Witness Protection
Chapter 19
ANNABETH POV
Now I was in the hospital waiting room. Percy had saved me. Nico was lucky enough to be ten seconds away, and got there when Percy closed his eyes. Maybe for the last time.
Flashback
Percy was checking me for wounds. But I didn't feel anything. All of the sudden I saw shock in his eyes. That was not good. His composure fell, and he collapsed. "Percy!" I exclaimed, shocked. I looked at him and noticed the blood wasn't coming from me… rather from him.
"You can't leave me! You promised!" I yelled, cradling him in my arms. My savior had fallen… my fallen angel. I was sobbing.
"I-I love you Annabeth." He said, looking into my eyes. I was going to miss those. "Get married, have kids… live your life, not mine." My tears were like a waterfall on his cheeks.
"NO! PERCY! I CAN'T LOSE YOU!" I screamed, taking off my shirt and applying the pressure.
"Sorry..tell my mom and dad that I love them please?" I shook my head. He is kidding. He will get up any second right now, and tell me he's kidding. I will give him a hug. Kiss him. And he'll be mine. But I knew that it wouldn't happen.
"You aren't dying!" I yelled. I took his shoulders, and shook him. I tried to keep him awake.
He closed his eyes. I knew that if I didn't act fast, I would lose him forever. I started doing CPR. My father taught me how to do that awhile back, and I'm glad that was one of the few things I paid attention too.
Nico ran in and gasped. Then called 911. Apparently all the others fled the scene, knowing we were here. He helped me by keeping pressure on the wound while I did CPR he explained what happened while I was taken.
The paramedics came a few minutes later with the pedals. I was pulled back in an embrace from Nico, and we watched.
First time- no response.
Second time- no response.
Third time- no response.
Fourth time- faint response.
They did CPR, and gave him an IV. I was crying with joy. He was alive. They made sure he was stable, and then brought him to the hospital for surgery. They won't know for sure if he will survive that. If he does… he still has a rocky but bright road ahead of him.
End flashback
Juniper was in the same hospital too, and I got to see her. She didn't look like she was ready to get up and go out in the field, but she looked like she was happy to be here. And that's all that really counts. Grover let a few tears when Nico told him what happened to Percy, and Juniper and Thalia had to comfort me while I was sobbing. They were staying strong for me, even though they let a few tears escape.
Nico, Thalia, and I left, and went to the waiting room, where we waited to hear the news about Percy, the one person who could break my heart, or make it whole.
The doctor walked in and we all stood up, ready to embrace the news. He looked tired. "Are you with Percy Jackson?" He asked, looking at his papers. We all nodded vigorously.
"He's stable and he survived surgery. We are allowing three visitors per hour, you see, Mr. Jackson isn't awake yet. We all nodded and followed the doctor to his room.
I walked in and just about cried. His whole abdomen was covered in bandages, and it was my fault. If I had gotten out of that place… he wouldn't be here. I sat down on the chair that was placed by his bed.
I gave Thalia a look that only women understand, and she pulled Nico out by the ear, making me smile. I looked back down and Percy and caressed his face with the back of my hand. So delicate, he looked like he would break at the lightest touch.
I smiled again, and started to talk to him. "I miss you, you know. Thalia and Nico are okay. Juniper and Grover are okay. We are okay. I just really miss your eyes. Your laugh. Your smile.
"I never thought that someone would come into my life and just take over. You changed my life for the better. Defiantly for the better. Your parents called Nico and they're coming. Poseidon too.
"I hope that you want me still when you wake up… I understand if you don't." I gave his sleeping body a sad smile. "Even if you don't… I always will."
I heard a soft moan escape from his lips and I gasped. He's awake. "Percy?" I asked, worried that it wasn't real.
"Hmm?" a voice asked, and I knew it was him.
I gave a small cry of joy and hugged him. " I missed you too wise girl." He told me and I smiled.
"I love you." I said, wiping a lost piece of hair away from his fragile forehead. He caught my hand and kissed the palm.
"I love you too, my wise girl." I smiled and kissed him. It was just a little peck, and I sat back, admiring the view I had.
"What is going to happen now?" I asked, looking in to his sea green eyes. The ones I loved.
"Well… I guess we go and tell the people who we really are. The ones at camp, though." He said, shrugging. I saw him wince in pain, and he was pretty mad at himself.
"Yeah… I think we need to come straight. Aaron and Adela are going to be devastated, you know. They really love you." I said, making Percy smile.
"That's good to know." He joked and he kissed my cheek.
All of the sudden the door burst open. "PERCY!" a woman's voice cried. Her voice was raspy like mine was after crying. A man came in after her and I recognized him as Percy's father. So that woman must by the famous Sally Jackson.
"Hi mom." She sat on the other side of the bed, and squeezed him tight, causing him to moan in pain.
"Take it easy on him, Sally." Poseidon said, smiling at the family reunion. Sally scoffed and looked at her son.
"He can never get enough of me, Poseidon." She said, smiling. She pecked his cheek and looked at me. "Sorry sweetheart. I had to embarrass my son first." I could tell that I was going to like this woman.
"It's okay Ms. Jackson." I said smiling.
"Please, Annabeth, call me Sally. Ms. Jackson makes me seem old." She said, with a joking smile. I could tell where Percy got that funny edge. She was generous too. The entire better.
Percy had his father's looks. I think that they were both handsome. I can see how Ms. Jackson fell for him.
After awhile his parents left, leaving the room to us. I yawned and I hoped Percy didn't hear me. But of course… he did. "Time for bed." He scooted over and leant a place just for me.
I smiled and lay down beside him, not caring if it was against the rules.
AWE! Back together again! I'm happy with this crappie. This is NOT the end, so stay tuned for a new chappie! Writer010 just laughed when I fell off my bed and choked on licorice. How mean is that? JK.
