Jason looks up, and explains the story to Piper. Her eyes fill up with pain and sadness. "You mean, she doesn't remember any of us? Not even you?" she whispers to me.
"Not even me." She's now blinking away tears, and she leans down to hug me. "I'm sorry Percy," she murmurs.
"Thanks, let's just hope this surgery goes well," I say back.
Piper and Jason fill me in on what's happened recently with them, and I do the same. An hour passes. Then our conversation is interrupted by Annabeth's surgeon, a handsome man with light blues eyes, shocking against his light chocolate skin. I immediately stand, along with Jason and Piper.
"How is she?" I ask him.
"She's doing fine Percy, she's in her room," he replies.
I let out a sigh of relief, but then another question that's been haunting me pops into my mind. "Is her memory any better? Does she remember us now?"
He takes a deep breath, and my heart sinks. "Percy, I'm going to have to say this the way it is. Annabeth may never get her memory back. It would be a miracle if she did. There isn't anything we can do. I'm sorry." He puts his hand on my shoulder, and then walks away so we can be alone. I feel like my legs can't hold me up, so I stumble back to my chair. I mean Annabeth doesn't even know me. She only sees me as a guy who's helped her get back some memories of her life. Not including memories of me. We haven't gotten there yet.
The sliding doors open again after an hour of Jason, Piper and I staring blankly ahead at the wall, not believing what we just heard. This time I see Leo, and a pretty girl with caramel hair enter. My jaw drops when I recognize who she is. It's Calypso. How in the world did she... Leo must have figured out a way to get her off Ogygia. Then all of a sudden Calypso makes eye contact with me, and she practically sprints over to me. At the same time out of the corner of my eye I see through the glass sliding doors Annabeth walking around unsteadily . I look over at her, but then Calypso gets in the way of my line of sight. Leo looks at us, clueless of what Calypso's doing. Then she kisses me full on the lips. I retaliate in shock, and I see Leo's eyes fill up with betrayal, then his mouth drops open.
