Annabeth has been wheeled out to her OR, and I just stay in the waiting area. I look around for something to keep me busy, and just decide to go over to the coffee machine. I get a cup to keep me awake, because I was up all night worrying over Annabeth's surgery. It is a brain surgery, so it's pretty serious. Something could go really wrong. I sip my coffee and look around the room. All of a sudden I hear the automatic doors slide open. I see a couple walk in, the guy with blonde hair and ice blue eyes. The girl has darker hair and tan skin. I stand up and wave them over.
"Jason! Piper! What are you guys doing here?" I ask them.
Jason responds, "We heard about Annabeth. We're really sorry man. We just came to give support to you."
"Okay, well thanks. How'd you know about Annabeth?"
"Chiron told us. He has a phone now! That's how he got ahold of us. Annabeth must have told him about it. Just so you know, he also told Leo, Frank, and Hazel."
"Oh, okay. That's cool. Well, she just went in a few minutes ago, so we'll probably be waiting here for a while."
"That's alright. It's for Annabeth," Piper responds.
"Yep," says Jason, agreeing.
Then Piper heads over to the coffee machine, and Jason comes closer to me. We both sit down in the chairs lining the walls of the room, and he leans over to whisper in my ear.
"Hey man. I had to wait for Piper to go over there to tell you this. Alright, here it is. I'm thinking of proposing to Piper," he whispers excitedly.
I pull back a little to look him in the eyes. "Wow, congrats! When you planning on doing it?" I whisper.
"Well, I haven't bought the ring yet, I was hoping you and Annabeth could come help me pick it out. I want it to be perfect."
"Yeah, of course, I know where you're coming from." When I was searching for an engagement ring for Annabeth, I transformed into a guy I didn't know existed in me. I was paying attention to every single little detail, and I bet if anyone had looked at me, they never would have guessed I have ADHD. I ended up picking a ring with a teardrop shaped emerald in the center, and little diamonds running along the light gold band. Annabeth loved it.
"Cool, I was thinking on going whenever Annabeth has the green light to get out of bed."
"Alright, sounds good. The only problem is that Annabeth doesn't remember any of us. That's why she's in surgery."
Jason's mouth drops open, and whispers, "I had no idea, man. I'm sorry. Chiron only told us that Annabeth was going into surgery, and that was it. I didn't know she didn't remember us!"
Then, I see movement behind Jason, and I look up. It's Piper, and her jaw has dropped open. "Wait, what did you just say Jason?"
