Happy Easter!
Thanks so so much guys! 250 reviews? I love u all!
40 reviews for the last chap!(if I try putting more exclamation marks my computer will explode..hehe)
Here is the update you have all been waiting for. Sorry for taking long, March is a busy month fr me as I have typed before. Some of you have asked me to make Percy's injury less serious. Sorry, I had never meant for him to get that hurt but I was reading the Hunger Games at the time, so don't judge me. The worst that will happen is he'll miss school up to Wednesday and a bit more drama…
I hope I can get the mood back up with this chapter, I find it funny…it's kind of a filler
Got it? Good, now read this disclaimer…I am not sure if it makes that much sense though…
Disclaimer: What you doin? I'm reading a disclaimer! For who? Oh, it just says that vickydd doesn't own PJO. She doesn't?! No, why? She told me she did. No, she probably told you she didn't. How do you know? She's writing this. Oh…
Chapter 14: Deal, Seaweed Brain
Annabeth POV
I was about to wrap up Percy's shin when I heard yelling.
"Percy! Annabeth! Can you hear me!" it was Sally.
"Ma'm, they might be asleep or hurt." said another voice, a manly one. I shook Percy's shoulder. As I touched him I felt the abnormal heat of his tan skin that looked somehow kind of pale and dull. He's sick. I called out. The lack of water and food made my throat sore and my voice hoarse and not very loud.
Thankfully, they heard us.
"Annabeth? Is that is you? Is Percy ok?" Paul's voice yelled, they sounded close.
Percy awoke at his name. "Huh?"
"We're over here Paul!" I yelled than looked down at Percy, who was no longer smiling.
"Your parents found us, what's the matter?" I asked him. He looked like he swallowed something nasty.
"Nothing, I just don't feel that good." After he said that he tried to sit up. Before I could stop him, he sat up and became lightheaded. I heard branches snapping to my left and looked up. Sally, Paul, Coral, Zack, and a park patroller (I forgot what they're called, sorry) came into view.
"Hey," I said and heard something fall. I looked down.
Percy was unconscious, blood spilling from his nose. His eyes rolled up into his head, only showing the whites.
-I'm just a Line Break, don't mind me…-
Percy POV
I opened my eyes. Lights filled my vision, it was too bright, too much light and all of it too white. I blinked and tried to rub my eyes.
Keyword: tried. As I lifted up one of my arms I felt something pull on my skin.
I got a better look at my surroundings; I was in a hospital room. A little beeping in the background that was probably my heart rate and uncomfortable needles stuck in my arm. The room was empty, as far as my blind eyes could see in the sharp light that made me dizzy.
There was an AV was connected to my arm, I was wearing pajamas, and my mouth was as dry as a scorpion's nest. (Déjà vu much?) I looked around again. There was a window with shades, I could make out something though. The shadow of a girl,(you can tell the difference between a girl and a guy, I promise) her grey eyes peeping through the shades. Annabeth saw me.
She left the window and entered the room. When I saw her now wrapped up cuts and her slightly red eyes, I remembered what happened. Camping, walking, swimming, swinging, tripping, saying I love you , passing out—wait a sec! I told Annabeth I loved her!… and then I fell asleep… Wow, does getting your back ripped to shreds and confessing your love really take that much energy?
She entered quietly and looked at me with worried eyes.
"What's up?" she said and came to stand next to me. She put one hand on my arm.
"The sky. What's down?" I said with a light smile. My voice sounded pretty messed up and hoarse. She smiled and went along with it.
"The ground Seaweed Brain, what's right?" she asked and I thought for a second, a grin spread on my face.
"You are." I said. Her face went from confusion, to understanding, sincere smiling.
"Are you okay?" she asked, her face went back to worried.
"Yeah, what happened? I'm probably not here because of a couple cuts, am I?" I asked. She shook her head.
"No, here, let me call your mom, and the doctor. He'll be able to explain it better. Sally and Coral have been worried sick." She pecked my cheek, and left before I could say anything else.
