A/N: Hey :)

Hey guys, I'm back with a new chapter. It takes place in their real lives after the 4 photo shoots. Don't worry, they'll go back to the Stages but I thought you guys would like a more sincere chapter(s). I hope y'all like it!

Oh, I don't know if I had mentioned this before in the previous chapters but Annabeth's home wrecker step-mama's name is Jessica. Just so when the name appears you don't go all *who dafaq is this Jessica you speak of?!*

^.^ Enjoy!

I own nothing

Real Life-Chapter 1

Annabeth's POV

Thalia, Piper, Piper's boyfriend Jason, and I sit around a table at a restaurant flipping though pictures of Percy and I printed on glossy photo paper. EW.

"I really like this one." Thalia says sliding a black manicured finger over a picture of our kiss at Lucy's, with Percy practically pinning me against the table. Jason snickers and I give him my best death glare. Someone, probably Piper, stomps on his toes and he falls silent with a small whimper. I gaze at the picture. If it wasn't me and him I'd really like the pictures; the café scene is really sweet and light, the park shoot was super fluffy and the pool table scene…well I'd be lying if I didn't enjoy that.

"What do you think?" Thalia scoops up a pile of finals and sweeps the rest onto the floor. She spreads out 12 pictures. I examine them all. Thalia made the scenes look bubbly and soft. It's ridiculous and hard to hate, but I'll try really hard.

"Hey, baby," I hear an annoyingly familiar voice say. I turn as Percy-freaking-Jackson sits down in the chair next to me. He manages to do this while attracting the attention of the females in the room.

"Did you just call Annabeth baby?" Jason asks with wide eyes. I discreetly find Percy's leg under the table and pinch him. He barely blinks.

"Yes, on purpose too," Percy says. He grabs my coffee cup and takes a sip.

"What?" I say narrowing me eyes.

"Are you coming over again tonight?" Percy says, ignoring all the looks from Piper and Thalia.

"What the hell!" I yell. Piper widens to saucers and Thalia sniggers but its Jason who asks the question.

"Percy? Are you banging Annabeth?" Jason asks. Piper smacks Jason upside the head.

"What! No-we're not-" I say quickly trying to explain that I had no part in this WHAT SO EVER.

"Like a drum," Percy agrees. He turns to me and gives me a naughty smile.

"GOD! PERCY!" I scream. The entire restaurant goes silent. I glance around then lower my voice.

"We are not having sex." I hiss. Then slam my foot down on his toes. He winces.

"I was just kidding," Percy says nudging me, "We're not having sex." He says to the group. They relax,

"Yet." He finishes.

"Percy!" I say through gritted teeth then burry my head in my elbow, He laughs loudly and practically all the girls in the room swoon.

"So why'd you guys call me?" I hear him ask but I don't open my eyes.

"We wanted to know what you thought of the first four shots, and we chose out some of the final pictures for the display. I pull my head up off the table and drown my coffee. I watch as Percy examines all the pictures, flipping though them carefully because the look on Thalia's face reads fingerprints are punishable by death.

"We look hot," Percy says setting the pictures down on the table and nudges me. I groan and slam my forehead back onto the table.

"Just shut up Percy," I say. The rest of the table laughs at us and I hear Percy take another drink of my coffee.

"Would you stop that?" I ask sitting up again and dragging my coffee mug away from him, "If you want coffee, just order."

Percy shakes his head innocently, "If I order the lady might faint." I stare at him for a second in utter amazement. His ego could be enough for him to feed off of.

I turn to Piper, "May I leave?"

"No you may not!" Piper says giving me a stern look and piles all the pictures into a manila envelope, "We are having coffee here, like the good friends we are, so play nice."

"Whatever," I mutter and order another coffee.

Thirty Minutes Later

Percy Jackson is not horrible to talk to. I mean, I'd hate to do it on a regular basis, but when his head isn't stuck up in his ass, Percy is not bad company. He's not my first choice but Piper and Jason were acting all cute and cuddly and Thalia was asleep on the table.

"How long have I been asleep?" Thalia asks in a scratchy voice as she pulls her head up from her elbow.

"A long time," Percy says empting his fifth coffee and reaching for the bill. I watch as he scans it, and then pulls out his wallet.

"Morning," I greet Thalia.

"Where are Piper and Jason?" Thalia asks, dragging her hand though her hair and downing the last of my coffee.

I snatch the cup away from her, "What is it with people and stealing my coffee?" I ask nobody in particular.

"Because you're an easy target," I hear Percy say but I ignore him.

"Piper and Jason are in the girl's bathroom, making out on the sink," I say rolling my eyes then take the bill from Percy and slide a twenty dollar bill into the pocket. I hand the bill to Thalia. She shakes her head disgust.

"I'll go get them," Thalia says and stands up. My phone buzzes the second Thalia's gone. I look down then answer.

"Hello?"

"Annabeth," It's my mom, the real one not the bitch on a stick, she sounds panicked and out of breath.

"Mom? What's wrong?" I ask starting to get worried. My mom is never panics; she's always calm and controlled about everything. Percy gives me a questioning look.

"Annabeth, I need you home. Your father just had a major stroke." Mom says and my heart stops, "I'm at the hospital right now with your step-mother, outside the ER. We left Carrie at home, she's napping. Please, please come home and stay with her until your father is stabilized."

"Of course," I say, something icy curls in my stomach. "I'll be there as fast as I can."

"Thank you, Annabeth. I'll call you when they tell me what's going on," Mom says.

We hang up and I stand up hurriedly, stuffing my phone into my pocket and pat my coat for my car keys, then swear. I had walked.

"Annabeth?" Percy asks, looking at me confused, "Annabeth, are you okay? What's wrong?"

"Did you drive here?" I demand, desperate for a ride.

"Yes, but-" he begins.

"Will you drive me somewhere?" I ask, out of breath. He stares at me for a second, than nods slowly.

It's as if Percy notices the tension in the air, and the twenty minute ride to my house is silent. I stare out the window blindly. This can't be happening, not yet. There was so much I still needed from dad; someone to walk me down the aisle, someone read stories to my kids. God, if my dad died, I would just fall apart.

A/N: Hi!

Sorry if this was a bit boring, it's more of a filler chapter for what's about to happen next.

Come one Percy, this is a chance for you to not act like such butthole and get the girl!

The way I built Percy's personality kind of annoys me too T_T

IRRELEVENT KPOP FANGIRL SPAZ: B.A.P's Angel or 1004 (still confused about the whole "name" thing) has been out for, like, a week and it is AMAZING! It's their first studio album, I'm so proud of them TT_TT God, the music video was so amazing! Daehyun and Zelo. I just. Can't even. FEELS XD.

…anyways. I'll be back in a couple of days (I swear) with the next chapter :D

See you there!
