AN: So, guys, I realized that I HAD to update today. You wanna know why?

. . . . . .

IT'S HOCKEY DAY MINNESOTA!

Watching Hockey Day Minnesota on FSN. Minnetonka is going against Duluth East. Go Duluth! I hate Tonka! Even though Tonka is up 9-3 . . .

Gopher game, then Wild later!

GO WILD! I would say go Gophers, but I'm not a University of Minnesota fan.

Anyways, today is also a day that Minnesota is dedicating to Jack Jablonski. They are offering donations for you to call in. I feel bad that Jenna hasn't been mentioned yet, but they should!

Anyways, a response to your reviews:

NiniC: You know it! Thanks! (:

Soonersgirl86: Well, now you don't have to! (:

Riley Coyote: Skating backwards is so much fun! It kills your legs, but it's fun! I don't know why, though, it just is!

Soccerfan48: HOCKEY IS AWESOME! And thanks(:

ArtemisKey: Thank you! And I wouldn't care. (:

Starskii: Umm . . . Not really anyone as of this point. My favorite team is the Vikings, obviously. They suck, but I've grown up as a fan of them my entire life. I just can't hate them! They're talking about leaving if they don't get a new stadium. If they leave . . . I swear I will kill MN's government because they didn't come up with a plan.

Packerfan12: Why thank you for your opinion! Packers suck. Packers should not have won. They will not win next year. You want to know why? First of all, like I said, they suck. Maybe not the bad football like my Vikings, but they suck cheese. Second of all, they have won way too much, and they just won last year. If they would have won again this year, I'm sure a lot of angry NFL teams would be after them. Or just some angry Minnesotans, which I personally think is way worse.

No named reviewer: Sure, I guess. I don't really care who wins at this point. As long as Packers and Saints are out, I'm good! No offense to all you haters!

Okay, and I think that's it! I don't care if you have flames about my teams or anything, but please don't hate the story because the person who wrote it doesn't like something you don't like!

Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson. As I have said . . .

APOV (no surprise there . . . )

"Wait, what?" I told him.

"It was the player that checked me," he stated simply.

"What did he say?" I asked.

"He apologized. He was in tears when he came here. He felt real bad," Percy said, choking up a little.

"Did you forgive him?" I asked.

"Of course. It wasn't his fault. He didn't mean for this to happen. He had a lot of guilt on him. And, anyways, he's our friend," he stated simply.

"What do you mean?" I asked him, confused.

"We know him," he said, not meeting my eyes.

"Who was it?"

He muttered something I didn't understand.

"Percy, who was it?" I repeated, a bit more harsh.

Again he muttered.

"WHO WAS IT?" I basically yelled.

"Nico," he hissed.

If I would have been drinking water, I would have done a spit take.

"When you say Nico, you don't mean . . . " I trailed off.

"Yes, I mean Nico," he said.

"I didn't know your cousin played for the Bengals," I said simply.

"Yeah, well, I didn't either. Can you believe it? Having your own cousin, who has been like a brother to you for all those years, smash half of your spinal cord," he said, laughing.

"No, I can't," I said laughing with him.

"Gosh, I can't believe how horrible he must be feeling," I said quietly.

"I can't either," he said, then he started laughing hard.

"What?" I asked him.

"You know what I said to him when he walked in? I told him that it was a good thing he checked me. He had a good excuse to avoid visiting me for a week. He would have been killed if it had been any other way," he said, silently laughing.

I laughed with him, "Well, then it's a good thing that your cousin just about killed you."

"Yes, it is," he said.

We sat there laughing for awhile. I have no idea why, maybe it was because we were tired and emotionally scarred.

About ten minutes later, Grover and Sally came walking in. Sally must have told Grover what was going on because Grover seemed to understand why we were dying of laughter, with tears in our eyes.

Nico ending up coming back later. To his surprise, he was greeted by hugs, laughter, and teases of how ironic it was that he, of all people, was the one to check his cousin into the hospital.