Awhile later, she came back with my family and a doctor in his 40s. My mom, being herself, ambushed me in a hug and Coral came up and hugged my arm. Paul had his hand on my mom's shoulder and Zack also gave me a bear hug. Then Zack hid behind my mom's leg.
After the usual greetings, (Are you okay? What happened? Do you need anything?) the doctor cleared his throat.
"What's up, Doc?" I cracked a smile. Mom and Annabeth gave me a look, Coral, Zack, Paul, and the Doc smiled.
"Well, nothing much. There seemed to be some infection in your back but we cleared that all up. The real problem is you're shin. It came into contact with a type of poisonous caterpillar that sometimes leads to death. How did you make the cut?" he asked. The others looked at me expectantly, even Annabeth.
"Uh, well, when me and Annabeth-"
"Annabeth and I." corrected Annabeth. I gave her a mock glare and continued. Really? I'm in a hospital for crying out loud! No time for grammar corrections!
"Yeah, when Annabeth and I tripped down the slope, since somebody pulled on me," I gave Annabeth a pointed look, "I kinda tried to avoid a fallen tree trunk that Annabeth would end up hitting so I swerved us out of the way. My shin ended up colliding and scratching on a barky root." Everyone winced as I said this, "That's probably where the caterpillar was, right Doc?"
The doctor nodded and gazed out into space for a while, writing notes.
"What day is it?" I asked my mom quietly.
"Tuesday, we're back in New York." She answered. The doctor then cleared his throat and looked back up at me.
"Well, your leg is fine now but we'll be keeping you until tomorrow. Your mother can arrange someone to bring you your make up work from school, and then you'll be free tomorrow, ok?"
We got everything sorted out and eventually me and Annabeth were left alone in the room. She looked like she lost some sleep, and there were stitches in her arm. I used my free arm to feel my back gently. Stitches. I winced and Annabeth must've noticed because she came up to me and took my hand.
"Are you ok? Do you need anything?"
"No, I'm fine..look Annabeth, I'm sorry for getting us into this mess. If it weren't for me we wouldn't have gotten hurt," I lifted up my free arm and gently caressed her arm, "and I'm sorry."
"Percy, it's not your fault-"
"Yes, it is Annabeth! I asked to go on a walk! I tripped and made us get lost! I tripped, again, got us hurt-"
I would've kept blaming myself if it weren't for the fact that Annabeth kissed me, effectively shutting me up. She pulled away and looked into my eyes.
"Shut up." All I could do is nod. Her eyes were mesmerizing, a storm of silver blue gorgeousness.
"Percy, it wasn't your fault. And…and if you hadn't tripped, again," she added with a smile but then came back to her sincere expression,"then I would've never been able to do this." She wrapped her hand through my fingers and kissed me softly.
When she pulled away I looked into her eyes smiling faintly, "I love you."
"I love you too Percy." She sighed happily and laid her head on my chest. (I hope that was kind of original way of saying I love you… let me know please*pouts*)
"Uh, Annabeth? Should we tell my parents?" I asked. She cracked a smile and looked up at me.
"Only you Seaweed Brain. Let's see how long we can go without anyone finding out, my bets that it'll be your fault." She smirked.
"Well Wise Girl, if you're the one who spills than I get one wish and if it's me you get one."
"You've got yourself a deal Seaweed Brain."

Annabeth POV
When we got home, Wednesday afternoon, I helped Percy to his room. He could walk but he claims that nothing hurts when I'm around. I told him he should get some wine for that cheese although my heart was fluttering at the time.
He laid down on his bed after dropping his bags on the floor, and pulled me down with him. I fell on the bed and he wrapped his arm round me.
"Seaweed Brain!" I protested.
"Wise Girl!" he mimicked. I scowled.
"Let me go, I have to go get your homework." I told him, leaning on his chest, my hair a curtain. He pulled me down and kissed me.
"I don't want to do homework, Annie!" he murmured on my lips. I bit his bottom lip.
