Chapter 10: Chapter 10

Yay! Ima back Peeps. Well I never left-But it probably felt like that to you!

I know I know, Where did you go, Why did you go, how could you be as cruel as to leave us like that? Well 2 reasons.

MY WORD STOPPED FREAKING WORKING

While my Word was down I started doing a co-story with Abba19, Skyrim: Percy & Annabeth. 6000 words already. I'm quite proud.

Anyways on to the story! Man is Annabeth gonna be in a pickle.

I laugh as Percy does a chicken dance. "Idiot" I say. "Thank you" He says. "Shut up." I say pushing him lightly.

The rain begins to lighten. "I'm going to go inside for one quick second" I say. "Fine. Be back soon" He says.

I run inside, soaked.

"Maybe she doesn't want to know" Dad says. I pause in the doorway.

"She's been happy all these years. She just got her life together, got a boyfriend, her band is going well, and I haven't told her but she got accepted to Julliard.

(I know no other Music school)

She's expressing herself. And you want to tear that all apart?" My dad says. I got accepted to Julliard? I remember my dad asking if we could have lunch together, just us.

He laughs.

"If we ask her she'll say yes, and you know that. I won't refuse you any privileges, you are her mother, but it's her choice. You can't force her into that cold house of yours because you think it's in her best interest. She'll hate both of us, not thank you. And don't think offering to pay for college will help you, she got in on scholarship. As I said. Her life is perfect." My dad says.

"I know who her boyfriend is. She's still fine." He says.

"Listen, I'll talk to her, but for goodness sake give me time! And no telling her reaction either." He says.

I back out of the house. Then I run to Percy. "What? What happened?" He asks. "Come on" I say. I pull him away from the house and start running.

He matches my gait easily. "Where are we going?" he asks. "Away." I say. Tears mix with the rain, my mascara running and my eyes turning red and puffy.

"What's wrong?" He asks. He stops me and pulls me into a narrow street between apartment buildings. "Come on. Tell me." he says.

I stare at his green eyes. Then he kisses me. In the rain. Again. "My mom is alive." I say. He looks at me.

"Who is she?" He asks. "I don't know. I heard my dad talking to her. And-I got accepted to Julliard" I say. Percy smiles. "That's great! But I don't see what the problem is" He says.

I hesitate.

"The problem? Is my mom is alive. And want's to meet me. I always just assumed she was dead-or in prison. Or somewhere where she couldn't contact me. But if she's known she could ask to see me at any time-

She didn't want me. She only wants to meet me now, when I'm old enough to take care of myself" I say. I burst into tears again.

"Listen. Annabeth. My dad was like that. He left me and my Mom before I was born. I didn't meet him for years. Then I met him when I was 14. I was so angry at him. For leaving my mom, for putting us through hell, for everything. Then I forgave him. Because I realized that being angry, or scared don't work.

Parents mess up, and you have to understand that they don't know what they're doing when they have us. They're Clueless." He says. I play with the hem of my T-shirt. "Maybe. But still-"I begin.

"Ok. Listen. Spend the weekend at your moms, and if you like it then you can spend 2 weeks a month at your moms. Your mom will say she hasn't seen you in a long time so she should see you more, but reply to that she could have seen you at any time" Percy says. I stare at him. He shrugs.

"What did I say? Experience" he says. He takes of his jacket and puts it on my shoulders. "Now. Let me walk you home so you can go talk to your dad" Percy says. We walk home,

Hand in Hand, The rain making everything Sparkle instead of depressing.

I wave goodbye to Percy one last time and walk inside. I'm soaked to the skin. Completely. "Dad! I'm home! Sorry I'm late, we got lost." I say. I grab a towel from the laundry and begin to dry my hair.

"Dad?" I call. "In here Annabeth!" Dad calls. I walk into the living room. Dad sits in a chair. "What's up?" I ask.

"Your Mother called." He says. I stop Drying. "My real mom?" I ask. "Yes. She wants to officially meet you" He says.

"Um-Sure." I say. He looks surprised. "Your fine?" he asks. I think about it. "Yeah. What's being mad gonna do?" I ask.

I keep on drying my hair. "She'll be here in fifteen minutes" He says.

Uh-Oh

I sigh.

Backup! I run to my room. I text:

To: Thales, Pipes, Seaweed Brain, and Rach.

HELP! Mom is coming ovr. Backup needed. ASAP peeps

I change in speed time. I get responses.

From: Pipes. Be there in 10 with Thalia-Make that 5

From: Rachel. B ther soon.

From Percy: Already? Bthr in 2

I sigh in relief and dry my hair. Someone knocks on the door. I open it to find a drenched Percy.

"Go into Luke's room. Dry off, and borrow some of his clothes" I say. He nods. "Which room is it?" He asks.

"2nd on the left" I say. He nods and clomps upstairs.

DING.

I open the door to Thalia and a slightly green Piper. "Great" I say.

DING.

I open the door to Rachel. "She here yet?" she asks. "Nope" I say.

I gather them in the living room. "Why are they here?" My dad asks. "Um-We were going to have a meeting for our book club but then my mom is coming over-"I lie easily. "Fine" He says sighing.

DING.

I open the door. I stare at my mom. "Mother" I say.

OH! We all know who it is-YOU THINK! MWAHAH! Now is a cliff hanger!

So in a matter of 5 days I got 2 co-author offers, and one adoption offer (Wants me to adopt)

Anyways I'm back in mode-Bye guys!

Read? Reviewed? Followed? Favorited? If you don't I'll have to have Percy hunt you down and that's sooo much work.