We stayed up almost all night just talking. When I woke up, I had my head rested on Percy's bed, Grover was laying on me, with Nico on top of him, and Sally had just came into the room with a tray of breakfast for all of us.

Grover, Nico, and Percy woke up not long after me. Grover had to go. He had 30 messages, 10 voicemails, and 100 missed calls from his parents and Juniper.

"I better go. They've probably called the missing persons place by now. See you later, Percy. Bye, Annabeth, see you at school tomorrow," Grover said before moving.

We all said our goodbyes, and I thought about how stupid it was for me to go to school tomorrow.

"Well," Nico stated, "I'm glad you forgive me, and this was fun and all that jazz, but I need to go meet up with Bianca and Hazel. We're planning on coming back here tomorrow. Annabeth, would you and Thalia like to meet up with us at our school?"

Hazel and Bianca were Nico's sisters. Oh, and did I happen to mention that Thalia was also Percy and Nico's cousin?

"Sure, I'd love that," I said to him, smiling. "I'll text Thalia that, too."

"Okay, great. Bye!" Nico said, walking out of the room.

"See you later," Percy said. "Oh, and Nico?"

Nico turned around.

"Don't you dare feel guilty about what you did. It was a complete accident," Percy stated.

Nico nodded slightly, then walked out of the room.

"I'm going to go get some more coffee. I'll be right back," Sally said walking out of the room.

"And then there were two," Percy said.

I laughed at him.

We sat there staring at each other for awhile.

"I wish I could grab your hand right now," Percy said.

I sighed, "I do too. More than you know."

I grabbed his hand.

"Annabeth, can you grab my other hand?" he asked me.

"Sure," I said, looking at him odd.

I grabbed his other hand. His face looked shocked.

"I can feel that," he muttered.

"You can feel that?" I looked at him, surprised.

"I can feel your hand," he said, smiling.

"Nurse!" I called.

Percy's nurse, Aria, came running in.

"What's wrong?" she asked, worried.

"Nothing's wrong!" I exclaimed. "Something's right! He can feel me holding his hand!"

Aria looked at Percy, and he nodded slightly, smiling.

"Dr. Ezra!" Aria called. (AN: PLL, anyone!)

Dr. Ezra came running in.

"What's the matter?" he asked, concerned. Sally must have heard us, since she came in looking concerned not long after. Paul must have gotten back from his teacher's meeting. He came in right after Sally. Paul was Percy's step dad.

"He can feel his arms!" I exclaimed.

Dr. Ezra's reaction was priceless. Sally's eyes were shining. Paul was smiling.

"That's impossible," he stated, amazed.

"There's always a first for everything," I told him.

"Can you try moving your arms, Percy?" Dr. Ezra asked him.

Percy looked like he was trying to concentrate. I was waiting for his arm to move, but it never did.

Percy sighed, "I can't.""That's okay, you still are progressing more than should be humanly possible," Dr. Ezra said.

"Are you trying to tell me I'm a God or something?" Percy said, smirking.

The Doctor laughed, "No, no, Percy. It's just with your condition, you shouldn't be able to feel anything from your shoulders down."

"Well, I can. That must mean I'm like some sort of wizard or something, right?" Percy, being his normal self, said.

"No, you've just got God on your side," Sally said, smiling.

"I'm going to go, you just rest, Percy," Dr. Ezra said.

"Annabeth, why don't you stay the night here? I'll go get your stuff and I can have Paul drive you to school in the morning," Sally said.

"That would be great, Sally," I said, smiling.

"Great, I'll go run over to your house and grab some clothes and your school work. Paul, honey, why don't you go back home. I think I forgot to lock the doors," Sally said, then her and Paul left.

Percy was silent for awhile, then I heard him snoring.

Rolling my eyes, I grabbed his hand, and slowly drifted off.

When I woke up, I felt something squeezing my hand. I looked to see what it was.

Percy's hand was moving.

AN: Again, more reviews, the faster I will update! (:
