As I was sitting on the couch with Sally, I decided I wanted to know the story of her and Poseidon.
"I want to know Sally."
She nodded she knew the what I was talking about.
"I was on the beach one day, and I saw him there, he seemed to be as sad as I felt."
She seemed to be in a different world.
"So, I sat with him we started to talk. I told him about my family, he told me about how dysfunctional his family was, his father is a nightmare, and he and his brothers never seem to settle their differences." She didn't expand on that I think she felt it wasn't her story to tell.
"He made me laugh, and I think I lifted his spirits, and so I invited him to my cabin; the one I was staying at."
I knew it happened, but I still couldn't help but feel jealous.
"I was so surprised when he said he couldn't." So was I. What man in his right mind would turn away Sally Jackson?
"He told me he was married, and though he and his wife did not get along all the time, he wasn't going to break his oath." I was shocked; I never thought he would be married.
She chuckled, "I was surprised that he would tell me that he was married, but I was glad, he looked so determined to make things work so instead we just spent the night talking. We spent so much time together, taking about fun things, both avoiding our problem's, but that's when I asked him where his wife was."
I was wondering this myself.
"He told me how she lived in the house he built, and whenever they had an argument she would demand he leave reminding him of his past mistakes."
I still didn't like him.
"Oh Paul he never lied to me, he was honest with his mistakes, and I knew he would never leave his wife, but I had fallen for him, so one night he told me he should leave because we both knew the way we felt, and I thought if I could have this one night; I would take it"
That hurt, but I understood, Sally would always follow her heart and I believe that she did love him, and I know he must have loved her. I mean it's impossible not to fall for her.
"Then one night turned, into two, and he never left we spent the summer together. I then realized that I was pregnant, I didn't tell him, one night on the beach he asked me to spend forever with him."
She said it so wistfully as if it was truly forever. But what really got me was he abandoned her after learning she was pregnant. Even though he had another son.
"That's when I really understood what was happening, I couldn't let him leave his family, because I knew deep down he loved them. I told him no and that summer was all we could have, I think he may have known I was pregnant, I'm not sure he told me about a summer camp once, but he did leave and return to his family."
So she had left him. I guess that makes sense and explains why Poseidon never returned; he didn't think he was wanted.
"When Percy was twelve they met. I wasn't there, he found out about him through the camp, and they have gotten closer over the years. I have always supported their relationship, but Percy and Poseidon have their own lives and I have you. I will let them sort it out it's what they both want."
My heart stopped when she said she had me. I knew no matter what happened between Sally and Poseidon didn't matter. I loved her and she loved me.
I was glad that Percy had his father in his life, but that wouldn't stop me from loving Percy like my own, he was as much a part of my new family as Sally was.
i hope this chapter is liked by everyone
i tired to do it in away that Sally wasn't lying but wasn't telling the whole truth the next chapter will be the big reveal and it also includes the reasons Percy and Sally didn't tell Paul the truth right away
