Percy continued to lick his blue ice-cream while Zoe looked at him in disgust.

"Sherbert, really Percy?" she made a face and Percy frowned at her.

"Whats wrong with sherbet? It's delicious." he defended and kept eating his ice-cream. Zoe rolled her eyes at Percy and took a small bite from her chocolate ice-cream. Jason laughed at the two and Zoe glared at him. She was sick of him laughing at herself and her boyfriend. She rolled up her sleeve and her Percy tattoo was noticeable. All Jason did was make fun of their relationship and she was tired of it, this arrogent boy needs to be taught a lesson. She decided and stood up and approached the now nervous Jason. Piper looked about ready to intervene but Percy shook his head in a warning to stay out of it. Zoe did something that no one but Percy expected, she rammed her chocolate cone in his face. He howled as the cold ice-cream froze his entire face. Leo and Frank roared with laughter and Thalia looked at Zoe murderously along with Piper. Percy tried to stifle his laugh as he helped his ice creamed covered friend get the cold substance off his face.

"What was that about Zoe?" Thalia growled as she, Percy, and Piper aided Jason. Hazel fell to the ground laughing along with Frank and Leo. Percy, who couldn't hold back anymore boomed with laughter and clutched his now aching sides.

"I'm sick of this idiot making fun of Percy and I, he laughs or grumbles about everything we do and I don't see what's wrong with it or why it's so humerous. Get your brother under control Thalia, or I'm going to kiss him so hard his brain will fall out!" Zoe snarled making the group laugh even harder and making Thalia confused and angry. Even Piper chuckled at the kiss comment. Then Thalia became angry as she thought of Zoe cheating on her cousin with multiple guys, and her little brother being a victim. But as she watched Percy, he laughed so hard that he started crying. Frank noticed her confused look and explained,

"On a truth or dare game, Leo dared Zoe to kiss Jason. She kissed her knuckles and popped him in the mouth, it was hilarious!" he boomed and began to laugh again. Jason started pouting and Piper nodded her head in agreement.

"He was acting like a total d-"

"Any who that's what happend." Frank finished as he cut off a now glaring Reyna. Percy laughed again and slung his arm around Thalia.

"Zoe's sorry about what she did, right Zoe?"

"No." Percy and Leo lost it again and they leaned on each other with another round of laughter. Jason glared at Zoe,

"You stupid girl! We joke around all the time and now your acting like-" Percy intervened,

"Don't talk to her like that.

"She shoved ice cream in my face."

"Are you kidding, or do I need to get you a tissue? Man up dude."

"Maybe if she wasn't so violent then we wouldn't have a problem."

"Leave her alone! She's perfect the way she is!" Percy defended.

"Whatever."

"What's your problem?! Stop feeling sorry for yourself."

"Your my problem! Your such a hypocrite! Your the one that strives for pity, oh I'm Percy! I got beat up by Luke all the time! He gave me a bunch of scars! The girl I used to love betrayed me! My dead beat dad left my mom and I to poverty!" Jason mocked, a part of him knew he shouldn't of said any of that but his anger made it so he couldn't think straight.

Percy looked at his best friend in anguish, tears cascaded down his face as he thought of the memories.

MULTIPLE FLASHBACKS-

"Common fellas, the faster we beat up this loser the faster I can go see my Annabeth." Luke taunted as he pulled out his knife and approached Percy's bare chest with his blade.

"Daddy, where are you going?" 5 year old Percy asked as he watched his Dad storm out of the house with a suite case. There was another one and Percy decided that his dad needed help. Maybe daddy's going on a trip! He thought as he struggled with a heavy suite case. Once he finally managed to bring the suite case to his daddy's car his father snatched it from him and tossed it in the trunk. Percy looked at his dad wide eyed,

"Daddy, where are you going?" Percy asked again and his dad glared at him.

"I'm leaving." being young and naive Percy thought his father was going on a buissiness trip.

"Where too?"

"Anywhere but here." Poseidon snarled and Percy coward away from him. His dad was always so nice, why is he being mean? Posiodon sighed and crouched so that he was eye level to Percy.