"Don't call me Annie!" I tried to pull away but he got on top.
He looked at me with puppy dog eyes. I scowled, crossing my arms over my chest.
"Please…" I shook my head. He started kissing my exposed neck. It took all my self-restraint not to moan and melt with pleasure. When I was about to give in, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get that!" I jumped out of bed and ran downstairs, leaving a longing Percy behind.
I opened the door to find 8 people arguing. Thalia, Nico, Katie, Clarisse, the Stolls, Chris, and Grover .
"Percy's fine! Annabeth called me yesterday!" Thalia said.
"Still! We should check up on th-" Grover stopped when he noticed the door was open.
"Annabeth! How's Percy?" Katie asked and before I could stop them they pushed past me and went upstairs, even Clarisse.
I followed them after shutting the door. They were all ambushing Percy by the time I got up there. Clarisse punched his arm lightly for giving them a scare 'Prissy'. That's when Thalia decided to speak up.
"Uh, Percy? Why is there lip gloss on your lips?" Percy's and my face became red. Percy was stuttering trying to come up with an answer.
Uh, oh… Think Annabeth think!
"It's chap stick! I told Percy to use it because his lips looked really dry." I said quickly. Thalia looked from him to me.
"And why do you care that his lips are dry?" she asked, smirking.
"Uh, well-"
"I was licking my lips cause they were dry and she let me use her chap stick." Percy saved me. Thalia didn't look convinced, the others were either smirking or looking at our blushing faces in confusion. That's when Coral burst into the room.
"Are you guys hungry? Mom told me to ask. She said you could eat up here with Perce—oh, hey…" she stopped her rambling and noticed the others. Then she turned to me with a 'what are they doing here' look. I shrugged.
The others said hi to Coral and then it kinda got into a awkward silence.
"Well, anyway…If you're hungry, come downstairs." With that she left the room in a hurry.
"Wanna eat some popcorn and watch a movie?" offered Connor.
"Sorry, Percy and I cant, since he refuses to do his homework without certain persuasion." Percy glared at me.
"No, it's fine. We can watch a movie." Said Percy daring me to object. I sent him my best glare and didn't object. The others watched the showdown with interest.
"Fine, but I pick the movie, and no Nico we are not watching Scream. You guys choose, Titanic, the Avengers, or Grown Ups?"I asked. After a bit of arguing we decided on Grown Ups.
In the middle of the movie we had a bathroom break, and Percy pulled me to my room.
"What are you doing?" I asked. He answered my question, kind of… when my lips were finally free, he looked down at me, our foreheads touching.
"Sorry, I had to do that. Did you know that you look absolutely adorable when you laugh?" he said. I blushed.
"Uh, I don't watch myself laugh in the mirror Seaweed Brain. Do you?" I teased.
"No, but we should get back, don't you think they'll be wondering where we are."
"What if I don't care?"
"You wouldn't want to lose that bet of our so easily, now would you Wise Girl?"
"If it means I can do this," I kissed him seductively on the neck, "than maybe I do."
He shivered at the kiss but pulled away, "Well, I do so don't go giving me any hickeys."
I blushed and he left the room smiling in triumph.
That Seaweed Brain.

Important AN: I have received 250 alllllll good reviews. No flames and I never said they weren't allowed. Do you know how happy that makes me feel? I literally want to cry because of it.
Another thing, most of my reviewers have told me that they like my writing style. They like it because it 'is emotional'. Here is the thing people! Answer me this in Reviews please:
1. I like to keep things simple right? I almost never use too large vocabulary if you know what I mean. I find that this gives things more effect. I use big words but I use them simply. I feel like I write like a 5 year old sometimes, but sometimes that's just BETTER. Review your opinion!
2. Look, you know how Annabeth was like Percy Loves me a billion times? Well, when a girl who has never fallen in love before, does, they will be pretty OOC. Wouldn't you? Girl or Boy? Review your response.
Anyways, thx people, I truly love u guys.
