After 3 hours of listening to Kylie and Remi argue, Liam's music playing in his headphones for the entire car to hear and Brady's monstrous snoring we finally pulled up the stone gates of the house.
Percy rolled down the window and typed in the gate password just as another 2 cars pulled up behind us. I could see Max's face in the rear view mirror and he was about to strangle someone. I smirked and Percy pulled the car through the gate and up the drive followed by Max and Carter's family and Spencer and Kat's. Percy opened the garage door and we pulled in. Max and Spencer pulled over to the side of the drive. Remi and Kylie crawled over Brady to get out of the car stepping on him in the process.
"Leave me to sleep!" Brady yelled eyes closed. Liam smirked with a chuckle his ear eating beats still covering his ears blaring Eminem.
"Come on lets all go inside." I said opening Brady's door so he would fall out.
And we all grabbed our bags and went into the house.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~LINE BREAK DON'T MIND ME~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dallas's POV...didn't see that coming did ya:)
All the families arrived at the house okay. Kat and Spencer and their daughter Ariel came. Sadria and Connor and their twins Charlotte and Duncan. Clarisse and Chris with their son Eric. Thalia and Nico with their daughter Jade. And of course the Jackson's and us.
The 9 bedrooms were split up me, Remi, Jade (17),Ariel (18), Charlotte (17) in Remi's room.
Diana, Blair, and Kylie were in Kylie's room.
Brady, Liam, Eric(18), and Duncan(17) in Brady's room.
Then the parents each got a guest room or Liam's room.
I walked into the kitchen where luggage was being brought in. Annabeth was standing in a open refrigerator with a cardboard box at her feet. She was taking food out and putting it into the refridge. She had on a tan swing top with blue skinny jeans. She grabbed a gallon of milk out of the box and reached up to put it on the tallest shelf of the refridge. Her shirt rode up to reveal a toned stomach any girl would kill to have. I gave a skeptical look to her. Now I know she likes to work out and keep herself healthy but so does my mom and all the other moms here and none looked so...young. She had almost a glow to her like she had dipped in the fountain of youth. Percy walked in the door with another carton of food in his hands. His muscles flexed. And again I've seen all of my dad's friends they stay in great shape but Percy had a too perfectness about him for being 41 and having a 17 year old son. I grabbed my bag and started walking out of the room.
"Kids!" Annabeth yelled.
I turned on my heels back towards her and all the kids came in.
"Parents are going to sit down here so why don't you go up to the bonus room and watch a movie." Annabeth said smiling at us.
"Why can't we stay?" Liam asked.
"Basically you mom doesn't want us drinking in front of you." Percy said walking over to the fridge to pull out a bottle of wine.
Annabeth just smiled slightly.
"Mom we've seen you drink." Brady said to his mom.
"We have things to discuss." Annabeth said and that pretty much shut down any idea of us staying.
We all walked up stairs to the bonus room.
It was on the second floor where all of the kids and half of the guest beds were. It was a large circle room half of it being windows that overlooked the sound with black shades that came down. I knew that Mr. and Mrs. Jackson had a similar window wall that overlooked the sound in their bedroom. A chocolate, swayed sofa that rounded with the wall sat in front of a large TV. The TV sat in a large rounded entertainment center that had to many cabinets to count.
"I vote stepbrothers" Remi said sitting in the sofa. I sat down next to her.
"Sounds good." I agreed and everyone else nodded too.
Brady went into the cabinets searching.
"It is here right?" Brady said checking another cabinet with no luck and moving onto the next.
"Yea it's here." Kylie said from her place on the couch where everyone was sitting.
Brady got up on one of the open cabinet shelves so he could reach the top.
"I hope that breaks" Kylie said smirking.
"I love you too sis." Brady said not taking his eyes off the shelf.
"Nope I can't find it." He said running his hand around the cabinet then there was a clunk.
"What the..." Brady said grabbing a cardboard box and throwing it to the ground. It was a moving box not a big one but not to small.
Everyone froze. If you had been around the Jackson family long enough you knew not to snoop around. To just accept what you saw and heard or Annabeth would come after you. I had learned that lesson quick. Everyone didn't want to be caught on the bad end of an Annabeth rage but everyone sitting there was thinking "What could be in there?"
"What's that?" Blair asked.
"I don't know i've never seen it before." Remi said from the seat next to me.
"We shouldn't touch it obviously it was hidden for a reason." Liam said.