"I'll visit you tomorrow buddy, okay? Daddy's going to stay somewhere else for a while." Percy nodded and smiled at the thought of his dad coming to see him tomorrow.

The next day Percy tried dressing his best for his dad, he waited by the window. When his dad rolled up Percy ran outside. Once Poseidon saw his son he glared at him.

"I'm not here for you, I'm here for my stuff." he snarled to a surprised Percy. One his father gathered the rest of his belongings he cramed them in his car. Percy watched his dad drive away and started crying, what had he done? Little did he know that Poseidon had a huge hang over.

"I hate you!" Annabeth screamed after she smacked him.

END OF FLASHBACK

Percy's memories caused him to stare straight ahead with tears still falling from his eyes. Everyone looked at Percy in horror, none of them had seen him cry before.

"Perce, I'm so sorry I wasn't thinking and I was angry and-"

"I've think you said enough. Dear gods what have you done to him?! He didn't do anything to you, you are far to prideful Jason. He hasn't seen his father in 10 years, Luke scared him phyically and mentally, and Annabeth made it hard for him to trust people. You are no better then the 2 who tormented Percy for years!" Zoe snarled and looked sadly at Percy who was still sucked into bitter memories and still crying at the pain he's gone through. His face was a face of grief and loss, his blank stare ahead scared Zoe and she grabbed his hand.

Waking from his trance Percy looked at Zoe and she embraced him. He cried all of his pain and anger out as she whispered softly to him.

"What the heck Jason! Percy's been through more the you could imagine, he came here for a clean start but I guess he couldn't get a break could he? You may be my brother in blood, but Percy's my brother in every other aspect." Thalia glared at her little brother and went to comfort Percy. Reyna started cussing out Jason in Latin, Piper left Jason to check on Percy, Frank shoved Jason away from Percy and he and Hazel went to him.

The only person left was a glaring Leo.

"Look what you've done! Percy's been the best friend I could ever had. While you tried to ignore the bully, Percy saved me! You broke my hero, my best friend. Thanks." Leo growled and stalked off to Percy as well. Jason felt terrible, as he looked at the now emotionless Percy who was still in the embrace of Zoe. He was surrounded by friends who looked at their friend sadly. He knew he needed to apologize so he steeled his nerves and marched over to Percy. He betrayed his best friend and he was going to fix it. He pushed past everyone in his way including the pissed off Zoe Nightshade.

Percy stared at Jason numbly and was unsuspectedly pulled into a large hug. Percy froze and then hestitently hugged Jason back. Everyone watched the cousins in surprise and awe as Percy forgave Jason almost instantly. Percy, Jason, and Thalia were a lot alike when it came to tempers. When they were angry they would say things they ended up regretting. Percy understood that Jason didn't mean it and he pulled back to smile at Jason. They had a unspoken agreementland and an unspoken apology. Zoe was more then happy that Percy was back to normal, he stepped away from Jason and walked up to Zoe.

"Thank you love." he whispered and gave her a soft kiss.

"Awwwww." Jason cooed and Zoe glared at him again, just because Percy forgave him didn't mean she did.

"What? I didn't laugh or say Ew so we should be good here." he shrugged nonchalantly which made Percy chuckle.

"Oh no, he's turning into Piper! Next thing you know he'll like Justin Bieber and One Direction." everyone except Piper and Jason laughed. Piper was worried that Jason was turning feminem and Jason made a face at the singers mentioned earlier. Everything slowly turned back to normal and the tension left the group as they talked and laughed the night away.

-LINE BREAK AT SCHOOL-

Percy Jackson was having a crapy day, he had Annabeth and Zoe in every class. The girls would constantly glare at each other and talk to Percy, he didn't mind Zoe doing it but Annabeth was getting out of control. Sure she was good at flirting, but he never swade. He pretended to be oblivious to her flirting and ignored her. Not only that but Drew had a locker next to him and would constantly flirt and try to touch him. To say he was creeped out was an understatement, he thought he would die. To show the girls that he belonged to Zoe he wore short sleeves and made sure the girls would see that he was branded.

