AN:CHEERS TO THE FREAKIN' WEEKEND! I'LL DRINK TO THAT, YEAEAHH!
This week was a good week.
First of all, THE PACKERS LOST! I WILL FOREVER LOVE THE GIANTS! Unless they go and pull a Saints move on the Vikings.
Second of all, THE SAINTS LOST! I WILL FOREVER LOVE THE 49ERS! Again, look at the statement above.
Third and foremost, I AM GOING TO MAYBE POSSIBLY HAVE STRAIGHT A'S FOR THE SEMESTER!
Now for the bad news, I have had soooooo much homework it's ridiculous! Our first semester ends next week, which means my first finals ever (Freshman here!), and it means I have to get done with the stuff I didn't feel like doing earlier in the year. Make up my second Map Test (which means memorizing almost all the oceans, major lakes and cities), and study my butt off for my Science test so I can keep my grade as an A-. Once I get all that done, I will have straight A's! Two tests in Science, a presentation and test in Spanish, two tests in AP Geo, test in Honors English, and a major test in Math. In other words, I'm screwing up my chance of having those straight A's just writing this. School sucks. Next update won't be until next Friday (no school that day!).
Review responses:
XOsweetPURPLEcandyOX: Wish granted! (:
ArtemisKey: Thanks! (: That would be a good idea! You should write that as a story! (:
Soonersgirl86: Good! You're paying attention! (: I did realize that when I wrote it. I already knew that he was going to be paralyzed in his arms too, since I'm basing this off of Jabs's recovery, and I just thought that 'I can't feel my legs and arms' didn't really flow! (; Haha, and great idea! I might use that. (;
Its just me: Thanks! (: I would, but it isn't very realistic. It could happen, but I'm not going to make this a miracle story and whatever. And, as I've said, I am basing this off of Jabs. (;
Alaskan Eskimo (nice name!) : Thank you! I love hockey! I've always wanted to visit Alaska! My dad is saving up money so we can go visit there! I want to go a lot of places in this world, but I am not made of money, sadly. ):
Riley Coyote: I LOVE FOOTBALL! Sometimes even more than Hockey! Hockey is pretty hard, especially with the skates. I used to Figure Skate, and then I tried to play Hockey outside with my brothers. Didn't turn out too well . . . Soccer is a lot like Hockey, just without the cold and the sticks. Rec Hockey would be a lot easier.
Everywhere I Go-CS: Thank you! Last I heard is that Jabs can move his arms (wink wink) which is supposedly impossible in his condition. I think he recently went out of the hospital to watch his team play or something. I am pretty sure Jenna is still in the hospital with no feeling in her legs. If you like their pages on Facebook, you could probably know more. (;
I apologize for the long note!
Disclaimer: I don't own Percy Jackson. I believe that I have said this too many times.
AAPOV (again).
I had been in the hospital for the past week. I never left Percy's side. I refused to. The only time I left was to go home and freshen up. My teachers understood my decision, so they sent me emails about my homework and I kept up with my classes via Skype. My dad and step-mom tried to make me leave, but they finally gave up after two hours of continuous arguing.
Sally stayed by me the entire time. Doctors came in and out to check on Percy every once in a while.
A lot of friends from school came, even some teachers. The hospital room was decked out in writing on the chalk board of get well wishes, and even at the foot of Percy's bed there was a table with trophies and pictures of him.
A news team came in to report on Percy's condition. At our school, there was a fundraiser to go to his medical expenses, which were horribly high.
"Oh my gosh! Percy! You have to see this!" Grover said, running in the room and tripping over the floor in the process.
"Don't hurt yourself, G-man!" Percy stated, laughing.
"Shh! Just watch this!" he said, shoving a lap top in our faces.
At the top of the screen, it said that we were on Youtube, watching a video called "Pray for Percy Jackson." Curious, I clicked play.
Immediately, my favorite song started playing. A Thousand Years by Christina Perri.
In the background, you could hear the news anchor announcing what had happened to Percy. There were multiple pictures of him, and the state that he's in now.
It showed a picture from school on a white board with the name 'Percy' and a bunch of 'Get Well' notes written around it.
The next picture blew my mind; there was a picture from Facebook with hundreds of people changing their profile pictures to a number 13, Percy's number, with 'Percy Jackson in Our Hearts' written in a circle around it.
"Oh my gosh," I whispered, with tears in my eyes.
The video continued on this way. By the end, I was bawling.
We read the thousands of comments. All of them, with the exception of a few, were sweet. Caring. Loving. Hopeful.
"See, Percy, a lot of people are looking up to you. There was a white out that went all over the world. Even a school in Germany did it. You have touched many lives," Grover said.
"Wow," he whispered.
"Percy," a nurse said coming in.
"Yes?" he asked.
"I'm sorry, but I am going to have to ask Grover and Annabeth to leave for awhile. You can come straight back. There's just a guest here who wants to speak to you privately," she said.
"Why?" I asked.
"That's more of a personal question. Please, just go down to the cafeteria. Sally is waiting for you. You guys can come right back up."
With many more protests, we finally agreed to go down.
We got to the cafeteria and saw Sally slowly sipping a coffee.
"Hey Sally," I said, making my way over to her table with Grover in my tracks.
"Hello, Annabeth, Grover," She said to us.
"What is all that up there about?" I asked her.
She stared at me for awhile. I have never felt uncomfortable with Sally before, but there's always a first to everything.
She finally said, "Ask Percy later," and then went back to her coffee.
Grover and I shared a look.
"Should we go get some Caribou?" he asked me.
"Sure," I said.
I went and got myself a hot chocolate, while Grover got an espresso.
When we went back, we all sat in an uncomfortable silence for awhile.
"Annabeth," Sally said.
"Yes?" I asked her.
"Annabeth, you need to go back to school," she told me.
"What! NO!" I just about shouted at her. People stared.
"Annabeth, I know you don't want to leave him, but you're already here more than I am. You need an education. Sure, you're smart enough, but you're missing out on your high school years. You need to stop worrying about Percy, and start worrying about yourself," she said softly to me.
I stared at her for awhile, and stayed silent.
Education was important to me. My mom was the smartest woman in the world, no joke. I never see her any more, since she's always so busy. I knew she would be disappointed in what I had been doing the past week.
"Fine," I finally said, sighing.
"Good," Sally smiled.
"But I'm still going to come here everyday right after school. And on weekends I'll be here all day. I don't care what you say about that, but it's my decision," I continued.
"I'm fine with that," she said with a grin spread across her face.
"Excuse me," Percy's nurse said.
"Hello," I smiled, "Can I see Percy now?"
"Yes, he's asking for you," she smiled at me, winked, then walked off.
"I'll be right back," I told Sally and Grover.
I walked up to Percy's floor then walked into his room.
"Hey," he said, when he heard me walking in.
"Hey yourself," I said, smiling, then walked over to give him a kiss.
He smiled back at me, but a hint of red in his eyes caught my attention. My eyebrows scrunched up in worry.
"Were you crying?" I asked him.
"Uh, no?" he said.
"You are a very bad liar," I told him. "Now tell me what's wrong."
"Nothing's wrong," he replied.
"Really?" I asked him.
"Really," he said.
"You know that trust is the most important thing in a relationship," I told him, not meeting his eyes.
"Fine," he said, sighing. "It's about the person who visited me."
"Who was it?"
"The player from Bade High. The one that sent me here."
AN: Cliffy, kind of. Review? Please? Pretty, pretty please with a cherry on top? (: I already have a general idea of how the next chapter is going to go, so maybe if you review I'll update by Sunday! (;
