New chapter. Yay. Chapter 2. I'm so proud that I got this far. I promised myself I wouldn't cry. Jk I never, and I mean never cry. When I watched if I stay I was the only person in the movie theater not crying. The only movie and/or book I cried at was marly and me. Ok back to the story.
~Annabeth~
What was I going to do? My family died on my birthday. And I had no aunts or uncles to take me in. All my grandparents died a long time ago.
Right now I was crying on the ground with Percy. My book hugged agents my body.
"Are you Annabeth Chase?" A deep voice said. A rough hand touched my back.
I sniffed, wiped my nose, looked at the man, and nodded. "Yes I am."
"It's time to go." He said.
"Go wear?"
"You're being shipped off to an orphanage."
"An orphanage? But she's seventeen." Percy said.
"Yes she's not technically an adult and she has no legal guardians."
"She can stay with me."
"I'm sorry I can't do that."
"What if my mom adopts her?"
"Well she'll have to come to the orphanage and adapt her. But we don't have the papers yet for another couple months."
"Wear is the orphanage?"
"San Fransisco."
"NO! You can't take her away from me!" He shouted. We were standing now and the man who was suppose to take me away held on to one arm and Percy had my other arm.
"Percy." I pulled away from his grip. "It's ok. No one will adopt me. When I'm eighteen I'll come back for you. I promise."
"That's a year from now. I can't loose you. Not for a year." I saw a tear make its way down his face.
I pulled away from the mans grip on my arm.
"I'll be fine. I love you." I gave him a kiss. Hopefully not the last kiss.
When we pulled away I didn't saw anything. I just walked away.
I hoped into the back seat of a black car with tinted windows.
I watched Percy was we drove off, till I couldn't see him any more.
When he was out of view I opened my journal. And I read.
Today was my first date with Percy.
Dad wasn't to happy that his little girl was going on a date but he sucked it up and let me go anyways. He told Percy to move me back by ten.
We went to the movies. The movie sucked but it was fun watching Percy mocking the bad jokes.
Then we went out for ice cream at Dairy Queen. I kinda accidentally flicked some of my blizzard at Percy. We ended up with ice cream all over us. After that we cleaned our selfs up.
Mostly.
Then we went for a walk.
When we got back to my house it was 10:01. Dad almost killed Percy. Even though we were a minute late.
I got grounded for a week for coming back with ice cream all over me. But it was totally worth it.
The only reason Percy is alive today is because mom helped me pry dad off Percy.
Thanks mom.
I read that over and over again. I flipped through the book looking for a picture.
It was a picture of me and Percy kissing underwater.
His dad, Poseidon, owns a ton of pools and stuff. He closed on for the dad for us. We asked Percy's mom to take a picture of us kissing under water with a water proof camera.
I stared at it till we got to the air port.
"Ok Ms. Chase when you land in San Fransisco their will be a man with a sign for you." The driver said.
"Ok." I said.
"Hear is your ticket."
"Thanks."
I walked into the airport.
After security check I got on my plane.
I was in seat A14. At least they were generous enough to give me fist class.
I spent most my time on the flight reading my journal. The rest I just stared out the window.
*Percy*
Annabeth is gone. I'm not going to see her for a year, at least.
All I know is that she's in an orphanage in San Francisco. I don't know which one.
I don't know if she'll be shipped off to another one.
I just want to see her.
To hold her.
To kiss her.
To love her.
Why did this happen? She just lost her entire family and now they're taking her away from the only loved one she has left.
After I watched her leave I ran home.
I told my mom what happened.
"Percy, it's ok." My mom reassured me.
"No it's not. She's gone mom." I said. "I'm never going I see her again."
"Yes you are. Tomorrow we're going to fly out to San Francisco and see her."
"I don't even know which orphanage she's in."
"Then we're going to go to every orphanage and foster home we see and check if she's their."
"Thanks mom." She gave me a hug.
"Your going. To see her tomorrow. I promise." She said. I tried my best to smile but it probably looked like I had poop. But I didn't care.
The next day
I woke up thinking everything that happened yesterday was a dream.
But it wasn't. It was reality. I packed my cloths. I didn't know how long I was going to be their so I just packed for a week.
"Ready mom?" I asked. I was really excited to see Annabeth. I was also scared. One reason is because I didn't know if I was going to find her or not the other is because I was of flying. But it's mostly the first reason.
"Yea. Let's go."
When we landed in San Fransisco mom and I rented a car.
I used Siri to try and find all the orphanages and foster homes in San Fransisco. It didn't work out well.
It thought I was asking for the nearest adoption service in San Diego. I don't even know how that happened. So I just decided to google it.
We drove to every foster home and orphanage. I was about to give up hope when we pulled up to our last orphanage.
~Annabeth~
I've only been hear a day and I'm already miserable. I get treated like shit. I get barely any food and water, I have five minutes to shower, I share a row with about twenty other teenage girls, who I'm the oldest and they hate me for that, it's not my fault I'm older, I have to wear uniforms, a grey skirt, a white blouse, a navy blue blazer, and a red tie, and I'm treated horribly. I feel like I'm in Annie. Only five years older and with no music.
We have to get up, be dressed, and have out beds made by six in the morning. We weren't suppose to have anything other than the stuff they give us but I keep my journal under my pillow. Late at night I read it in the bathroom.
My second day was almost over. I was folding laundry when someone said I had a visitor. How is that possible? I didn't know anyone hear.
I walked into an office. They said I had five minutes then I had to get back to my manual labor. I sat down and waited for someone to come in the small room. Finally two people did. A boy with jet black hair and sea green eyes and his mom.
"Percy?" I asked.
"Annabeth." He breathed. I walked to him and hugged him like my life depended on it.
"Sally." I said. Sally was Percy's mom. I hugged her too.
"What are you doing hear?" I asked.
"I needed to be with you." Percy answered.
"You mean you came all the way across the country to see me?" He nodded. "Thank you so much. But you can't stay hear."
"I will move hear till you get out of hear and visit you every day if I have to. I can't be away from you."
I was about to say something but I was cut off when someone said my five minutes were up.
"Bye Percy." I said.
"No! Please stay." He begged.
"I can't Percy. I have to go." I left the room.
Oh this story is so sad. But I love writing it. Hopefully this story isn't alway this sad. Maybe. I don't know.
