CHAPTER 6: Still Undecided
6:00am…
Percy sat by his coffee table, head down, face buried in his hands.
He was thinking about how to deal with his situation. He knows that Poseidon and Athena would never stop their fight, unless he and Annabeth breaks up. But, he loved Annabeth so much, and he doesn't want their relationship to end.
"This is killing me! Should I pick Annabeth over the war? What now!? I know it's going to be unpleasant for the gods, but even so, I love Annabeth and I would do anything just to be by her side. I've made my decision," he said, standing up.
But then, he threw himself on his bed, and stared at the ceiling.
"I can't do that… That'd be so selfish…"
He kept thinking about what to do. His mind's so topsy turvy…
Then… His cell phone rang.
He sat and grabbed his ringing phone. He was sort of annoyed, but he answered it anyway.
"Hello?"
"Percy?"
"Annabeth…" Percy's voice sounded pained.
"Uh… What's with your voice?"
"My voice? Oh.. It's nothing…"
"I see, then..."
"By the way… Why'd you call?"
"Just felt like it…"
"Oh…"
"And your mom invited me over for dinner…"
"Tonight?"
"Yeah."
"Great."
"Ookay… I need to go… Bye bye, Percy… Love you…"
"Okay, bye… Love-" and before he could even finish his sentence, Annabeth hung up. "-you , too…"
He shut his phone. He was again lying on his bed, and before he knew it, he was about to get late for work.
He stood up, and rushed to the bathroom, took a bath, got changed, and so forth and so on.
He's currently the manager of Thunder Waves Hotel & Resort, which is owned by Zeus' only demigod daughter, Thalia Grace.
He rushed to his car, and drove at 120 kph. Unfortunately, he got caught by an old and grumpy merciless policeman.
"Gods…"
"Get out of the car, Mr. Whoever- you- are…" The policeman said in a low, aggravated voice.
"Uh.. Jackson… Sir…"
"Right. Whatever you say. I don't care anyway… your license?"
Percy dug through his wallet to find his driver's license.
"Right. "
"Sir, couldn't we just talk this out? I really need to get to work now… As in, this very minute?"
"Whatever."
"Please…"
"No."
"Holy Poseidon… Oh Gods…"
"Swearing, eh? That won't help you get out of this situation, Mr.…"
"Ugh… Right…"
Percy was then imprisoned. He was given the chance to call someone. He called Grover, of course. Who else could he call in a situation like this? So, he dialed Grover's number. Luckily, he picked up right away.
"Hello?"
"Grover!!!"
"'Sup, Percy?"
"Listen, Grover… I'm in JAIL…"
"Oh… I see… How are… Whoa… YOU'RE IN JAIL!?"
"Yeah…"
"How?"
"I was driving at 120kph…"
"Oh…"
"Okay then… Bye."
"Bye."
And after 5 minutes, VOILA… Percy's bailed.
"Grover!"
"Yo."
"You bailed me out?"
"Uh huh…"
"Thanks man, but where the hell did you get $ 13 000!?"
"I just SOLD my life-long collection of SODA CANS to the junk shop. So at least BE GRATEFUL…"
"Gods… You're awesome!!!"
"Don't mention it…"
"What time is it?"
"Quarter to 8."
"What!? I have to go to work, NOW."
"Okay..."
"Thalia's so gonna kill me!"
"Okay, let's go then."
The moment they arrived at Thunder Waves, they were welcomed by none other than Thalia, herself.
"PERCY! You are late."
"I'm sorry, Thal… It's just that…"
"Whatever.. You're late..."
"I was in JAIL!"
"Not my fault…" She flashed a sly grin and stuck her tongue out at Percy.
"C'mon, Thal."
"Hah. Go to work."
"Right."
"Oh and your penalty for being such a jerk and going to work late is…hmmm…"
"What?"
"I'll eat dinner at your place…"
"Tonight?"
"Yeah… I miss your mom's cooking already…"
"Okay…"
Then Grover barged in.
"Yo, Percy."
"Yep?"
"I wanna have dinner there, too."
"No prob."
Then Thalia cut in.
"Okay okay… That's enough chitchat… go to work now Percy!"
"Yes, ma'am."
Then he got to work.
After work, Percy went home.
"Mom, I'm home."
"Oh… Hi, Percy."
"Thalia and Grover said they'll come over for dinner."
"I see..."
"What time will Annabeth come over?"
"Around 7?"
"Okay…I'll just go change."
"Sure."
Then Percy headed to his room. He loosened his tie and headed to his bed. The next thing he knew, he was sleeping. During his slumber, pictures slowly formed in his cloudy mind.
He was running, and panting. He was running as fast as he could, yet he doesn't know what he's chasing after. His eyesight started to blur and darken. He started to feel dizzy, and just as he was about to fall, he saw an image of a lady… A lady who looked so familiar. She has flowing blonde hair and tantalizing gray eyes. And just as his eyes shut close, he mouthed one word. "Annabeth…"
"Annabeth!"
Percy sat up abruptly, panting.
"Oh gods. Just a dream… Whew…"
He looked at the time, and noticed that it was already 7:30.
"I've been sleeping for an hour, eh?"
He headed to the bathroom and took a shower. Then, he got changed, and headed downstairs, and there, he found out that his mom, Annabeth, Thalia and Grover were already eating.
"Hi," Thalia greeted as she noticed Percy by the stairs.
"Oh… hey, man," Grover said, with a grin.
"Hey…"
"Aren't you going to eat?" Annabeth asked.
"Oh… Right."
"Percy… I see you're awake… I went up a while ago, and you were sleeping. You look tired so I didn't bother you," Sally said upon seeing Percy.
"Oh… what's for dinner, then?"
"Chicken in white sauce and Gourmet Tuna Fillet."
"Cool…"
Then, Percy sat beside Annabeth, and started eating. He got a slice of tuna, and a piece of chicken and put them on his plate. They chatted about stuff, and they laughed endlessly. They told stories to each other until they finished eating.
"Annabeth," Percy said with a soft, yet soothing voice.
"Yep?"
"Do you have a sec?"
"Uh, sure."
Then they went to the garden, for some private talk.
What do you think is the reason why Percy wanted to talk to Annabeth? What does he want to talk about?
...