"Well fuck it." Kylie said walking up to the box and opening the lid. Everyone held their breath as she peered in.
"Guys don't be afraid it's just memorabilia." Kylie said ushering us over.
To be honest I knew little to none about all the kids here parent's past. I know they all met at summer camp and went to high school together, but that's about it. I knew some more stuff about my parents of course but Annabeth and Percy were the ones that talked least about their past. Any topic of their teen to early adult life was avoided and nobody argued because lets face it Annabeth is really pretty and nice but when she's mad...you better run. Brady and Remi had also mentioned a few times that they really nothing about their parents past.
Remi started pulling things out of the box. She grabbed a few pictures. The first was a torso up picture of Annabeth and Percy probably in their late high school years. Annabeth was looking at the camera laughing and Percy was behind her with his arms around her waist. He had a dazzling smile at the camera. It was dark outside and I could see a beach bonfire behind them with kids running around and fireworks were in the background. She flipped over the picture.
"Camp Half Blood summer between junior and senior year fourth of july fireworks photo creds to Piper." Remi read off the back.
"Aunt Piper?" Liam asked.
"I bet, she did go to camp with them." Brady said
"That's such a cute picture." Ariel said grabbing it to look at.
We all smiled and agreed. Remi grabbed another picture. This one was Percy and Annabeth sitting under a tree. In Annabeth's hair there was a black headband with The white button-up, red blazer, grey skirt, white stockings, and black oxford heels, The girls Goodie uniform. Percy had on grey slacks with a white button-up on, he had on a grey hoodie on under his red blazer, that was against Goodie dress code but all the jocks wore it like that.
In the picture they were under a tree Annabeth had her head and Percy's lap mouth slightly open so you could see she was talking. Percy was slouching against the back of the tree fingers playing mindlessly with here curls looking into her eyes.
"omg," Remi said with a smile, "They were so cute."
"Goodie senior year under the senior tree photo creds Spencer." Remi read off the back.
I picked up some other items in the box along with Kylie and Brady.
"Woah look here," Brady said holding a large letterman jacket. It had Jackson written on the back with a bunch of Vs for varsity down the arm. The G on the front was filled with swimming, football, and baseball pins.
"This was dad's." Brady said looking at it.
"Here's mom's." Kylie said holding up a smaller more feminine cut letter jacket with Chase written on the back. It also had Vs down the arm for varsity but only two because Annabeth came to Goodie as a junior. The G on the front had two field hockey pins two lacrosse pins and two cheer pins.
"Let me see that." Remi said taking her mom's jacket. Remi was a die hard cheerleader and she knew her mom was too I guess she liked to see memorabilia from it. Some scrap books were pulled out and looked through we were all hystarically laughing through them. They had pictures of all of our parents in high school. I glanced a the box and a gold object caught my eye. I reached in and grabbed it. It was a gold infinity sign ring. I gasped when I read the inside. ~Forever~ Love Your Seaweed Brain Was written on the inside.
"What?" Everyone said.
Remi grabbed the ring. "oh my god aww." she said. Then the ring was passed around.
Remi grabbed the last remaining things in there. A blue tiffany box from their wedding rings a wedding album and a few loose looked at the pictures. The first was the most recent picture of Percy and Annabeth I had seen in the box. All of the other pictures were from high school and college but this Annabeth and Percy looked about in their mid 20s. Annabeth had on a blue cocktail dress and Percy had on black dress pants with a sea green button up. One of his arms was around her waist and the other laying on her arm. Annabeth arm was up and hand facing out to show off her engagement ring. On the back it said. "The night we got engaged age 26 photo creds some random waiter."
We looked at the other picture. It was of Annabeth and she had on a wedding dress. Now Annabeth is beautiful but she looked flawless in the picture. It was taken in a mirror reflection to give it a dramaticness. Annabeth had on her wedding dress and veil. Her hair was done and so was her makeup. She had her index finger up to her face touching up foundation. She had on a model face and the picture was stunning.
"Is something...bothering y'all?" Kylie asked.
"You mean..." Diana started.
"We all can see it there's no denying it." Liam said
"Their Age..." Brady said.
We all looked down at the picture and the faces staring back were ones we had seen down in the kitchen an hour ago...the exact same...Percy and Annabeth hadn't aged a day since their engagement photo was taken.
AN: DUH DUH DUUUUUUUH :)
All the other character kids list will be posted at some point and i'm making Goodie have uniforms and their colors be red black and white. K love y'all
