HEY GUYS :D Long time no see eh? I know I know, I shoulda updated earlier but I've been busy keeping up with school -_-' BUT. I have a two week break coming up so I'll be able to write up a few more chapters then! I know I promised three more chapters next time I updated but I have the next one already halfway through C:

One thing though, I will be off on a grand journey with my friends for the first week of my 2 week break so I won't be updating anytime then since I can't bring my laptop (BOOHOO SOBSOB CRYCRY) which I know, is very tragic. :'C

BUT I still have a few days until I leave and I hope to get three chapters up :D

Agh darnit but I have two tests this week... ahh screw it you guys are more important C: I'm not gonna use any chemistry formulas or add any info about canada's freakishly boring history in this story -_-'

Enjoy C:

I find that painkillers don't really work on me. I mean I guess they can dull the pain a bit but I still felt all the aches when I woke. My face was sore from being in a grimace in my unconscious state and I moaned.

"Percy?" a voice said, but it was distant and muffled.

I coughed and slowly opened my eyes, and immediately shock took me.

Everything was blurry. I blinked and it improved slightly, but I still couldn't make out the faces in front of me.

"Percy are you ok?" the same voice asked, louder this time yet still muffled.

I turned towards the voice and saw the blurry image of Annabeth. Blinking desperately, her image finally focused as I squinted at her.

"Hey, can you hear me Percy?" she asked, gently holding my face.

I let my head flop into her hand. I was still groggy from the operation and she smiled sadly at me as she went in and out of focus. I saw Jason slumped in a chair in the background. His head rested on his chest and his broken leg, now bound tightly in a proper cast, was stuck out, threatening to trip anyone who walked into the room. Crutches were leaned against the wall and I saw that a new pair of forearm crutches where there for me. I had a feeling that the ones Chiron had given me were somewhere on the highway and most likely shrapnel.

I looked back at Annabeth's face and saw that tears streamed silently down her cheeks. My eyebrows knit together and I lifted a weak, shaking hand to wipe them away.

"D-don't cry," I said quietly because that's as loud as I could speak without having to breathe too deeply.

"I'm just s-so glad that you're alive," she said as her voice shook and she managed a smile.

I managed a breathy laugh that turn into a cough and smiled back, "I can't die yet."

"This is my fault," she said, sobbing.

"It most certainly is NOT," I told her firmly.

"But if I hadn't called out to you during the attack at camp you wouldn't have-"

"Annabeth, don't you DARE blame yourself for this," I told her, frustration was starting to build up inside me. Everyone always tried to blame themselves, "It isn't your fault ok?" I said softly, managing a small smile.

Jason snorted loudly and woke with a start. He looked around the room, seeming lost until he remembered where he was and what had happened. His gaze found me and Annabeth at my bed and he struggled to get up. Grabbing his crutches he hobbled his way over to us and sat down on a chair opposite to Annabeth.

"Glad to see you awake buddy," he said grinning.

"I'm glad that the two of you are ok."

"I'm glad that all three of you are ok," a man's voice said.

Simultaneously, we turned our gaze to the doorway where a doctor stood.

"Apollo?" I asked, unsure because I was used to seeing him around my age and not thirty. I sat up, using my bandaged arms to hold up my torso.

He grinned and tucked his clipboard under his arm as he made his way over to us and Annabeth furiously wiped away her tears.

"Indeed Percy. That was some crash you were in."

"Tell me about it," I said, rolling my eyes.

"Well I managed to get all the glass and shrapnel out of you," he continued and from his pocket he took out a small jar filled to the brim with small glass shards and bits of metal.

"That was inside me?" I asked, shocked.

"Yup. We had to double check like five times before we were absolutely sure there was none left."

I stared, dumbfounded that so much had gotten into my system and I swallowed uneasily.

"You ok Percy?" Annabeth asked, I turned and faced her.

"Y-yeah I'm fine."

I lowered my eyes from their gaze, not knowing what else to do as a moment of silence fell upon us, and I felt three sets of eyes on me. Immediately an uncomfortable, tight feeling settled in my chest. I forced out a cough to try and get rid of it but it only increased which started a small coughing fit.

"Percy?" she said uneasily, gingerly putting her hand on my shoulder.

Though it only lasted a few seconds it exhausted my lungs and left me wheezing and lightheaded. I swayed as my head reeled and I fell back into the pillows. The impact against the pillow sent pain throbbing through my tender, beaten skull. I noticed as I blinked groggily that my eyesight was getting blurry and out of focus again. The worried voices of my friends became distant and muffled and I panicked.

I tried the fight the dark, reddish hue that was seeping into the edges of my eyesight but it was too much as the throbbing in my head became too much and I succumbed to the darkness.

"I'm sorry..." I whispered.

:O OMFG WHAT HAPPENED? DID HE DIE? Muahahaaaa...
