Percy POV
"Who are you? And who is Percy?" I felt my horse voice ask. I stared at the girl in front of me. She was breathtakingly beautiful. Her deep, grey marbles were searching mine, as if she were looking into the deepest parts of my soul. Big blond curls fell on her shoulders as she helped me up, so that I was sitting up straight.
I felt a sharp pain shoot through my head and side, and I looked down to see a pool of blood next to me. In fact, I will still bleeding.
"Agh!" I screamed in pain, picking up my hand, only to see a bloody hand. Flashes of a striking blue-eyed boy, as I recognized to be my brother, Jason, shot through my head in streaks, like Zeus himself was hurdling lighting bolts from the heavens above. I remembered he had stabbed me in the side, hence my bleeding, and I ended up in utter darkness.
"Percy, it's me, Annabeth." She said, as I tried to comprehend what was happening here. "If you don't remember me or your own name...what do you remember?" Her worried musical voice asked.
I swallowed, my throat as rough and dry as sandpaper. "All I know is that Jason was furious at me...for killing our brother...my mom sent me to go live with my dad, and I just started going to Stanford. I also know that Jason stabbed me..."
A thought occurred to me as I tried to take everything that was happening in. "Wait, you said my name is Percy?"
She gave me a quick nod. "Percy Jackson."
It had a nice ring to it... but really? Percy? Wow, if I remembered having a name as sucky as this, I would have changed it by now. I thought to myself as I saw Annabeth called for an ambulance-her tone urgent and sharp.
"I'm going to need an ambulance The victim got stabbed in the side and is still bleeding. He woke up without remembering anything...546 Rosewood Drive...goodbye."
She looked over at me again, and I cringed looking away from her gaze. I couldn't meet her eyes. It was apparent I was important to this girl-who ever she was. I felt bad that I couldn't remember anything to put my arms around her, and tell her that she was safe, because I couldn't. I didn't even know if I was safe.
I heard sirens coming from outside, and two men came rushing in, picking me up and strapping me to one of those weird-looking beds. I cried out in pain as I felt them touch the side where I was injured. Annabeth got in the back with me, sitting up against the wall, those orbs never leaving my gaze.
I shifted uncomfortably, wincing as I felt my pain shot through my side.
"Don't move." Her gentle but firm voice commanded, and I listened instantly.
I scowled, getting agitated. How could I not remember someone like her? I wrecked my brain over and over, but I came up with nothing.
"Who are you?" I blurted without thinking, feeling her presence go cold. Like a gate had been just shut, leaving me trapped and alone on the outside.
"Let's just say I was someone very important in our life."
I glared at her. "I know that." I snapped. I didn't want to be mean, but I was confused, my head swimming in a sea of questions, none of them answered. "But what part in my life?" I hissed through my teeth, getting more aggravated than I needed to be.
Annabeth got mad. Really mad. She got up, putting her hands on either side of the bed I was strapped to, so that she was hovering over me. "Its one thing not to remember my name. But the part I play in your life?" She spat.
"You're blaming this on me?" I shot back, ignoring the burning, horrific pain in my side. "The least you could do was help me remember some parts in my life. But noooo! You sit here, screaming at me for not remembering you. How selfish can you get? If you were someone in my life before, I certainly don't want you here now!" I shouted.
Her face flushed bright red, which showed up even on her perfectly Californian skin. I bit my lip, knowing I've said somethings that I shouldnt have. "I'm sorry, I-" I said, interrupted by her cutting tone.
"Save it." She snapped, standing back as she watched the two doctors haul me away.
"But-" I objected, before I felt a sharp needle go into my arm, and I felt a haze of darkness overwhelm me.
Annabeth POV
I walked slowly down the eerie halls of the hospital as I tried to absorb what just happened. How could Percy say those things to me? I still felt my face burning at his words. But I still loved him. I couldn't let something like this stop me.
Turning the corner, I walked outside the room they had rolled Percy in. Sighing, I plopped down into one of the sickening green chairs. Will anything be the same again? It's already been 3 hours since we arrived. Jumping out of my seat, I felt a hand rest on my shoulder. I grabbed their wrist, twisting it around, looking into their eyes. It was a reflex I learned living with Matt. I was done being weak. I was done feeling like nothing.
"Ah!" They cried out in pain. I looked into the doctor's eyes, relaxing my grip on his hand. He staggered back, and touched his wrist. "That's one tight grip you have there."
I ignored his statement. "Is Percy okay?"
He scowled at me. "And who are you?" He asked.
"I'm...his girlfriend." I said, my voice faltering at the end.
He raised an eyebrow. "You sure? You don't sound so sure."
I narrowed my eyes. "And you seem a little young for a doctor, don't you? Dr...Solace?"
"You're good." He said with a smirk. If this was a cruel, repulsive way to flirt, it wasn't funny. "Yeah,Percy's okay. It turns out that his cut wasn't as deep as it seemed to be. He should be able to walk by tomorrow, but you better let him have time to rest."
Pushing him aside, I walked into the room anyway, hearing scream "little girl!" behind me the whole time. Little girl? I was about as old as he was!
I ran into the dead quiet room, locking the door behind me. The room was tight, and it made me feel claustrophobic. The only noise was coming from the TV that hung in the front of the room. You know what didn't make sense? If doctors and teachers and parents say that TV is bad for you, then why is there a TV in every single room of the hospital?
Percy stared at me, his eyes dull. "What are you doing here?" He asked bitterly.
I shrugged. "I thought that you would want some company."
"I thought you wanted me to 'save it.'" He spat, making me cringe at my own words.
"Look, I was coming to apologize, but if you're going to be this way, forget it."
He rolled his eyes. "Why would I want an apology from someone I don't care about? Or want to care about?"
He doesn't know how much those words stung. Him, of all people should know that words are powerful-more powerful than the strongest man in the world. Because physically pain will heal. Mental pain doesn't. Then again, this isn't the Percy I once knew. He doesn't know how much I'm breaking inside, all because of him. Percy didn't just lose his memories, he lost his goodness, his ability to radiate joy where ever he went. He lost so much more than he will ever know.
Tears began to wet my eyes. "I'm sorry. I can't do this anymore." I whispered, turning on one foot to leave.
"Wait!" He exclaimed, causing me to stop suddenly, looking over my shoulder.
"Can you help me reach the remote?"
I bared down on my teeth and turned the other cheek, running out the door, not wanting to look back. I was right. My worst fear had finally come true. Percy was gone. And he's not coming back.
Thanks for reading! And remember to Review! Luv you guys ;)
PS: I forgot to say that I'm afraid that I do not know when I'm going to be able to update, because of the state test (CRCT) coming up. I promise to try and update ASAP. Keep checking for updates! Thanks!
