New World New Life Chapter 2
Owen POV
As we were driving home I asked my "parents" I guess I should call them that shouldn't I. Anyway I asked them to stop by in a coffee shop to talk about some important ground work that I wanted to know before I see my new brother. When we sat down I started with "All right first question what do you know about my past?"
"Well, what we know is this. We know that your mother died in a car crash and that your Dad threw himself off the hospital building when you two found out your mother was dead" Sally said gently. I stiffened, they looked at me concerned "sorry the memory's still a bit raw, I'm fine I guess" I smile weakly. "What else do you know?" "Well we do know about…. That time in the warehouse" Paul said rubbing his neck awkwardly. I nodded my street face dead on. (Street is the term I use for describing an expression where you can't read someone's emotions) "All right then" I reply, "Now for the more important question, what does my new brother know about my past?" They look at me surprised that I would ask this question "what, don't want to let something slip ye know, I can't imagine him being happy that your keeping secrets about his new brother" I say rather amused.
"He knows that your parents are dead and that they died not long from each other, we kept how they died and the…. Warehouse incident from him. We figured that would be your story to tell him and not ours" I nod gratefully, I finish my tea. "Ahhh, nothing like a good cup of tea, ready to leave let's go meet my new brother"
When we reach the apartment in Manhattan, I'm greeted by quite a cute apartment to be honest. I quite like the look of it but by this point I was so tired and literally running on the caffeine I had from the tea earlier I needed sleep. Losing 6 hours really, really sucks. Stupid time zones. As I, along with Paul pull my bags in the apartment and set them down in the sitting room or living room as you Americans call it. I am greeted by a certain athletic looking boy with sea green eyes and rather messy black hair. "Hey Percy Jackson pleasure to meet you" He presents his hand to shake it and he has a friendly smile on his face. I smile warmly back "Owen Hand, pleasure is all mine" I reply shaking his hand. My new brother looks me up and down raising his eyebrow and smiling "man you look like you can barely walk let me take the bags to your room" I thank him gratefully but politely decline on taking all the bags don't want to come off as a lazy person ye know. I study Percy as I follow him to my room. I could tell he was a well-built guy and he had the kind wariness of someone who has seen some things that they wish they could forget. I make a mental note to myself that sticking with Percy would probably be a good idea if I want to keep safe. He looks like a guy who can kick anyone's ass in high school without much trouble.
When I drop my bags into my room, Percy asks me if I want to unpack. I shrug and decide against it because I want to do that later. I chat with Percy and l find out that he has a girlfriend named Annabeth Chase, I laugh good naturedly when he says that, that bloke is very clearly head over heels for that girl and I'm not surprised that girl was beautiful with blonde curly hair and striking grey eyes and a very athletic body. Well let's say Percy is one lucky man and leave it at that. I say to Percy that she's beautiful and that he's a lucky man. He agrees with me and we fist bump. I ask him who his friends in school are. He smiles and says "Well Annabeth you've seen but my other friends are Jason Grace, Piper Mclean, Frank Zheng, Hazel Lavesque, Leo Valdez and Reyna Ramirez-Armello" I nod and reply with "ok I know this is going to be a weird question but what's the couples?" Percy laughs and says "why do you want to know" raising his eyebrow amused. I laugh and raise my hands in surrender "Just don't want to have any misunderstandings because if all your mates look like you and Annabeth. I'd rather not get a broken jaw." He laughs a lot, "all right, sure well it's me and Annabeth, Jason and Piper, Hazel and Frank, Leo is going out with a girl called Calypso and Reyna's single but she'll probably kill you if you tried to hit on her". I smile "Point taken, all right I'm going to bed for a couple hours before I collapse in front of you" He laughs and agrees. He leaves quietly and I collapse in bed and fall asleep like a rock. My final thoughts are "uhhhh fuck time difference."
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter and please review this story please. Next we'll be starting school and we'll be meeting the gang Povs may change but I'm not sure yet.
