(P.S. This one is more building to the Thalico because a bit of there story needs to be told.)

Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with the PJATO series.

Thalia POV

This, this couldn't happen I thought speeding home ready to tell him. Nico was so sweet and I guess he didn't mean for that to happen ,but still! I needed to tell Luke because I liked honesty and I wanted it even if it meant Luke would be mad. He had to know this for the same reason I wanted to tell him it was just right. The whole way home I was torn because not only did I want to tell him I also wanted to leave him. But knowing Luke at the mere words he would freak out and start screaming like a 5 year-old child. When I got home though I was even more confused.

Wait? Weren't the lights off when I left I could have sworn they were? I pulled over quickly and jumped out of the car and to the front door seeing two distinct shadows in the house. Were there burglars'? No obviously not the door was open and the only other person to have key's was...Luke. But why on earth would he be here? And who the hell was he with?

I walked in and was met with giggling and a hearty laugh that I knew all to well. I could tell it was coming from the kitchen which I walked to after silently closing the door because if Luke was in here I didn't want him to run away. I slipped out of my flip flops and placed my bag carefully on the floor. I snuck over and glanced around the corner where I saw a girl defiantly, she was tall and looked fairly small and had a mass of fiery red curly hair. She was standing way to close to a person I recognized well. I planned to walk out and slap Luke across the face who was she? Why the hell did he not tell me he was bringing a friend to the house? I thought bitterly Leaning against the wall.

I planned to do this ,but then with one twitch I lost my balance and fell with my limbs flailing out to grab something to catch me...there was nothing. The two snapped apart and looked at the thing (or person) who caused such a disruption. I brushed herself off and looked at the two and zeroed in on Luke glaring. If looks could kill Luke would have died then come back to life just to be killed again. The redhead looked up and smiled at me which she was very confused of.

She walked over happily with a weird jump in her step which weirded me out and also made me hate her immediately. But then I recognized her she as Rachel Dare billionaires daughter, beautiful ,young and apparently very very stupid. "Your Thalia right?" She said holding out her hand as I was just about to speak she looked back at Luke as if she remembered something. She smiled widely, " I'm Luke girlfriend and your his maid. I guess you don't know what I'm say because Luke told me your sob story of how you never even finished kindergarden. It's like so sad it could be a soap opera. I would def watch it!" She said while I just looked at Luke with what I'm guessing disgust in my eyes. Maybe it was something worse ,but I didn't care.

"Darling she is frightfully scared of new people being in the house why don't you go.." Luke said motioning to the back door where I guess she must've got here from. I guess he knew that in two seconds I was ready to kill and and I just might. Rachel looked at him weirdly shrugged and walked out of the door tripping over the metal part falling as Luke slammed it shut.

"YOU TOLD ME YOU HAD BUSINESSES!" I screamed loud enough to make your eardrums hurt. "WHAT THE HELL KIND OF BUSINESS IS THAT!" Luke cringed and looked up. He was looking at me in fear (That needs no explanation because I'm pretty sure I looked damn scary), regret, and third of all disappointment. He wasn't disappointed in me or at least he better not have been.

"Well Thalia dear,-" He started to speak ,but was cut off by my palm hitting his face a very fast speed and strength behind it. "Don't you dear me Luke how could you! After begging me to get engaged, which is not happening now, you have a girlfriend on the side! What the fu-" The bastard cut me off speaking in a controlled tone that had a very prominent edge of fear.

"Okay Thalia my father's assistant told me I had to because-" I cut him off again grabbing his keys off the counter and throwing them at him. "Leave! GO! It's OVER!" I screamed throwing my arm behind me in the general direction of the door. I couldn't believe he would do this! Here I am I was intent of apologizing for a little slip up and he had a freaking girlfriend ALONG with his fiancée . THEN he blames it on his dads freaking assistant! I always thought he was a good guy, nice and normal. But now I literally wish I never wasted my time with him. I heard a car speeding out of the driveway and knew he was trying to get out of here as quickly as possible with his car. Mostly because he knew I could screw with his car so badly he would never be able to drive it again.