Annabeth saw the tattoo and felt hurt, this didn't deter her determination to win back Percy's heart. Drew saw it and didn't care, in Percy's opinion she was just a hoochy momma. Jason was also being flirted with by Drew which made Piper furious and Jason creeped out. Drew used Jason as her guy to run to if Percy didn't want her. She didn't realize that he or Jason didn't want her.

During music class with Apollo, being the prankster he was, he sat Percy between Zoe and Annabeth. Percy pleaded for a seat change but Apollo just laughed and shook his head, so Percy had to continue sitting between the 2 jealous women as he shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He decided to put his arm around Zoe which made Annabeth immensely jealous and she began to play with his fingers which made him extremely uncomfortable. He used his hand to run it through his hair and then placed it in his lap. Annabeth didn't seem to notice the awkwardness that filled the air and began playing with his fingers again. This caused Zoe to growl and Percy abruptly to shoot out of his seat.

"Can I use the restroom?" Apollo laughed and nodded. Percy sprinted out of the room.

"Can I go as well?" Zoe questioned and Annabeth mentally face palmed for not thinking of asking first. Apollo grinned micheviously at Zoe as she sprinted after Percy. She found him waiting outside the class room and he grabbed her arm and dragged her to his chest. Zoe landed on him with an oomph. She frowned at him,

"Why did you let her play with your fingers?" Zoe demanded feeling envious. Percy paled at Zoe's glare and shuffled his feet nervously. He honestly didn't want Annabeth to touch him at all.

"I tried to move my hand away but she kept following it. You should know better then anyone that I love you and only you." Zoe chuckled at Percy and instantly relaxed in his arms.

"Well well well, if it isn't the foolish Zoe Nightshade. Finally found a guy? He didn't use you yet?" Zoe spun around to find Hercules smirking at her. Leo and Jason suddenly walked down the hall and saw Hercules. They both smiled at each other evilly and crept up behind him. Zoe and Percy saw them and they both grinned at each other. Leo and Jason shoved Hercules into Zoe who kneed him in the family jewels. He scrunched his face together, it looked he was eating a lemon. Percy grabbed his face and slammed his knee into it making the arrogant jerk fall back. But Jason shoved him into the lockers and Percy opened Drews locker and put him in there. He then locked it since it was left unlocked in the first place. They backed away from the locker and laughed.

At this moment Lupa came around the corner and looked at them in suspicion.

"Well, I don't see any unconscious bodies this time, mind telling me what's so funny?" she asked still sure that they did something wrong.

"Aw, us? Do something wrong?" Percy asked innocently and held up his hands.

"Ya, Zoe was telling us a joke." Jason said just as innocently. Before Lupa could respond Drew walked by and grinned flirtatiously at Percy and Jason.

"Hi Jackson, Grace." she ran her finger across their chest causing them to back up and Zoe to glare at her. Drew ignored her and began to open her locker. The friends started to panick. Once it opened an unconious Hercules fell onto Drew causing her to scream and collapse sending the group into a fit of laughter. Lupa glared at them and started to run towards them until she slipped on a banana peel causing another fit of laughter from 2 twins who were identical as they stepped by the group. Said group laughed even harder. The twins saw Drew struggling under the weight of Hercules and looked at the group impressed.

"Nice job, I'm Travis this is Conner. I know you guys, your pretty much famous here." the taller twin was Travis and the shorter one was Conner. Percy grinned at them,

"I think we'll get along just fine." once Lupa got up she was extremely red faced.

"JACKSON, GRACE, NIGHTSHADE, VALDEZ, STOLLS!" she screamed and the twins grinned impishly. As did the group.

"RUN!" they all screamed and bolted down the hall. The Stolls were very fast, but so was the group. All of them had become accustomed to running from Lupa. Unbeknownst to Percy and Zoe, Annabeth figured out a plan worthy of Athena.

Im so sorry about the late updates, my Internet got all screwed up so as an apology I wrote 2 chapters for you guys. And Percy forgave Jason so quickly because his fatal flaw is loyalty. Comment and stuff, what do u think? I finally added the STOLLS!
