I couldn't stand seeing Percy and Annabeth in the sterile, white hospital ward. Will said that they'd be released the next day for school.
"Go away and they might be released tonight," he said, after we kept badgering him about it.
"You know that he's not really going to let them out, right?" Nico asked.
"He might!" I was so excited to get back to class with them.
Piper
The room was so quiet without Annabeth, her usual quiet humming and pencil scratching was something that I really missed. It was part of our daily routine. I'd attempt to study for English or math and she'd draw for her architecture class. After about an hour of not understanding it, I'd give up and she'd show me the new building.
She'd always wake up at 6 and boil water for our morning tea, she'd always help me understand math. Annabeth was the best roommate ever and when she wasn't there I felt lost. Especially in math.
The morning she came home I about woke up the whole floor.
"ANNABETH!" I squealed.
"Piper!"
I gently hugged her, trying not to hurt her.
Below us we heard a loud collective "PERCY!"
The next few days were interesting. Waking up to Annabeth screaming because of her night terrors in the middle of the night was definitely the worst part. I'd have to calm her down and then attempt to go back to sleep.
For Percy, the worst part was being out of swim team practice. He couldn't wait to get back in the water, at one point he begged his coach to no avail.
Annabeth hated seeing Percy like that, so she often went down to their dorm and took Percy outside. She'd read to him and he'd sit and listen intently, hanging eagerly to every word she said.
I'd often watch them from the window when I was supposed to be studying for a trigonometry test.
Annabeth
I hated waking up to night terrors and waking up Piper and sometimes even the boys. I hated bothering her while she slept.
Percy wasn't faring well either, without being able to go to practice he was going insane.
They were still attempting to find the shooters, no luck yet. Every day we would wait for Reyna to give us news. We would stand outside our doors as she walked by to make sure the room was in okay condition; at the end of the hallway, near our room and Hazel and Thalia's room, she announce any news about what happened. Nothing had come across them yet.
Thalia
Hills Academy soon became like a prison, a very relaxed prison. Security was increased, we couldn't go outside alone, no one was safe.
Nico and I spent more time together, fearing that there'd be another attack and we'd die. Or one one would live and the other wouldn't survive.
Will and Nico were best friends, Will started teaching Nico about medical things so he could help if another shooting occured.