I ran to my bedroom where I had something stashed. I promised myself I would never ever use it again,but right now I just needed some. I grabbed the little card looking at the old picture from two years ago. Even then I looked 21 so it would be no problem getting in. I look my purse and made sure I had some cash because my credit card said I was only 18. Walking out to my car I knew I would regret this tomorrow ,but alcohol was what I used to run away from my problems in 9th grade and 10th. Everyone staid I was stupid and it was a depressant.

But did I care? No, my father always drank and everyone also said Like father like daughter. Guess I'm living up to his freaking name.

Annabeth POV

I looked over at Percy as we walked into his house. Nico was staying over because Percy was worried that he would drink again and he hated it when Nico was drunk. I wondered where Thalia was and I heard Percy and Nico talk about it in whispers after she left. I was about to run after her ,but Percy told me she was too fast and that we could to track her down when she is in one place and staying there. I just hope she didn't get hurt because I never saw what happened. I asked Nico ,but he said he couldn't tell me.

Anyways back at Percy's house as soon as we walk in I smell something baking. "Leana?" He called in the way I guess was the kitchen ,but I've never been here before so how would I know? "Yes, ?" An older lady came out and looked at me then to him. "And this must be the beautiful Annabeth Percy has told me so much about you!" She hugged me walking back down a long hallway and taking a right. "Is that your mother?" I asked peering into the hallway looking at all the strange shell's and what-not. Though I did notice Percy wince as if that was a sore subject. He walked down the hall ,but took a left into a living room that had clothing everywhere. Nico followed me, ran and jumped over the back of the couch landing on the cushions grabbing what I thought to be was a book. Though it turns out it was a remote holder. What was I expecting anyway's?

"Well she's like a mom to him.." Nico said ,but then stopped as Percy shoved him of the couch and made room for me to sit down. "She's the maid though she lives, cleans, and cooks here even when were not here.

But I've lived here for the last 3 years and I've known her since I was 8 years-old. " He said looking into the kitchen hearing the oven ding. Leana reached in and grabbed something that looked like rocks of blue.

"Blue cookies!" She shouted into the living room shaking her head. "You clean this up soon." I thought she was pointing at Percy ,but it turned out to be Nico.

"And Nico since he was 10. Where like adopted Nieces sometimes nice sometimes..not so nice." Percy said laughing as Nico picked up a shirt and whipped it across the room to a pile of clothing. I gave him a weird look weren't maids supposed to clean? "She only cleans formal rooms ,but she keeps us out of trouble too."

I got up and went to the kitchen to see what the heck were the blue masses as Percy made fun of Nico for being so 'disorganized'. I looked at the tray and they looked like normal chocolate chip cookies except..they were blue? What's with the blue food anyway's? Are they like gluten free or well something free that has made them blue? I picked one up and suspiciously took a small bite of it. It wasn't just good it was like other worldly good! I took another bite slowly and cherished the taste closing my eyes.

"Good right?" A voice that I was unaware of from behind me spoke suddenly. My eye's snapped open and my hand flew out to hit whatever was behind me while turning around. " It's my mom's old recipe." Percy chuckled grabbing one and biting it. He held it with his teeth as he grabbed a spatula and a plate to place the rest on. There was at least 3 dozen and personally I wouldn't be surprised if we ate them all.

"Have you been able to reach Thalia?" I asked biting into another one and moaning a bit. Imagine your favorite food in the world then multiply the good taste of that by like 1 million then you have what I tasted. Pure unadulterated tastiness.

"Well she sent your phone a text message that said Going out see you at home later. And I tried to send one back ,but she didn't answer." Nico said suddenly next to us like he melted out of the shadows. He gave a small glance to Percy who shrugged and mouthed something back. I couldn't read lips so obviously I had no idea what the heck they were saying.

"What happened between you two?' I said looking at Nico expectantly. Percy gave a little nod before Nico started actually talking.

"Well we might've...kissed." He said looking at the floor obviously not regretting it ,but a bit ashamed. I almost dropped my cookie I was so surprised. ( If you just knew how good they were!)

