(A.N. Hey guys! Sorry for long wait…. I know you guys think it will be awesome but guess what…. I had to FORCE myself to write it. I have a lot of school projects, I had a infection in my lungs, and I just finished LEAP- it's like finals but I live in Louisiana so I do LEAP…. If anyone figures out what it stands for, tell me and I'll shout you outtt! Happy birthday me! It was May 17 so… Yeah! Oh, btw, Summer now! More updates -I hope-)

I guess we are going to the famous Percy Rodrigue's house.

The train stops and we get off. My brain churning, I stumble off the train. The loud train horn wakes me up. I shake my head. Is Percy the reason she was crying? I…. don't know. I guess my brain clouded again because soon I feel Lily poking me.

"Huh?" I murmur. Smart response, right?

"Come on! We are going to our hotel." Lily says.

I nod, lost in thoughts. I have to be honest, not all of it was about my mom and Percy. ADHD sucks eggs.

*Time Skip*

I walk out my bedroom at 6:00, dressed in some jeans and a t-shirt reading "Don't Hate. Appreciate." My dad is wearing a shirt that looks like a tux and some pants. My mom is wearing a blouse and a shirt. Lily has a cute little dress.

Mom ushers us into a car and starts driving nervously. Her fingers drum against the steering wheel and my dad wraps an arm around her shoulders. Unlike usual, it makes her more nervous.

We arrive after 30 minutes of driving. My mom smoothes her hair and rings the door bell. That house is HUGE. I notice a huge line across the floor, and boxes stacked on one side. I remember that Percy is getting divorced from his wife, and that they split the house. Percy gets to keep the house and the kid they had.

Bethy, Percy's ex-wife, answers the door with a smile. When she sees it's us, her heavily-made up face rolls her eyes.

"Whacha want?" She says rudely. A tall figure suddenly pushes her to the side. Percy.

"Right this way people…" he says, leading us to the dining room on the left side on the house. I look around. Let's just say, it's awesome.

A little boy pops up out behind a couch. "BOO!" he yelps. Everyone jumps 5 feet into the air. He falls to the ground and laughs… his little butt off. A guy, I'm guessing a year older than me (so 15), runs up.

"Sorry about that." He says, scooping the little child up. The little kid giggles and the other guy swings him around. He places the kid down.

"Hey, can you take Hope and…" Percy starts

"Lily." Lily says

"And Lily to the game room?" He ends

"Sure, sir!" The guy says, a small smile on his lips. Percy frowns.

"Don't. Call. Me. A. Sir. Or I shall KILL YOUU!" Percy yells.

"Oh, ok SIR." The guys says grinning. Percy looks pretty ticked.

"Oh. Oh. OH. You did NOT just go there. Oh. Just…" With that, Percy takes out a sword I guess he had in his pocket or something and starts chasing the guy.

I couldn't help myself. I start chasing Percy. Said person looks back and sees me. He smirks and looks forward. I wonder why he smirke-

I slam into Percy and fall back on to the floor, my head banging into the hard ground. I sit up and rub my head.

"First off, ow. Second off, what the heck? I thought we were friends." I say, wiping a fake tear from under my eye.

"First off, HA! Second off, I just met you. Third, HA!" Percy says.

"What EV-ER." I huff. I look around and see everyone laughing. I scowl and clear my throat.

"You said something about a game room." I say. The guy nods.

"Right…. This way.." The guy chokes out, still laughing.

"It's not that funny." I mutter. Well, as an afterthought, it probably was. I stomp after them scowling.

We arrive at the room and Lily and the little boy walk of talking about whatever.

"So…. what's your name?" I say

"Iggy. (AN: Who has two hands and loves Maximum Ride? This gurl!) Yours?" Said person replies.

"Hope. I'm taking you aren't Percy's son…. So who are you?"

"Yeah. My mom, Tamara, organic stuff studiererer or something," I giggle. Studiererer. Cool word. "And my dad is Holden, an engineer. Well. What about you?"

"My mom is Melanie, a marine biologist person-y person." I smirk, saying fake words like him. He rolls his eyes. "And my dad, Landon, is a lawyer and a part-time professor."

"Cool. So.. uhm… what do you… look… like?" he says awkwardly. I look at him confused.

"I… can't…see…" he says slowly, putting his hands in his pockets.

"Oh…. Well…. I look TOTALLY AMAZINGG!" I say. He smiles and shakes his head.

"I have wavy hair that goes down a few inches below my shoulders. Tan skin, green eyes, sparkly teeth. Tall for my age, I'm 14, skinny… and people say I'm pretty." I say.

I go and sit at a table, with Iggy following me.

"Have you always been blind?" I blurt out randomly. He shakes his head. "I don't wanna talk about it right now." He turns on the tv to Disney Channel, don't judge, and we sit there laughing at the stupidness of some people on there, and just having a good time.

"Uhm, do you have a bathroom I could use?" I ask.

"No, I use the bathroom outside." He says sarcastically. "Down the hall to the left, second door on your right." I nod and go to the restroom.

After doing what I had to do, I sneak to the dining room and hide behind the wall. My mom and Percy are the only ones in there.

"-I like you, still. Hades, I still love you. Why don't you believe me?" Percy says

"You left me. You. Left. Me. I looked for you everywhere, and then I found out you found a girl and forgot all about little ol' ME." Says my mom bitterly.

"I looked for YOU everywhere. Somebody told me that you went and got married to the Landon fellow so I went and got married. But I never forgot about you. I love you."

"I… don't love you anymore. I-"

I run back into the game room and watch the show with Iggy, not paying attention. Do you blame me?

*Time Skip*

I lay in bed staring at the ceiling for the second time in a row. I share a room with Lily, sadly, in our little hotel near the beach. I sigh and roll out of my bed. I grab my iPod and plug my earphones in. I turn it down low and climb in. I close my eyes, the music soothing me. In just a few minutes, I'm asleep.

And then I had the Dream.

(AN: PLEASE REWIEW! For any reason. Here, I'll give you a reason to review. To wish me Happy Birthday? Or to answer this question: If you had a godly parent, who would it be? Mine would be Athena. REVIEW! Have a gooood day!)
