it really is." I mummbled.

I looked at mom for help but her lips were pressed in a tight line and she wouldn't meet my eyes. It had always been hard for her to resist them, they were dads, the same thing with Jessie and daddy.

"Oh, Annabeth, you hear that? It isn't as bad as it sounds." he said, he was on the verge of hysteria.

"Percy," mom said. "Calm down a bit, baby." She then procedded to wrap her arms around his neck and kiss him. She murmmered something in his ear and I was pretty sure I knew what she was saying.

"What do you think she's whispering?" Leo asked, leaning into me.

"She's promising sex." I breathed with absolute certainty.

He recoiled a bit, he had always been sensitive in the forbidden lady parts department. I smirked a bit at the joke but I also felt myself sadden, I had always had this tiny bit of hope for us. He looked at me, his eyes traveling southward from my face, he reddened and removed his eyes from my chest. I was surprised, he had never taken any interest in my boobs or anything. Sure, hes had girlfriends before but I knew for a fact that he had never reached second base, no matter how willing the girl was.

I grabbed his hand and moved it to my thigh then held it there. He stared at our interlaced fingers, I realized with a start that we had left "just friends" territory. It didn't matter how much willpower I had, I couldn't bring myself to release him.

I looked up and noticed my parents were watching us with narrowed eyes. My dad glanced at my mom who gave him a meaningful look, he huffed. "I'm still giving them The Talk" he said stubbornly.

She sighed and rolled her eyes at me, now she was on my side. "Oh gods." I muttered to myself.

"Well, uh, when two people love each other, they, uh, have sex."

My mom face-palmed herself and said, "If we have to do this, then let me."

"Thank you." he breathed.

"Okay, well when two people love each other, they do the most intimate thing two people can do together."

"Or more people for that matter." dad added.

"Thank you, Percy." mom said forcibly. "As I was saying, most people wait until marriage, that way you can be safe from diseases and it's just more special. But if you do end up having sex, make sure you're safe. Condoms. Jamie, I already know you're on the pill."

I felt my face burn and I looked down at my moms legs, I always wished I had her legs. She wasn't supposed to know about the pills, I wonder when she found out. I've been using it since I turned 15, 'cause you never know.

"Maybe you shouldn't be such a hypocrite." I pointed out heatedly.

"Excuse me?"

"Well, let's look at the facts." I jumped up, pulling Leo with me, and started pacing, much like dad had. "You were 17 when you had me. You obviously had unsafe sex. Oh, and I know you had sex before that too, by the way." I turned to dad. "Way to go down on her without using a condom, daddy. It must have been long and sweaty 'cause you had twins."

They both stared at me in amazement, I had always been so innocent in their eyes. They didn't know that I had come very close to losing my virginity,that I've already given someone a blowjob, that I have woken up multiple times in strange places with a hangover. Let's face it, I was never a good girl, but they didn't need to know that.

"Jamie," my mom said, her voice was so filled with hurt that it practically broke my heart.

"I'm sorry." I whispered. "I, uh, I have to go."

I released the hold I had on the man I loved and walked out, because in some instances, walking away is the wisest choice. And that's me, always wise.
