Chapter 4
Annabeth had heard of people fainting from traumatic stress, but Percy seemed too strong for that. In her mind, he was the type of guy who saved girls when they fainted.
The stoplight turned green. She continued driving worriedly, sneaking glances at Percy every chance she got. She didn't know what to do with him. She hadn't known what to do with him even before he had gone out. Now it was even harder to choose what to do.
Then Annabeth had a brilliant idea-she would call her best friend Thalia and consult her! Thalia had always said that Annabeth could call her if she had a dead body to hide. Why was an unconscious famous person's body any different?
"Sup...Wait is that you, Annabeth?" Thalia answered the phone on the first ring.
"Yeah. I have a problem." Annabeth didn't exactly know how to describe her dilemma.
"Whose dead body do you need me to hide?" was her immediate response.
Annabeth laughed. "No one's...yet."
"You need me to kill someone?" Thalia was a very violent person.
"Um...no. But I have the lead singer of Percy Jackson and Crew, otherwise known as Percy Jackson, in the passenger seat of my car. And he's passed out. And his mom died. And he quit the band. And I don't-"
Thalia interrupted her. "You have PERCY JACKSON in your car? Come to my house right now!"
"But I don't know what to do with him. Can you just help me?" Annabeth turned onto the exit that led to her house.
"Okay. Come to my house. I have a spare bedroom where we can take care of him." Thalia cackled evilly.
Annabeth laughed nervously. "I'll be right over."
As she turned the corner onto Thalia's street, she whispered to Percy.
"It's alright. You're going to be fine."
Then she stopped the car, and got out. She rang Thalia's doorbell, and luckily, Thalia opened it. "Welcome to my humble adobe!" she greeted Annabeth.
Annabeth smiled. "I have him in the front. Let's carry him in."
They walked to the car, and lifted Percy up. It was a struggle, but they managed to get him into the spare bedroom eventually.
"I'll go get some water to wake him up. You stay here," Thalia instructed Annabeth.
Annabeth kneeled next to the sleeping figure. "Percy, you'll be okay, right?" She ran her fingers through his hair. "You have to promise me you'll be okay."
She looked at him, and, as if struck by some impulse, leaned down to kiss him.
But at that moment, Thalia walked in.
"What on Earth are you doing?"