"You what!" I almost screamed remembering though that there was someone other then us in the house I managed to control my voice level. Nico looked up daring me to make him say it again ,but I just kept on stairing and I would until I got another answer.

"We were trying to fix the umbrella that you had put up and we slipped and one thing lead to another and we kissed..." He said looking at me with fear that I might attack him. Sure I was mad ,but I was also secretly happy because maybe just maybe Luke and her would break up. Not only did I not like him ,but I could tell recently he was being more rude/disgusting to her then before.

"Okay well why don't I just say here till we know she's back because that house really creeps me out a night." I said looking at the plate of uneaten cookies. Damn I hope Thalia's alright ,but she should be fine because she is a black belt ,but if I'd known that happened I would've ran after her faster.

"Well then lets take theses back to the living room." Percy said lightly grabbing my hands and trailing me back to the living room. I put the cookies on the coffee table and sat down next to him snuggling up close putting my chin on his shoulder looking up into those eyes. He kissed my forehead and I rested against him. Damn I hope Thalia will be okay.

Thalia's POV (Yup back to it.)

To say I was drunk was like saying I was human. Because I was very very human just like I was very very drunk. Countless guys tried to sit next to me ,but as usual I didn't let anyone. I was a grumpy and emotional drunk or so I've been told. It wasn't my fault it was damn Luke's fault! I was sober for a year and now look at me! Sitting on a bar stool knowing not to ask for another or else the bartender just might kick me out. But we can't have that now can we?

Then again if I was were would I go? Home obviously ,but how in the name of hell would I get there? I looked at the clock and my suspicions were correct it was the ideal time to try and start finding my phone. I knew it was in my purse ,but my hands were shaking and my brain was telling me to jump up and run which I didn't understand. One side was telling me there's no hope my life is ruined the other was saying it's better then ever.

"Chan Iz ahve my phoney backk?" I slurred out to the bartender who I gave my purse to make sure I wouldn't lose it in this pathetic drunken state. He handed me my phone, "Call a cab or a friend ,but you are not driving whatever you do." He said looking at me. Nico guy he was ,not shady like the other bartenders I've met and certainly not mean at all. He looked old and wise from what I could tell though all night he was calling me Tally or Trebec and I had to keep on correcting him. He eye's were blood shot. He wore some strange shirt that just looked like line to me because my vision was so blurred.

I opened it up and scrolled down the list on names and click the first one I saw. I got up and walked towards the oddly clean bathrooms were I could try and talk better.

"Thalia?" A voice said across the line. Shit I had called the one person I was drunkenly trying to avoid.

"Nico.. can you pick me up?" I said in a weak voice before bursting out in tears. This day was just to much. I wanted to go home and close the blinds take the coffee maker to my room along with an ice pack to stop the pounding in my head.

"Thalia are you okay? Where the hell are you?" He said in what I can even hear as worried. I wiped my tears of my eyes which seemed to shock a bit of sense into me,

"I'm well, I'm in Mr.D's I know I'm not 21 ,but I got around that little part." I said tears streaming down my face. I hated being drunk because I was so emotional ,but could you really blame me? First I realize I liked and possibly loved someone other then my future husband-to-be. I kiss him then run home realize my fiancée has been cheating on me ,then I go to a bar get drunk. Realize I need a ride home and call the one person who I wanted to avoid until I died. Now I felt guilty because he was so willing to just run over and pick me up. Something Luke would never do because literally one time he said walk home.

"Oh- Well okay just be outside in 20 minutes and don't accept any rides from anyone I'll be right there okay?" Nico said softer into the phone. I couldn't believe he was coming to get me after I took off from today.

"Okay and about today-" I slurred part of it before he interrupted me.

"It's okay just don't do anything stupid and make sure to wait inside till you see my car instead I don't want you outside." He said right before the line went dead. I wiped the tears from my face stumbling out back to the bar tender.

"I've got a ride I just need my things when he gets here." I said looking into his bloodshot eyes. He gave a slight nod while cleaning a glass and pouring something for someone who I didn't care to look at. I just hope that this won't ever happen again any time soon.
