Chapter 3: Moving Back Home

The most embarrassing thing a person ever has to do is moving back in with your mother. I left my bags in the car, so I could ease my mom and Paul into the idea that I would need to move in with them. I walked up the steps of my mother`s apartment, and rang the door dell labeled: "Jackson". After about 5 minutes I heard someone heading down the stairs. My mom answered the door and hugged me tightly.

"Oh Percy! I`m so happy to see you!" She said. Then looked at me again then asked "What happened? Something is wrong. I can tell."

My mom invited me inside and then I told her all about what happened with Annabeth and Clarisse.

"And then Annabeth said she never wanted to see me again and threw my clothes at me. I tried to tell her again that Clarisse was lying and she just called me liar. I don't know what to do. She won't believe me! But I can't let her go, I love her."

"Aww!" My mom caressed my hand. "It seems to me if you want her back. You got to convince Clarisse to tell the truth."

"But how am I going to do that?"

"Well you said she only was doing this to get her ex-boyfriend jealous. Maybe she`ll tell Annabeth the truth if you guys aren't around her Ex."

"That's genius!" Percy stands up and kisses his mom good bye. "Thanks mom. I`m gana go find Clarisse."

I drove own to the coffee shop I figured Clarisse`s ex must know where she lived. I walked in and immediately saw him mopping the floors. I walked over to him.

"Dude, I need to talk to you."

"I`m listening."

"Where does Clarisse live? I need to talk to her."

"I thought you were her boyfriend shouldn't you know already?" He replied.

"I`m not her boyfriend!" I yelled. "She just said that to get you jealous."

"She wanted to get me jealous. That's so cute!"

"Yeah. It's adorable. Now can you help me out! My actual girlfriend thinks I'm a liar and a cheater because of her. I have to convince Clarisse to tell her the truth or my girlfriend is never gana forgive me."

"Alright relax dude. She lives in Sunnyside in Queens at one Van Dam Street."

"Thank you."
